Slashdot Mirror


Who Do You Trust Least?

Mister Furious points to a story on Yahoo! "about how a recent study found AOL to be the least trusted site on the net. It even got lower trust ratings then Microsoft." It would be good to see the actual survey questions and results, since they're referred to only in vague terms. Partly because of that, the story could proabably appear in the Onion without raising many eyebrows -- it seems to tacitly acknowledge that to these companies, perception is more important than reality. If you don't use AOL or MSN, one's current ISP is always a good recipient of distrust.

    Their history of falling for blatant hoaxes; their attitude of contempt for their readers; the barrel of dirty tricks they've used to censor through moderation; their editorial bias; their outright lies; their support of intellectual property theft; Jon Katz's intellectual property violations (the hellmouth book).

    and you think the schmucks here at /. will bother telling you about it ? Dont bet on it. Frankly I wouldn't care too much if /. shut down. Stupid site, Ignorant editors like Michael on the staff.... I mean, jeez, /. employs Michael.. this is the same guy that shut down the censorware project over politics. He's the biggest hypocrite of all the /. editors..

    Timothy and Cowboyneil aint so bad but they're spelling is horrid.

    That's not slashdot, just the trolls. And the new codebase makes such things harder.

    Slashdot is the trolls. They're 100 times wittier and more intelligent than Taco and his motley crew of spaghetti coders. They also manage to keep a large number of sites up and running 24/7 without screaming obscenities at their Cisco support people, something that the Slashdot crew seem to have trouble with.

    Well, the tech news is biased enough here..there's plenty of mistakes and misunderstandings with regard to many of the articles. Not to mention valid accusations of plagiarism, and instances in which anti-Slashdot postings were mysteriously removed from comment lists.

    Moronerators, lay off the crack!

    The post was about untrustworthy sites and by backpedaling upon their "sftware must be free" stance, VA Linux have proven their untrustworthiness.

    So how come this post is moronerated
