On February 5, 2014, Slashdot announced through a javascript popup that they are starting to "move in to" the new Slashdot Beta design.
Slashdot Beta is a trend-following attempt to give Slashdot a fresh look, an approach that has led to less space for text and an abandonment of the traditional Slashdot look. Much worse than that, Slashdot Beta fundamentally breaks the classic Slashdot discussion and moderation system.
If you haven't seen Slashdot Beta already, open this [slashdot.org] in a new tab. After seeing that, click here [slashdot.org] to return to classic Slashdot.
We should boycott stories and only discuss the abomination that is Slashdot Beta until Dice abandons the project.
We should boycott slashdot entirely during the week of Feb 10 to Feb 17 as part of the wider slashcott [slashdot.org]
Moderators - only spend mod points on comments that discuss Beta
Commentors - only discuss the Beta - Vote up the Fuck Beta stories
Keep this up for a few days and we may finally get the PHBs attention.

I miss being able to use Opera to grab torrents when I needed to do that. The latest version of Opera also removed bookmarks which was amazing to me. Finally ditched Opera and mostly use Firefox, again.
Atleast it won't be locked at 30fps, aside from the games seemingly engineered for a console and still locked at 30fps on a PC, but other games won't be locked at 30fps!
Install a router, or something running something like tomato, that can run a composite block-list that is automatically updated. Sure they could still screw up settings and maybe install something they don't want, but this makes it nearly impossible to get anything malicious and resolves 80% of the problem.
Other reports make it sound like the two companies have already merged at the upper-ranks, I'm sure they will cough up some money. Reminds me of IT, best time to ask for support from a stingy company is right after their licensing invoice.
I'm surprised there was no mention of CounterStrike or vent. I mean if a guy continuously picks the terrorist side... or NSA agents aren't leet enough to hang with that crowd either.
Slashdot Mirror
I would vote you up but I don't seem to receive points any more.
I had replies to my shitty comments and scores of 5 recently and I have not received any voting points either.
Amen
But how did they get rid of Beta?
FUCK I forgot I wasn't suppose to visit Slashdot today, I have a habitual habbit I can't break... and FUCK BETA
I was wondering this morning if we were still fucking beta or if Dice had made a response yet.
**NOW WITH LINE BREAKS**

I'm surprised with the amount of protesting under each story there hasn't been a response from Dice.
We had a 48port netgear switch that didn't pass ipv6 traffic, and netgear supported wanted to charge us for the firmware update, we didn't get it.
Alright, I don't get it.
Maybe it is 136 bitcoins?
Maybe I don't get it, but seems to me apposing Snowden's actions is like supporting communism, 80s style.

What happened to good TV, and that was even from an episode of Voyager.

There are FDA approved foods not approved by other countries, so what is the concern, there isn't enough dye?
Half of the OS, at best, is designed around touch-screen interface.
There are nightly updates, http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/
Also, reading your post was painful.
Not using hosts, dns poisoning. They work, with pr0n and all.

It doesn't mean to eat your own shit, its a metaphor to use your own product.

I'm curious what platform google is using for servers?
