I Will Derive

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-now-isn't-that-nice dept.

Jamie stumbled upon a very choice video this morning called I Will Derive. To the tune of some song you've never heard before, singing about subjects you know nothing about... oh and a a TI-84 cameo. It features the dopiest dancing you'll see on YouTube today. I promise.

  1. Re:Excuse me while I gouge my eyes out with a spoo by Vectronic · · Score: 4, Informative

    Im not against little comedic stuff like this, or the Idle section itself, it was actually a good idea. But I think that the front page (or any of the main 'news' sections) should be for tech/science/economy/etc "stuff that matters"

    This is rightly in the Idle section, and if you were just looking for something to pass a few minutes and maybe a giggle or two... "choose" to go to the Idle section... just like you would choose to wander around YouTube by itself without having Slashdot.

    Weekend or not, I think most people expect Slashdot to provide informative "nerdy" things with a certain amount of dignity.

    Netcraft doesn't track site popularity AFAIK, but Alexa does. And alexa does in fact confirm: slashdot is dying.

    I mean, what the fuck guys? This is such an awesome website. I know that stupid videos get a lot of click throughs in the short term, but you're driving away your regulars with that silly shit. News, fellas, post news.
