 | | Additionally, OS results may be skewed by the fact that many Slashdot users access the site from work, and only use Linux on their home computers. | | | While Slashdot's core audiences are often said to consist of Linux enthusiasts and various other enthusiasts of the open source software movement, there is a significant Windows audience as well. | | | A poll on Slashdot suggests that approximately half of all Slashdot visitors use a Microsoft Windows operating system, a third use some form of Linux, and above ten percent use Mac OS X. Polls on Slashdot, like most on the Internet, are notoriously unreliable. |

| | Internet troll: Information From Answers.com |
| | Some behaviors, such as "name-calling" are not candidates for a "troll" classification unless their intent is to provoke a reaction, as "name-calling" could be considered more anti-social, perhaps falling under the classification of "flamer" instead. | | | One early reference to "troll" found in the Google Usenet archive was by user "Mark Miller", directed toward the user, "Tad", on February 8, 1990 [1]. | | | Trolls may also provide a valuable service by making people question the validity of what is read both on the Internet, and from other sources. |

| | Talk:Slashdot trolling phenomena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | I consider it highly unlikely that Slashdot is the source; Smirnoff himself is a much more likely source. | | | I have spent many, many hours reading slashdot at -1, so I know a bit about slashdot trolling. | | | Great work - the current format is getting unwieldy, with the slashdot refs at the bottom of the page - it probably needs reintegrating, so that people who want to see an example of the troll can do it easily - any ideas? |

| | Slashdot effect |
| | The Slashdot effect is a huge influx of Internet traffic to a website as a result of its being mentioned on Slashdot, a popular technology news and information site. | | | However, while a denial of service attack is a deliberate, malicious onslaught aimed at damaging computer systems and harming the victim's livelihood, the Slashdot effect has been an unintended consequence of Slashdot's popularity that usually subsides fairly quickly. | | | While this would normally be considered a good thing, it is generally viewed with disdain by the prior members, as quite often the sheer number of new people brings a lot of the unwanted aspects of Slashdot along with it, such as incessant trolling, vandalism, and newbie-like behavior (See Slashdot trolling phenomena). |
