Slashdot Mirror

Thomas Edwards from The Sync (where we host Geeks in Space) sent us an interesting site: "Speechbot" is a Compaq Research project that is indexing online radio shows. Apparently it found terms like 'Red Hat' and 'Yahoo' in past episodes of GiS. Interesting technology. Imagine when it lets me ask my TV to find me every show that mentions Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Sure, it might be the beginning of winter, but that didn't stop us from having our fun veejay style in this week's show. We talk about DVD encryption, robotic snakes, and more.

Yes, fresh from the carnage that is Thanksgiving, it's another mind-blowing episode (14 if you're counting) of GIS. Download, listen and enjoy.

In this week's episode, we talk about tanning, the Microsoft trial, and many things we probably shouldn't. Many thanks to TheSync for hosting this for us. Also, if everything goes well, we should be broadcasting next week from COMDEX, which should be interesting, to say the least.

Back again with a new episode, we talk about Matrix sequels, cellphone experiments, Echelon, and plenty other subjects. There are plenty of radio shows on the internet, but no one else would record this stuff. This amazing feat of bandwidth consumption can be had at TheSync.

Back on the scene with a new installment, we talk about the Atlanta Linux Showcase, the horrific loss of Hemos' and Nate's house, and the various addictions that plague our productivity. This agonizingly special episode can be downloaded from TheSync.

After a hiatus, the geeks have returned with yet another installment. Topics covered include NASA'a Maglev technology, made-to-order children, and the geeks' undying love and affection for yours truly. It's a good one, and you can pick it up at The Sync.

Well, we're back in action, this time from an Iron Lung. Special guest Chris DiBona sits in with us, and we discuss everything from Corel's Linux Distribution to Cyberwar. This excruciatingly special episode can be found at The Sync.

TheSync writes "CNET is reporting that the state of New Mexico is in federal court defending its law that prohibits exposing minors to "harmful" material via the Net, in this article. "Harmful to minors" is the new catchphrase for attacks on Internet freedom of speech, now that "decency" limits are clearly unconstitutional. "

The article discusses several state CDA-like laws being challenged, as well as COPA, aka CDA II. People should keep in mind that but for the ACLU, it would right now be illegal to publish any material on the internet that would be deemed "harmful to minors" in any state in the union. I think people tend to forget that. -- michael

Broadcasting from the bottom of the Med. Sea, and with special guest Roblimo, it's yet another fun-filled extravaganza. We talked about Karma, moderation, underwater telescopes, and what's going on in general. Grab it from The Sync.

The 7th Seal has been opened-yes, that's right it's time for the most-weekly Geeks in Space. We talk about Mark Hamill's lack of career, sock Athlons, the new super-palmtops, with almost nary a mention of the Krull Invasion.

Well, we've done it again. Yes, we 've made another Geeks in Space, this time bringing critical attention to the Krull Invasion force, as well as the possibility of being an Internet addict. Tune in, and make sure you're up to date-because the Krull wait for no one.

Well, we've done it again. Yes, Geeks in Space, Episode 5 has been released. In it, we lament the lack of good news, talk about anti-matter, and the hiring of hacks by companies. You can also become...educated in my long-term plan for the hostile takeover of a certain Redmond-based company.

Well, the fine folks over at The Sync have informed me that episode two of Geeks in Space is ready for listening-with Nate, Rob and I's commentary, and featuring a live report from CowboyNeal from Martha's Vineyard, concering JFK Jr. Honest! *grin*

We've been working on this for awhile and we're excited to announce that the premiere broadcast of Slashdot Radio: Geeks in Space is officially online. We plan to do this weekly at first and pick up steam depending on demand. Essentially, hemos, nate & I sit in a bedroom at the Geek Compound and babble about whatever we think is interesting on Slashdot. Its available in Real Audio or as an MP3. Thanks to The Sync for setting us up with this. The link below has a few comments about what we're planning on doing.

• We can't currently do real time. We're getting a faster connection run to the Geek Compound (Rock on Andover ;) and then we might consider it.
• We can do call-ins, and will probably do it soon
• Too long? Too short? We don't have any real limits here, so my guess is that in the future we'll talk until we run out of things to say. I'd rather do daily 5 minute broadcasts than a weekly half hour tho- I think the rapid nature of Slashdot lends itself more towards short bits anyway.
• We didn't simply want to read Slashdot, so we go off a bit on tangents. We think it's fun, we hope you do too.
• So anyway, you can email us with questions, comments, and suggestions, we're open to constructive criticisms. And we promise next week will suck less.
