	Slashdot effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slashdot consists of brief submitted articles and a self-moderated discussion on each story.
		The marriage proposal of Slashdot founder Rob Malda [5] and the announcement of Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4 source code leaks [6] were a couple of the more active stories.
		While in some cases this has been considered a good thing, in others it is viewed with disdain by the prior members, as quite often the sheer number of new people brings a lot of the unwanted aspects of Slashdot along with it, such as incessant trolling, vandalism, and newbie-like behavior (see Slashdot trolling phenomena).

		Stuff that matters." Slashdot is often criticized for posting on purpose story summaries that many find inaccurate, highly biased, and/or inflammatory and that incite heated posting, while ignoring news or commentary on issues which outsiders may consider more serious or important (see Slashdot subculture).
		It is also infamous for the Slashdot effect, when thousands of Slashdot readers read an article and connect to the linked website, flooding it with unexpected traffic, and at times bringing the site down in a manner similar to a Denial of Service attack.

	Quit Slashdot.org Today!
		On Slashdot, many articles discuss technical issues---but comments are refereed by popular vote, and even though the populace of Slashdot readers knows somewhat more than your average set of people off the street, they still tend to promote (as in "moderate up") a lot of technical nonsense.
		The difference between Slashdot and other communities is that they have the means to kick their village idiot off his soapbox, but they lack the will.
		Unfortunately, Slashdot is not an isolated phenomenon; there are many sites out there that, in attempting to be alternatives to Slashdot, have become mere imitators, as bad as (or even worse than) the original.

	Slashdot \| TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark
		Seems pretty clear to me that Slashdot absolves itself of responsibility, especially with them not deleting comments, and letting the community moderate posts (specifically mentioned in the 'comments might be moderated' caveats are Illegal comments).
		Slashdot caved; that doesn't mean that the Scientologists were on the right side of the law.
		The slashdot editors took down the post and instead posted a long rant about Scientology's threat to free speech and liberty, complete with links to exposes of the church as well as links that would get you to the information that was originally taken down.

	Slashdot \| Microsoft AntiSpyware thinks Firefox is Spyware

		I can't work out what timezones all these posts there and on slashdot refer to; but I'm pretty sure the follow up admission was there before it went up on Slashdot, not that anyone should have taken it at face value.

		Connected to the net in the conference room, I was getting news through Slashdot because most of the major media websites were down, and the broadcast news was simply playing video of the attacks over and over.
		Soon, many of the other attendees were also checking Slashdot for links to and mirrors of the news gathered by Slashdot's readers.
		Slashdot just gave people who weren't there a way to talk and theorize about what was happening.

	Define Slashdot Effect - a definition from Whatis.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Slashdot Effect is the sudden, relatively temporary surge in traffic to a Web site that occurs when a high-traffic Web site or other source posts a story that refers visitors to another Web site.
		The Slashdot Effect can be perceived when any large Web site posts a high-interest, widely-publicized story about another site.
		Slashdot, the Web site, is named, according to Slashdot originator Jeff "Hemos" Bates, as "a play on how terrible it is to say domain names out loud." In this case: h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash-slash-dot-dot-o-r-g

		He's submitted a quite interesting feature which discusses issues surrounding many of the options (Sat, Cable, DSL, Modems) and where he ended up.
		It is a little different than typical Slashdot fare, but I think you'll like it if you've thought about DSL, but wanted more data to get started.
		I wrote this is in an effort to purge myself of experience in getting DSL service, and in the hope that it helps make us DSL consumers a little more informed about the machinations behind those slick adverts that are popping up around the US.
