Don't mind him. Just sounds jealous to me and didn't realize there was other good opportunities outside his myopic bubble.

That's because this site is just designed to feed clicks to their real bread and butter. Now keep clicking over there peon.

My emphasis. This is exactly what the OP is running into and he/she sounds like a buggy manufacturer in the age of automobiles. However, at least they recognize they need to finally learn some new tools after becoming too expensive for their clients if they want to stay in business. Hence the lazy Ask Slashdot question. I say "lazy" because they just need to do their homework since only they know what their needs are.

You can't get modded into oblivion on 4chin, just drowned out by the sea of other people shitposting. It's more like the old days of /. where everyone browsed at 0 with the GNAA, hot grits, goatse, etc. except turned up >11.

FYI Mods, parent is not a troll, just European (Scandinavian I assume).

Yes, Beta looks like ass. However, I serendipitously discovered recently that Beta is the only way to view slashdot on my mobile and for some reason it browses comments at 0 or below. The "happy" consequence of that is that I got to see more of the trolls than I'm accustomed to on the classic site through my computer, and I didn't know the goatse and gnaa trolls were still around. That fondly reminded me of the good-old days of shitdot.

This guy looks like they're on to something.

tldr;

Surely something could be done with GreaseMonkey, but /. should just fix their site so we don't have to install extra crap to make it usable.

I could tell when there was no discernible link to news in the frontpage 'story', and it had the ominous 'Read on for the rest'.

Hey Bennett! Can you tell us the pricing terms to use /. for your own personal blog? I might want to get in on the action.

Why is this modded informative? It is neither informative or even interesting. I guess mods are back on crack like the good old days.

What's your point? How many assassinations, or attempted assassinations, have recent leaders of Germany experienced?

From TFS: "Batman: The Animated Series", so yes.

This is a very good point and excellent support for your point is the experience Google had with Sun Microsystems and now Oracle regarding the Android/Java technology. Last I heard Oracle had won the argument that an API is copyrightable in front of a judge and that Google owes them money; it must be in appeal because I didn't recall hearing that Google actually paid out yet. A key difference, of course, is that this is patents and Oracle was mostly arguing copyright I believe. And I believe Google's main defense was that the last CEO at Sun supported their usage (notwithstanding the fact that an API should NOT be copyrightable to begin with!).
