Like most netnews groups, SlashDot does not check the
accuracy of every
submission. So before you go bashing /. as being stupid
enough to think a
DECstation is Alpha based, try bashing the author. Get *your* facts
straight.
Veering further off topic, I have noticed -- as a personal
observation -- that there is an over-abundance of idiocy on
slashdot. That's even compared to other similar venues.
It's part of the reason I don't read it much any more.

Yea, I won't advocate reading the reader responses, at least not without
the moderation level set to 5. But as headlines, it often has interesting
and relevant stuff, especially as links to other sites.
