Slashdot: 1, Tom: 0

[cthellis42]

Actually, there might be more score than that, but Tom's certainly getting a bit of a /. drubbing right now. Geek clashes are always fun.

LOL! OMFG is that a hilarious thread to read over at /., they're absolutely shredding Tom's!!!

 

[bloodbob]

Yeah they really are bagging him out lol

Well it was damn ironic wasn't it, Tom's opening a new site about networking, and that very site dying almost instantly after the first Slashdotters appeared. It doesn't exactly inspire confidence..

Well, it didn't so much go down, as filter away all those refered from /.
This is the page you get when you come from /., wheras this is the proper page....

Though they have changed the text on the index_slashdot.php (removed adds&images++) it still shows that the guy(s) behind the page does have some knowledge about networking...

But for those who just followed the link directly from /. I agree it wouldn't inspire confidence...

Once again, the people of /. rant good and long, yet 95% of them hadn't even seen the page. /. once again proves what a valuable source of information it sometimes certainly isn't.

If you notice, http://tomsnetwork.com/ is unresponsive as well. Near as I can tell, they kept getting swamped and moving and redirecting. The only place I've seen any of the site so far has been in a Google archive. Heh...

 

[Hanners]

I guess that says it all really.

To be fair though, http://tomsnetworking.com/ works for me.

I thought this was the best quote from that entire /. page:

In Soviet Russia, Hardware Guides Tom!

How this fits into "3D Graphics Companies and Industry" is a bit of a mystery to me. cthellis42 loses 1 karma point. Oh, and the slashdot crowd in that thread, they don't even have points left to lose.
