Journal Interrobang's Journal: The Incredible (Weather) Machine 3
Psychopathic fun for the whole family -- the Aim A Hurricane Game!
Try this at home, kids. There are multiple options to choose from, cheesily neat sound effects, and the graphics don't suck. Also, it's possible to arrange the high and low pressure systems and the hurricane starting point such that one can take out the entire Eastern Seaboard. *chortle*
There isn't any way to recreate Hurricane Hazel that I've found, though. What a pity...

*previewy* Ugh! Loathe the new format -- it doesn't display right on my browser and it's too fucking wide for my screen rez. Also, sans-serif fonts suck. Thanks a lot, guys. Ever heard the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?! Yeah, ok, maybe that goes against the entire tinkerer-geek mindset, which seems to be an endless round of fixin' what ain't broke (you folks need to learn to leave well enough the hell alone), but still. Maximal suckage. The "Delete"/"Enable Comments" and stuff is right over the first line of my entry. Way to go...

But it *was* broke. (Score:1)
The "old" Slashdot had nasty tables and incredibly sucky HTML code. The "new" Slashdot has less sucky HTML (it almost validates even!) and is CSS driven. The first-gen CSS iteration was intended to be a close match to the old look, but now we can write our own CSS and re-style Slashdot.
Trust me - this is better and it will get better when things have time to settle. It's a case of minimal suckage for maximal future benefits.
