>Who would want to spend the resources to archive 20 gazilla-bytes of (mostly) crap?

What may appear to be crap to you may be quite significant to others years (and maybe hundreds of years) from now.

I like Internet Archive, sometimes there are websites of good reference material, i.e. Radio-TNC Wiring Diagrams Index at http://users3.ev1.net/~medcalf/ztx/wire/index.html but this site is gone. However, you can find it at IA. It may not all be complete (a non-profit cannot do everything) but considering this private group has done something the govt and big corporations will never do. I've use them when some of my webpages barffed and I cannot find the images on my computer.

FTA by George R(aymond) R(ichard) Martin, Analog May 1974. Faster than Ants.

The shuttle? Probably about $50 million, and not have to worry about getting sniped at the last second. eBay yanked the shuttle debris auctions in 2003 Something really cool is the space shuttle simulator, apparently available on ebay

...Apple is taking orders for these new "Mighty Mice", but if you order in bulk, they send them in special cartons (see linked picture).

Ok, ok, so I can PhotoShop a little...

I grew up on this football when I kid. Linebacker, quarterback, who cares in this game. :P

Some buddies of mine did this last year, hooked it up to a home airconditioner, and took it to QuakeCon. http://users2.ev1.net/~eggy/lanparty/graphics/fish tank_final1.jpg [ghettolanparty.com]

More accurate history lesson...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Taiwan
http://users2.ev1.net/~turton/history.html
The Chinese Nationalists hardly "founded" the country of Taiwan... Invaded is more like it.

Check your history again...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Taiwan http://users2.ev1.net/~turton/history.html#history
Saying that modern China has a legitimate claim to Taiwan is like saying France has a legitimate claim to the Louisiana Territory, or that Russia still has a claim to Alaska, or that the USA still has a legitimate claim to the Phillipines. If there is any country with a "legitimate" claim to Taiwan, it would be Japan.

Even though China proper hasn't cared about Taiwan since before its last dynasty ended, it's now using Taiwan as leverage to keep its other provinces in line. A broken China would be an economic disaster similar to that of Russia/USSR. While there's a lot of posturing, any aggression by China would probably not be looked favorably by the rest of the world.

They like the "cool" factor that makes their products appeal to designers and the in-crowd.

And don't forget, the new iPod Photo is perfect for storing pictures like this. :)

(warning: nsfw)

Wanna bet? :)

(warning: nsfw)

Sexy? You want sexy with an iPod?? Here ya go!! (warning: nsfw)

Hehe. :)

That may be, but OGG doesn't get you hot naked chicks like the iPod does. :) (nsfw)

That may be, but OGG doesn't get you hot naked chicks like the iPod does. :) (nsfw)

You mean like this? (nsfw)

She already uses an iPod, I'd love to install things in her xxx-box!! :) (nsfw)

Broad-pod-casting sounds cool. Personally, I'd like to pod-cast this iPod-using broad!! (nsfw)

But I'd sure like to podcast her!! (nsfw)

Named Beta AND she uses an iPod! What a geek grrrrrl!!

Then you'll be really offended when I say "even this naked chick could use it!"

Uhh, no, wrong again. As others have already said, it's more like surgery.

What you want is iPod Porn (not work safe).

Sweet! I had this back in the day.

It was called Blip and made by Tomy.

Here's a pic.

Nostalgia is fun

This has been there since 1977

Forget about iChat, I'd like to "patch" this iPod user's holes!!

How hard is to to socially engineer the average mac user?

I dunno, but I'd sure like to "socially engineer" this iPod user - "it" might be "hard"!!

Forget about iChat, I'd like to "patch" this iPod user's holes!!

Hey fucker, posting that link is MY gig, not yours!! All the other posts in this thread (and other articles, go see) are MINE! Go to hell, shitbag! :)

Plus, you'll notice that mine go to the full page while yours suck cause they're only 1 image.

Yeah, so does this chick, complete with an iPod too!!

Your right, its way more than just an mp3 player. It's also a great way to attract the attention of the ladies!!

This is a great tool that everyone should use with his iPod. Highly recommended!!

I dunno, but this iPod sure gave me an "extension"!!

This iPod Heaven gives me a warm and fluffy feeling too. That is, until I, err, crank it up and blow my load, uhh, I mean, speakers out!!

By any chance did it have lovely iPod user in the cast? That's a little slice of what I call iPod HEAVEN!!

I like these softer "tones" with my iPod. They put me at ease and make me feel warm and relaxed!!

I dunno, but this is the kind of iPod shifting I like to see!!

Check out the posting on IPodder.org from September 10th regarding their marketing team's work! Here's a direct link (NOT SAFE FOR WORK!)

Check her blog. Actually, now that I go there, it is interesting that she says they're already done filming. Cool!

You must be referring to Paltrow, as this specimen of perfection is NEVER the wrong choice.

True, but could a device with a small hard drive survive this kind of abuse? I think it could.

If your current endeavor to get your own stuff playing with the iPod is successful, will you branch out and get other things to play with it? Something like this playing with anyone's iPod would sell very well.

Also, consider buying an iPod. This site has some interesting information on them.
