  1. Re:Location, location location on Ask Slashdot: How To Make a DVD-Rental Store More Relevant? · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. The best rental place I ever experienced was That's Rentertainment in Urbana, Illinois. A huge, constantly changing clientele coupled with a selection of movies that still can't be beat by any online service is still a winning combination. Throw in the brick and mortar charm (staff picks, daily specials, and even equipment rental) and it's still the thing I miss most about living out there.

  2. Start modern and mix in classic on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 1

    Start with the first series of the modern production (Christopher Eccleston) and go forward, and intersperse it with some stories from the classic series. For the classic episodes I don't think it's necessary to go in totally perfect order, but try to go in Doctor order to get a sense of the show's progression.

  3. Re:Nokia who? on After MS-Nokia Pact, Many Nokia Workers Walk Out In Protest · · Score: 1

    I have not considered a Nokia phone in years. Who needs a phone that is three or more years out of date?

    I just bought a Nokia back in May after a few weeks looking at the available options because, and this was the primary criteria, it worked the best as a phone. The sound quality was superb and reception was excellent. The smart-ness off the phone was a distant third in priority, behind the usability of the phone and the usability of the camera (in my job it's handy to be able to take site photos at any time).

  4. Snazzy! on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    So far I like what I see.

  5. Re:Some hardware needs them on The Mystery of the Mega-Selling Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    A lot of older theatrical lighting consoles still need the 3.5" floppy for backup purposes. You'll often find that older equipment in schools that haven't got the budget to buy a newer console (or have to make the budgetary choice of new console vs. the spring play).

  6. Re:Hrmm on Where's Waldo (the Submarine)? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Only the one with a bobble hat and glasses is the real sub.

  7. Re:in the tradition of reduced shakespeare company on One-Man Star Wars Trilogy in Chicago · · Score: 4, Informative

    The RSC (the funny one) is a three man company originally formed in California in the early 80's. They cite Tom Stoppard's "Fifteen Minute Hamlet" as an inspiration to their work. Also, check out MacHomer for the funniest interpretation of Shakespeare's Scottish play you will find.
