I spend most of my days at work on Slashdot, especially when there is nothing better to do. I've only been registered for about a year, but I get 5 mod points once a week, and meta-moderate virtually every day.

A lot of the stories and comments posted are very interesting and worth a read, even if it means weeding through a few trolls.

Re: Who reads Slashdot?
 

I'm 567,934, I read every day, and get mod points about twice a week.

Pretty much anyone who has had an account for a few months (they throw out the newest few thousand accounts when assigning mod points), and clicks on articles an average amount of times (so infrequent visitors and obssessive fan-boys are less likely to get points), and has positive karma (similar to reputation here) is eligible for mod points. I guess I am just very average.

You win. :)

Apparently, my user number is 692,125. I go to /. more often than I should...great way to procrastinate.

I actually read Slashdot before they instituted usernames but it took me quite awhile to actually sign up.

You know, I'm not really sure if this is something to brag about...

On that note, I'm pretty relieved that someone has me beat. I'm glad it's you and Dave, if anyone, though. :p

Shouldn't this whole thing be in ChitChat?

That Mini robot is amazing...I can't say how cool that is :yikes: :ahh: . That guy is the man!!! If he can get it to run 20+ mph, I would love to see it in the DARPA race!!! That would be amazing to see a biped robot win that thing...or even just compete (like the motorcycle this past time). I want one too :D .

Re: Who reads Slashdot?
 

I thought there were people with higher access, i know anyone who reads it often gets mod points. Maybe after instituting the mod points, they took away all the moderators.

And by moderation, i don't mean by mods, but the rating system /. uses for comments.

its fake, read the comments, slashdotters are quick :)

Maybe I jumped to conclussions too fast...but it is still pretty cool!
