Me neither.

What banner ads? Between directly supporting /. and Adblock, I don't see any. Of course since I'm paying them, I do have some expectation of professionalism. This seems like the sort of thing the sainted Commander Taco himself would have done, up to a point, except I'm not sure the saint himself would have been as patient and understanding of the asshattery I've seen in this thread.

I think you meant:

I want *blood* because the site which I use regularly but don't pay money for doesn't meet my exacting standards

To which I'd say: I actually do pay. I've supported /. directly for years. I do expect a certain level of professionalism and editorial freedom from them, not only because that's what I pay for, but because that's the honorable thing to do.

With that said, I don't think SK is being unprofessional or unreasonable. I think that the concern that dice might hurt what is good about /. is a legitimate one, but not necessarily one I'd consider supported by this single instance of a delay.

If you actually meant to say that people who are paying money don't deserve to get what they paid for, then I'm very confused by your post.

Why would this device not just adjust your glucose levels during the bike ride? I am pretty sure that is exactly what it would do in that situation.

I get the feeling someone did not RTFA.

When has it ever been any different?

I certainly can't argue with that, there were indeed.

Yeah. It's sad really. I wanted to love our dice overlords. I even wanted to give the new interface a chance (while hedging my bets with soylentnews) ... even when the new interface screwed up my editing and viewing options. I really wanted to give the site I've loved for so many years a chance.

So now I need to find a new site. I've looked and so far, I haven't been able to find a great option.

I agree he doesn't belong on that list. I do think on the list of America's worst presidents, he'd be at the top of the list.

Ignored warnings from the previous administration, top FBI officials ignored field agents who were warning of something bad, and got our country attacked.

Then he started an incredibly stupid war in Iraq, which led to the rise of ISIS.

Presided over the building of mass surveillance of the American people.

Took office during a boom, left office under the worst economy since the great depression. It's my theory that what caused the ruined economy was fuel prices more than quadrupling during his reign. Buy gas to get to work, or pay the mortgage? Tough choice!

Took office with a balanced budget, left it with the largest deficit in American history. Meanwhile, infrastructure was crumbling and he did nothing.

Now, if the list was of people who did the most harm to our country, he should be on that list. Mao and Pol Pot were very evil men who killed millions of people, but they didn't harm America.

No, it's something slashdot did, since I never had the scroll before and didn't change any settings.

Ever since they changed it so I have a goddamned horizontal scroll (are they on crack?) I've only come by occasionally to look at journals.

Look, Dumbass Holdings Idiots, there's no reason whatever short of GROSS incompetence to introduce a horizontal scroll on a widescreen format notebook!! I'm all for hiring the handicapped, but you don't hire Ray Charles to be a bus driver and you don't hire the educationally handicapped to code...

Although I suspect it may be retarded PHBs than retarded coders. Someone is obviously VERY stupid. The idiotic mistakes I see should NOT happen at a so-called "nerd" site.

If you do that you have to double the used web space, and that can be expensive. I'm already almost at the upper limit for my site and will have to go to the next tier of hosting soon. As it is, only three of the well over a hundred pages on my site need a special mobile version, and I would imagine a lot of other folks are the same way.

Having it first look for m.sitename, falling back to mobile.html if it exists and m.sitename doesn't, then index.html if there are neither m.sitename or mobile.html might be a good idea, though.

I'd be preaching what I don't practice; my favorite phone was the Razr. Tiny thing. Big phones are fine for those who carry purses, but mine stays in my pocket. The one I have now is about as big as I can stand.

I'm about to post a journal with a suggestion for the W3C and mobile browser makers.

It should work. I don't see how it would mess up the charging circuit unless that circuit was poorly designed. It's the same as a TV degausser.

My day was a lineman working around AC at 90,000 volts. If he wore an analog (wind up) watch to work the watch would get magnetized by those high strength magnetic fields and stop working. He probably could have fixed the watches the same way.
