yes its ridiculous and no the guy has a social life. but he's a religious type nut and reasons if he doesnt read the great mail from yahoo spammers, he's not doing HIS bit to pay back yahoo for all the great email he recieves. honest. in fact i'm tempted to give his email...but no let the sod live in peace.
sure the tech is great and in the spirit of DIY. but couldnt someone put a bomb/germs on the reasonably successful homemade rocket and instead of launching into space, program it to fall somewhere...? think of the possibilities. i think the govts will step in soon as they reach beta.
tektites and comets and meteorites have been visiting the earth on and off. perhaps tsome of them have been seeding the earth with "new" exotic organisms like viruses and primitive bacteria. It is possible exobacterial DNA has shifted to other organisms ( dont ask me how)and sudden evolutionary changes were the result. neednt be dinosaurs or mammals appearing overnight--it could be a simple but subtle change in vegetation over a million years which leads to large scale changes. Intersting to see what would really happen if marsobacter infects us.
so many sunken cities are known to people in India whats the big deal? ice ages arent the only reason for rise and fall of local sea level. tectonic events commonly cause changes in elevation of large area. If theyre near the sea, well..
all along the seacoast of india there are sunken "cities". archeology is expensive, especially marine underwater archeology. usually new findings are secondary to strategic ocean floor mapping for submarines or mineral-oil prospecting or plain snooping. Expect many more sunken cities to be "found".
has anyone visited us already?

and it was mandatory for all users. there wouldnt be any secrets. everyone knows what you surf, how much you have in the bank, the loathsome disease you need regular treatment, your likes and dislikes, spending patterns, and you had no privacy at all (like now)......
Nobody really cares. Take a walk in the countryside.
big deal who cares.the information was publicly available. in fact all over the world there is this gradual trend towards openness, post cold war. even china (!) but get close to the really secret stuff you'll have a couple of large visitors, heh.
to keep them forking out $5 have a monthly lottery with prizes worth at least $100 each. the annual prizes could be really big ones like a powerful server, a vacation , things like that. the monthly ones could be LED flashlights or slashmugs thinkgeek stuff, a crate of beer or whatever VA marketing suits can think of.
of course, there's a slashtv appearance possible too for the lucky winner.
and i even get many crap hits because even one single word in search string turns up my pages. i have never paid a penny to google. i respect google ( and hope they keep my pages ranked high).
av, lycos-hotbot, is also good. I'm not mentioning yahoo since it is a directory really.
many small startup search engines are in the doldrums. hope they survive.
the one where user isnt AWARE there's a "design". He just gets on with the content. good design makes it easy for the user to do what he is suposed to do. rest (95% of websites) is poor design.
I would like to watch slashdot on TV. Seriously.

I would like to watch slashdot on TV. Seriously. Rob -please do find out if, like CNN international is interested. (this could be $$big bucks$$!). Andover suits will jump at it. Could be weekly 30 min program, a capsule covering maybe five topics of broader interest, along with editorially selected user comments. Since you dont have many original news/features you could commission paid professionals, or at least style slashTV as a "review" site. Have a poll on/. what topics to have on slashTV. Then slashdot website could be really free, in fact you could even PAY posters for worthwhile comments.( ahem) or exchange karma for gadgets or mugs or t-shirts or goat wallhangings. SlashTVwould be good for evangelising free software/ opensource. Good for a different-from-bigbiz perspective (like MS, SUN, IBM). You could also charge obscenely expensive ad time for.NET. You could sell video archives on cd. You can have interviews with ubergeeks, politicians, lawmakers, even bladens based on questions from members./. would be less US centric. Even Mr. Katz can spark off new ideas and enlighten even more people round the world. And Michael can propose on TV.
If the fbi/any authorised agency/interpol/UN/cia/whatever logs your keystrokes if you have nothing to "hide" (terrorist stuff, not that porn crap). (I think this has been going on for a long time now.)
Actually Corporates should be be more concerned some cracker/hacker gets hold of the software and starts using it or sells it to the competition. wonder what mcafee will do then.

there must be many such univs
