The Dyson Sphere from "Relics" was pretty close. think of Larry Niven's Ringworld, but a whole sphere that size. 1 au radius. Bazillions of planets could fit inside.
It's from one of the books in the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy, I think... they said that by painting a mountain pink, you would make it disappear. Nobody would be able to process the image of a pink mountain, therefore it would cease to exist for them.
I'll add to the Comic Book Guy theme here.. James T. Kirk didn't have a button on his chest, he had to rely on the cell phone precursor... Wasn't until TNG that they had commbadges.
Saied is a "guest editor for a day" or something like that. He's using Taco's login, so he doesn't have to have his own created, then adding the "posted by" line underneath for credit. I don't see what the problem is.
You can correlate my identity across the net... so what? And you have your email address publicized in your comment, so I could contact you without going to a WHOIS site or even Google.
Install Windows on your computers with the white fruit, then it will have an automatic timer... the computers will crash after about an hour, the kids will leave, and someone else can check out how cool your white fruity computers are.
Slashdot uses their own way... they don't even care what YEAR something was posted in. If you look back at old stories, there is no way to tell exactly what year something was posted in. This is a poor data scheme if I've ever seen one.
I have no doubt that on release day, Pelican or some other like-minded company will have battery packs that replace the back cover as well as the batteries, and come with a charging cable as well.

I think it's pronounced "Kekekekeke"
I could be wrong though.
A Zune?
Yup, they'll be able to finger it out.
Well, of course... because Dec 25 = Oct 31

It's a clip from an episode of Malcolm in the Middle.
in case you are serious, try "define:buffed"
A typo or misuse of a word is better than "making up words"...

But that's not free energy. It requires the effort of pulling your finger to release the energy stored in your body.
I got two link cables with FF:CC... the one in the box, and one on a cardboard backer.

Actually, it comes every 10 years, since you're ignoring the leading "0" anyways.. so the next one will be 6/6/16, then 6/6/26...
They had to stop for donuts first.

A Google search for "London Times" brings up timesonline.co.uk as the first link... so it knows what the London Times is... why don't you?
Maybe their web server is running on an X-Box 360 and overheated!
Google for "throat microphone" You'll get plenty of hits for what you're looking for.
I *HATE* it when that happens! We should form an anti-cell phone coalition to combat these horrible acts of indecency and terrorism!
