That article looks pretty interesting. So interesting I bet it was the start of this thread :) http://socallinux.org/pipermail/linuxusers/2010-August/009186.html
Well - for I not being a digg user, I've pretty much decided by this point it's not of value to spend any time on it. Just like /. posts, wikipedia entries, etc. there seems to be some kind of battle of group opinions, and the people that collectively moderate these sites have way more time to waste than I do. I think I'll stick to editing my /etc/motd or running fortune from time to time - that's enough of a time waster. :-) On 8/10/2010, "Chris Penn" <cantorm...@gmail.com> wrote: >I am not sure why people like or hate digg.
