Slashdot Mirror
Thanks For Reading: 15 Years of News For Nerds
Slashdot turns 15 this month! You may have noticed that we’ve swapped out the usual logo for the first of the reader-contributed designs we'll be featuring this month. (If you think you have a better idea, we'd love to see it; all artists whose designs we choose to run will get Slashdot anniversary T-shirts, and one will get a Nexus 7 tablet.) We're also happy to announce an overdue feature here on Slashdot: a blog with information from the developers and editors. We'll use it to provide updates and background information about the site's development (for instance, new features or fixed bugs, or changes in the user interface), and try to answer reader questions about the site at greater length than the FAQ. Shameless tease: today, you can read about the launch of Slashdot mobile in the inaugural post. We might use the blog to expound on story choice or to make non-critical announcements, too. You probably don't come to Slashdot generally to read about Slashdot, though, so don't worry &mdash the blog will live safely and quietly in the background until you want to read it. Since this is a new feature, we're still working out exactly how it should best be used, so feel free to make suggestions below on what you'd like to see. Between now and the end of October, look for a passel of other treats, too, starting with an interview with Woz later today. We hope you'll get together with other readers at one of the many parties planned for later this month, also. Slashdot exists for and because of everyone who reads the site; thank you for being part of it.
3 obvious points about that: /. is dying when Netcraft confirms it.
1. I'll believe
2. Your preferred $EDITOR sucks. Mine rocks.
3. I want Natalie Portman naked and petrified in hot grits.
I am officially gone from
In Soviet Russian, Natalie Portman pours hot grits on YOU.
The new corporate overlords thought that one lie ('news') per tag line was as many as their lawyers were comfortable with.
I am TheRaven on Soylent News
I, for one, welcome our hot grit pouring Portmans from Russia Overlords.
As a real nerd I have to object. Endianness is all about the order of equal-sized elements in a larger container. In the most popular form, it is about the order of bytes within a larger (16, 32 or 64) word. Hence, assuming every character is stored as a byte, the logo should be
todhsalS (64 bit), salShtodh (32 bit) or lSsadhto (16 bit).
This logo is not a correct representation of any little endianness stored Slashdot, not even on 24 bit machines.
You, sir, are definitely in the right place.
Finally had enough. Come see us over at https://soylentnews.org/
