Slashdot is about zealots
Slashdot made a horrible mistake reposting a year old article by Paul Thurrot. If I'm not mistaken, slashdot did a post on Paul's article when it first came out.

The only thing the repost did was cause a lot of confusion. Many of the zealots who read the repost on Paul's article took it as the gospel and didn't even pay attention to its publish date. And then those zealots went out and preached the word to anyone who would listen.

I hope people recognize slashdot for what it is: a pathetic-15-year-old-but-I'm-a-rockstar-programmer-no-I-really-am playground.
