Museum Helps Domesday Reloaded Project
purehavnet writes "For many months the volunteers at the Centre for Computing History have been working on capturing and preserving the data from the BBC Domesday System. A complete set of data from the community disc was supplied to the BBC, who have now released the Domesday Reloaded project. This allows most of the community data from the original system to be viewed online."
OK, this thing with the half-shown posts is just about the last straw. For all the years that people have been talking about software design and Web design, isn't there one single developer who actually looks at the results before they push a new CSS file out to the live Slashdot site?
I mean, for fuck's sake, it was bad enough when they went to the new design, and you couldn't click on a Reply link without it expanding the parent... then trying again and it would expand the grandparent... then trying again and again and again, and eventually it would let you actually click on the link you wanted to click on.
It was bad enough when the CSS varied from topic to topic, so when you wanted to post a reply on something about, say, games, the UI would work differently than for other topics (maybe the text would be too small to read, for example).
No, now they've figured out a way so that you can't actually read the text of any of the posts, because they all overlap and you can only see the first three pixels or so of any line.
Congratulations, /. wizards! How the fuck you get paid for a living should be an inspiration to anyone who's on their third beer at eight in the morning.
Breakfast served all day!
... instead of being left with the result of a liberal left wing teaching establishment that has increasingly let kids run riot over the last few decades culminating with headmasters being stabbed outside his own school. Of course if anyone ever criticised this politically correct insanity you instantly they were instantly labelled as some kind of ranting right wing child abuser who wanted to go back to the days of kids up chimneys. Rational discussion was off the table and the inmates have taken over the asylum. Hopefully one day people will wake up to the collective insanity of the liberal agenda but I won't hold my breath.
