New HHGTTG Radio Show Gets Douglas Adams' Voice

trellick writes "The BBC has not only announced that they are to make radio adaptations to The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy's final three books: Life, The Universe and Everything; So Long and Thanks For All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. Also, Douglas Adams is to himself provide the voice of Agrajag, the character constantly being reincarnated and dying at the (inadvertent) hands of Arthur Dent, since Adams 'always intended to play the part of Agrajag and recorded himself in the part a few years ago.' Wonderful stuff!"

Yet another wave of workstations named

Babelfish.

Mod me Down, way off-topic: But, doesn't it make more sense to enforce the two minutes between postings only within the same parent post?

I mean hell, if I reply to a post in A, then goto reply to a post in B, that seems to indicate that I'm probably not in a flame war, which is ostensibly why the speed bump was put there.

Unfortunately, just like a real speed bump, it is more an inconvenience to those who it isn;t aimed at than those it is.

Besides, is two minutes really going to make that much of a difference to the flame-war artist? Maybe if the form cleared itself, and he/she had to author the thing from scratch again...

Yeah, I allready said, mod me down...

Is two minutes really that big a deal?

I thought the two-minute delay was to make automated response scripts that spam message threads with off-topic posts less 'spamy'...

I think it was also put there to avoid crapflooding.

I have a better question then:

Who deserves modding down, the guy who knows he's going off-topic, and states as much, or the folk who reply to the off-topic portion of the post?

Not casting stones, but I allways think it amusing that a poster can correctly predict his down modding, and it never seems to extend to those people who justify the off-topic post with replies...

I just think it is funny, especially since you siezed on the portion (in retrospect, I honestly didn't even consider the corollary) and if anything, you'll probably get modded up, even though you replied to something off-topic, which in turn spawned this (which diverges even farther from the topic)

Maybe I'll put together a bunch of shite like this for an O'Reilly book... ...Maybe "An Introduction to Slashdot Moderation and Rebuttal."

Of course, you have to announce the release on slashdot, which ought to be an interesting series of posts in and of itself...
