fishing lures, custom peg board tool holders, stands/mounts/cases for electronic projects, and a lot of miniature D&D models. When I was able to get a printer for sub $200 it became a hobby and I am not really concerned with the practical use any more even though I have found some use. It is more of an entertainment item than anything else.
What about allowing both to exist? Creat a new topic area similiar to the ones you have now (Games, Hardware, etc...) but call it something like "Regular Users" or something. Now, all of the articals by repeat users go into this topic area. On the main slashdot.org page where you show the new articals you supress the 'regular users' topic area so that casual visitors see new, fresh articals by different users. More serious slashdot users can direct themselfs to the 'regular users' area to see more articals. It would keep them seperate but yet allow them to coexist.

Could this be the begining of the end? See the young people emerge from the houses squinting at the daylight
Stardust@home - very easy to track progress and classroom materials avaiable.
USFIRST is always a great option
