It's sort of like a USENET newsgroup done on a web server. Each article is about some web site or computer related article on the web somewhere. Commercial sites often feel pain when they get a link, private sites often melt down. If the site in question is on a NT server, it won't be able to handle the traffic. Sometimes sites that recieve a link have to close off web access for a while. Common topics; Linux, Cool new tech, Macintosh, DEC Alpha, and everyones favorite Anti-Microsoft. Slashdot is a great site, I definitly recommend avoiding it, as it's also a great time sink. Once you start, you can't stop :^/ Zane | Zane H.
