I like slashdot exactly because it points me to all sorts of things I'd
never otherwise see. I scan for something that interests me, read up,
follow the links. The general topics do address several areas of
interest for me (intellectual property and freedom, at the top of the
list). Lately I've been taking a wireless networking class and slashdot
has given me some good additional resources.
The problem is if you read the comments to the stories: one needs pounds
of salt to wade through all the uninformed postings. It would be very
easy to become seriously ill-informed.

<snip>The people in my crowd tend to pooh-pooh anything from Slashdot,
aside from the occasional reference to other material and its amusement
value. Does anyone here actually find Slashdot useful for
information?</snip>
