Post by: deadly7 on January 26, 2011, 01:28:40 pm: There's an overabundance of white space, for which there really isn't a fix unless they change the stylesheet. Everything goes vertically instead of horizontally wrt to the article. I don't care about firehose and the stupid tagging system, just let me read the article and easily get to the comments without unnecessary scrolling. And the fixed header/sidebar... whose idea was that?

Post by: iago on January 26, 2011, 03:36:03 pm: yeah, fixed headers/sidebars not only annoy my OCD "they aren't supposed to do that!" feelings, but they waste screen real estate for something I almost never want to click!

I find myself reading the headline and saying, usually out loud, "Oh look, someone's doing this!", then I read the article for more information and find out the headline was misleading.

The quality of /. posts have declined by an obscene amount in the past few years.

Yup, that's the joke. Now you laugh!
