Slashdot Mirror

AFAIK Bush is against embryonic stem cell research. "Normal" adult stem cell therapy is available for Americans and used widely and very successfully, e. g. to replace the immune cells of cancer patients whose immune system was totally destroyed by chemotherapy. Since bone marrow stem cells are adult stem cells, I guess this technology will be available to Americans if it proves useful and safe (even if, god forbid, Bush gets reelected).

As creepy as this may be for those of us fortunate enough to still have all original parts, it's life-changing or even life-saving if you've lost a section of your skeleton (like this dude) for some reason.
Profoundly cool work.

I always wanted an iPod how about you?

As far as cognitive abilities, there is no conclusive evidence that black people (or any race) is any different from any other race.

Correction: the stupid white folks haven't found the evidence yet.

It's a joke, don't go all "-1 Flamebait" on me

because:

find "all letters I wrote to Mr Smith about the Anderson account last year"

doesn't work unless you remember to name files consistently.

Your search - "all letters I wrote to Mr Smith about the Anderson account last year" - did not match any documents.

The following words are very common and were not included in your search: I to about the.

When people are willing to participate in a blatently direct marketing ploy in exchange for an ipod, it's going to be rather difficult to negatively affect their image of Apple's mp3 player.

I am suprised sometime at how much worse some PG-13's appear to be than some R's. It seems that many the the producer want to pack in as much crap as they can an still get the PG-13 rating. The maximum nudity, the maximum swearing, the maximum explicative, etc. Whereas most R's seem to get their rating simply from the content of telling there stories. I am abbout to swear off movies all together.

It's no hoax. I normally don't go for these things but...Free ipods (click here to get yours) .

Not exactly.

And for the "it works in Firefox also" comments - well, it doesn't. Not exactly... Firefox will allow you to save the file, but when you open it, it will open using winamp, which uses IE for the XML handling - thus opening itself for the exploit.

Nullsoft's patch will probably address the appropriate zone permissions it's XML files are
executed" in within IE, or just not use IE's engine for the XML stuff.

Free iPods. There's a Wired article about it here [wired.com]. Check it out.

This is somewhat relevant as its about an mp3 player... Free iPods. An actually legit pyramid scheme. There's a Wired article about it here. Check it out.

Still trying to figure out - is it winamp's fault that an XML character escape sequence causes stupid IE to run as in a local zone.

This isn't the first app that gets nailed just because it was using IE (for whatever extent of use - full rendering or peripheral stuff like SSL Certificate handling or XML processing).

Just add this to the IE screwups tally :-)

Just one more reason why I have ceased to used internet explorer for jsut about anything. Firefox all the way!!

And you should probably do (get your ass kicked for the sticker).

And yes - this is the reason why people rant and "get out of their shell" on the internet - because they are the faceless mass that pisses them off on the road, and they can finally shed all the inhibitions and behave like the jerks they want to be (when pushed around), instead of the nice geeks they are.

Simple, but true (and again - the examples for this can be found down on the bottom of this page ;-)

The most recent thing I saw for the ipod was a site that was giving them away, free. They require you to sign up with a 'free' offer (music, book, movie clue, etc.) and get five others to do the same. They are paid a bounty by those companies for the people they get to sign up.

They are also doing it with LCD displays

Well, that may not have been a plug, but this is!

at http://www.freeipods.com/default.aspx?referer=8309 944/ you can sign up to get a free ipod!

A combination with these monitor simulating goggles would be the perfect solution to solve this problem.

I agree

ASP support has nothing to do with IE or any other browser for that matter (lynx friendly).

You should be looking for ActiveX and screwed up DHTML when you say that IE is required. I am working with a major financial processing company and we support all browsers. Some of the servers do run ASP (both from Win and Linux servers) but the HTML they spit out is squeky clean - not a problem even if you have to recode some of the application... (w3c is your friend - and the firefox web developer extention too!).

Actually, all of November is in autumn, at least on the northern hemisphere. But in the original article, they also say, it will be released in autumn 2005 (of course only, if they do not decide to postpone it, because it would coincide with the release of Duke Nukem Forever).

Where are all the crazy modders?

All without voiding your warranty ;-)

Well you have to take LDS first, than it might work...

Interesting point.

To that effect, Ipods also have no value. In which case, you probably wouldn't mind helping me get a free one.

