Slashdot bans O'Reilly Emerging Tech!

As with last year, Slashdot's RSS server has banned the entire O'Reilly Emerging Technology conference from pulling its RSS feeds. There are about 400 geeks here running RSS readers that are pulling Slashdot's feed from behind the same IP address, as Slashdot's systems have interpreted this as one user repeatedly reloading it. Dear Slashdot admins: please fix! Thenkyew.

Update: Emmanuel sez, "Here is the Slashdot feed preview from Bloglines."

Update 2: Gavin points us to the Alterslash RSS feed, which "adds in the fulltext of all the articles, and the top comments on each."

Cory Doctorow
