Please use real dates and times, not this "Two days ago" stuff.

I block slashdot's style sheets because I do not like the current layout. Fixed widths are evil. I set my browser window at a width that is comfortable for me to read. In the new layout, the right-hand column takes up too much room if viewing full-screen.

I agree with earlier observations about the new comments page: it is difficult to determine the level of indentation.

The version of the home page with big pictures is disastrous, IMO. The graphics take up more room than the stories!

Submission + - Do the blind deserve more effort on the Web? (computerworld.com) 4

dratcw writes: "An article posted today about the "maddening" frustrations faced by blind people struggling to use the Web and other computer systems shows how little progress has been made and the inadequacy of solutions such as Microsoft's Narrator screen reader. While the article generated many positive comments, one reader said the disabled should "get a grip" and maintained they "have no more right to demand that others provide for their needs than I, as a diabetic, have a right to demand that sugar no longer be used." Should Web sites and software makers do more, or does the reality of today's economics dictate that the blind/disabled will continue to struggle and learn to live with it?"
