    I mean, looking at the title, what exactly did you think you'd find in this article?

    A new BSG spin-off?

      Slow news day, and throwing some politics into the mix always generates some page hits. It's either that or the umpteenth "iPad defeats netbooks, AIDS, and communism" article.

    That said, I would love for somebody to analyse Kagan's positions on tech issues here (or provide some pointers to places doing that).

    Or at least tell us which type of phone she has and what her favorite desktop theme is.

  5. Krogans in Supreme Court? by aaaaaaargh! · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to put Krogans in the Supreme Court. After all, they were genetically engineered as a weapon and so it might not be safe for the other members of the court. On the other hand, it might give me and Obama Paragon points that might open interesting conversation options later. What do your think?

    3314 Saddam Hussein Arrested by CmdrTaco

    All I've got to say is how Cmdr Taco found time to head over to Iraq and arrest Saddam Hussein is beyond me. What with all the attention paid to editing Slashdot submissions...

    Wait a minute. I think I just figured it out.

    Move along. Nothing to see here.
