I think what you have run into is the slashdot nerd-ego. There are a ton of /.rs that think they are gods gift to technology. They like to hear themselves talk about "nerdy" things so they get these articles about software they will never touch and pretend to read it just hard enough so they can spout off about it to a cube neighbor.

I know at least one person will tell me about this article today and:

1) they have never set up postgresql.
2) they have never set up solaris.
3) they sure as hell havn't set up postgresql on solaris.

perhaps /. editors should have a nice article about firefox (since they released v 1.5rc3)
or google (since a link "Try searching for test on Google Book Search") is now in my results
or any number of other tech related happenings.
