    I hate Verisign. I was really afraid that ICANN wouldn't grant this proposal. (In their own special brand of wisdom.) I am a happy .org owner.

    Read the fucking links.
    It is open to anybody.


    Now, now, don't be mean. Let me list other things you shouldn't do:

    Point out that the original poster is lazy, or a moron, or functionally illiterate, or a karma whore.

    Complain about the moderation system by posting sarcastic responses like:
    I'm lost. Where am I? What is the article about? Where do I click my mouse, in order to read it? Someone come over to my house and read it to me. I expect a new category (score: 6) to be introduced, my ignorance is so praiseworthy.

    Also! Never point out that you're karma capped. It's offtopic.

    The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.

    slashdot.info just brings up the newsforge page. That's owned by OSDN - like slashdot.

    Is there some relationship between OSDN and zdnet?

    Every time I go to slashdot.info, i get a different new site. So far i've gotten The Register, CNN.com, and some other world news outlet.

    yes, it seems to have the same articles as
    slashdot, but fresher articles and no repeated
    front page "stories" as news.
