The Perfect Plate for the Nuclear Family Car

Posted by chrisd on from the nevada-is-americas-holster dept.

In what must be a dream come true for some, Nevada has approved a License Plate commemorating the Test Site and the connections Nevada enjoys with Nuclear weapons in the United States. The Associated Press article on the subject notes that a lot of people are up in arms about the new design, as Nevada is embroiled in controversy over the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage facility. The license features an atom. a mushroom cloud as the background and the equation E=mc2 on the plate. I was unable to find a picture of the plate on the web (I saw it in my morning paper). I'm sure a picture must be on the web somewhere. I'll leave it to slashdotters to suggest the best personalized lettering for the plate. My entry: DUKNCVR?

      I've seen the prototypes of those plates. The main difference is that the Hiroshima one has a little boy portraited while Nagasaki's has a fat man.

    Lately, it seems, alot of posts here at /. were on fark.com just a few days before.

    I was reading about this last night there...

    Of course, Fark's comments section sucks compared to /. - you can't browse at +3 like I do, for example.

    If you've ever strolled through /. at 0 or -1, you'll get a good idea of what fark's comment section is like. (egads!)

    Probably OT, though...

    Do yourself a favor and check out a new month-old internet site called Serence. Since April 2002 they have had a free / no ads / no spyware download for your Windows desktop called Klipfolio and this thing is great. According to the site statistics 3400+ slashdotters have already downloaded the Slashdot Klip and after joining them today, I can see why. (No, I don't have any personal vested interest in this, I just think it's cool.) The Slashdot Klip stays on your desktop and downloads the XML feed from Andover/Slashdot containing current article headlines, alerting you when there is a new one. Klips from a few dozen other founding news sources with XML newsfeeds are also available in a scrolling, dockable, resizable, skinnable package. In the lower left corner of the previous link you can suggest a new klip feed to Serence you'd like to see - a great thing for you to do, the more sites that use this, the better for all of us. You can even start up your own personal Klip feed! Rack up your favorite sites in one desktop package and you are really in control...click on a headline, up comes the article, click on the site symbol, up comes the home page. Like any dot-com, Serence's success depends on market penetration and this is one idea I think deserves to be slashdotted so it has a shot at succeeding...

    Offtopic? Not really, the article I'm posting under went out as a Slashdot Klip headline. And what good is maxed out karma if not to risk it in spreading the word about a cool new Slashdot feature?

      First of all, this is blatant offtopic advertising, and should be modded as such.

      Second of all this is an old idea on Linux -- both gnome and KDE have a taskbar newsticker which supports many different site feeds. Forget what the gnome one is called, and KNewsTicker for KDE.
