Startrek.com Shutting Down
Curlsman writes to let us know that the fan site startrek.com, operated for 13 years by CBS, is being shut down and its staff laid off. Is this site worth a write-in campaign? From the (perhaps final) post: "Goodbye from the STARTREK.COM Team. Sadly, we must report that CBS Interactive organization is being restructured, and the production team that brings you the STARTREK.COM site has been eliminated. Effective immediately. We don't know the ultimate fate of this site, which has served millions of Star Trek fans for the last thirteen years. If you have comments, please send them to editor @ startrek.com — we hope someone at CBS will read them."

America : A government of the people , by the corporations

oops double negation
not really not newsworthy....should've been 'not really newsworthy'
This has to be the most insightful comment I've read on Slashdot. It's a pity to see the consequences of Marx's analysis of the capitalist society being carried away so naturally these days. The alienation of the workers from their work is extremely evident not only in the structure of today's society, but also in the minds of most of those partaking in the progress of society (or are they perhaps a consequence of this very society? It's hard to tell).
I really wish the best to these guys, they really seemed like they enjoyed their work. A rare treat these days.
Great Ceasar's ghost, he is a Slashdot poster child!
Who the hell cares? I guess this falls into the "News for nerds" category. This is definitely not "Stuff that matters."
