  1. Obligatory on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Suddenly, in a basement far, far away... a lone Star Wars fanboy cries out in pain.

  2. Re:LOL on A Chip on DVDs Could Prevent Theft · · Score: 0

    I believe the reason why they're saying this that there would be no need for compensating losses from warez'd movies, assuming that that they already do this.

    I would think it would eventually switch, much like music. Non-DRM music is more expensive then DRM, right. Perhaps this is the route DVDs are going. If you want to make _backups_ of your personal DVDs, maybe it's going to cost more than non-copyable DVDs.

    Atleast something to that effect.

    "Could this help to bring down the prices" has to be a justified comment, I mean it's on the internet, duh

  3. Wait... on TSA Loses Hard Drive With Personnel Info · · Score: 1, Insightful
    A portable hard drive... is missing?

    The agency said it did not know whether the device is still within headquarters or was stolen. This doesn't make much sense. Why would you report a secuirty *breach* if you aren't even sure if it was stolen? It seems sort of bad-business like to worry someone right when something *might have* gone wrong.
  4. Two words. on Wii Aches - Couch Potatoes Working it Up · · Score: 1

    "Drum Hero"

  5. "Press 1 to talk with a banker" on Microsoft Hoping for Vista in January · · Score: 1

    "He said Microsoft was investing $8 billion to $9 billion in developing Vista and the company's next version of Office"
    Wait ... "We're not sure, but, we think we spent 8 billion ... [ Looks to Banker ] Er... 9 billion dollars"

    I'd sure like to see them file taxes.
    A billion dollar discrepancy? Please.

  6. Re:The whole shebang. on Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest · · Score: 1

    I absolutely would consider a design with all 153 redone topic icons.
    Is there a link, by any chance, that would display a summary of each icon; a caption if you will? (Or at least just the images)

    It would be definetly interesting to see the different icons created, assuming someone would, by a user with some ingenuity***.

    What is interesting about this project is that navigation is not really a problem. With most sites there is some standard "click here->go here" for finding all neccessary information. But, here, the navigation is not as valid, since news' stories and such are "the navigation".

    So, with that, is the standard templating of the news' stories be able to a subject of change? At least with design? (Assuming you like the style)

    I am sure many of the users have thought about before redesigning slashdot before hand, it is going to be interesting to see the results.

    "With great power comes great responsibility."
    I believe this quote can be used in this context

    Good luck everyone.

    *** I would do it.
