P.S. I figured that there'd surely be other comments about the news
worthy parts of Suresh's message, but reading /. is well interesting.
I thought not too many did that these days.

I do occasionally (when I ocassionally pass by the browser tab) 
skim it, though there are only a few worthwhile articles/week.

I used to live on reddit, but it's gone all to shit in hyperexponential
time. They now even killed my.reddit.com, and recommended is full of
crap as ever. I can't believe we still don't have a personal news
service in end-2007.

I also try StumbleUpon now and then, and am similiarly unconvinced.
Server-side clustering can't be that hard, yet it's some 14 years
we've been knowning that, and still nothing happens.

P.S. Just came across the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_rain_in_Kerala

 I stopped reading reddit when they decided they were too grown up for
 nsfw.reddit.com

Ok so on a lark I clicked the link gmail made out my comment on
nsfw.reddit.com - it works. I guess they decided sex sells afterall
eh?

I wouldn't really care for a NSFW reddit (both because it's boring,
and because I have no problems to view anything I want at my work,
but there has been one for a while.

But I cannot forgive them to treat server-side clustering as a
minor feature. By doing that they set themselves up for a yet another
failure.

Oh, and has Leopard been good to you, too?
