I used to drive a Saab 9-3. When GM took over, I did not buy another Saab, because I did not like what they did to the brand. I held onto it for as long as I could, then changed brands entirely. GM will never get my money specifically because of what they did to Saab.

The same will happen here. If at some point I can't get Slashdot without it looking more or less like Beta does, I'm probably just going to stop bothering with the site altogether. Lose the pictures. Don't make me click "more" to RTFA. Use the whole screen for content; if I want a big margin, I can resize my browser.

Mandatory titles on replies and random ACs when I used to read at +4? I'm not sure what improvements they think happened, but so far, no thanks.

BT Silences Customers Over Phorm 196

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday November 22, 2008 @01:06AM from the lalala-i-can't-hear-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Register reports that BT, the UK's dominant telecom and internet service provider, has 'banned all future discussion of Phorm and its "WebWise" targeted advertising product on its customer forums, and deleted all past threads about the controversy dating back to February.' Phorm is a controversial opt-out system for delivering targeted advertising that intercepts traffic passing through an ISP in order to profile subscribers via an assigned unique ID based on their online activities. Subscribers can opt-out at the Webwise website but are opted-in again if the Phorm cookie is cleared. Firefox users can install Melvin Sage's Firephorm add-on to manage their interaction with Phorm and Webwise."

I'm a lot happier with two computers. Mac for email/iTunes/web/irc/ircd/etc, Windows box for games. That way, whatever happens to the gaming box does not affect anything important. No way would I want to have to reboot to play a game. Plus, a bunch of people would wonder where their irc server went.. :)

The only reason I'd run Windows on a PPC box would be if it made a better gaming platform.
