Firefox Crop Circles Prove Intelligent Alien Life

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-the-way-we-like-it dept.

This past weekend, the OSU Linux Users Group descended on a field in Oregon to create a 45,000+ square foot crop circle of Firefox. The photos and write-up are worth checking out.

  1. auto generated crop circle... by aapold · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Not implying that this is, but... how hard would it be to make a web gadget that would auto-generate an image of a crop circle based on a simple 2-color bitmap.... (image only, don't want something that hacks into automated tractors)...

      Check this worth1000 contest, a few entries are oustanding. Mid-to-high level Photoshoppery, but not outstandingly hard stuff.

      Oh no... it's the future.
  2. Just what Firefox needs by ZachPruckowski · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This makes the local news (and maybe gets picked up somewhere), and a few pissed off IE6 users might hear "Firefox, firefox, firefox" a few more times. And that might be all it takes for a few hundred more converts.

  3. So much fun! by pennyher0 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This was probably the most fun I ever had in my life. And now it's on slashdot! It can't get any better!

    I challenge others to come up with other ways to creatively promote the stuff they love. Try and beat this! muahahaha. :)
