  1. Wiki! on Vint Cerf Answering Questions on Top-Level Domains · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How about a .wiki TLD? It's just crazy enough to work, considering the countless wikis to be found out there. Wiki Wiki Wiki!

  2. Re:Won't you be my neighbor on Grokster Launches Fear Campaign · · Score: 2, Informative

    That doesn't seem to be the right address anymore, try this instead: http://www.google.com/translate?u=http://www.groks ter.com&langpair=en&hl=en&ie=UTF8

  3. Mmm... Mand... on Marble and Sand Creates a New State of Matter · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll get it out of the way and declare this new state of matter Mand! Because Sarble would just be stupid sounding. Really.

  4. Other important nuclear installations on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1

    True, but in Soviet Russia, nuclear weapons have old people! (I'm very sorry, but it had to be said)

  5. Re:One out there already? on EA Considering Sims TV Show · · Score: 1
    Personally, I'm afraid that if this Sims TV thing pans out, then someone at EA (or even worse, their marketing dept.) will get the bright idea that Coc--err--Rooster Teeth is a threat to their power and will either try to a) sue them into non-existance or b) absorb the animators in to their ever-growing mass (and disposing of RvB in the process); giving the gaming community one more reason to dispise EA. I see only one solution to this problem:
    1. Summon the soul of Maxis and infuse it into a mecha.
    2. Enlist Sid Meier to pilot said giant robot.
    3. Fly to EA headquarters, and reduce the complex to rubble.
    4. Maxis-bot will then strike a neat pose and fly off into the sunset.
  6. Re:www.fuckinggoogleit.com on Inexpensive Handhelds for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many Slashdotters got curious and visted the site mentioned in the parent's subject line. I know I did!

  7. New! Silicon and Laser Crunch Cereal! on Intel Researchers Build Laser on Chip · · Score: 1

    Photonic engineer: Hey, you got computer chips in my lasers!
    Computer engineer: Hey, you got lasers in my computer chips!
    Both: Hmm...

  8. In the near future... on Defect in PSPs Turns Disks Into Throwing Stars · · Score: 1

    ...Sony will license a PSP version of Ninja Gaiden, and integrate this feature into the mini-game.

  9. The Last Temptation of Gabe (and Tycho too) on Ask Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My question is this: "Many game companies now recognize your website as a bit of a gaming review site (or at least you've tricked them into thinking that). What sorts of things have they given/done for you all, and have they affected the way you see yourselves as gamers?"

  10. Kent Brockwell reporting on Atlantis Found. Again. · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well I for one welcome our new alien over--I'm sorry, I'm reading from the wrong story. Well I for one welcome our new lost civilization overlords...

  11. Re:Sci Fi? on Hibernating to Mars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Believe it or not, Science Fiction isn't the same as Science Fact. Ever see those clips of astronauts constantly exercising? They need to do that keep up their muscles out of atophy. If muscles will atophy for an otherwise active astronaut, don't you think they'll get even worse for a hibernating astronaut? The issue of hibernating isn't as easy as it seems. Biologists today don't even fully understand animal hibernation on earth.

  12. Re:There's isn't a 42 joke in here, I swear! on New Hitchhiker's Episodes Available Online · · Score: 1

    My mistake. Silly American over here. Most I know of British gov't is all received from half-drunken exchange students (80% incoherent, 90% negative, 170% interesting).

  13. Re:There's isn't a 42 joke in here, I swear! on New Hitchhiker's Episodes Available Online · · Score: 2, Informative

    Proprietary means the radio station (or anything else you're talking about for that matter) is owned by a private entity, unlike the BBC, which is funded/owned by the state (though not as extreme as the state-controlled media one may find in an oppressive dictatorship).

  14. There's isn't a 42 joke in here, I swear! on New Hitchhiker's Episodes Available Online · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I for one am really excited that HG2G has finally made its way back to radio. And on top of that, I can listen to it hassle-free (not as in beer) and free (as in beer) of charge over the internet. I wish listening to American proprietary radio stations was always this easy.
