Doesn't this just prove that your thinking sucks when you've been deprived of eight hours of sleep?
Or did the researchers get students to nap for eight straight hours of daylight?
So if you're one of the NASA supporters who stresses the technology we gain (like cell phones and freeze-dried ice cream), you must now sell us on the technological benefits of Martian concrete.
Clearly, Johnny Depp would make a kick-ass Zaphod. I'm thinking the same attitude he gave to Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Hunter S. Thompson in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
All the film's creators should keep Oscar Wilde's words in mind: In an absurd play, no character can acknowledge the absurdity, or it all breaks down. Thus, the new screenplay should omit lines like the "these guys are ridiculous!" parts in the Shooty and Bang-Bang scene (where the heroes are trapped behind a computer bank on Magrathea).
As for the bit parts, there are dozens of chances for cameos. For example, Bill Murray and Steve Martin should play Magikthies and Vroomfondel.
"I can only dream and pray that the Amber series by Zelazny ends up as good."
Or the H2G2 film. Or, one day, the Discworld films. But I'm sure Adams -- rest his soul -- and Pratchett would agree that many scenes may be ommitted. They tend to ramble and add footnotes, as if packing their Silmarillion into the margins of their LOTR. Still, every minor character has his fan club.
According to Reuters, "[Delegates to the WSIS summit] called the English-language-dominated Internet a potential threat if it fails to reflect the planet's diversity." Just as so many had predicted.
Gee, thanks, U.N.! Tomorrow they'll tell us "Oh, we figured it out! Let's just wait for low-tech countries to use the web, since when they need web pages in their language, they'll create them!"
This ought to rankle you more: "Sara Kyofuna, a spokeswoman for the group that is looking for a donation of a million PCs for the continent's classrooms, said open source software is too complicated for some schools to run, and, if something goes wrong, there are no support staff."
Of course, Slashdot noted all kinds of support systems, including the technology community, that top the centralized, paid-only tech support that boys like Ballmer provide.
Wired ran a graph that showed how spammers can profit from 1 buyer in every 40,000 failed spams.
Run public service ads like "When you buy from a spammer, you choke the internet." Like "when you buy drugs, you support terrorists," but more honest, like "when you buy oil, you support terrorists."

All that money and they used milk carton faces for their splash page?
Pepsi was really smart...they paid off the record companies while conditioning kids to expect free music.
"Was this contribution worth anything in the grand scheme of things? Rate from 1 to 5."

And I thought I'd never appreciate the snail pace of the U.S. court system.
You're right, that hasn't happened in years! How many years HAS it been since a woman used Slashdot?
Can't Canadians download for free now? Who the hell would pay 67 cents for a song they can't resell, burn, or share?

Make Linux attractive to Counterstrike campers, and there goes the neighborhood.

Weren't we in awe last year over the idea that all-in-one computing would die soon?
"Wow, some article in New Zealand" Yeah, with a GDP of $75 billion.
