My only problem with the new theme was the tabs on top and the status bar disappearing. Why are they so adamant about tabs on top anyway, who cares where we put them? For me I just prefer it that way. Classic theme restorer works well for this one feature. But that's two add-ons I have needed to restore functionality now. Will see what it does to performance.

You shouldn't have to lock your data down. I can see GPL'd code and can use it and distribute it but I can't close source it and then resell it as a proprietary app and then say "hey if you didn't want me to use it you shouldn'thave made it available". That is the license we agree to. A clear license lines out acceptable use and it looks to me like they are trying to strike a balance between being solvent and user friendly. But freeloaders will ruin it for others.

that's not how slashdot works. This is a truly free speech zone. That's what moderation is for. It buries but never deletes which is a much better system. For those who truly want to read everything set to -1 and fill your boots. For the rest of us set it from 1 to 5 as per your own preference and you can avoid reading totally horrible stuff.

Comment Get off my lawn time.. (Score 3, Interesting) 61

Can't anybody just let life happen anymore? No more spontaneous meetups, no more random happenings. Everything orderly, predictable and uploadable for facebook to make money with. I'm no luddite, I spend a good amount of my life working with and using technology, but stuff like this? I guess this is where I diverge from the younger generation. To each his own I guess. Don't mean to come down as judgmental or anything, I would like to hear the other side and how this stuff actually makes life better.
