Ha. Possible. My alternative theory is that the new site is using our computers to make BitCoin. I have one core pegged at 100% utilization by Firefox when browsing the site.
As I am viewing this on a laptop, I really, really don't give a fuck about your fucking featurephone. Neither should/. "designers". There should be a mobile version, tho'.
Worst case is you get more than one rock. Throw a couple dozen small but well-aimed boulders, destroy Tokyo's train stations, Narita, Haneda and the major highway nodes. Threaten to lob more if you see signs of mass evacuation. You now have 8 million pissed-off, scared but relatively unharmed hostages, whose condition is rapidly deteriorating from hunger and disease. Quite the chip to throw on any bargaining table.
It's because of the the "Apple rules" school of design, which has as its first tenet "the user doesn't know what he wants and doesn't need choices". Of course, the imitators do not have Apple's capacity to get almost everything right on the first try, so going by it leads to massive un-tweakable suckage.
Just go back to whatever bridge you came from under, please. The site has been freshened up so much that it's even less usable. I didn't even think that was possible. Good job my ass. You're the clueless one, confusing design with "good looks".
On the contrary, we seem to be in violent partial agreement. Given that (as you yourself have stated) catastrophes, war, disease and starvation were never enough to keep the population from growing (albeit slowly) and that nowadays their impact is further dampened by technology, the only practicable way to attain equilibrium is to make fewer new people.
Good. The faster they wean the slobbering masses off of TV, the better. It's fast getting to the point where not even the dumbest of the dumb will have the patience to watch huge slices of commercials sandwiched between product-placement "shows".

Everyone except those who should fix it, apparently.
Figures. Good catch. Says a lot about the mindset of whoever pushed this into production.
Yeah, that was one for the ages.

The new /. still sucks big time.
Yeah. Mod me offtopic, why dontcha.
Hey... I just checked. The project log for slashcode on sourceforge is empty. The project seems unmaintained.
Accepted where? By whom? Should I mail them to support@slashdot.org?
The new /. still sucks. Yeah, mod me offtopic. I'll take the karma hit for a good cause.
Firefox with one /. tab open pegs at 75% on an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz. If I dare open two tabs utilization jumps to 100%.
Way to go "designers". This is a fucking disgrace, seriously.

Clicking a comment title to minimize makes the top half of the screen become covered with a gray rectangle for about a second. Way to go.

And break with one of /.'s finest traditions?

How about that threshold slider?
Oh do shut up. We all get it already. It works fine for you.
Seconded. It's 15 minutes into using the new design and I now officially have a headache.
Good for you. You just happen to be in the only category that will actually enjoy this all the way: mobile users.
Because the new design only looks better on an iPhone or iPad? Should be modded insightful, not funny.
No, no, no. You see, in the EULA that no-one reads they claim ownership of anything you upload. It won't be gone just 'cause you are.

Already did, thanks.
Maybe by then you'll have the good sense to give up on Hulu too.
