    What the hell do they mean by RF lighting? That makes no sense where RF tech comes into lighting, sounds like spittng out light at 2.4GHz which would be useless... Could someone point out a plausible explanation or is this just a hoax?

  4. ugliest slashdot topic icon? by tps12 · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    I was just perusing the list of slashdot topics and was wondering what people thought the worst icon was. I though the GNU one was pretty bad, but I think that the Unix one takes the cake. Must have been done in Corel Draw 4 or something, haha.

    Speaking of images (don't want to get modded Offtopic, after all), I still haven't found a good Gandalf wallpaper image. Thanks to all those who have helped, now let's give it one more go. Remember, stoned is the look I'm going for.
