  • Okay, this is cool and all -- I mean, really I'm impressed. But, how can I say this ...

    GET A LIFE!!!!!!

    Don't get me wrong, but I think that maybe past a certain point just something being "neat" is not enough. To spend 155 weeks building what is essentially 30 seconds worth of "hey, that's cool" is just downright freakish. Maybe we should encourage slashdot readers to get outside and socialize, or do, essentially ANYTHING more productive than this.

    That said, the scenes of the close-up death star with all the big sheets laid out are pretty cool looking, The bumps on the legos look like machinery detail.

Just like a newbie, you try the obvious, it doesn't work, then you complain that the whole thing's broken and go into a rant about how nothing works, or in this case, about how Slashdot is a DOS attack waiting to pounce upon unsuspecting websites.

The whole damn place is connected to the net with 4 AOL accounts, 2 deaf monks doing sign langauge and a very tiny guy in a suit that just got tired of the lag and decided to get out and push. Something really does need to be done here. Notify the admins before posting a story, mirror the site locally, have a mirror pool of users that will mirror sites before a story hits. Do Something! We wouldnt stand for it if CNN burned down the house of the person they just interviewed, why should /. be any different? Come on Rob, you have the bandwidth.

    This site is fantastic. It certainly will help to combat the stereotype of the Japanese as little obsessive-compulsive types who fetishise anything related to technology and/or sci-fi, with strange hobbies and no lives. I mean, after seeing something like this, the notions we have about the Japanese just get shot to pieces. I mean, what better way to teach that on their own time, for R+R, the Japanese aren't insanely drawn to exceedingly complex, difficult, pointless and time consuming pursuits in an effort to achieve perfection in something with absolutely no practical value.

  • I fully agree with Hardwyred. I myself have once contributed a quickie about a unix featuring billboard. But, since I'm a systems programmer I thought about the /. effect before doing so, and cut off as much "fat" from the picture of the billboard before sending in the link. And I bet my provider had enough power to withstand the /. effect. And I knew, that at worst I'd have to remove the picture if they didn't. A couple of days after the submission made it to slashdot, I did get an email from the provider, because my website traffic had exceeded the maximum monthly traffic. (Above 1 Gb/month you have to pay extra.) But, as I said, they're cool, and he'd already seen I'd tried to minimize traffic (the original picture was right beside the one I posted the link to) and traffic was slacking down, so after I answered with an explanation the matter was further ignored.

    However, not all people maintain the URL they're submitting, and not all providers are cluefull. So a careless submissions can, in a worst case scenario, cost unsuspecting or less experienced nerds their access, or some money.

So, including the official Lego version, there's been 3 millenium falcons made.

    This is so beautiful. There is something esoteric about this kind of art. Like the ascimation it makes me want to toss a coin or two their way for making life seem just that more sureal.

    I wish there was a way to tip him a few bucks. I'll send a card, but there should be a web service for this.

  • No idea how many people view slashdot in a day, but if they all spend 30 seconds going "hey that's cool" then that's a lot of man-hours spent in appreciation of your efforts.

    At some point Slashdot, and Im talking to you guys in charge of approving the content, needs to wake up and remember that they are in control of a lumbering internet beast.

    Last time I got slashdotted, roblimo called me a few hours before to warn me of the impending doom. I doubt everyone gets a call (especially in Japan), but don't assume that they are unaware of the impact that /. has.

    I pity the lego-man.

  • Talk about frivolous.... if I check slashdot every 15 minutes for the next 70 years (should I be so lucky...) then what do I have at the end... carpal tunnel!

    This guy at least has a trashed website to show for his time/effort...

    This is good. Now, when one of my friends tries to make fun of me for re-watching the trilogy every couple of months, I can just point them to this guy's site.

    It's like the fat guy back in High School gym class. You may suck at gym, but the fat guy always makes you look good.

    This guy is the fat guy of Star Wars fans.

    ...mirror things like this before it's posted...

    Really, even if only temporarily... get permission, mirror it, and then post it.
