'Slashdot' means '/' life and its '.' period. -Slashdot means ourselves.

Are you saying, slashdot = Life [brought to] a full stop = death?

I agree that it's not very funny. Still.
Maybe /. == social death?

Sorry for the late reply, I noticed your comment last night, after I had drunk Bourbon.
As is usual we live, play, love, but it will not last forever. We are not immortal. There's a start for everything, and an end as well. I'm now 44, a season of fruition of my life, we hope our life lasts forever, but it is a dream we all cannot accomplish.
Now then Slashdot, since this journal system started just few years ago, almost all people who have been keeping their journals here are alive, but how about 50 years later, what about 100, undoubtedly almost all people who kept journals here died away.
A tiger is dead, he leaves skin. A man is dead, he leaves words. We are not immortal, but our words left here will keep on shinning over the heads of our offsprings.

Sorry for the late reply, I noticed your comment last night, after I had drunk Bourbon.I had a Lagavulin and two pints of Oyster Stout [ratebeer.com] last night, after going to a talk on Braque [wikipedia.org], and cubism.
My comment was toungue-in-cheek (hence posted without Karma), but maybe our words are semi-permanent. I have to admit, though, that I find it hard to consider the internet as being anything other than transitory. Politics becoming ever-more conservative and censorous by the day...

Real teachings are transmitted not through manuscripts but mouth-to-mouth.
Look at the examples as Buddha, Socrates, Confucious.
At the age of paper culture, it might have been a matter of luck for any manuscripts to be published and known to the world. We cannot confirm whether we've got what we couldn't get, but we can easily assume many precious, epoch-making inventions, literary works, art were lost before they were known to public. We used to live in the world a drop of bomb not only killed many people but also their works.
How about now? My writings are read immediately after I published the one, now we have countless readers around the world. Our correspondence is not only read by slashdotters but also countless unknown readers. We can say we succeeded our millennia old dream -how to prevail our knowledge, in the age of the Internet. We are all winners, not a loser, we now live in history.
