    Slashdot (sometimes abbreviated as /.) is a news website that originally billed itself as "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters". It features news stories on science and technology that are submitted and evaluated by its users. Each story has a comments section attached to it.

    Slashdot was founded in 1997 by Hope College student Rob Malda, also known as "Commander Taco", and classmate Jeff Bates, also known as "Hemos". It was acquired by DHI Group, Inc. (i.e., Dice Holdings International, which created the Dice.com website for tech job seekers.)

    Summaries of stories and links to news articles are submitted by Slashdot's own readers, and each story becomes the topic of a threaded discussion among users. Discussion is moderated by a user-based moderation system. Randomly selected moderators are assigned points (typically 5) which they can use to rate a comment. Moderation applies either -1 or +1 to the current rating, based on whether the comment is perceived as either "normal", "offtopic", "insightful", "redundant", "interesting", or "troll" (among others). The site's comment and moderation system is administered by its own open source content management system, Slash, which is available under the GNU General Public License.

    Slash (punctuation)

    The slash (US) or stroke (UK), formally the solidus (/), is an oblique slanting line used as a punctuation mark and for various other purposes. It has several other historical or technical names.

    History

    Slashes may be found in early writing as a variant form of dashes, vertical strokes, &c. The present use of a slash distinguished from such other marks derives from the medieval European virgule (Latin: virgula, lit. "twig"), which was used as a period, scratch comma, and caesura mark. The Fraktur script used throughout Central Europe in the early modern period used a single slash as a scratch comma and a double slash (//) as a dash. The scratch comma was eventually shortened into the modern comma ,, while the double dash developed into the double oblique hyphen and double hyphen or before being usually simplified into various single dashes.

    Usage

    Conjunction

    Connecting alternatives

    The slash is commonly used in many languages as a shorter substitute for the conjunction "or", typically with the sense of exclusive or (e.g., the option Y/N permits yes or no but not both).

    So nice to see your face again
    Tell me how long has it been
    Since you've been here
    (since you've been here)
    You look so different than before
    But still the person I adore
    Frozen with fear
    I'm out of love but I'll take it from the past
    I'll let out words 'cause I'm sure It'll never last
    And I've been saving
    These last words for one last miracle
    But now I'm not sure
    I can't save you if
    You don't let me
    You just get me like I never
    Been gotten before
    Maybe it's the bitter wind
    A chill from the Pacific rim
    That brought you this way
    (that brought you my way)
    Do not make me think of him
    The way he touched your fragile skin
    That hunts me everyday
    I'm out of love but I can't forget the past
    I'm out of words but I'm sure it'll never last
    And I've been saving
    These last words for one last miracle
    But now I'm not sure
    I can't save you if
    You don't let me
    You just get me like I never
    Been gotten before
    Like I never been gotten before
    So nice to see your face again
    But tell me will this ever end?
    Don't disappear
    And I've been saving
    These last words for one last miracle
    But now I'm not sure
    I can't save you if
    You don't let me
    You just get me like I never
    Been gotten before
