Watcom was a great compiler, produced (and I must say, still produces) some of the most highly optimized code of any compilers. I still use it for my minor projects...
I really like the fact that research is publicized on such a popular site as Slashdot. I think Slashdot is definitely the place where people should be able to consistently find out about new developments in science.
Perhaps Slashdot could run some sort of a sweep/review of the latest hot papers in particular research areas or published on recent conferences and post the summaries, impressions and links.
This is already being done for books and all kinds of miscellanous topics (think Quickies).
Occasional discoveries in CS, Physics and Chemistry are also sometimes publicized. How does the selection process work? Why does some research find its way to Slashdot and tons of other, no less exciting, research does not?
