Leonard Nimoy: Smoking Is Illogical

Posted by timothy on from the even-with-little-dollar-signs-on-the-tube dept.

An anonymous reader writes "My boyhood hero, actor Leonard Nimoy, has developed lung disease. To those still smoking and in the grips of marketing induced denial, he says 'quit now.' Small acts of goodness make the universe a better place."

      I bet the /. beta team are all smokers.

      It isn't logical to completely destroy the essence of a popular website just to try to extract some extra money from it, but destroy it in the process.

      Kinda like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs just so you can try to extract the eggs quicker. Sorry, but you may find the essence of the site dies in the process.

      "Slashdot Media was acquired to provide content and services that are important to technology professionals in their everyday work lives and to leverage that reach into the global technology community benefiting user engagement on the Dice.com site. The expected benefits have started to be realized at Dice.com. However, advertising revenue has declined over the past year and there is no improvement expected in the future financial performance of Slashdot Media's underlying advertising business. Therefore, $7.2 million of intangible assets and $6.3 million of goodwill related to Slashdot Media were reduced to zero. "

      Fuck Beta, Fuck Beta, Fuck Beta.

      Mod away, buddy. You're not going to stop the protest, or to stop the hemorrhaging of users when classic goes away. Nobody's too worried about karma right now, we're worried about Dice killing slashdot.
