Personally, I think that the show would be a good idea
you are as clueless as Pepsi https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Writing code is NOT entertaining to watch. Even Discovery had to spice things up in order to keep highly technical show afloat.
Well, if the event was sponsored by Pepsi, yes. That's generally one of the conditions for sponsorship.
There's a big difference between putting up Pepsi logos and branding (which everyone involved said they were fine with) and forbidding anyone to use any drink that isn't a Pepsi product, including water and coffee.
umm, no 1 they were allowed water 2 event was PAID FOR by Pepsi. If Pepsi says naked hoola hoops, and you signed contract that stated naked hoola hoops, then shut the f up and dance monkey dance.
Umm that "consultant" is a very powerful media exec. He MADE his career doing exactly what he did during this game jam. The difference is he is used to targeting Jersey Shore/reality tv of the week on MTV type of audience, 20 something party all night didnt go to college OMG camera lets scream and show our tits people.
Matti Leshem is Pepci go to guy when tehy want to reach young and loud retard crowd. He is not going away anywhere. If anything Pepsi will drop the idea of targetting geeks, after all they are akward and hard to work with.
People might be real, but the "institute" is a scam. Its very popular in Poland nowadays to create a company for the sole purpose of leeching EU grands, this bioinfo.pl thing, and its parent company 'bib seed capital' is just that.
On top of that, UX research and (more importantly) user expectations continue to evolve.
Yes, apparently usability is at its peak when you can only see ONE comment per fullHD monitor page, and empty 30% or right side of the screen is essential!
The classic design in 2014? Not too bad. The classic design in 2018? Probably not going to cut it.
HAHA, you really thing you will be around in 2015 (2018? LOL) if you keep changing slashdot into bad wordpress blog?
It seems to me that the one unifying opinion of those critical of the changes is that *no changes are necessary*. So, clearly this is NOT something that is meant to benefit the users - it's more likely part of some monetization plan.
Yes, it appears they are trying to monetize Slashdot brand for the new, broader more retarded non technical generation. Obligatory car analogy: Just like Jeep went from cult classic farm quality 4 wheels on a steel frame Willys to selling soccer mom SUVs with iconic JEEP logo.
They like the brand, they dont like smart audience leaning towards technical news that alienate drooling bieber masses.
+1 I would ask with old/. codebase rewrite. Make it modern, standard compliant and modular _while not changing ONE bit of functionality or look&feel_. Then you can start adding custom skins , you can even make retarded beta skin the default, but let users choose their preferred one.

Complain all you want, they are swimming in Disney money.

While Pepsi may indeed be utter twats, it was fucking poor showing by the developer.
Show some fucking respect for your client.
Exactly, Dance monkeys DANCE!

havent you seen beta?
Thats cute, but you really dont understand what Patents are.
Its not some magical police whissle that will summon Patent SWAT team.
Patents only give you a stronger claim if/when you decide to spend $xxK in lawyer fees to SUE party infringing it. Nothing more.

The big news here is Chinese are selling $7400 20W 885915MHz/930960MHz IMSI catchers. Not for spying, but for spamming SMS to nearby phones.
smaller than the odds of NSA having remote logins to every ipad on the Kremlin.
People might be real, but the "institute" is a scam. Its very popular in Poland nowadays to create a company for the sole purpose of leeching EU grands, this bioinfo.pl thing, and its parent company 'bib seed capital' is just that.
so they can negotiate fat settlement checks instead of winning cases?
Settlement is NOT a win. It is a cop out.
This "academic bioinformatics institute" is an LCC, not an actual academic institution :) Its a scam.
expensive lenses? oh, you live in US, land of health care for the rich, emergency rooms for the common folk
Yes, its not like there is a precedent cough Mesa Verde cough
Sure it can, but it means games with simple geometry and not a lot of content on the screen at the same time.
I believe the BBB cpu is 64bit
You believe in god too,right?
I'm picturing the NYPD implementation of Google Glass to be extremely buggy. It will have a tendency to shut off right before almost every arrest
like Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses ?
also fuck beta
google glass offers only ~20% of usable space for content, so in other words they are match made in heaven
they should redirect people to slashdot BETA
retards with phones, clicking on pictures
web 2.0 is all about catering to them
