Icy-Flo - The solution to this summer's heat

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the keeping-it-cool-when-the-lights-are-up dept.

Steve Kerrison writes "Desperate times call for desperate measures, but I'd like to think of this as more of an exercise in cunning. It's hot, but I'm not, thanks to an Icy-Box and a Panaflo. This was nearly categorised as hardware hacking, but then the only 'hacking' required was the removal of four thumb-screws."

    Any way we can moderate this entire story into the "-1!!1111!uno!!, Stupid" category?

    Seriously. Did anyone read this before they posted it? This article is so bad, it hurts.

    Now that we have solved the biggest problem facing /. (mainly how ugly it was), can we work on the remaining problems?

    Editors, you really need to weed out stuff like this.

    How do I change this new butt-ugly Slashdot GUI?

    Easy, but not as easy as it should be. Login, click on your id at the upper left. When that page appears, click on the Homepage link. This will bring up a page of settings. Check the Simple Design and Low Bandwidth widgets. Maybe look over the other settings. Push the Save button at the bottom.

    Also, if you're using mozilla or firefox or seamonkey, you can tell it to ignore images from slashdot.org, which gets rid of most of the eye candy and some of the ads. There seems to be no information in any of /.'s imagery, so you won't miss anything. You can also find your browser's color and font config stuff, and tell it to override pages' colors and fonts and use yours.

    Now you have a readable, plain-text edition of /.. The only remaining problem is the ads, but turning off all that noise is a longer essay. It helps a lot to find a way of blocking flash and javascript, and other "active" stuff with whatever browser you're using.

    Now back to the topic ...

  6. Why can't we Mod submissions? by wyoung76 · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Or is this what the tags feature is supposed to allow us to do?

    I can't believe I wasted time looking at this. At least give us something to justify this...
