Luna Park? But that's in Seattle...or at least it was...100 years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_Park,_Seattle

If we were the types to RTFA, we wouldn't be posting here. It's the Slashthropic principle.

Slashdot, but like it was before it had to make money, and maybe before JonKatz got too vocal. The first year was probably the best. (Back in those days, registering was for suckers, so my five-digit came months after I started hanging out here.)
Anyway, money is the root of all this evil, and brings with it politics, slashvertisement, "broader appeal", and editors who must "look the other way" when a sensational submission needs to be corrected or ignored.

It's just the opportunity we've been waiting for, to start our own *new* Slashdot, with hookers and blackjack!

We have a spare on Mercury.

Wow, with all the "Antarctic ice" link posts at the bottom, this place is starting to remind me of Digg. At least when I last saw it years ago...

The 820 pic looks too much like the HTC HD7 that I'm typing this with.

It doesn't matter who delivers it, Hollywood will eventually get $100 per month out of you. It happened with cable, then later with satellite, and in another few years it will happen with streaming. Just wait and see.

To whom shall I write the check as I securely invest my life savings?

The online retailers should have invested in BB, fired all the saleskids, and supported keeping the stores around as showrooms. I would think that returns (costs!) will go up for the online shops when people are eventually forced to order blindly.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that one before.

Yeah, how about a robust, resilient, and cheap USB i/o box, please.

It's effing cold in Seattle. Snowing every other day it seems. I want to be warm and dry.

Relatively speaking, of course. :)
