Slashdot Mirror
A Website with Real Science News?
TechnoSophos asks: "How can I get the real scoop on the latest scientific research? The fourth-grade-reading-level newspaper version of the story is rarely accurate, and is too focused on the wow factor. On the other hand, neither searching for arbitrary strings, nor browsing by journal or even topic is particularly effective if the task is simply staying up to date with the latest news. I don't need gorgeous graphics, nor do I need someone with a Bachelor's in Literary Criticism telling me what the research is about. I just want the cold, hard facts -- lots of 'em."
This is an incredibly ignorant statement. You've clearly never read any CS Monitor stories. They are a high quality, fairly unbiased publication. They definitely don't let the whackjob worldview of their parent church seep into their journalism.
Errrm. This kind of post deserves a -1 I'm an Idiot mod. The CS monitor is one of the most respected sources of news out there. In fact, in most of the articles that have touched on the current "debate", CS has come down on the side of science not the religous beliefs of the young-earth creationists.
My suspicion is that you just don't like the "Christian" in the name. Since your comments are not grounded in reality, this makes you a bigot.

Wow. The /. editors are finally getting it. They've posted the first Ask Slashdot question that really matters! A few of us might even learn where to go to find real "news for nerds." Thanks!
