I found this amusing:

The links send you to this:
My RSS Headline Reader Tells me I Was Banned!
Due largely to the absolutely ridiculous amount of abuse we get on a daily basis from poorly implemented headline readers, we were forced to implement a much more liberal automated banning system on RSS/RDF headline reading applications. Our policy is to allow one request every 30 minutes. We'll allow a few more before you will get banned, and we are more flexible still with proxy servers. However, in many cases, we have no choice but to ban abuse.

Looks like they need to work on how that RSS aggregator works at google.

Slashdot sucks. It used to have all I needed to read, but now I have to complement it with engadget and hackaday.

That's not funny. What's funny is when Slashdot bans itself.
Observe.

It went from cool technical news to WIRED style news. It's also about 5 hours behind everyone else... and the "first post" and "gee, how funny can I be" has made me look elsewhere.

Wait, so Slashdot is complaining that another site's services are sucking up all its bandwidth? Now, that's ironic.

I'm usually more impressed by Google's software engineering, but neglecting to use Conditional HTTP GET for an RSS reader? Careless.
So much for hiring the cream of the crop.
