AL (LOOKS UPWARD) Oh, dad. Look. I'm sitting on a Ferguson of my own. Just like you knew I would.

PEGGY (BEAT) Remember this at the trial, kids.

Because the 30 minute *cha-ching!* window was making the corporate overlords and their shareholders cream their jeans?

Oh, come on! Mod this up!

External WIFI router and a Faraday cage. Just when you thought Comcast couldn't be more evil. Bam! F-you Comcast.

How should people voice their displeasure with the potential death of Slashdot?

This has me stumped too. Dice obviously doesn't give a fuck about our family. The current Slashdot without the beta has more value than they could possibly understand, and they are going to flush it down the toilet so they can pursue their "vision" of caching in on the Slashdot name. Which won't make them money like they think it will. Sad, indeed.

Mod me down too. It really doesn't matter any more.

in Slashdot history, comments about the story are the ones that are offtopic. They may not be modded that way, but I find myself skipping them. Is it really that difficult to keep classic in addition to beta? You have a lot of loyal, intelligent people here. Why give them the finger?

that the motto for Slashdot should be changed from the beloved "News for nerds, stuff that matters" to "FUCK YOU, THAT'S WHY"

So, Slashdot beta == Rancid Breasts. Sounds about right. I make the same face when I think of either one.

Dear Slashdot,

It's never too late to do the right thing. Please reconsider killing classic. It's instantly recognizable as Slashdot. A "trademark" of Slashdot if you will. It is a big reason why people come here to comment and lurk. It is loved. FFS, beta is the New Coke!

I think it was tux racer.

lol. I've been a lurker since KDE3 first went stable. I heard about slashdot from a banner in tux racer. I just recently created a profile. This whole thing feels a bit like when KDE4 came out and they threw KDE3 into the garbage can. Even though KDE4 was hardly a replacement at the time.

Remember kids, newer is ALWAYS better. If you are old, you should kill yourself now.

Now that's sarcasm!

Fuck you, slashdot, for taking away classic.

I wasn't aware of that project. I guess if you could nuke the OS that comes with it, it would be kind of cool.
