I will not be paying for a Slashdot subscription. My reason for this is that if Slashdot were to cease to exist, I'd not miss it. There are heaps of other (usually more accurate) places on the net that you can get tech news, and the discussions on the site were never particularly noteworthy.

I pay for Salon. I bought Radio. I bought Sluggy Freelance books. If a service on the net provides me with something I think I might miss if it's gone, I'll pay for it. Slashdot has no such place.

And don't get me started on Kuro5hin. What a bunch of pretentious, self-important navel-gazers.
