For example, whatever's happened to Slashdot these days? This is not the first time I'm making my disgust for the 'new' slashdot plainly known, but yes, I still do care, because /. was a geek institution once upon a time. For that matter, 'the Internet' was a geek institution once upon a time...

There are just so few geek institutions left, unless of course you want to lurk around Lisp blogs and SGI forums *wink*. Where's the common geek meeting ground these days?

Every time I come across a webpage plastered with "Welcome Slashdotters, we hope you enjoy your visit", I get an uncanny sense of deja-vu, the closest memory being of waking up blinking at 3 AM and staring at the bright lights of a highway convenience store blaring "Welcome Greyhounders, we hope you enjoy your visit"...

*sigh*