To stay on topic a bit, I have no problem giving a performer money for either live or recorded versions of their work. However, the industry that has grown up around this really chaps my hide. Not just the RIAA, either. How about Ticketmaster? $7.50 per ticket service charge?!?!?!?!! And a monopoly on tickets for a certain venue? Definitely candidates for Ark B.

It's great that there is a free (as in speech) iTunes. But will it work with my free (as in beer) iPod??

You know what's even scaries - go for a quick elevator trip in a NYC building (business offices in midtown/downtown). Make stops on the ~18 and ~36 floors (just averaging) and run kismet/*stumbler.

Woha!

These are all BUSINESSES!!! with their open WiFi networks... And for "Wardriving" purposes these are probably more interesting than the residential ones...

Just my 2c

With the low prices of Cable/DSL - even for a "slower" 1.5Mb service, I can't believe that anyone is still signing up for those "optimized" (it's called a proxy stupid) dialup services.

Last time I had to dial in - I just logged off after a couple of minutes to prevent a small mass murder of bystanders... ;-)

Is it just me or the fact that you can get a nice little LCD attached to something is the real item here?

We've all seen the hackable "disposable" digicams here before, and considering the quality of pictures and the hassle to get them off the camera, this one is actually hackable in the old fashioned sense...

Anyone has any info on getting this nifty LCD to work/interface with anything? (case modders...)

I would guess that even if you replace the battery - you will still be nice and krispy...

I have a recent model (serials do not match ;-) and it still heats up nicely to provide that cozy feeling of "I'm going up in flames in a second" I so got used to...

whoops. didn't even paste the right URL in that last comment. Darn this copy paste buffer anyway.

I think what we can take from this is that people are becoming "immunized" to ordinary advertisements...they just aren't clicking. So advertisers have to turn to other methods to try to pull in those dollars. One thing you can say for the ad-words thing is that at least it's not intrusive. Who normally runs their mouse over text in a news article anyway? And at least when reading a printed media article you're expecting to be advertised to, unlike with the DejaNews ad-words flap of a few years back.

Something I found interesting in the same vein was another Wired story the other day, about FreeiPods.com--an advertising site where, if you complete a trial offer from one of an assortment of merchants and get five other people to complete one too, they send you an advertiser-paid-for iPod (or $250 iTMS gift certificate). I've searched the web for stories about these people and everything I find suggests they're legitimate.

The whole thing seems to me to suggest that the advertisers participating in that program are finally starting to get the idea that if they want to advertise to us, they need to make it worth our while.

(Full disclosure: okay, so the FreeiPods link is a referral link for me. I was going to compare and contrast its advertising model anyway, and given that I was going to mention it anyway, it would be dumb not to include the referral link instead of just a plain-vanilla one, given that they both pull up the website just the same and I might as well benefit from the traffic as not. So don't accuse me of trying to sneak something by you.)

Help me get my free ipod!!!! My Refferal Link For all of you skeptical Trolls go to Wired.com and check out the article on this site. Its NOT a scam.

I found it funny that one of the offers listed on freeipods.com is for a $0.99 trial on RealRhapsody.

I'm wondering if Real knows this, or if they'll just take it anyway they can get it. You'd think that they would want to steer people clear of the iPod (especially a free one!) with their "Freedom of Choice" marketing and all that...

I heard he blocked the words "free ipod" from posts after too many people were adding posts with links to freeipods.com

Hey Slashdotters, I did a search for this free iPods scheme on here and didn't find anything and thought some of you might be interested in getting a free iPod (and in the process helping me get mine). It's pretty simple and by the variety of results/testimonials I found from Google I'm fairly certain it's legit.

How it works, is you sign up with freeiPods.com and choose one offer from about 10 companies (including Ebay, AOL, Columbia House, BMG, and others). The offers range from free trials to actual purchases -- the easiest seems to be to sign up for an Ebay account and bid on an item (you don't have to win). You then get five friends (or in my case Slashdotters), to join freeiPods and apply for an offer of their own.

The following is my referral link, but of course feel free to simply bypass me and visit freeipods.com http://www.freeipods.com/default.aspx?referer=7470 979

A pretty good description of how they afford this can be found here http://www.sphid.com/misc/ipod/ and I'm sure there's more discussion if you search google.

BTW, have any of you Slashdotters gone through with this deal?

Thanks if you clicked my link, and good luck on getting an ipod of your own!
