This would be awesome to watch, however, the overhead is probably prohibitively expensive-Insurance, Fuel, Insurance, Infrastructure, Advertising, Insurance, you know, the basics.
I'll throw in MY venture capital (that's about $2.30 right now...)
That may well be an environmental issue, or you had a lemon. Who knows?
The only way I killed my Game Boy was by leaving it outside, on a lawn-chair. It snowed. For a week. The batteries inside had ruptured (I'm not sure if it was because of the freezing), and leaked acid all over the place. When I finally defrosted it, it never stopped making a funny sloshing sound until it finally died, about 8 hours later.
This is after a life that included surviving baby-vomit, quick sojourns in the bath, and the ceaseless dropping out of car-doors. It seems to have taken a lot to actually ruin this machine. +5 Rugged.
As a member of the just-fledging geeks of the new generation- I have to say Slashdot is one place that epitomizes the internet, and what it should be.
The free exchange of information, but a fair-minded, topically indiscriminate filtering by the mods (who deserve their own particular praise for the preservation of the community) keeping integrity and sanity afloat in an otherwise grossly populous and frontier-ish internet community. There is always some lawlessness, but when the average page-view comes around, 90% of the shenanigans are excluded, and the viewer sees a large volume of information and opinion on the relevant discussion topic.
I recently showed my father (50 years old, high school teacher) Slashdot, and he sat down and read. And read. And I came back 40 minutes later, and his only words were: "Wow, this is so COOL!"
Thanks for making Slashdot the accessible, clean, and informative site we all love, with integrity that the whole internet should (and does?) envy.
ASSUMING that they're not already forking over their massive quantities of aggregate data to the Feds...
In line with the "do no evil" mentality,
I'm curious if Google has any kind of Order 66 for their data servers, something to eliminate / "lose" the data in the event of an attempted takeover.
That would be one hell of an interesting internal document.
Because an organization of this kind, of this supposed benign attitude, must possess something of the sort.
