Also there isa  extremely success high rate of Slashdot articles that
ends witha a question. Such as "Will squatted hackerspaces survive
eviction?" or "How can Hackerspaces keep the rent to a minimum without
getting in trouble?", "Are there room in major cities for
Hackerspaces?" (mind you that LA does not have a hackerspace)

It must be an opening for trolls etc to get highly rated and make it
to the frontpage.
Examples: "Will Books Be Napsterized?", "Do Retailers Often Screen
User Reviews?"
