For all we know, the page could be saying, "look at all those Slashdot fools who thing that this page actually contains information, HA HA HA!!!"
It would be very impressive if this is for real... Question is how much will it cost, will it be recordable, etc?
i.e. does it have any showstoppers that will prevent it from making Philips' blue laser disc technology stillborn?

I don't know about blondes, but brunettes don't fall for the ol' "it's not the size the matters" line.
This is slashdot, you are only allowed to rehash the text that is in the story, do not discuss outside the text, draw conclusions, make jokes or otherwise stray from the immediate specific article, or we (the insane offtopic-moderators union) will have to take action, thank you.
One of my colleagues will be by shortly to moderate both you and me offtopic for daring to use slashdot to comment comments and moderations, I think we all learned something from this.

Um right.
Moderation is an expression of how one person interprets a post. By commenting on the moderation, you are seeking clarification. There is no difference between saying "Why was I modded down?" and "What did you mean by that?"
The explanation you gave me is a cop-out for people with moderation points to burn. You're playing games with semantics. Duh.

Yes, but sometimes moderations are so off that it's worth paying attention to them, the -1 offtopic moderations being such a plague, it's used randomly for trolls, flamebaits, funny comments or other things that are on a slight tangent off the topic

Heh. My coworker had me type 'make love'. The response was like "unable to make love". heh. That was a while ago, I don't think it works today, but it was funny. :)
