I stopped reading Slashdot two years ago. Compared to news sites that are more "web 2.0" compliant, and driven more by the community, Slashdot consists of the same rotten community comments of Web 2.0, without having anything that can merit "news." However, while exploring more Google Reader features, I stumbled upon these prepackaged feed lists that Google compiles. I added a few, and lo and behold, Slashdot's feed was in there.

Then I read this article about Python 3000's lack of compatibility. Did I miss something? How is this news? Guido van Rossum announced this quite some time ago. I severely doubt Google, with so many of python's developers as employees, is being taken by surprise at this news, or any other respectable Python shop.

Needless to say, Slashdot had a good run of two days in my reader, but I removed it, so that I don't have quite so much "noise" in my reader.
