Slashdot Mirror
IV Quickie Drip
Squeezer sent us the April Edition of ext2 and
Jim sent us the
April Edition of FreeBSDZine .
For the obsessive,
Evan Vetere sent us a link to the Amazon preorder form for
novelizations of the prequels.
Its a 4 book set: 4 different covers, but 4 copies of the same
book.
Doommaker sent us linkage to info about that other cool movie coming out:
Southpark is also gracing the big screen.
bjb sent us a link to a applet that
will Shred Any Web Page.
Particular cheering after a long unsuccessful day.
DaMan
Penguin Pez
Well, its the season for Peeps, and Italica sent us a url to a page of fun things to do to your leftover marshmellow bunnies.
Not enough candy torture? frohike writes sent us another one.
What did those bunnies do to deserve this?
An anonymous reader alerted us to
www.fishdot.org. Wierdos.
Finally, an another anonymous reader sent us the most
Hilarious Attorney
Page Ever. Its for
Leonard Crabs, Attorney At Law. "If your legal case is not won within 24 days, we''ll buy you a free combo meal at Taco Bell."
Go now. Its funny.

Here's another quickie.h tml
Gates & linux at Comdex. Together!

There is nothing remotely fun or funny about it. Or am I missing something? I just feel as if I spent a few minutes unarchiving Communicator 4.5 for nothing (I use Netscape 3 as a rule).
The peeps page should have included the mircrowave expansion test...
Peeps must triple in size in the microwave.
Hmm. I think you have definitions messed up. Open source has always been related to the ability to view source code. What you are talking about is free software.
What's the big deal. My PC looks like that with my sorry Win98 NVidia Detonator drivers without even trying.
Oops.. That should be Gates and Linus not linux :)
Talk about mindshare.
I too love microwaving peeps as the they are too sweet to eat...
I wonder if they burn
want to see something really wierd? shred fishdot that furby hooker thing at fishdot is hillariuos, but uh, dont try 1-800-furby-sex, it uh, doesnt work
Fishdot... it was kinda humorous to see it pop up. Shame it doesn't have any worthwhile content, it really is a cute idea... although now everyone and their dog is probably gonna run a slashdot clone (a la *dance.com - have you seen jesusdance.com? now THAT is crazy) oh well i personally thought it was funny :P "News for fish, Stuff that's wet." love the little fish logo too.. hehe..
It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.
Maybe someone should thoroughly check out claims before they post. When the Shredder is pointed at http://www.transmeta.com/ it doesn't return anything at all. I know there isn't much there for it to shred, but it is still a web page.
I don't browse with Javascript or Java on, so the Shredder did nothing. But, hidden away on the Fishdot page was a link to the most demented thing I ever saw, Stick Figure Death Theatre and that was worth the whole trip :)
Is there anybody else who, after watching a bunch of stick figure death movies (frighteningly enough, there are good and bad stick figure death movies), who was reduced to hysterical laughter watching the Stick Figure Waiting For Godot? (adapted!)

...and the fact that dumping them in LN makes them REAL COLD was somehow surprising, ay?
I like the little new-media spiel at the end of
the Shredder's "about" page. Reminded me of the
installation ANSI movie from Terminate.

I just did a couple, and damn! the results would make pretty cool posters - sort of avant garde tehno-art. I'd love to have a few of my personal page and my company's.

What a neat idea: a filter that turns any web page into a WIRED page layout!
I suppose it's an adequate introduction for those who didn't know that Pov-Ray existed. Unfortunately, it makes the blatantly false claim that Pov-Ray is open source.
Just because you get to look at the source doesn't mean it's open.
Does this mean I have to buy four tickets in order to see the movie at all?
I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
is thehellhole.com just down or has it been slashdot'd already??? ouch that is fast...who can't wait to hear "you bastards yada yada yada"
Is it just me, or does alot of that shredded stuff end up looking like something from Superbad?
Maybe I'm missing something. What is the point of the 'shredder'?
a fan of slashdot put it up as sort of
a fun little personal site. he says so
near the bottom. I guess he showed it to
Rob (CT) at the Linux gathering at that cafe
not too long ago. CT thought it was funny and
hence it showing up in the quickies.

I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going.
That lawyer page ruled - had me laughing from the beginning to the end. What is with the fishdot page. Absolutely nothing to do with fish anywhere (or any other coherent topic for that matter) Just some guy that liked the /. layout so much that he just HAD to use it for something? By the way, isn't that page shredder just an early version of the netscape layout engine? :P

I think the sequel to those pages should be chocolate rabbit experiments

Anyone use the Shredder on www.microsoft.com yet?
I could do this for days!
The Peeps pages are truly ingenious. I wish I had the time to do that stuff.
I enjoyed shredding Microsoft's page.
I hired Mr. Crabs to take my case. He offered me the Taco Bell meal upfront.
What's up with Fishdot? I can't say I'm impressed.
Linux: Because rebooting is for adding new hardware.
Right, because somebody has the time and ability to test it on the entire web.
I think I will have to take him up on his offer once the SW toys come out for Taco Bell....

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati
Since primary/secondary DNS for fishdot.org wasn't responding @ 4:45pm PDT I had to get a non-authoritative response (208.196.56.207)from ./'s DNS cache.
After a couple of failed HTTP connects and ping attempt I did a trace and discovered that 208.196.56.207 is on the RBL hitlist.
If you are curious, the complaint that put the fishdot.org ip on the RBL can be found at http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ev/208.196.56.0-24.txt.
You use Netscape. I figure you can see the logic in watching Microsoft's web site burn(even if it is for your own pleasure).

Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
No point, just fun

I shredded my homepage, took a screenshot, and have a new background. Pretty cool!
