Comment I don't like the beta. Current 1 is more effective (Score 2) 1191

by tecnico (#45008725) Attached to: Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta)

I like the current design compared to the beta. It has better contrast that help me do a quick glance and pick the headlines fast enough, I can also read more stories and comments. The beta makes Slashdot look like another mashable with stuff all over. If you want to change, better lead with something innovative rather than following the herd.

Scientists Cut Greenland Ice Loss Estimate By Half 414

Posted by samzenpus from the not-so-bad-after-all dept.
bonch writes "A new study on Greenland's and West Antarctica's rate of ice loss halves the estimate of ice loss. Published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the study takes into account a rebounding of the Earth's crust called glacial isostatic adjustment, a continuing rise of the crust after being smashed under the weight of the Ice Age. 'We have concluded that the Greenland and West Antarctica ice caps are melting at approximately half the speed originally predicted,' said researcher Bert Vermeeersen."

Google Street View Shoots the Same Woman 43 Times 106

Posted by samzenpus from the get-your-face-out-there dept.
Geoffrey.landis writes "Terry Southgate discovered that his wife Wendy appears on the Google Street View of his neighborhood not once or twice but a whopping 43 times. From the article: 'It seems as if the Street View car simply followed the same route as Wendy and Trixie. However, Wendy was a little suspicious that the car was doing something on the "tricksie" side. Several of the Street View shots show Wendy looking with some concern towards the car that was, well, to put it politely, crawling along the curb. "I didn't know what it was doing. It was just driving round very, very slowly," Wendy told the Sun.' The next best thing to being a movie star — a Street View star!"
