The RSS permathread makes it to slashdot

The RSS perma-thread (otherwise known as "help, no bandwidth is left!") has found its way to slashdot:

"As RSS is becoming more known to the mainstream users and press, the bandwidth issue reported by many sites (Eweek, CNet, InternetNews) related to feeds is becoming a reality. Stats from sites like Boing Boing are showing a real concern regarding feeds bandwidth usage. Possible solutions to this problem are emerging slowly, like RSScache (feed caching proxy) and KnowNow (even-driven syndication). RSScache seems to offer a realistic solution to the problem, but can this be enough to help RSS as it reaches an even bigger user base in the upcoming year?"

Apparently, the work done by popular sites like Yahoo, Google (etc) can't be applied, due to the different spelling of the acronym...
