Spoilers in posts *suck eggs.* Some of us read a little faster than 300 baud, and absorb the text of the spoiler before the meager warning of[spoiler alert] has time to reach the brain stem.
Could slashdot implement a tag that would render text invisible until it was highlighted by the user? Please?
In the event of Taiwan's declaring independence from the mainland, we can instantly flood Beijing with ads for penis enlargement!
That will slow down the PRC armies long enough for us to convince them that they don't really need Tawian and should focus on switching over to an economy based on turkey guts.
I, for one, welcome our new Pentacostal overlords, and would like to remind them as a barely-known Slashdot personality, might be useful in rounding up others to work in their underground Bible camps.
For under $25 you can give a gift to a hungry family that will help them sustain themselves for a lifetime. You buy "shares" of animals that the organization then gives to the family.
The gift recipient on your end ( mom, dad, sis, whoever) gets a card detailling your contribution in their name. Great stocking stuffers. Nothing says "I love you" like a share of water buffalo.
Instead of blowing wads of cash on a home theater system, why not give $100 to your local food bank this holiday season?
Think about hungry kids less than a mile from your house while you're munching popcorn and suddenly that immersive home theater experience seems a little shallow.
...just read some sad news in the Guardian - the Universe was found dead in its multidimensional home this morning. There weren't any more details yet. I'm sure we'll all miss it, even if you weren't a fan of its work there's no denying its contribution to popular culture. Truly a cosmological icon.
This is why fair-use and copyright expiration are absolutely necessary, so that people can create new works of entertainment without getting their arses sued off by the original artists' great-grand children.
Imagine what would have happened if they'd done this with Disney characters instead... WWDD?

The new G5 chips will require 1.21 jiggawatts of power to operate effectively.
I thought the Lord of the Rings series was a great set of books. I can't wait for someone to make a movie out of it.
or that there is real tangible benifits to faith.
Good spelling and grammar are apparently not among them.
(But that's just my atheist's cloying supuriority complex [sic] speaking.

I, for, one, have been waiting for a swimming pool that can run Linux.
This is not the first time Mr. Allen has contributed to the common good: google link
Good for him. If only more plutocrats thought the same way.
Turkey Guts,BTW.
Nice.
You've managed to slashdot a * TELNET * server.
What's next, slashdotting a bunch of pigeons? jeebus.
Turkey guts, by the way.

Evangelizing turkey guts since mid-2003.

It's only a matter of time before someone puts a wee little bomb on one of these and kills someone with it. Or at least puts an eye out.
Then it's only a matter of time before someone makes a swarm of them with wee little bombs and turns them loose on a bigger target.
Then it's only a matter of time before someone makes a counterswarm of them.
Then slashdotters will have an unlimited number of slightly charred tiny flying robot parts to experiment with.

The sooner the rest of the world stops subsidizing monarchies with lousy human rights records (i.e. Saudi Arabia et. al), the better.
I, for one, am looking forward to the day when our economy runs on turkey guts, so I can welcome our new non-petroleum based overlords.
Stick that in your madrassa and smoke it, Osama!
Apple has a monopoly on Macs. For some reason, we don't hear /. crying about that monopoly.
This just in!
Toyota has a monopoly on Corollas!
Holy sweet Ashcroft on a stick, call the Justice Department!
Chicago's nickname comes from the wind histroically blown by its politicians, not the weather.
I'm thinking of building a custom wooden case for my machine, but I'm concerned about airflow and radiation.
Has anyone had any experience with good/bad airflow from a custom case?
Are you kidding? With the exception of video games, DVDs represnt the best value in entertainment. What would *you* call a fair price to own a DVD?
Um, I think used books offer the best value in entertainment.
This is the same Homer Hickham about whom October Sky was made, I'm assuming?
It would be nice if more people listened to engineers instead of politicians when it came to science projects, wouldn't it?
If you'll read the article, you'll see that people are texting *from inside the theater* while the movie is playing.
So this should be read as spectacular news! Texting may be the solution to idiots with cell phones in the theater!
The question remains, if you text "FIRE" in a crowded theater, is that free speech?
Everyone knows the future of renewable energy is in chicken guts!
Seriously though, what a great use for all the agricultural waste sitting around the planet. Process the waste on site and use it to drive equipment.
Check out this book: Cradle to Cradle, also reviewed on Slashdot. It'll give you a great overview of the waste == food concept.
...welcome our new DNA-based tic-tac-toe playing overlords.
How long until somebody makes a DNA-based machine that can play a decent game of Go?
I'm taking bets on 20 years.
I'll bet Spinal Tap is really mad that Wired ripped off their album cover idea.
That would be Orrin "I'd like to blow up other people's computers for illicit filesharing" Hatch?
These guys are geniuses.
