Slashdot and SourceForge sold to Dice Holdings
According to TechCrunch, they are on track to do $5 MM in EBITDA, so they have about $15 MM in annual operating costs (before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization). This means that Dice paid about 4x operating profits.

$20m is the price you would expect. Rule of thumb is 3 years earnings + a little extra for goodwill/brand name/human capital.
