  1. Dr Who was involved in such a project on Falling to Earth's Core in a Big Blob of Iron · · Score: 1

    http://www.dwguide.demon.co.uk/ddd.htm

    The Inferno is a project designed to tap the molten core of the
    Earth, but the drilling threatens to unleash vast unforeseen forces
    instead, foreshadowed by a dangerous mutative green slime, and
    actually seen by the Doctor when the inoperative TARDIS console
    slips him sideways into a parallel Earth where England is ruled
    by an oppressive fascist military state.

  2. Corporate biography of DeBeers on Diamonds - Are They Really Worth the Cost? · · Score: 1

    As a DeBeers fan and former shareholder of it, this book was quite an interesting read.

    Fun little DeBeers facts
    - Before the "Diamond is Forever" campaign -- which is the most successful advertising campaign ever -- the majority of engagment rings were not diamonds
    - Rhodesia (the former African country) was named after one of DeBeers' founders
    - The first major diamond mine in South Africa is at Kimberley. As a result there is very South African women named Kimberely since it is associated with "a bit black hole".

  3. The Last Starfigher on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 1

    Didnt the good guys use something similar in the last starfighter? Will a recruiting officer show up at my house if I get a certain high score? :)

  4. Greenland on SGI Versus "Open*" and All Things "GL"? · · Score: 1

    According to http://www.bcpl.net/~jspath/isocodes.html anyone with a Greenland localised domain is also infringing on their trademark.

  5. Re:Sets on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    The interior shots where done @ Casa Loma, the exterior shots were @ Parkwood in Oshawa. The concentration camp was at the old Gooderham & Worts distillery also in Toronto.
