  • alapoet, on 09/04/2008, -1/+42Kevin needs to send the Digg algorithm into space, too.

    Second thought, maybe it should just get Buried.
  • simX, on 09/05/2008, -3/+37Rose and Scoble are some of the "most celebrated minds"? Bahahahahahahahahahahaha. Don't make me laugh.
  • phrenzy, on 09/05/2008, -2/+34I send my DNA into space every night.
  • jrbrewin, on 09/05/2008, -1/+26"Silicon Valley ’s most celebrated minds"

    WTF. I could make a list as long as my arm of silicon valley minds that i would 'celebrate' more than these two.
  • sockpuppets, on 09/05/2008, -0/+22Honestly you're all ***** ridiculous for doing this. Go knock up a supermodel if you're into your DNA continuing but this is just an ego circle jerk.


  • inactive, on 09/05/2008, -2/+19.....Define....DNA.....

    ....Ew....
  • drewX2, on 09/05/2008, -0/+16Seriously, these people are considered the brightest minds who have *changed* our world? I mean I like digg and all.... but years from now there will be something bigger and better. Impacting (and I use this word loosely) lives for half a decade hardly qualifies as worldly.
  • Darksoul, on 09/05/2008, -0/+11Give me a ***** break most celebrated minds this ***** is so beyond ridiculous its not even funny this is just one big ego circle jerk just because your ***** rich doesn't mean you are a celebrated mind....... ***** shall I make a ***** list of real celebrated minds. How ***** lame.....
  • StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+9I think they meant "Celebrity in their own minds".

    Next up: Calacanis sends bulldog DNA into space, talks about how much it cost.
  • PaulHaggis, on 09/05/2008, -0/+7what a waste, seriously social bookmarking, blogging and viral marketing, ugh
  • chiorpheus, on 09/04/2008, -3/+10So if aliens find the digitized DNA and clone Kevin, will his counterpart own half of Digg?
  • Mithivh, on 09/04/2008, -1/+8Publicity stunt?
  • fearlessfx, on 09/05/2008, -0/+7Deoxyribonucleic Acid?
  • inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+5what's up with this elitist ***** guys? i thought you guys were down to earth!
  • Babazoz, on 09/05/2008, -1/+6Great, now space is going to be filled with HuffPo spam and Apple product speculation too......
  • 007isbond1, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4touché
  • inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4"Digitized DNA"

    So...basically they're shooting a USB stick into space?

    Kevin should jizz in a cup and shoot into space himself!
  • techguru2006, on 09/04/2008, -1/+5If there's anything I learned from Men In Black, Kevin Rose could be an alien.
  • JasonCox, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4Great, now in 2000 years the Scoble/Rose space monster is going to come back to Earth and destroy us.
  • howdareyou, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3How about Veronica Belmont sends some of her DNA over to my house? I'll emerge 2 weeks later from my basement with my very own Beronica Velmont.
  • Lochie, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3Do Not Ask...
  • Mithivh, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3"three of Silicon Valley ’s most celebrated minds"
    Sorry, but not even close. No offense to Kevin Rose or Robert Scoble, but they haven't accomplished much compared to many others in Silicon Valley.

    How about the engineers from Apple, Cisco, HP, IBM, Intel, and Sun that are all in Silicon Valley?
  • SteveLRowe, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3is that what those ceiling stalactites are from?
  • buddysystem, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2sounds like the setup to a rib-tickling sleeper hit.
  • macfrekin, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2Come on! WTF.
  • inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2It's an attempt to promote a failed MMOG named Tabula Rasa. The actual "data disk" has been said to degrade in 50 years. :-(
  • SniperZero, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2point of sending dna?... how about sending a "Hello World" program instead
  • JustinPM, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2Absolutely sweet run on sentence. Hey *****, it's still running!

    Oh ***** son, it's MAD LIBS!

How humping lame.....
  • ripple123, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2thats one powerful money shot. BAM. ba dum pssssht. ill be here all night, try the veal.
  • Frozo, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2We all had the opportunity to send a strand of my hair into space 10 years ago, but I opted out.

    I had a vision of 500,000 mes working as slaves in methane mines for the overlords and I opted out.
  • Frozo, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2edit: "strand of OUR hair"
  • ohplease, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2

    Wow, a geeked up interstellar DNA sausage party


  • Necrid, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2and what the aliens land , get out of there spaceship, and all look like Kevin rose.
    We will be the one that knows why..................
  • bg86, on 09/05/2008, -1/+2slashdot is for news for people who actually know something, not people who wish to.
  • inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1Can I go, too? Sounds like fun!
  • ronfez, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1I'm not Superman, so I had to settle for batching on a space shuttle
  • inactive, on 09/05/2008, -3/+4if i rip off slashdot, can i get my dna in space too?
  • davidwasman, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1What? Us mortals aren't good enough to have our DNA shot into space?
  • tao52nyc, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1And aliens will happen upon this container 10,000 years from now, meld the two DNA samples into a "Rosoble" hybrid, which will then turn on them and utterly destroy their planet.
  • vichussmith, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1This sounds like a completely pompous act- and still I'd want to do it myself!
  • Ydnar24, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1No, but we will then be invaded by an army of Kevin Rose clones.
  • Synova, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1OH....

    I figured this was some kind of world record story about ejaculation.
  • ChuyMX, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1Kevin's DNA has also been found on Alex Albrecht's chin...http://www.instantrimshot.com/
  • MoFoKeR, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1will it blend?
  • gladyslwalker, on 12/19/2008, -0/+0ridiculed, slandered, abused, tortured and/or killed if no hymen is discovered because our bodies-and furthermore, our sexualities-are considered property of the men in the family: fathers, uncles, brothers, and male cousins. Other hymens can be quite elastic, and in this circumstance, hymens may not rupture at all
