Many people will and we're trying to stop it. Although my ID is quite high I've been here since '01 and will leave for good if that BETA junk is the new face of slashdot.

It's bad.. bad, bad. Let's stop it before it happens!

How all of the comments about Beta are being moderated to ZERO or worse since that recent story.

Stay strong people... uprate slashbeta comments despite this blatant attack on the userbase.

It's time to renounce slashdot beta and promise it will not be back. No more doublespeak.

You will learn to love beta whether you like it or not !!

Improvements cannot be made on an already broken design. Please trash it for good.

1. Einleitung Dieses HOWTO enthÃlt viele Informationen aus dem Serial HOWTO von Greg Hankins und behandelt externe und interne Modems. Bei den internen Modems liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Behandlung von ISA-Bus-Modems, obwohl das meiste auch für PCI-Bus-Modems gelten sollte. Für PCMCIA- Modems siehe das (englische) PCMCIA HOWTO: ÂPCMCIA serial and modem devicesÂ. Dieses HOWTO behandelt weder PPP (Point-To-Point Protocol, es wird verwendet, um mit Hilfe eines Modems eine Verbindung zum Internet herzustellen) noch Kommunikationsprogramme. Es erklÃrt aber, wie Kommunikationsprogramme verwendet werden, um zu testen, ob Ihr Modem korrekt funktioniert und eine Verbindung aufgebaut werden kann. Wenn Sie ein Modem verwenden mÃchten, um einen Zugang zum Internet zu bekommen, dann ist es notwendig, PPP einzurichten. Es gibt eine Menge Dokumentation über PPP (siehe z.B. im Verzeichnis /usr/doc/ppp; es gibt auch ein PPP HOWTO).

What persons are responsible for this abomination?

Slashdot Beta really stinks.. please dump the whole thing!

Anybody have a greasemonkey script that will fix the beta site? I've tried to use it but just don't like it.

I've tried it a few times and really do not like it... there is a lot of whitespace... comments don't stretch across horizontally from side to side so there's a big white empty column on the right side. Increasing the font size doesn't really do much except squeeze comments closer together in a weird way. It's not for me.

I won't have to hear parents yapping about how their child is special and needs to be protected from the rest of us. It's not us anymore.. it's them!

Maybe he's saving the good stuff 'til last.

Snowden has stated that he doesn't have the documents anymore. So it's not up to him what to save for last. IIRC three journalists have access to the full trove of documents (greenwald, poitras and someone else).
