Then again, some of those "robot" gizmos that wiggle around are pure genius

No, but it appears to be a frangible item.

Agreed -- see my .sig line.

*Obviously* nobody on /. uses unicode for our comments, so that would be an entire waste of time, implementing that. It's not like we're in the 21st century or anything...

Fuck unicode. It's a passing fad.

But seriously, unicode support should have been implemented years ago. Slashdot is a dinosaur in this respect.

Thank you!! That fixed it.

However, doing so was a real pain in the ass since I have a tiny netbook and the user options "overlay-dialog" shit was nearly impossible to use. Ironically I needed to the un-check "small screen" option which was needlessly difficult because said dialog box wouldn't fit on the damn screen. Why even have a small screen option?!

Alright. Done complaining, save for that in my .sig which I'm not going to attempt to fix until I get a bigger screen or the admins fix these weird layout issues...

Incidentally, I haven't posted many comments recently, and this new posting system is nicer than the last.

This is a totally off-topic meta-post, but I'm tagging on a top comment anyway...

Is it just my browser, or is the ./ layout radically different all of a sudden? I seem to have lost the sidebars and slashboxes on the front page and the comments are spanning the width of the screen instead of the normal layout. I haven't changed anything myself far as I can tell.

I wouldn't. She might actually win.

Oh the irony.

Wait, this is irony, isn't it?

Until it's your father telling you this during the ambulance ride to the hospital... Interesting, perhaps, but not *twitter* interesting.

To be clear, some other book. Or at least not a "Discovery Productions" book.

No, that would be the "anti-slash jihad"

Or, yes for that matter.
