My wife and I took the tour again in 2000. On the bus ride from some point A to some point B, the driver informed us that if we looked to the right, we could see a real live American alligator in one of the drainage ditches alongside the road. It was amusing to watch this busload of out-of-town tourists all crowd to the one side of the bus to get a glimpse of a common alligator after they had just been to see those technological wonders.
Talk about vaporware! Interestingly enough, the site has news of a new Buckaroo Banzai book coming out. Where's "Buckaroo Banzai vs The World Crime League"?!!! That's got DNF beat by an order of magnitude!
At least Johnny Reb's currency was honestly backed by GOLD!!!
You stupid Yanks must like being surripticiously robbed by the central bankers via interest rate manipulations and inflation! (Much like M$'s wasteful software robbing you of precious CPU cycles and storage space. Yeah, I said "M$", buddy!)
Come on, we all know it's inevitable that MS will eventually start charging a subscription for updates for this!
We need every Windows machine to have up-to-date antivirus and antispyware software. That means reliable, automatic, free updates. Anything else leads to compromised boxes assailing everybody on the net.
Or they could just design their SW with security in mind so they don't need these band-aids in the first place.
Freakin' AWSOME!!!! BoingBoing bites, doesn't get attribution right, either!
If you're the original poster of the story to MetaFilter, I would just like to apoligize for hijaaking your writeup.
And the damn trackback info is wrong.
I was only : A) jerking around the slashdot editors, B) trying to bring something cool and nerdly to a wider audience, something slashdot's been kind of light on lately.
Please feel free to resubmit the exact same story for the obligatory Taco duplicate story post. (Which would be extra ironic in this case...)
It's a fair cop...

Yeah, I was being a jackass and seeing if the editurs were awake.
If QM effects come into play at a certain threshold of scale, do both mechanical and electronic implementations of the same gates give the same results under QM? That would be weird.

" Listen, lad. I built this virtual kingdom up from virtually nothing. When I started here, all there was virtual swamp. Other virtual kings said I was virtually daft to build a virtual castle on a virtual swamp, but I virtually built it all the same, just to show 'em. It virtually sank into the virtual swamp. So, I virtually built a second one. That virtually sank into the virtual swamp. So, I virtually built a third one. That virtually burned down, virtually fell over, then virtually sank into the virtual swamp, but the fourth one... virtually stayed up! And that's what you're virtually gonna get, virtual lad: virtually the strongest virtual castle in these virtual islands."
Funny, when I read that, I immediately had an image of a trophy design that appeared to be a hand wrapped around a baton. Bloody Freudian lookin' if you ask me...

I think the one at the I-65 rest stop is a Saturn 1B, not a Saturn 5. Somewhat smaller, though still impressive.

Why doesn't /. have a "suggestion box"???!!!

Those two conditions are not mutally exclusive. Actually, they appear to be strongly correlated.
If something's too cheap to meter, how do you charge them for it?

I have no idea why.
does this nano tube-top make me look fat?

Stopped her from ever coding again, now didn't it? I say half his fortune is a small price to pay to ensure that!
Yeah, that's the ticket...
I luv "science"!

It's still cool though.

damn, can't post annonymously!!!!
Yeah, I was being a smartass. It's still cool though.

That old trueism isn't true. Ever been to Hawaii? (Granted, it's expensive land...) Maybe "They don't make much land anymore...
