As someone who gave testing the new design some effort (in a helpful community member beta-test sort of way) I noticed right-away the ability to switch to classic (which they didn't have to do).
But you seem to have failed to notice how badly the site was broken - and their announced intent to end support for Classic. Offering a choice between chocolate and rotting fish guts for dinner tonight is nice and all, but being told that regardless of what we chose tonight that from Tuesday onward it would be forever rotting fish guts... well, that kinda takes the pleasure away from the chocolate.
I seem to have had this now misguided impression that there was a healthy professional element of the community here who would give constructive feedback but all I've seen is a mob of angry comment children.
We did give constructive feedback - back in October when the Beta debuted. They completely failed to take that feedback into account or to make material changes to the Beta. We told them comments were broken, they're still broken. We told them the UI was unacceptable and broken, it's still unacceptable and broken. (Etc... etc...) That is why everyone so pissed.
The look and feel of/. is what makes it home to me. They need to leave the site looking like it does, this is our comfort zone.
Bugs and shit like that can still be tolerated, but remodeling my much loved online geek home is not acceptable at all!
In a word, FUCK!
I agree to an extent. Take anything SAS or SATA that's 1TB or greater and re-think the project with just those. Sell or recycle the rest of the drives. Depending on your needs the remainder should be RAID-1, 5 or 6'd (using software RAID if speed isn't an issue) and then put on an OpenFiler or FreeNAS box. Anything non-replaceable should then be backed up to a respectable backup provider in addition to your home-grown solution.
We need more information though -- what are your actual drive sizes and what do you want to put on this NAS?
I use freenas in enterprise situations. It's solid, reliable and it works!
For a good, low powered machine that runs as an ISCSI target, use a HP Microserver with a 2GB flash drive slotted into the machine inside. It will take 4 drives and another 1 if you convert the ROM bay. I have 4 running 24/7 and they have not let me down yet.

and this is different from running rampant in grand theft auto killing innocent citizens.... how... ?
I agree! How is this different!? I donno, maybe it's just me, but I want to kill innocent ppl sometimes!!! Humans are really lousy life forms IMHO. Besides will this not create awareness about how fucking stupid these religimon terries really are?

Who cares....?
The only reason that anyone has to be sued at all in the first place is due to the fact that badly written software has no other defense these days.... MS is getting the courts to do it's dirty work and it's probably cheaper than just writing better software.
Coporations eh?

Ahh, a Dice employee. We found one guys, now spam him to death!

Leave _OUR_ site alone, we like it just the way it is!!!! Fucrs!
No, I think you mean:

This is so lame, WTF? Why piss on us for your own amusement? I miss the old slashdot!
It will keep out the Space Mexicans.

I don't think it's that bad, but certainly ORACLE becomes a liability -- don't use anything they control.
I completely agree. Anything that Oracle touches turns to shit these days. Oracle, you worry me and the rest of the world... YOU BUNCH OF CHOPS!!!
ROFL, this comment just made my day!

That's a friggen awesome idea! I have loads of 32, 64 and 128s here in a box somewhere. I think This Christmas is going to be a laugh... :)
