Slashdot Mirror
Quickie Fu
Sit back and get jiggy with tonights Quickies:
First up, jamiemccarthy sent us
a Magic 8-Ball that claims to be operated by Legos.
And if you're into those remote control legos,
Paddy noted that there is new stuff on the lego website.
Todays stranges item comes from Chris Henesy
who sent us official NASA procedure for Viking Raids.
Michael Van Vertloo sent us linkage to a webcam from the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depositoryso you conspiracy theorists can keep an eye on it.
Bogatyr noted that there now is actually a website selling stuff from the matrix. No, not the minigun, but sunglasses and stuff.
tj2sent us linkage to an interview where George Lucas blaims the internet for Jar Jar sucking so badly.
Mike sent us a page that tracks Strange things sold on ebay.
Finally, markhb sent us
a Washington Post
profile of Marc Andreeson
where he talks about assorted things, and even plugs Slashdot as one of his favorite sites (thanks Marc!)
And finally, to bookend this Fresh block of quickies,
harb sent us lyrics to
the classic (cough) Will Smith Song "Men in Black" for Linux geeks.
Look, here's the REAL reason Jar-Jar sounded Jamaican, and it's actually totally innocent.

I asked:
"Is x^n+xy+y^n factorable for n>2?"
I got:
"My response is no"
Thats one smart 8Ball.
And the robot says: "In the begining was man. Man created all things. Man, with his infinite skill, created machines
