DHI Inc (Dice Holdings) has sold [dhigroupinc.com] the once-venerable Slashdot [slashdot.org] and SourceForge [sourceforge.net] sites to BIZX, a tourism and VoIP website media company. [bizx.info] The price for the sites was not announced. In 2012, Dice Holdings paid $20 million dollars for Slashdot, SourceForge, and the now-defunct Freecode (formerly Freshmeat). Other sites from BIZX include Wirefly [wirefly.com], MyRatePlan [myrateplan.com], VoIPReview [voipreview.org], and VoIP-Info [voip-info.org].
On Twitter, founder and former owner of Slashdot Rob 'CmdrTaco' Malda posted [twitter.com] "The rumor is that the entire Slashdot staff has been let go except for the lucky few that get to train their replacements!"
You should emulate your heros, but don't carry it too far. Especially
