Strictly speaking a dot is the smallest spot an imagesetter, or printer can output and is usually expressed in dots per inch (dpi). However the term dot is often used interchangeably with Pixels (ppi) or Halftone Cells (lpi or L/S). An imagesetter dot is of a specific and unvarying size. A 300dpi laser printer can only make dots that are 1/300 of an inch in diameter. To make a bigger spot it uses several dots. On the other hand, a halftone dot varies in size in order to simulate continuous tone. (see: Halftone)

Slashdot (sometimes abbreviated as /.) is a technology-related news website owned by Geeknet, Inc. The site, which bills itself as "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters", features user-submitted and -evaluated current affairs news stories about science- and technology-related topics. Each story has a comments section attached to it. Slashdot was founded in 1997 as a blog, Chips & Dips, by Hope College computer science student Rob Malda, also known as "Commander Taco" and classmate Jeff Bates, also known as "Hemos". The name "Slashdot" is described by Malda as "a sort of obnoxious parody of a URL", chosen to confuse those who tried to pronounce the URL of the site ("h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash-slashdot-dot-org").
