One useful policy to adopt would be to include an expansion of acronyms when first used in a summary. With a link to the appropriate Wikipedia article?
One thing that shocked the shit out of me is that 25% of visitors were redirected to 'beta'. That's an incredibly large number for something so clearly unready for prime time and so clearly reviled.
I also think calling it a 'beta' was a bad joke. This thing isn't even close to feature complete (unless Dice plans on destroying a huge amount of slashdot to turn it into just another buzzfeed).
Typically I loathe soulskill's stories and his lack of editing. But I must admit that while sending some mixed messages regarding the beta, he has been, on balance, helpful. (One mixed message is his vociferous defense of the beta process. He claims that they have made substantial changes since October. When pressed, all he could cite was a minor change of the width of one css element.)
This may be the most useful response I've seen to the GOP vs. DNC votes on the Civil Rights Act meme. BTW, which Civil Rights Act? I'm assuming '64 rather than '60 or '68. (or the voting rights act of '65)
How did Kleenex® Facial Tissue get its name?
To explain how Kleenex® facial tissue got its name, it is necessary to go back to 1920 and the development of our first consumer product, Kotex® feminine napkins. Our Kotex® trademark was derived from the words "cotton texture" and met our requirements for being short, easy to say, easy to remember and easy to explain. Kleenex® tissue was originally designed in 1924 as a cold cream remover; hence, the "Kleen" portion of the word was coined to convey the cleansing purpose. We then added the "ex" from Kotex® in order to convey what was the beginning of a family of products. In 1930, the name was changed from Kleenex® Cleansing Tissue to Kleenex® Facial Tissue.
FTFA:
“When we present to FDA, it will be a slam dunk for approval,” he told Slate. “The drug has virtually no side effects, it’s very well tolerated, and if used correctly it’s awesomely effective.”
The doctor doing the research doesn't seem to share your concern.
Admitting that would mean GP couldn't engage in some anti-American douchebaggery, a very popular slashdot pasttime.
You forgot the zeroeth law: do not shine laser in remaining eye.
In 1983 T.H Bell, the Secretary of Education, proclaimed the Class of 83 as the dumbest graduating class in the history of his department. The Class of 83 is now running the local, State, and Federal government. Wow, Bell was right. They don't know science, they don't know math, they don't know civics.
On the upside, I do know that I love you

What a wonderful world this would be
Unfortunately, when they tried to leave, someone decided it would be a good thing to stop them.
Well aren't you just a speshul fucking snowflake?
No. No editing comments. There's no reason. You can post a followup if you screwed up. Permanency has value.
'Twue wuv'? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Good point. Over at deviantART, they have an official development / Beta-testing group (#devBUG) with bug-tracking database and a line to the development team (Devious Technology). Also, if you're a paying user, you can join the Beta Test program at any time in order to test out new features before they're put into general use.
Would it be so hard to have a page called "report bugs" where you can, call me crazy... report bugs?
There is simply no clear way to give feedback. At least, I haven't seen it.
I think the beta is pretty and the functionality of journals couldn't possibly be worse than it is now, so I'm hopeful.
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
