  1. Eruption Theme Song by Hoi+Polloi · · Score: 1 · on Alaskans Prepare For Volcanic Eruption

    At least you will have a theme song to play during the eruption.

  3. I disagree by whitehatlurker · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Internet Explorer 7 To Be XP Only
    'Improvements in Firefox, along with IE 7 restrictions, could lead to a dramatic increase in the open-source browser's market share, according to Dotzler.'

    Okay, I'm naive, but I don't see this. The primary reason that MS IE is the main browser is simply that people aren't changing from the default on their PCs. This isn't going to change simply because a new MS browser is released. I imagine that most of the XP users won't upgrade either, unless it's forced on them as a security upgrade. (Which may very well happen.)

    The people running older versions of Windows will merrily keep running whatever dreck was originally installed as the browser on their machines.

    What I see happening will be that MS IE 6 will take a hit in market share, which will be taken up by MS IE 7. If there is a significant difference in the browsing experience, people may react to the change by moving to another browser (I have to admit that is likely firefox, though I am not an FF fanbot) but this will not be the common trend. The greater portion of MS IE users will just keep trundling along.

  5. Lyrics sites by kawika · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Intentional SpyWare Infection?

    I've found that lyrics sites are very common offenders. Just Google some lyrics from a popular singer and you will quickly find an infinite source of spyware and adware. Now, they have ads for many different ineffective spyware removers on those sites as well, so they are doing their best to screw their visitors twice.

  6. this calls for some B-52's by weighn · · Score: 3, Funny · on Mt. St. Helens Magma Reaches Surface

    Lava
    My body's burnin' like a lava from a Mauna Loa
    My heart's crackin' like a Krakatoa
    Krakatoa, east of Java, molten bodies, fiery lava

    Fire, fire, burnin' bright
    Turn on your love lava
    Turn on your lava light
    Fire, oh volcano, over you
    Don't let your lava love turn to stone
    Keep it burnin'
    Keep it burnin' here at home

    Oooo Hot Lava
    Oooo Hot Lava

  7. tcejbuS by jasno · · Score: 1 · on ESA's Scientist Suggests A Noah's Ark On the Moon

    IIRC, the lead scientist for the ESA in the 80's, Peter Schilling, already had a similar plan drawn up.

  8. I Have Now Officially Seen Everthing by Myriad · · Score: 4, Funny · on Enterprise-class Car Audio
    Though it actually has nothing to do with the E450 in dudes trunk.

    No, it is the fact that I just saw a reference to Shaving Cream in a /. sig... (eltoyoboyo's )

    Wow. An obscure Benny Bell song... on Slashdot...

    Oh god, I just realized this means I actually got it. *feels old*
