For me it was the div on the left hand side that contains some weird counts of posts that I never managed to figure out. It's only in the new dynamic comment system they're using (IIRC). I got rid of it by using a stylesheet just for Slashdot:
We are currently working on reimplementing the site in a more modern, safe fashion, while at the same time restoring all services required for development and communication. With that said, we are working very hard to revitalize Window Maker's presence on X Window (and perhaps beyond) desktops. With this new focus, we can now truly assert that Window Maker will be resuming active development very soon.
Why is there a motherboard obscuring half the screen in those videos? Did he just put the camera down without even looking to see what it was looking at? Be a little more professional, for goodness sake.
I hate sites that require you having to create an account with them, and having to go through the whole give email address, receive email, go to special URL or enter / create password THEN you can buy stuff rigmerole.
This is what I want, this is my address, here are my card details; now send it!
The one thing my Windowmaker needs is something to autofocus the window I'm currently looking at. I can't remember how many times I've drifted in thought and looked at another terminal, started typing, only to find I'm still typing in the other one:-)
The books are "based on" the games. They cover everything that happens in the games and beyond (including Doom 2: Hell On Earth). Sometimes the descriptions in the books could remind one of some levels in the games. They explain what the demons are, where they came from, why, what happens afterwards, etc.
It's not like the movie had much to do with the games other than the names associated with it, so I don't consider that canon.
Who said it was accidental? And who said your objective was to kill the daemons? Half the time you're simply trying to survive one way or another (Fall back to HQ, rally with a unit trying to call for help, regroup at Delta Labs.)
Makes you wonder what the point in opening it up for comments was.
Last Of The Well Behaved Editors

Vim 6.4 Released

· Score: 5, Interesting
Sorry if this rant is misplaced, but I see this as not an insignificant problem amongst newer GUI editors today.
There seems to be a growing (or at least more and more visible) practise of editors (especially GUI editors) not including EOL at the end of every line. They treat it as a line separator, not a line terminator, resulting in no EOL at the end of the last line.
Because of this, they also display lines incorrectly. I have noticed it with the editors in ZDE, Eclipse, and Scite. It only serves to create confusion when they interpret an EOL as 'start a new line', and actually start to display another line as if it already existed. This is very visible if you create a 'proper' text file you'll have to use a well-behaved text editor like vim for this) and open it in one of the above editors. It will display an extra line below the real last line of the file. You see something like this:
1 first line 2 middle line 3 last line 4
There are actually three lines in the text file and you can confirm this with 'wc -l '.
There is a lot of confusion with people who don't understand the concept of EOL and what these editors are doing. For example, I have people at work who use ZDE and when they open a text file created by me (vim), they go bonkers because they think I've put an extra blank line at the bottom of my scripts. There have been problems in the past with people really putting unnecessary blank lines at the bottom of scripts, and of course this lead to premature headers errors. Naturally, they think I'm doing the same, because they don't realise that their editor is displaying the file incorrectly.
I have one colleague who even wrote into our 'coding guidelines' recommending people not use vim because "it puts in extra characters that you don't ask for".
I have noticed that Redhat's default emacs configuration (FC3 at least) also opens text files in binary mode by default, resulting in a missing EOL on the last line of a newly created text file.
I'd like to know if I have the wrong idea about anything, but the question remains: what is the reason for these editors behaving this way?
Indeed. I wish he would stop. There is practically one chance at making a movie from a computer game, because of licensing. There are exceptions, of course. I love computer games, and I'd love that any movie made from them would be great. So I would ask this guy to please please stop taking the one opportunity of a good game-based movie and throwing it away, and please please let somebody else buy the rights and make a good movie.

That was seven months ago.

Talk about commercial suicide.
So disable it.
Set a background colour.
Agreed, and also...

The world would be a better, and I dare say safer, place if more people starting asking questions.
Dunno.

Slashdot Expandable Comment Tree, Slashdot: Expand Threaded Comments, and Slashdot - comment tree don't work in Opera.
Rounded corners. Q3 was meant to have pretty much solved this, but that seems to have been the first and last of it. Even Doom 3 has jaggies :-(

The books explain everything.

It'll be more a problem with your terminal. Disabling syntax colouring should help (":syntax off").
Like Slashdot? :-)
