If you weren't already aware, a bunch of people who usually read slashdot.org got frustrated and went back to Usenet, partly because of the new slashdot beta interface Dice Media is imposing, partly because we all suddenly remembered how much we love Usenet.
We all landed at comp.misc. If you love Usenet and want to contribute to a community of people posting and commenting on tech stories, please come join us. A bit off topic, but I figure there are a fair number of techies here at comp.lang.python. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
