Not certain this is the sort of hting you were looking for, but it is a good place for *newbies* to get thier feet wet <g> www.pinehead.com seems to be at least semi acurate, which for any new site seems to be all one can ask. EVen "hard news" sites are hoaxed regualrly, or they just get it wrong. posibly because humans are involved in the editing . Blondely, j afterthought What makes Teflon stick to the pan?

Good day,

I know this may not be the place, but I have found Slashdot to be one of the worst places of information or news for anyone. Especially for Linux newbies...

Unfortuantly I see a lot of mis-information or mis-understanding on there.

My question is:

What do people use for news concerning Tech news that is accurate? I know I use newsforge and linuxtoday, is there anymore?

Matt

I think you've hit the top two. I browse SlashDot for the science stories. Reading the comments is an exercise is wadding through the sewers. The signal/noise ration is extremely low. SlashDot will have to begin moderating their site or risk losing their image. It's already tarnished. jlk

-- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.
