  1. Um... on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 4, Funny

    In the chance that ten years from now hackers everywhere will refer to this slashdot article as the origin of their symbol, I just wanted to post in it.

    ...but I kinda doubt it.

  8. Re:Brilliant minds on House Asks NASA to Postpone Space Plane · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think we'll get there eventually, but there have to be solid economic reasons to get there.

    So the first trip to the moon was a waste then, right?
    Seriously, since when does there have to be a "solid economic benefit" BEFORE doing anything new? You don't think the pursuit of knowlege of space is good enough? What about the POSSIBILITY of finding economic benefits? We'd be completely ignorant right now as a people if everyone shared yours and Mr. Park's pessimism.

    For a better idea of the people affecting this decision, consider Robert Park's comment (from the article):

    "...but we should critique it for the right reasons."

    We can't, that would put us in violation of Amazon's 'review' patent.

  14. All this craziness makes me think... on Patent Sought For Amazon Marketplace · · Score: 5, Funny

    Al Gore should have just patented the internet.
