The State of Slashdot: Https, Poll Changes, Auto-Refresh, Videos, and More

As of yesterday, Slashdot now serves over https. In addition, the polls have been moved exclusively to the right rail, and will not show up with the other stories any longer. We've also disabled auto-refresh, and fixed various issues with search and other features. In the last few weeks, we've also discontinued videos, and removed the "Jobs" section of the site. You can follow all of the changes on the Slashdot blog.

For some values of all and for some definitions of pay. Otherwise, yes. :)

Thanks

Now I can finally remove the [FUCK BETA] tag from my sig. Took only two years, but better late than never! :)

I use sco.com. Might as well make the litigious bastards do SOMETHING useful...

Well, someone probably could complain about auto-refresh, though I personally found it a silly waste of the servers' resources.

My biggest complaint is that the green color used in the header bars clashes with the curtains in my office.
