They were FIRST reported though the Guardian, but that hasn't stopped any US paper or other news outlet from covering the hell out of the story.

They're already there. You have no point.
It's not comparable. The effects of climate change advance slowly. Sure, every year more people might be exposed to storms but it takes decades for an area to become uninhabitable. It's enormously expensive and whole countries can be whittled away. Or in US terms, large portions of some states.
Radio buttons are not the right entry method for some polls.
Because (1) it's difficult since people have minds of their own and (2) management training is inadequate and fad-ridden.
Do you have another word for something that you use to get work done that's not insulting?
Because this is literally what managers do with people.
You fail to understand what managers do. Let me make it plain for you.
Engineers build things with tools. Managers do the same thing, but their tools are more complex; their tools are people.
Yeah, there is no such thing as a competent spokesperson who also knows how to write code. Because knowing how to talk to people and knowing how to program computers are mutually fucking exclusive. Basically, all coders are mentally deficient when it comes to interacting with other human beings. I'm sure that's exactly what non-coders fucking need to hear.
Apparently, the campaign was doomed from the beginning.
Huh? This page is already mostly javascript.
(function () {
if (typeof window.sdmedia !== 'object') window.sdmedia = {};
if (typeof window.sdmedia.site !== 'object') window.sdmedia.site = {};
var site = window.sdmedia.site;
site.rootdir = "//slashdot.org";
}());
var pageload = {
pagemark: '507007232917153288',

function pageload_done( $, console, maybe ){
pageload.after_readycode = (new Date).getTime();
pageload.content_ready_time = pageload.content_ready - pageload.before_content;
pageload.script_ready_time = pageload.after_readycode - pageload.content_ready;
pageload.ready_time = pageload.after_readycode - pageload.before_content;
maybe || (Math.random()>0.01) || $.ajax({ data: {
op: 'page_profile',

Can I retract my last 15 +mod points and put them all on this comment?
That's bare minimum. But the brain damage of just looking at the interface needs to be addressed. That's why I've blocked Beta at my router. I won't let my computers connect to that crap. If they change over and I still can't stand it, slashdot.org will be blocked at the router and you can count me as a former user.
It is if it drives away enough users. They're paid by ads viewed. No users --> no ads viewed --> no revenue --> everybody loses their job
But only those who signed off on redesigning the user interface in a way that users disliked deserves to lose their job (over this).
starting a new campaign: set your router to block the new site. (You can't make me use it.)
for when newer devices get damaged/broken/lost
It's just plain awful. There are may defects. Text is too large. Not enough contrast, too different from former layout, pictures are too big. Advertising is too obtrusive. Things that were on the sidebars aren't there any more. I could go on but frankly I can't stand to be on that site.
The redesign entirely loses the look and feel of slashdot. That's a barrier for people who are used to slashdot. If you want it to be accepted by the user community, you have to make it look and feel a lot more like slashdot has looked and felt for the last couple of years.
If a subordinate asks you a pertinent question, look at him as if he had lost his senses. When he looks down, paraphrase the question back at him.
