Actually, they do. The difference is, that unlike corporations, they have no choice as to whether they should or shouldn't pay, and can therefore be safely ignored by the rulers.
I remember when I first started reading slashdot at 13/14 because I realized that all the computer news sites in my country stole their news stories from Slashdot. It was probably the first English site I frequented (now I frequent only English sites).
Now, about 4 years later and in a different continent, I am 17 (still a young whipper-snapper) and, despite my dalliances with Digg (bleh), Reddit and OSNews, I always find myself returning to my green overlord of geeky syndication.
Happy 10th birthday, Slashdot. I wish you many more.
BTW, does anyone know is Connor O'Neals lets those of us who may not legally drink in as long as they don't attempt to consume intoxicating beverages? I live in Ann Arbor and would be quite disappointed to miss the event.
I'm sorry, but using the same technologies that have existed for years in shinier and more sophisticated ways does not a version shift make. Rather, we are talking about a sort of Web 1.4, or more accurately Web CVS20070924.
Web 2.0 will come when the very foundations of the web, HTML/XHTML, CSS, and Javascript, are shaken from the foundation (which, at least with CSS, is a long time coming IMO).
Or you could just block ads. I love it when you are trying to convince us not to do something, and when we disagree you claim that we are "whining".
Pot. Kettle. Black.
The theory of gravity, which has been pushed on our children by evil secular godless atheist heathens, still remains unproven. We should be teaching Intelligent Falling, which states that Go... er, an intelligent faller pushes all of humanity down to the ground whenever they jump up.

That's three consecutive stories with spelling and/or grammar errors.
No.
So you have more of a right to an IT job than a person in Africa or Asia? Somehow, that strikes me as racist.
(I know nothing about kernel programming, please don't lynch me)

Oh, I'm sorry, did I just scar you for life?

Nah, in Soviet Russia, the party organizes you! (A coherent Soviet Russia joke? Say it ain't so!)
Dude, every time I blinked, it blinked!

That's an interesting combination of comment and sig.
It's lightweight, it opens word document, and it doesn't have a load of autobullshit. Works for me.

Try it and report.
Exactly. My favorite places to look for software are apt, gnomefiles, sourceforge and freshmeat in that order. Never had any problems.
Yeah, completely LAME.
Advertising, advertising, advertising. Do you think the DVD brand sprang out of nothing?
The iPhone suddenly got way better.
Congratulations, you just published the most messed up slashdot comment in existence.
The fact of the matter is that power will almost always come with the price tag of increased complexity.
I think you've got it reversed: vi:(kate|scite)::sword:stick A sword isn't useless just because you don't know how to wield it.
No, no, you're getting that all wrong. If you want it to be a question, you have to rephrase it as "estne nomen omen?"
I'm an atheist, but I've got to note that in that specific quote God is clearly asking Adam even though he knows, as some rhetorical device of sorts.
