Unless you're been living in a cave for the past 6 months or have not turned your TV on, how could you not know about the switch to digital in Feb? This is not the end of the world. These people pass by the converter display at WalMart when shopping, they see the PSA ads on TV for it at least 3 times a week. The world didn't die when they turned off analog cell phones, right? Some people may have problems with the conversion who had bad reception before since digital TV does not do well with poor signal strength. With analog you get ghosting, with digital you might get nothing at all.
Back in the old days of the cold war, in the schools,for preparation of a nuclear bomb falling, we would get under our desks because they are obviously made of some kind of material that can withstand radiation and a giant percussion wave. I'll bet those desks can withstand the LHC black hole too. Only school children and teachers will be left.
How much would it cost to build 1500 ships?? More than the GNP of most countries for 1 year.
How do you know this will not screw up the global warming even worse? You are trying to suddenly fix something that has been in gradual decay for decades. I would re-think this guys. Why don't you the guys to just fire up that LHC collider, run it at full power, then maybe we won't have to worry about this global warming mess.
Doug I believe there will be no charge on this two-four of beer, thank you.
Attendant Excuse me?
Doug Ok, uh, we found this mouse in a bottle of Elsinore beer that we bought at your beer store, eh? And we heard that when that happens you get your beer free.
Bob It's in the Canadian Criminal Code, eh. Like there's legal precedence set in cases in law, eh?
Since your brain can be (and for most people, is) used as storage, they could take you, and/or your children (you could have told them to remember something for you) to a DHS facility for their mind probe. This is getting insane, what happened to our rights. This is worse than George Orwell could have imagined.
There is no way they can be serious. First we screw up the atmosphere, now we're thinking about tinkering with the balance of the oceans? What about the life in the oceans? This is a food chain, we eat the stuff that comes out of the oceans last time I checked.
Slashdot Mirror
Same as most plane crashes...... Gravity.
On a more serious note, at least his family will have some closure now that the plane has been found and can have a proper burial.
I expect this kind of thing on Digg, but not here.
How did this story make it on Slashdot?
I'll give them 500 shares of Lehman Brothers stock and my Star Wars collection.
Drinks are on me!!!!

Hey, does this thing work on politicians running for President?

China does not supply spacesuits, so only REALLY bad people go into space.

Let's build a giant fan to blow it back.
" I think you're going insane Dave "
I'm eating your spam, having it forwarded to me.
BTW, there's a lot of people in Nigeria who have money for you.
I'm working on developing a "I'm a 'po ho " app that just shows a picture Motorola Razr menu on the screen. The price will be $.25
Just for fun, let's give it to the Mexicans and see what they do with it.
We're all going to die, I just know it....
Maybe next they'll have approved shoes that you don't have to take off?
They are looking at the wrong stuff.
Can the sniffers detect sodium?
Lithium?
