    The firehose is unfortunately implemented with Javascript. Some of us keep JS turned off because of its inherent problems with Security. It is the second biggest cause of problems right behind MS Windows.

    And, sorry, noscript doesn't cut it. That's a bandage on top of something fundamentally broken.

    I'm really disappointed with Slashdot on this; it's not difficult to implement the firehose without javascript. It seems they were too lazy to do so.

    That's also the reason why I don't use digg. Granted, I'm not missing much. But if the folks at digg aren't technically competent to do things without relying on javascript, they can't possibly offer anything of technical interest.

    I would hope Slashdot doesn't fall into this same boat
