Slashdot Mirror

Gveloper wrote in to say that x11amp is in CVS. An anonymous reader sent us a link to a Linux based synthesiser. I probably wouldn't have posted it, but I was playing with it quite a bit and its just a lot of fun. Make little drum beats and throw power chords over top of it. Whee. AbsurdSnore wrote in to tell us about a Slashdot mentioned in New Scientist's Netropolitan column for February 6th regarding the fight for ajax.org and the creation of the Domain Defense Advocate site. Anyone who thinks that the world is coming to an end is probably right as evidenced by the following three inventions: A nonymous Coward sent us the first. Pray that it is a hoax. fcw sent us number 2: the world's first (and I hope only) Ass Kicking Machine. And last of all, for the completely random, David Price sent us a link to gas powered couch Don't care about the advancement of technology? How about some bits about a a more primal topic? Knish wrote in to say that the Swimsuit Edition of Sports Illulstrated is online. Somewhat related I guess, Greedo sent us another Pseudo O'Reilly Book that you won't see in bookstores.

Andrew Tannenbaum was the first to inform us that Archie Comics has dropped its threat of legal action against veronica.org In related news, Captain Ajax writes "Ajax.org, making good on its vow, is sponsoring an initiative that coordinates grass-roots efforts to stop domain-names from being wrongly usurped by well-monied corporations and other unethical individuals. " I hope Captain Ajax's initiative will put an end to this nonsense.

Edmond Howser wrote in with this story about Archie Comics writing to the owner of the veronica.org website, asking him to "cease all use of the Internet domain "Veronica.org," all use of the Veronica trademark," and hand over the domain to Archie Comics. Turns out the website is about Veronica, a toddler... The story also mentions your contribution in helping Ajax.org. Perhaps we can help Veronica by expressing our disappointment to Archie Comics' Feedback Page.

Mark Corner was the first among about 50 people to write in to tell us that Colgate Palmolive has decided to leave ajax.org alone. Nice to see the little guys win one.
