Perhaps if every slashdot reader contributed $10, we could get one. The highest rated comment ideas would be placed into a slashdot poll to decide what to do with it.
I vote for geostationary orbit over Natalie Portman's house.
I stand by my "unsuccessful" claim. Yes, it looks quite promising even in early stages, but it hasn't really done anything yet. As far as I can tell, every time they try putting the turbine in the river, it breaks. If you installed a program and it crashed every few minutes, would you call it successful?
I commend them for their progress and continuing efforts to get this working. I'll call it successful when it's down there and generating electricity for a significant amount of time.
It's great that the Americans and Russians are working together now, but we won't make the kind of progress we made when we were in competition with each other.
Geller is well-known for his sports predictions. However, Uri Geller sceptic James Randi and British Tabloid The Sun (among others), have demonstrated the teams and players he chooses to win most often lose.
That's funny, all I've been hearing is that that they held back supply after they met their target for that quarter. I expect sales in April to be much higher, April being the beginning of a new quarter.

Ok, ok, keep your pants on...seriously.

Isn't it obvious what Google is up to now?
Gene-based ads determined by the skin flake analyzer on their upcoming gPhone.
That just about says it all...
I agree it's an ethical dilemma, but what's easier: evacuating a big city or a small town?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we found new life forms in Victoria's Crater.
See, this is why I stay away from Kenya and only deal with my legitimate business partners from Nigeria.
In a gut-wrenching moment, the robot was heard to be saying: "Why, why, WHY was programmed to feel pain?!?!"
Uh, I think you forgot to translate this to English...

Anybody have experience setting this up to protect machines against bacterial infections?
Didn't you watch Men In Black? You'll find the real news in the Weekly World News.
I hope they do too. And hopefully it starts another space race and technological escalation.

Yeah, wtf? It's almost as if they bought it to just play video games...
I'll agree with just about anything that helps "the third guy" in elections. I'm tired of throwing my vote away!
Unfortunately, it's hard for me to believe that a third party will ever have a legitimate chance at winning the presidency...
I'd consider it an upgrade.
Man, I hope it's not ILM. Then the fake moon landing conspiracy theorists will really have some ammunition!
If they really thought that satellites were good enough, they probably changed their thinking once China starting shooting them down.
Money isn't the only variable in the affordability equation. We can't politically afford to fight long wars.
And here I was hoping that the Great Blogger Purge had begun.
A man can dream, though. A man can dream...

sigh, can somebody get this guy a cell phone immediately? Oh, and let me know what the number is.
He's not denying the existence of global warming, he's disputing the cause of global warming. Way to sensationalize this even more...
