Rob Malda, "CmdrTaco" acaba de anunciar que deja Slashdot. CmdrTaco fundó Slashdot.org allá en 1997 y desde entonces ha sido un sitio de referencia, y aunque quizás haya perdido la posición que tenía ahora sigue siendo uno de los sitios imprescindibles, no tanto por las notas sino como por los comentarios. Leer Slashdot es leer los comentarios y CmdrTaco lo hizo muy bien cuando creó comentarios anidados y los sistemas de karma que permiten que leer los "5, Interesting" te aporten tanto mientras que las cadenas de "5, Funny" sacan la carcajada. También lo comenta BitBoy en su bitácora.

Su despedida.. " After 14 years and over 15,000 stories posted, it's finally time for me to say Good-Bye to Slashdot. I created this place with my best friends in a run down house while still in college. Since then it has grown to be read by more than a million people, and has served Billions and Billions of Pages (yes, in my head I hear the voice). During my tenure I have done my best to keep Slashdot firmly grounded in its origins, but now it's time for someone else to come aboard and find the *future*. Personally I don't have any plans, but if you need to get ahold of me for any reason, you can find me as @cmdrtaco on twitter or Rob Malda on Google+. You could also update my mail address to be malda at cmdrtaco dot net. Hit the link below if you want to read some nostalgic saccharine crap that I need to get out of my system before I sign off for the last time." En fin, hay un comentario en Slashdot, cuanto menos interesante...
