I'm betting Slashdot editors ordered a Raspberry Pi and still haven't received it. It consumes 95% of their thoughts and that's why they keep mentioning it everywhere.
How about this: if, about 6000 years from now, we figure out that windmills are worst than trees, we'll cut them up to harvest the metal and plant new trees in their place.
Birds can kill themselves by flying into skyscraper windows and can get killed by windmills. So a spinning skyscraper would literally be killing two birds with one stone!

I see this as the opposite: this could be the death of open source in the USA.
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
In Internet time, two days ago is like two centuries! ...wait a minute, we didn't even have computers and internet two centuries ago!!
TechCar is an alien visiting from the future!!!

The Discovery Channel will now be known as "The Explosions and Aliens Channel".

Counter-argument: what if it was actually speeding up the Earth's rotation?
Dumbass, he wasn't talking about "building a farm on the Sun", he was talking about a farm where we could grow our own tiny stars right here on Earth.

But... you have to build bypasses!
