Modernizing the Save Icon?

Posted by Cliff on from the death-to-the-floppy! dept.

floppy-less asks: "In nearly every modern GUI, the floppy disk icon is used to symbolize saving files. With the fate of floppy disks becoming apparent, what will become of the esteemed 'Save to Disk' icon? Will it become a CD-R? a hard drive? a portrait of Jesus?"

  1. The truth about this campaign by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The truth about this campaign is it's a ploy by anti-slash trolls to get zealots to identify themselves by marking the user windows a foe. Windows is not part of the scheme, but because he happens to use that uid, he has become an unwilling participant in it. At the same time, anti-slash trolls have accounts accumulating karma and have a significant amount of mod points (150 or so) between the accounts at a time. These mod points will then be used to modbomb the zealots that mark windows as a foe.

    Your defense against this is to mark windows as a friend instead of as a foe.

    Remember, anti-slash does not support free speech. They exist only to bring about the destruction of the best nerd community site on the internet. Fight back by marking windows as a friend, users.pl as a foe, and re-posting this comment in reply to any comment you see suggesting that people ought to mark windows as a foe.

    Stop the next wave of anti-slash attacks in their tracks. If you thought the crapflooding was bad, they have worse things in store.
