"The main value of the site, at least to me, was always its user base." Absolutely. I also don't RTFA, because of the reasons that you stated. I'm guessing at this point I might RTFA 1-5% of the time.
The video ads are what I hate the most.
Autoplay was the beginning of the loss of audience for slashdot.
Exactly this. Years ago
And then load times started getting annoying. Then...Autoplay!
I have now de-selected ads.
Good answer, and sorry about the loss of a friend. While I understand his venom towards management of large corporations, I think SC is in a different league.
Good answer. Here's a fish.

... " Nobody is going to pull the feather actuator prematurely!"
And I imagine if they *called* it the "feather actuator", perhaps nobody would have done it. From the story, every reference to the switch is as a feather unlock. To me, unlock doesn't mean actuate.
I'd be curious as to what the official nomenclature for the switch is.
But knowing to not shoot selfies of yourself being a total jackass is something that can make some sense a lot earlier than 18. If some 15 year old can know enough not to drop his pants in front of his grandmother or in front of his classroom at school, he already has what it takes to know not to do it online.
Mod this up. (I've already posted in the thread, so I can't.)
Did you confront the responsible party? No? Then don't ask everyone else to fix your problem, which is with that person, not with us or the Internet.
Interesting. I had no idea the the Three Stooges' first flick "The Women Haters Club" would be so prescient.
I had to do a bit of my own research to figure out how Magnetic Resonance Angiography could be used to diss someone.
Hear hear!
Interesting, but I still don't quite have the concept. How would you use it in a car?
Perhaps that's one reason other spacecraft use names that are very specific. I always wondered why they would, say, command the pilot to "disengage the IVVIM (Intra-Vehicular Visual Illumination Mode)" instead of telling them to "turn the light out". If the unlock switch had some god-awful name describing exactly what it did, then maybe the pilot wouldn't have thought "let's unlock this now so we'll be ready".
