  1. nobody knows on Ask 'They Might Be Giants' · · Score: 1

    When particle man goes in the water does he get wet, or does the water get him?

  2. Re:temporal density on Net Security With "NanoProbes" · · Score: 2

    Isn't that the packet that made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs?

  3. available now? on Electric Plug 14Mbps Spec Agreed On · · Score: 1

    I've been looking recently for a solution for home networking.. I want to be able to use my laptop to surf from the living room and I don't want to run wires if I don't have to. Electrical outlets would be perfect. Wireless could work to? What products exist today that do this? I know intel has a product but I don't think it uses ethernet?

  4. 5 favorite moments on The Simpsons Turn 10 · · Score: 1

    Off the top off my head...

    Sushi Chef: Poison.. poison.. Tastey Fish!

    Mr. Scorpio: Homer, if you want to kill someone on the way out, that would really help me.

    Burns : No no no.. Use the open faced club, the sand wedge!
    Homer: Mmmm... Open faced club sandwich.

    Power Plant PA System: We will now read the complete list of layoffs in alphabetical order..
    Simpson - Homer.
    Zat is all.

    Homer: Maaarrrggggeeee! Come on, less artsy, more fartsy!

    Honorable mention:
    Homer: Tell me what happens when you die.
    God: You'll have to wait until you die and see.
    Homer: I can't wait that long!
    God: You can't wait 5 months?
    Homer: No. I wanna know now.

  5. not holding my breath for any episode on Rumoured DVD Release of Episode One in April, 2000 · · Score: 1

    I was at J&R in NYC last week picking up (at last!) The Wall on DVD.. Someone had scrawled on the upcoming releases board 'Star Wars - 2006?' I think this sums it up very well.

  6. Banner ads on The Fridge of the Future · · Score: 1

    Under price info in the FAQ it says they are considering non-traditional business models like displaying ads in return for a discount. How long until we are getting SPAMed with ads for SPAM?

  7. Re:Airports aren't the problem. on Total Recall Weapon Scanner a Reality · · Score: 1

    This is a good question, can you say no? Has anyone tried this at an airport? When I flew cross country a few weeks ago I was singled out for some reason for what I think was a drug residue scan of my carry on luggage. They rubbed what looked like a magnet all over my bag and then inserted it (the magnet) into some sort of analyzer. I guess I looked suspicious.. Can you object to this sort of thing, metal detectors, etc. Do you give up your right to board the plane, or worse, can you be arrested?

  8. /.'ed on LegOS - Open Source OS for Lego Mindstorms · · Score: 1

    My French is a bit rusty but it looks like this page has been /.'ed out of existence. In under an hour too, not bad.
    Is there another site for infon on LegOS?

  9. Playboy is Scared on Playboy sues Search Engines over Trademark · · Score: 1


    How ironic that Playboy, once a champion of free expression should be persuing this ridiculous legal action against people who are simply practicing good product placement.
    Next Microsoft will be suing NBC if they sell an advertising slot to to Netscape during the same show they buy advertising on.
    This is simply a case of Playboy desperate to cover its ass as the internet slowly puts paper magazines out of business. Sorry Heff, just as your rag goes on a shelf with a bunch of other rags, your smut site goes on a rack with a bunch of other smut sites.
    I think they'd be better off investing time and money in creating a site that can compete than trying to censor the ads of the competition.

  10. bonus track, _not_ album on Grateful Dead MP3 · · Score: 1

    The blurb for this story wasn't quite right.
    This is a _bonus track_ being released, not an album. And of course its not the Grateful Dead, which no longer exist, it is The Other Ones, a great band consisting of some former GD members and friends. As has been mentioned already there is an active MP3 trading scene for Grateful Dead music and the music of other taper friendly bands. Its the natural progression from using the net to distribute lists of tapes to trade to actually trading the music over the net. One more way to put the post office out of business.
