Has anyone got a working feed for Slashdot.org?

http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot

It gives out recursion errors if I just paste the feed in. I've figured out that it's probably because it's using the <link> attribute in the feed, whereas if it just pulled out the <rdf:li rdf:resource= *whatever* /> tag which has the direct URLs in at the top, or the <item rdf:about="whatever"> attribute from the actual item entry section - or even <feedburnerrigLink>, all of those go straight to the story page without any URL changing nonsense. Unfortuntely, I have no idea how to tell Calibre to do that, the best I can manage is replacing bits of the URL. Help, please? =/

EDIT: I should note I'd like the entire page including comments, not just the actual news post. Who reads /. for the articles, after all?

EDIT 2: I think I got the right URLS in but it's only getting 5 of them, not all 15, and it's freezing after hitting recursion limits on those 5. Anyone?

EDIT 3: OK, I've got this far, and it is pulling out the correct links. Anyone got any idea what's going wrong?
