Slashdot Mirror


Nearly Half of U.S. 'Net Users Post Content

An anonymous reader copies and pastes: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nearly half of U.S. Internet users have built Web pages, posted photos, written comments or otherwise added to the enormous variety of material available online, according to a report released on Sunday. The Pew Internet and American Life Project found that about 44 percent of the country's Internet users have created content for others to enjoy online." Don't read the blurb - cut straight to the study.

    So there's these 2 muffins in an oven.

    They're both sitting, just chilling and getting baked.

    And one of them yells "God Damn, it's hot in here!"

    And the other muffin replies "Holy Crap, a talking muffin!"

    Ever notice the "beat the rush and see it early" link at the top of slashdot when a new story is about to come out?

    Sounds good, doesn't it? To be able to view the pages linked to in the article before the tens of thousands of other slashbots click to view them.

    Did it ever occur to you that you're taking part in cyber-terrorism?

    That's right: Slashdot's editors are cyber-terrorists. They coordinate a DOS against small websites, and they attempt to collect moeny from people who wish to be spared the effects of said DOS. Terrorism, plain and simple.

    You can fight this and other crimes by slashdot's editors by joining anti-slash. Anti-slash is committed to forcing the editors to own up to their numerous crimes against the geek community. Until our demands are met, we will relentlessly discredit them as a news service through trolling and other means.

    Also, props to poopbot and the alan thicke troll. We remember your accomplishments.

    Troll?
    Come on! There's nothing trollish about sometwo's comment - a little humour maybe, could be insightful depending on the previous comments...
    Might not be modded up, but definitely not worthy of some weird mod...

    Eh. That's a threshold. The difference? The data isn't deleted, just sortable.

    I think your point is valid, but some context needs to be established.
