Are you serious? Every single thing he does from here on could be another charge added by capricious prosecutors trying to prove a point. It's not like you or I where a small, harmless crime or misstatement is going to be overlooked. Someone somewhere in the bureaucracy of the FBI is building a gigantic case-file with everything Snowden does(and yeah, there's probably been a warrant issued too, so let's not pretend this isn't stuff they can bring to trial).
Use whatever petty powers might end up being called constitutional in a court of law, even if it's clearly against the spirit, because, hey, how else are you going to exert your authority over someone who's generally considered to have done a good thing?
I'm playing some of the Master of Magic soundtrack right now, when this article appeared. I love the sheer range of composition you managed over the course of the 90s.
Anyways, my question is: Has the demand for live instrumentation on soundtracks negatively impacted the flexibility of game composers like yourself? Or were the midi device days harder?
I think you don't need a conspiracy to explain the broken conditions in the US. Just an obsession with free market solutions in a field that can never be a free market.
The sad thing is that we know it isn't that special. There isn't a rare mentality that goes with that "credulous about attacks on those I disagree with". At worst it's slightly more pronounced on the political right-wing(though it's very very pronounced among those that hit "high-RWA" characteristics).
Eh. I think you're missing the point. The target for the protest posts isn't the editors, their hands are probably tied, but people like you. To make beta as big a problem for people who want to keep using the site as it is for the people who can't stand it. Kind of like an e(remember the 90s?) sit-in.
Here's an interesting point. I don't want any of your features, but I also don't want a huge swath of other features disabled in the name of "progress". The unifying point between us isn't that we both want the same things out of classic, but that we don't want to be shoved into a one-size-fits-none blandfest.
nearly every web browser exploit in the last decade has had javascript as a necessary component.
Not to come off as pro-beta, but this is just flagrantly out of date. Java/flash/acrobat or other binary plugin formats have been the easiest target for malware writers for at last while. Most JS engines are relatively sandboxed, and secure, leaving the lazier companies easier to target.
They'll go away when the beta is a steaming crater in history. Part of the point of protests is to keep the apathetic crowd from enjoying a world where the specified injustice continues.
And I'm sure it wasn't Timothy who modded this thread "0 off-topic." No, he's far too busy listening to us and implementing our suggestions to have time to do downmods.
As someone who's been hit by an editor downmod(I suspect a certain slashvertisement poster), 0 is a bit high for that. Getting dropped from a +5 to a -1 without seeing anything in-between is a pretty clear sign. Some people with mod points are tired of beta complaints, and it's not unreasonable to assume that they're starting to act.
I don't think malice is required to explain that moderation.
Nope, because UI/UX training doesn't necessarily help. If you target the lowest common denominator, as "good" UI design principles today tell you to, you're going to throw the power users under a bus so that 0.5% of your users get a little less confused. With slashdot, power users are the majority, people who want options, control, no WYSIWYG, and similar, relatively simple, constraints.

Yeah, medicine and the treatment of illness is a real global conspiracy alright.
I'm pretty sure you need the IPv7 experimental version first.

Even more useless. Keep providing no value to anyone. That's a good use of your time.
Slashvertisements and beta: it's better to hate together.
It occurs to me that if they didn't let people moderate except from beta, they could effectively stifle opposition.
Congratulations, you were completely smug and superior in how incredibly unhelpful you were. Congratulations on being both useless and annoying.
I'm not sure what maturity helps either.

And no, my use of the phrase "injustice" isn't meant to compare the severity here to the severity of much more serious problems.
Well, there's always terrorism.

+5 funny.
Why do they have to ban minor things like this when they could ban slashdot beta instead.
It'll all get better when Beta goes away.
Stop polluting the comments with your beta defending idiocy. You're wasting everyone's time, and you're wrong.
No clearly, only an effective boycott will work. We'll see if we succeed in organizing one.
