Weird to think there are now people so young in these types of discussions that wouldn't know about Slashdot.

I was only vaguely aware of Slashdot (and never had heard this effect referred to by that name), and at 30, I'm probably more than a decade older than at least someone in this thread. If you want "weird", think of the fact that a baby named after Hurricane Katrina would be old enough to vote in this year's US presidential election.

I get that all the time, as most of my collegues don't get jokes related to TV series that predate them.

I have learned to avoid such remarks, unless surrounded by 40y+ folks.

i used to browse slashdot on my amiga back in the late 90s with iBrowse. what glorious days!

Slashdot was the GOTO site in the late 90's early 00's for tech news...
