	Slashdot \| The Interview with Bruce Sterling
		Slashdot is fast becoming recognized as a community inhabited by a diverse range of techno-geeks, writers, scientists, etc., all of whom have something to contribute.
		I'm sure that when someone is presented with the opportunity to be interviewed by Slashdot, they realize they will have a challenging interview presented to them and that they will present themselves to a target audience that I suspect they respect as much as it respects them.
		The groudbreaking (IMO) decision on the part of the editors of Jane's Intelligence Review to base an article [slashdot.org] from the comments/questions of the slashdot community shows that this humble little place where we dwell is fast becoming a force in our lives.

	Slashdot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stuff that matters." Slashdot is often criticized for posting story summaries that are inaccurate and/or misspelled, and for intentionally posting articles that many find highly biased, and/or defamatory and often incite flamewars, 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.
		While Slashdot's core audiences are often said to consist of Linux enthusiasts and various other enthusiasts of the open source software movement, there is a significant Windows audience as well.

		The site's slogan is, "News for nerds, stuff that matters," but Slashdot is sometimes criticized for posting inaccurate and/or inflammatory story summaries that incite heated posting, as opposed to serious news or commentary (see Slashdot subculture).
		The Slashdot editors are sometimes accused of posting (and even preferring) stories that are, themselves, thinly-disguised trolls, which encourage large numbers of postings in response.

	Slashdot subculture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Slashdot subculture is a mixture of juvenilia, sarcasm, deliberately bad jokes, intellectual arrogance and highly developed and artistic attempts to provoke outraged responses from other forum users, amuse them, or challenge their thinking on the popular Slashdot technology website.
		Because of the specialized nature of Slashdot (it's owned by the Open Source Technology Group), moderation often leads to Groupthink, where any opinion that is in disagreement with the website's established principles (no matter how sound or well-phrased) will very likely be "modded down" and censored, leading to the perpetuation of the groupthink mentality.
		Whether the members of Slashdot's audience who make these jokes have direct familiarity with Smirnoff's comedy act (which includes much observational humor about the Soviet Union which doesn't fit the word-reversal pattern) is doubtful, since this particular faction of the Slashdot community probably recalls the Cold War as only a childhood memory.

		Many of his contributions to Slashdot were focused on the youth subculture of geeks and social misfits.
		Among the charges often levelled at him were that he was not an authentic geek and was seeking to co-opt and sensationalize geek subculture, that his writings (especially those on technical topics) were uninformed gibberish, and that he had an unhealthy fixation on the Columbine shootings.
		In the Slashdot subculture, variants on the phrase "in this post-Columbine world" are occasionally used with satirical intent, and are regarded as typical of Katz.
