The 10 Tech People Who Don't Matter
TopShelf writes "Business 2.0 recently ran a feature on the Top 50 People Who Matter in the business world, but perhaps more interesting is their list of the 10 People Who Don't Matter. Leading off the list is a Slashdot favorite, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer..." Given, Rob's in there as well, but I'd say his company in the list is pretty decent.
Right, I'm sick of this. The one article where I deserve a mention and they leave me out. Guess I just don't matter.

Hey, at least you got there in the first place. More than most of your readership will ever accomplish!

This article is complete fake, and you know how I know...
Malda knows his subject, and he's a good editor, but in the end, he's just no match for the power of the multitudes.
Only kidding, slash is home I won't believe its dying until netcraft confirms it.

Slashdot - News For Nerds Stuff That Doesn't Matter.
To err is human. To forgive is not company policy.
Just ouch. They put extra sand in the vaseline for slashdot in that little article.
Look, people! Here's one that does read the article without reading the blurb. In one word -- wow.
Swedish plasma phys. PhD student; MSc EE; knows maths, programming, electronics; finance interest; seeks opportunities
Wait what is that I hear - the sound of a continuous stream of chairs being violently
thrown in the general direction of Business 2.0 Magazine offices.
Your insanely masterful trolling was the only thing worth reading on Slashdot!
Thats the beauty of slashdot. Some people live the high-performance, cutting edge, gotta-be-connected, crackberry life, but as us older geeks age, its nice to have our news slowed down. It gives us time to think about it.
...
And for some of us, its very useful to remind us of the news again a day later. (Thanks Zonk!)
Now what was I just doing?
Slash has the posting speed just about right and the subject matter is spot on.
Check's in the mail.

Slashdot is consistantly several hours if not days behind other geek news sources now, so yeah it is a lot less relevant.
If I had to guess?
First. Post. Ever.
Everything I need to know I learned by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Oh yeah? Well, I have four words for you. *I* *love* *this* *website*! YEEEAAAHHHH!!!! [throws chair]

Actually, slashdot was owned by the GNAA, but Malda and his cronies had a coup to overthrow them and replace OSTG as the new overlords, which I for one welcomed. In the end we all got modded down.

Yeah, and in case you still missed an article. A dupe comes to the rescue.
CheersI was just helping that sheep over the fence.

In other words, Digg fuels and exacerbates your ADHD...
You're using her as bait, Master!
"...there's some extremely bright people on here amongst the crap."
Yes, without slashdot posts I never would have learned about Natalie Portman - petrified, Hot Grits and the utter abject horror of an accidental goatse.cx click. Could we please bring back Tuesday Trolls as a moderation-free weekly event?

So when's Rob gonna roll with his crew and bust some caps in Business 2.0?
YOU GOT SERVED, bitch.
Does it make you happy you're so strange?
Cue the UID comparison thread.
/. has really taken a turn for the worst in quality, and UID comparisons (where smaller seems to be better, for some reason).
You got it.
Oh, and I agree, too. The quality of the articles has turned into a gamers' report site, and the discussion threads always degenerate into "me, too" posts, talks about how
It's shameful, really.
Microsoft is to software what Budweiser is to beer.
I certainly don't matter, why am I not on that list?
Not to be matter of fact, but how much do you have to not matter in order to get on a 'People Who Don't Matter' list?
To make matters worse, you matter more just for being on that list.

This is what I was explaining to my co-workers today. Slashdot is still a "geek" website with lots of people who have a clue. Plus its a place where hilarious fights over technology happen all the time. The slashdot posts are full of "experts" and many times I learn from the posters. Digg has a lot of crap all over the front page all the time. I don't care about most of it and don't enjoy sifting through it. The discussions generally suck and most of the comments seem to be from 14 years olds. They both have their benefits, I just think Slashdot has a different community. Digg is just a crapshoot in a lot of ways.

In that regard, then, it is Slashdot's peer.

Apart from the guys from the 70's posting here, lets not forget so does Wil Weaton from time to time. Digg doesn't HAVE that!

We've been hearing about a "future moderation system" for a few years now.
that's because it's based on the duke nukem forever engine...
