I actually enjoy Slashdot taking a day of the year out to just be silly. In past years some of the jokes have been hysterical. I enjoyed the "achievements" thing. The rot13 though is just irritating. So much fun having to paste all the summaries into my terminal so I can read them; I just love obvious repetitive tasks.

What are some other sites similar to Slashdot that I can use today (and maybe longer)?
If you want to read the stories a week before they show up on Slashdot, try Arstechnica.com
