Highlights include support for NTLM authentication, usability improvements, and lots of performance, stability, and site compatibility fixes. As always, the release notes have more detailed info on changes."

    What's the point of getting first post anyways? It's not like it give you more points or anything.

    Years ago, the comment number shown for each message (such as #5931989 for yours) used to be relative to the article, so the first post was comment #1. When Slashdot only had a few thousand registered users, getting the first post was something of a status symbol to brag about (for people with way too much time on their hands). Now, the only people getting first port are the trolls who sit around waiting for a new article to be posted just so they can post stupid crap. Slashdot also has taken steps to make first posts less attractive, by changing the comment numbering (so early posts no longer have low numbers), adding delays before comments can be posted, etc.

    "Glad somebody said it. I'm surprised Opera's not more popular around here. "

    I love it when moderators mod me as overrated when they don't like what I have to say.
