Let me fire up my slashdot account and check. Ahhh... nope.

Funny thing about that... I don't remember exactly why, but a couple of days ago I found myself browsing over to Slashdot, and I found that there were actually some interesting discussions going on there, a few of which did not seem to have corresponding discussions here at HN. The list of articles also seemed more current and up-to-date than I expected, as part of the reason I drifted away from Slashdot was the fact that Digg, Reddit, HN, etc., had started to feature much fresher content.

Now I've started keeping /. open in a tab again and checking in every so often. I'd like to think it's more than just nostalgia and that they still have something to offer...

I find them worth checking out every once in a while, too.

I'm not so into their technical articles any more, but there are a few articles I like, and they usually have some good comments.

I always forget the new name. Luckily, the old URL http://freshmeat.net still works. I browse it maybe once every few months. Mostly for nostalgia sake.

I also noticed http://www.osnews.com/ has picked up more recently. I used to browse that a lot too, but it was stagnate for awhile. Glad it's trying to make a come back.
