Comment Naive (Score 2) 388

This might sound a little naive, but if I don't have any interaction with the people looking at my stuff, I don't care that much. Obviously the amount I care will slide depending on what the material is, but in general, I don't really care.

That said, if they look intentionally, they should be fired. There is no excuse, they are breaking a code of trust, and are obviously too immature to handle the position they are in.

Dying Man Shares Unseen Challenger Video 266

longacre writes "An amateur video of the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger explosion has been made public for the first time. The Florida man who filmed it from his front yard on his new Betamax camcorder turned the tape over to an educational organization a week before he died this past December. The Space Exploration Archive has since published the video into the public domain in time for the 24th anniversary of the catastrophe. Despite being shot from about 70 miles from Cape Canaveral, the shuttle and the explosion can be seen quite clearly. It is unclear why he never shared the footage with NASA or the media. NASA officials say they were not aware of the video, but are interested in examining it now that it has been made available."

Possibly, however trying to wring every last cent out of their fans based on a simple supply/demand model might not work out too well in the long run. There are a lot more choices out there, so if the fans get the feeling they're just a bunch of dollar signs, and that the band is in it just for the money, demand might dry up. Keeping the price lower could keep demand higher by helping to sustain their popularity and keep the fans around longer.

The good old days, before every other comment turned into "duplicate post!!!!! do the editors even care anymore?????" and crap like that.

I remember waiting anxiously for the next story to pop up while writing a really bad C program to track IP addresses in a small dark cubicle in a vast dark basement of an aging government building...

Journal Journal: Day one

Hmm... Just read about the new google base thing, and thought I'd create an entry for my slashdot account. So...I go looking for my slashdot account link and find the journal system. Damn, I've been ignoring everything but the main page of this site for some time obviously.

So anyway, where is that link now?
