just like a teenager saying it's there last facebook post. The fact that you announce it means you are just looking for an excuse to be outraged and want attention. If you meant it, you just wouldn't have posted anything.
"one unifying opinion of those critical of the changes is that *no changes are necessary" of course they say that becasue that's all they got. It's a great change,, but you whiner see something different and modern an you just whine.
Will you pout and kick your feet on the floor next? maybe you will get really outraged and slam your bedroom door.
Seriously, it is really nice. Please don't let these loud mouths who have so little invested in life, and are so spoiled that a change to a web site gets them up in arms.
They a pompous asses slashdot doesn't need.
Couple of points: A) The vast majority will still come here anyways. Whiny bitches are like that. B) The few that leave will be more then made up by a new generation of nerds that expect something a little more technical savey.
This is my fifth account, I have been coming here since '99, and I have been a nerd for well over 45 years. So I am not new, or young. Also, I enjoy new music, I love the new cars, and new science and technology is awesome.
Actual discourse among intelligent adults why all the whiny complainers are away. We will be able to have an actually Apple story without people like you going on long rants, be able to have discussion about climate with all the idiot who think they matter are away.
It will be glorious.
Any chance we could get you to extend that date, to say... the year 3000?
And if all the water came from on magical source, you would have a point.
The report is talking about water usage in drought and water stressed areas. You know, areas that are also doing other things to restrict water usage.
"your average water company could save more water patching leaks they've let sit for a while(17% of domestic usage is wasted on leaks)" patching? what you mean is dig up and replace pipes. It's very expensive. Consumers dislike the cost of a good system. Prior to Katrina, New Orleans lost 40% of there water to 'leaks'. Because the system was not maintained properly, it was pretty much destroyed. Mostly they did nothing about trees next to mains, and the never checked their valve system.
You should look a little deeper. Ceres is about helping business make decisions, and they are recognized as a good source of information from the business community, and their GRI report is considered one of the best. Nothing i this report looks incorrect, or manipulated.
Yes, we all should be concerned about bias, and yes you raise a red flag, but looking deeper they have been pretty good with numbers.
Unlike, say, Greenpeace,
"The report doesn't say that. What it says is that fracking uses lots of water and most fracking operations are taking in areas that are experiencing water shortages and/or drought. " So? what does their report say. The fact the Hugh Pickens is trying to manipulate it, or doesn't understand it is not Ceres fault.
"Who does the petroleum glut in the US harm the most?" OPEC*, and internal oil. Of course, it doesn't really hurt them much, and you assume the people doing the fracking are independent from the companies we get our oil from. We are talking about Schlumberger, Halliburton , Baker Hughes, etc... so not exactly amateurs.
If anyone was manipulating the article, it would be GasFrac Energy Services. They have a non-water fracking technique.
*I suspect what you really wanted to say was OPEC. At least I hope so, otherwise you are pretty ignorant of the subject.
Keep in mind they are talking about how this impacts water in the future, and it should be dealt with now. Which makes sense to have the company start looking at solutions. Or are you one of those loons that like to wait until there is a problem and then run around pointing fingers and spend a lot more to fix it? They are talking about droughts. Just in case you don't know, a drought is when you have more people using water then you get. So it can rain every day,. and you would still be i a drought if it didn't rain enough.
Some changes where made and these people feel like they can pollute the site for all the other people. In what way are these people not like the typical internet user?
Slashdot Mirror
and all I have to say to you is:

Good riddance, you never add anything anyways.
the comments are mostly useless rants by gas bags like you. Maybe 10% of the comments are worth while.
just like a teenager saying it's there last facebook post. The fact that you announce it means you are just looking for an excuse to be outraged and want attention.

ignorant curmudgeon complaining who bad things are with there other slightly urine smelly buddies and the center.
Don't like change.

you stop complaining you don't like it, or leave?
The new site has a lot of great features, and it look really nice.
"It takes courage to admit that you've been wrong"
You should keep that in mind.
You're nothing but a child throwing a tantrum. Go take a nap.
we don't need people like you, want people like you..nobody does. The redesign is like a beautiful light that's scaring all you trolls away.
Good riddance.
list the exact problems. Oh wait, apparently it sucks causer you don't like it and not for any reason a thinking person would discuss.

You're argument boils down to:
1) don't like it, so make it go away. WHaaa!
2) Ad Homs against people who like it.
SO, in short, you're argument sucks, and is on par with a 2nd grader that doesn't like the newly painted playground.
Yes, go. Good bye.
Did you whine more or less at complete stranger about your car then you do about the awesome slashdot beta?
Boba Fett* was horrible at his job.
*BOBA FEETS!
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it, assholes! "

Good Riddance, whiner
