Slashdot Mirror
A Metric Ton of Quickies
Step right up ladies and gentlemen and behold, quickies so amazing, that you may not want to stare directly at them.
First up, a trio of Microsoft bits:
Ethan sent us an RFC for writing RFCs in Word.
Russ pointed us to a great entry contained within the microsoft knowledge base.
and an anonymous reader noted that boardwatch is selling
BillGatus of Borg posters again.
You may need a soundtrack for this one:
chisox sent a bit about Jem Finer composing a thousand year song (and a machine to play it). If generative music ain't your thing,
Jason noted that MC (Stephen) Hawking has made some of his R&B and Rap cuts available in MP3 format.
And while it isn't exactly music,
Several folks showed us the way to best learn about Semi Conductors:
have Britney Spears teach it.
wishus's submission is much less educational: he's kissing up to me by telling us that Sarcasta's latest update is
in depth study on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
If you need some images to enlighten and amuse,
B.D.Mills noted that stinky meat is back if you didn't get enough the first time,
Ant sent us the correct use
for the new mac cubes, and
danfairs sent us a picture of... well, a fire extinguisher.
table and chair pointed us to Political Arena, a Quake 3 modwhere you blow up the political candidates (is this treason once one of them gets elected?)
If blowing up Bush isn't enough stress reduction for you,
einstein has shown us how best to customize your case and void your warrenty in one swing. Of an axe.
Kartoffel wrote a CueCat interface for BeOS as well as a Mr T vs. CueCat Comic Strip.
Even more offensive then another Mr T vs. episode is a comic featuring
Admiral Ackbar debating Napster sent in by
georgeha.
Last of all, if you didn't know, Spinal Tap is back out in limited release. God what a great flick. Just figured I'd mention it ...
what, and emacs isn't overkill? ;)

Is it bad that after looking at each Britney Spears picture for about 3 seconds each, I started reading the equations and trying to remember my Junior year semiconductors class?
Because you can't, you won't, and you don't stop...
Some time ago I saw a questionnaire from the libertarian party that presented political positions as a XY grid, where one axis was social issues and another was fiscal issues.
;-)
This was a HUGE eye opener for me, and ever since I have been annoyed at media classifications of simple LeftRight.
Either a) most of the main stream media don't get this concept. Or
b) They think we are all too stupid to understand such a "complex" idea.
That being said, I just think we are done a disservice when editorial comments on slashdot cause it to sound like a PAC newsletter. Consider that when people who disagree read your comments, they downgrade the rest of what you say.
Report the issues and facts, Don't tell us how to think.
Yes YOU Americans are right. It is 2387 ferbles to the rod, and that's the way it should be.
This sig intentionally left blank.
Does this mean we now get the Choco-Banana Screen of Death? Because the all the Blueberry Screens of Death were starting to make my teeth hurt. Maybe this way I'll get some vitamins...
-- I'll be more enthusiastic about thinking outside the box when there's evidence of thinking going on inside it.
I can't believe taco didn't post the formation of the karma whore fantasy league.
