Slashdot Mirror
FTC Shuts Down Calif. ISP For Botnets, Child Porn
An anonymous reader writes "The Federal Trade Commission has convinced a federal judge to pull the plug on a 3FN.net, a.k.a. 'Pricewert LLC,' a Northern California based hosting provider. The FTC alleges that 3FN/Pricewert was directly involved in setting up spam-spewing botnets, among other illegal activities, the Washington Post's Security Fix Blog writes. From the story: 'Pricewert hosts very little legitimate content and vast quantities of illegal, malicious, and harmful content, including child pornography, botnet command and control servers, spyware, viruses, trojans, phishing related sites, illegal online pharmacies, investment and other Web-based scams, and pornography featuring violence, bestiality, and incest.' The story quotes a former Justice Dept. expert saying the FTC action may be a smoke screen for a larger criminal investigation by the federal government in 3FN's activities."
Being that slashdot looks and acts differently in Chrome, Firefox and IE, could someone please tell which damn browser slashdot has decided to target so that I know which one is most likely to actually work when I click something.
As a second note, do you think it would be possible to roll your new changes out to something other than front page articles until you actually get them working properly?

Just try getting that asinine slide-bar to show ALL posts. No can do, because the script kiddies coding it up are too stupid to handle boundary conditions properly.
You used to be able to scroll the bar all the way over when the button to move it to the top middle also worked properly. Now when you hit that button in the top right it just gives it a border and nothing else.
Before, you used to be able to enter your login information with a reply when you are not logged in. Now, it just gives you a link above your reply section to "log in now" and when you click on that it takes you to a different page and when you finish logging in it takes you back to the main page and you have officially lost the post that you intending to reply to.
This is long and far the most annoying thing about new slashdot. Frequently I just don't even post a reply that I may otherwise want to. Or I post as Anonymous Coward, as I'm going to do right now.

Way too much of Slashdot 2.0 seems to be designed by people who only use/test slashdot in one specific manner. Its as if they've forgotten that there are many ways to skin a cat.
