In other news, Slashdot has decided to get rid of the commenting system, noting that most comments are not informative, and only serve to derail the important points with discussions of overlords, hot grits, and first posts. Instead, only the Slashdot team will be able to comment, limited to which "dept" the story came from.
The change on slashdot was well received according to the poll asking about it. The one choice, Cowboy Neal, which was explained to mean "yes", was the overwhelming choice by voters. The change is expected to make it easier on new users.

I haven't intentionally read the front page in years. Unintentionally (after a login, or on the way to the JE link), maybe 5 times?

Just reread the comments from the lat time i complained about the JE redesign. The old page is still available.
My complaint still stands though. Seriously, it refuses to sit. I yelled at it twenty-five times already. I guess not previously being known by any other name means it has no (k)nees.

Wow, pretty bad.
