    You might like http://digg.com/, which is completely user-run. The amusing part is that it still manages to get its fair share of dupes and people who whine about trolls posting Slashdot articles.

    Thanks for the info

    I've never been to digg.com but I was checking it out. It looks like any user can submit articles on digg. The G4 article was submitted by Deviant_Tech and this is the only article he has ever submitted (then again, he has only been a member since April 24th). At least it isn't Kevin Rose directly spreading an article that talks trash about him.

    Here are the comments for the article on digg

  3. Maybe OT, but... by vrmlguy · · Score: 1 · on Vex Pics from FIRST/LEGO/Vex Robotics Competition
    ...has anyone ever put together a LEGO robot that can build a LEGO robot? There's a LEGO plotter (http://unite.com.au/~u11235a/lego/plotter/index.h tml), so the ability to position things is there, and theres a LEGO Rubic's cube solver (http://digg.com/robots/LEGO_contraption_solves_Ru bic_s_Cube), so the ability to grasp things and move them is also present. Building something that can build a copy of itself would be a powerful demonstration of a Non Neumann machine, albeit one with a considerable need for vitamins [1]. The best that I've been able to find is this: http://computing.breinestorm.net/robots+self+chiri kjian+reconfiguration+control/. Surely someone's gone further since then.

    [1] "Vitamins" refers to items that a Non Neumann machine cannot produce on its own but which must be supplied from an external source. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clanking_replicator#A dvanced_Automation_for_Space_Missions In this case, the vitamins would comprise an entire LEGO catalog.

  5. Re:Dupes and subscribers by Rauser · · Score: 1 · on Hibernation on Demand

    I've started to check out another alternative, presented by the folks at Digg.

    The novel concept at Digg is the use of audience-based article promotion, so dupes get low ratings and are demoted. You can report dupes and have them removed. High audience interest in an article promotes it so it has a higher ranking. The audience has much more of a say, rather than the arbitrary whims of a select pool of editors.

    The entire process is spelled out nicely in their faq.

  7. Leo makes "Random Taco" call on Slashdot vs Digg by scupper · · Score: 2, Interesting · on The Screen Savers Reunited

    At 23:30 into the 34:44 min podcast mp3, Kevin starts taking about a DVI lcd deal he scooped, and Leo weighs in asking if he'd seen it on digg.com. About 24:00, Leo makes the ""Random Taco" call concerning /. editors, while discussing the differences between /. and digg. Shhwweeet! I love this podcast.

  8. Offtopic -1 by jwcorder · · Score: 0, Flamebait · on Spyware Analysis of P2P Software
    This is offtopic and feel free to flame me if you wish, but has anyone else noticed that it seems that /. has become the Digg.com repost forum? It seems like every time I see a news worthy article on the front page of Digg, 10 mins later it shows up here.

    Flame away....

    So try a different website - there are loads out there. Perhaps one with user moderation of stories (Kuro5hin etc), which isn't based on the horrible slashcode. The only thing Slashdot has going for it is the number of people here (which is also in some ways a disadvantage), so why not branch out and just read some other sites with tech news...

    How about digg.com
