Slashdot Mirror

IntelliToast

This game, made by the same guy, is much much cooler ;)

'Fraid you're misremembering then, 'cause it's from Januari 2003. See http://www.ubergeek.tv/listing.php?list=animation

The original version seems to come from here with a date of january 16 2003

Wow, this animation is soooooooooooo old. here is the actual site this came from.

This story is a great reason not to get a subscription to slashdot.

Anyway, the video -- which is funny -- is several years old and comes from http://www.ubergeek.tv/

Finally! My dreams have come true!

And who the heck has ever heard of "Steve the Linux Super Villain Guy?"

Check it out, it's pretty funny.

Super Spy? Small potatoes. Don't settle for less when you can be so much more.

Well, we're one step closer to the dream. Now, if only these were fembots...

This article reminds me of this flash animation:

The text above is taken from this flash toon for those interested.

Looking for "a roughly toaster-sized desktop PC"? Look no further than IntelliToast!

he wants to test linux on PPC.

But I have it on good authority that he was convinced by this.

I just hope he doesn't move to Iceland.

You're not alone.

Then try Intellitoast!

Kim Polese was using it a week or so ago to announce her new job at SpikeSource.

The Flash animation starts out with a supervillain saying, "We were negotiating with the Pentagon and we had a blue screen of death. That was the last straw."

Oh no does this mean we are all slowly turning into slashdot zombies?

"I Was A Slashdot Zombie"

Mike? I thought your name was Tim.

Even by the lowly standards of flamebait trolls, you sir are an asshat. Isn't there a nice MCSE forum where you can hang around with other room temperature IQ dweebs who imagine themselves to be oh so tech savvy? You guys can exchange virtual high fives for having the cleverness to make a career out of supporting closed source code that clearly needs a lot of support.

http://www.ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=54 If you run linux on that G5 imac.

Steve the SuperVillain has one!

Instead, try to keep up with the demands and needs of users.

I totally agree with this. Linux doesn't need to have a flashy filesystem in order to attract users. It already does what us users want - it satisfies our desire for supervillain global domination.

Flash and my checkpoint VPN client are the only things I boot to windows for right now. I expect eventually there will be a reliable way to run them, or I will cave in and buy VM-ware...

I feel like: this

Geeks in Love

The primary justification for buying my Karma 20 MP3/OGG player was books-on-CD from the library. I missed reading, and now I can "read" a book while driving on the boring interstate or doing menial labor (not programming or engineering). In fact, I'm ripping and encoding the last CD from Jon Krakaur's Under The Banner Of Heaven as I type this. Listen once, and I'm done, which does make sense for a monthly rental. I'd gladly skip the trip to the library and rent a single use MP3 for a buck or two. Saving me the time to shuffle CDs would be worth it.

Of course, all the DRM and DMCA crap is far too much hassle to be worth using. The artists need to be compensated, but making it almost impossible to enjoy their work is not the solution.

I like the idea of putting the control back in the hands of the artists, regardless of whether it's a book-on-CD or music. Pay to download works. I have used PayPal to quickly send a few bucks to various humor websites if I liked the content. Ubergeek is a great example. I also donated $20 to a Multiple Sclerosis charity website in the UK because I liked the novel breast bearing approach that was used to solicit donations.

A few dollars for a download, paid directly to the artist is a lot better than the raping they get from the RIAA.

It provides the perfectly frictionless platform I need to launch my orbitting brainlasers and fembots with a penchant for evil from my secret lair!

watching this....

This has been posted before. But it's getting more relevant with every SCO story lately:

Enjoy!

Or perhaps, they believe they are saving the world:

Requires flash, but it's worth it.

As someone who has actually viewed some of the content, I can say no, you are wrong.

Here's three things worth the money on BitPass: Geeks In Love, the moving paper model of Cupid, and stock photos from iStockPhoto.

In fact, you made the case beautifully for why people may in fact adopt a micropayment system. "There was something I wanted to buy." That got you over the hump with PayPal and there is no reason why the same won't work with BitPass or Peppercoin. I've not yet looked at what's available with Peppercoin but I can tell you that I've already found things I liked with BitPass and I hope to see a lot more. In fact, I took the time to install the software to sell stuff from my website (it was fairly easy) and I hope to add some things myself for sale.

And the one biggest reason why SCO will lose....

Actually, you can pick your choice of OS!

My favorite linux-switch-ad.

Your writeup really reminds me of this switch to linux ad.

This frickin' rules! I love all the stuff on Ubergeek. Now, if I only had some pennies to contribute...

Hopefully this can help you understand the situation:

I give you, Steve the Super-Villian - http://www.ubergeek.tv/switchlinux/

A good, humourous, yet only-slightly exaggerated from a (small?) portion of the Linux community...

I don't think zealots are what we should be afraid of, what we should fear are fundamentalists.

"You have to be realistic about terrorism. Ya gotta be a realist: Certain groups of people--Muslim fundamentalists, Christian fundamentalists, Jewish fundamentalists, and just plain guys from Montana--are going to continue to make life in this country very interesting for a long, long time. That's the reality. Angry men in combat fatigues talking to God on a two-way radio and muttering incoherent slogans about freedom are eventually going to provide us with a great deal of entertainment." - George Carlin

But... is it compatible with my orbiting brain-lasers?

Yeah, I never would've guessed they'd sell that much! Nokia Tacos Takeover Shameless self plug

intellitoast Just thought it matched the topic perfectly :)

That's because they haven't seen Intelli Toast

Friend, are you tired of your old toaster?

Burnt toast, uneven toast, and just too much bother and hassle?

Well, you have to try Intellitoast!

Thanks to years of research, our scientists have harnessed the power of "Internet" inside your toaster!!!

Toast, toast, TOAST! the perfect slice every time, at the office, on the go, or in the comfort of your own Home!
