Comment Re:Flat UI Design (Score 1) 165

I'm mixed. I prefer the glassy look of old, but at the same time I realize it takes more cpu to render it.

Well, I guess I'd rather have that little bit of cpu doing work for me rather than generating a pretty glassy look, I guess I'm in favor of it.

The fact that you think "most of the decisions are made by architects as oppose to developers" is not a good thing demonstrates that you have not matured enough to understand why.

Stay where you're at and once you learn why "most of the decisions are made by architects as oppose to developers", then look elsewhere.

I'm not saying this to bust on you really, but architects really do serve a valuable role.

I do get news from slashdot. I don't get coverage on science, tech, linux, etc. on the nightly news or by surfing tons of websites. I get it here. News may be dated, certainly, but for me it's a great place to find things I wouldn't otherwise find. And no, I don't come here for comments. Sometimes I'll read comments in stories to find out how others feel, but only for say 10% of the stories...

Comment Evidence of not listening: (Score 1) 2219

Timothy: "Some of you have suggested we're not listening; on the contrary, some of us are 'listening' pretty much full-time." So Timothy, et al: "we want a platform where we can experiment with different views of both comments and stories. It's not an either/or. It's going to be both." I think overwhelmingly people have indicated they do not want to see stories and comments on the same page. I frankly could care less what the trolls post on every single story. If there's a story I like and want to see the comments on, I can click into it and read all I want. But I don't need and/or want them on the list page. Back on point, many folks have echoed the same perspective, yet you're still plowing forward with "it's going to be both." So either you are not listening, or far worse, you don't care what we're saying. In any case, I think you're now bordering on the point of "jumping the shark". Continue at your own peril, but in order to appease a few in order to deliver a shiny new interface will just send the bulk of us to some other sites.

Comment Dice, throw some cash my way... (Score 1) 1191

So Dice likes to buy something, rework it into a steaming pile of shit, and lose traffic/revenue as a result, thus totally devaluating an asset?

If they like throwing money away, have them throw some cash my way. I too will not generate any traffic and revenue for you, and I'm a lot cheaper than what you paid for the "redesign".

Submission + - Why does Slashdot now hate Firefox? 1

dnebin writes: Slashdot now seems to hate Firefox. Javascript is broken, requiring double clicks on things in Firefox that work correctly in other browsers. And it's been that way for some time now; it is not like these problems were introduced yesterday and I'm now complaining. So I'm forced to ask, why does Slashdot now hate Firefox?

Comment I don't buy it... (Score 1) 366

The reason - my galaxy S. It's an android-based phone, but it has this big 'bing' page and bing is set as the default search engine. I've looked for how to change to google, but it doesn't seem to be that easy...

So if my device is included in their percentage, it's not because I want to be there...
