An editor with tech news Web site Slashdot.org, stricken with the love bug, popped the question to his sweetie online -- on Slashdot's home page. CmdrTaco commandeered the top story spot and wrote: "Kathleen Fent read this story." She did and e-mailed him her answer 15 minutes later: "Yes" in the subject line, and "Dork. You made me cry. :)" in the body. If you heard a quarter million "awwwws" in cyberspace on Valentine's Day, this is why.
