Then those people need to step into the 21st century and get their news on the blogs like the rest of us.

The lag experienced sending a packet across the internet can literally mean the difference between a successful or unsuccessful trade, based on who gets their order in first.

Ever hear of this thing called slashdot?

Dude, don't even TALK to me about this place. Slashdot is a circus of stupidity. Moderation is a complete failure, it is abused constantly every day. And even as it is, the system frequently takes a crap and cannot handle the load.

Slashdot is a prime example of how NOT to run a website. You should use it only as a counterexample, and as an exception to any rule about needing a well-executed website to draw in traffic.
