  1. Is this newsworthy? on Undersea Cable Repair Via 19th Century Tech · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't want to seem overly flippant, but is there really something significant about mariners using hooks to pull stuff out of the sea? I'm not really clear what the alternatives were. I'm expecting "Man Digs Hole With Spade" and "Tech Professional Presses Distant Button With Pointed Stick" as future headlines. OK. I admit that was overly flippant.

  2. UFO in South Africa too on UFOs In the News · · Score: 1

    According to this article, there was a possible UFO crash in the Northern part of South Africa over the weekend. Admittedly, it sounds rather more like a meteorite strike and some imaginative reporting.

  3. Re:Always kdawson on Dutch Securing E-voting After Being Pwned · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I realise that everyone isn't on the same page about this, but I read Slashdot precisely because its geeky and slightly off-beat. "Pwned" looks good in this headline and thats why I clicked on the story.

    If "professional places" choose to source headlines from Slashdot, they should surely accept how people communicate here. I see no reason why Slashdot needs to fit in with CNN's headline standards.

    Be yourself, no matter what the cost.

  4. Alchemy on Strangest iPod Cases Ever · · Score: 1

    Where can I get some pieces of golden brass? Better yet, how do I make them?
