Slashback: Gnoogle, PlayStation, Assault
Location, location, location. A lot of people were interested in the Google contest whose winner was announced last week; Dan Egnor creator of that entry, writes "FYI, I've released the code for the winning Google contest entry under the GPL."
You mean they weren't just saying Hi? Anonymous Goodfella writes: "In an update to the Dangers of Being a Microbiologist, the AP [news.com.au] is reporting an attack on a Tennessee state medical examiner who gave evidence to an inquiry into the death of infectious diseases researcher Don Wiley. Coroner O.C. Smith was left tied with barbed wire to an apparent explosive."
Jakob Nielsen says Flash No Longer Evil Allen Varney writes "Given that Flash MX now supports the back button, Unicode, and accessibility, and has introduced p$user interface components, usability guru Jakob Nielsen today updated his famous 'Flash: 99% Bad' rant from October 2000. (Scroll down to see the update, stirringly titled 'Flash Now Improved.') His Nielsen Norman Group has formed a strategic alliance with Macromedia to start educating one million Flash designers in the fundamentals of good design. You did know that Flash .SWF is now an open format, right?"
Step 47: remove blindfold, scream. For those anxiously awaiting (or judiciously pondering) the Linux upgrade kit for the PS2, some words to consider from reader silvaran, who writes: "I just received my Playstation 2 Linux kit in the mail. I was disappointed to find that none of the monitors (3) that I had function properly with it. So I took to following the instructions on a blind install. It's not the most elegant of solutions, but it works. You need a blank memory card to install, but everything else is included in the kit. I'm on my way to a full Linux installation, complete with 100mbit networking, 40-gig HD and a USB keyboard and mouse; also included are full documentation on taking advantage of the PS2 hardware under Linux."
That blind install looks not for the faint of heart -- still, it would be nice if every distro included a simple walk through like that for when a monitor just isn't handy :)
Reader microwerx adds some a few more words of advice and caution: "[T]he PS2 Linux Kit will not read CDRs, so you'll have to use the supplied 10/100 Ethernet Adapter to get stuff in and out of the machine. One very good thing about the PS2 Linux Kit was the documentation regarding the Emotion Engine chip, etc. There's at least 2000+ pages of information regarding how it all works in glorious PDF format. There is also a OpenGL-like library (ps2gl) that supports the hardware. I also understand that SDL also works. Another is the amount of equipment you receive. You get a USB mouse and keyboard, a 10/100MBPS Ethernet Adaptor, A VGA convertor, and a 40Gb Hard drive. And all of this stuff appears to have some future use (you may have to remove Linux to use them nonetheless). So, once again, unless you just want the novelty of having a PS2 Workstation, developing console games, or setting up a small home server, I don't believe that you'll gain too much additional functionality. An overall rating of 3 1/2 stars out of 5 is certainly in order (because after all, it is for game development)."
Props to all the logged in trolls and props to CLITS
Till I collapse by Eminem
Till I collapse I'm spillin' these raps long as you feel 'em,
till the day, that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killin' em/
Cuz when I am not, then I'ma stop pinnin'em and I am not hip-hop and I'm just not Eminem
subliminal thoughts, when Ima stop sendin' em, women are caught in webs,
spin 'em and hock venom, adrenalin shots of penicillin could not get the illin' to stop, amoxacillin's just not real enough
The criminal cop killin', hip-hop villain a minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners
your comin' with me, feel it or not you're gonna fear it like I showed ya the spirit of God lives in us
you hear it a lot, lyrics to shock. Is it a miracle or am I just product of pop fizzin' up?
Fa shizzel my wizzel, this is the plot listen up, you bizzels forgot, slizzel does not give a fuck
Music is like magic, there's a certain feeling you get when you're real and you spit an people are feelin' ya shit
This is your moment and every single minute you spend tryin' to hold on to it, cuz you may never get it again
so while you're in it try to get as much shit as you can and when your run is over just admit when it's at its end
cuz I'm at the end of my wits with half the shit gets in, I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in/ It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me
But in this industry, I'm the cause of a lot of envy so when I'm not put on this list, the shit does not offend me
That's why you see me walkin' around like nothin's bothering me, even though half you people gotta fuckin' problem with me
you hate it but you know respect you got to give me.
Its ok when they misspel something in the body, I can understand that, but in the headline? Somone should have previewed before they posted. Unless Gnoogle is a new gogle ripoff that i havent heard of.
IF your bored enough to waste money on a PS2 and try to turn it into a linux box then your pathetic. Might as well take that cash and spend it on a PC which is cheaper, may I add and better and also, Linux for the PC is free.
You need to take your head out of that big Sony color TV's ass and debug your products before you ship them son of a whore.

Prepare for the terrorists to unleash a biological agent that will sweep the U.S. like a brushfire. All of the scientists who can stop it will soon be dead.
Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power.
