Slashdot is the community. Finally the community can have control. Soylentnews.org needs you!

I usually read and post as AC - daily. I have not logged into my slashdot account for several years but so as not to be ignored as an AC I have logged in to say that I will also be leaving slashdot if the beta is forced on us. The comment system is entirely broken and javascript is required just to read the site, ffs. I don't do things that way. If the community breaks up there is no point in staying because I'm only here for the community. Time to fork. altslashdot.org needs temporary hosting. If slashdot goes beta the community that took a decade to build up will be lost. It will take years to build another collection of such experts - if ever. We need to move before we bleed to death. Please, we need a benefactor to host a forked slashcode while it gets off the ground. Please come and discuss at altslashdot.

Well, there is bestcrypt which will do that for Windows and Linux. Source available for Linux but not free. http://www.jetico.com/download.htm
