I'd start by posting about it on a widely read public forum and giving enough details about yourself that the company could easily figure out who you are just on the basis of the post. If that won't have them banging down your door for your resume, nothing will! Companies love that sort of thing.
ANNOUNCER: When last we left the spaceship Swinepork, Dr. Strangepork was on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough!
STRANGEPORK (fiddling with a bizarre contraption): Let's see, adjust this, twiddle that... hmmm.
PIGGY: What'cha workin on there Strangepork? Some kind of Intergalactic vacuum cleaner?
STRANGEPORK: Oh, you'll find out soon enough Miss Piggy. Just one last adjustment and... (disco ball decends from ceiling, disco music blares). (yelling) This is an intergalactic pig sperm collector! Soon we will understand how pigs evolve!
PIGGY: Strangepork, you are one twisted pig! Where do you think you are going to get pig sperm out here in space anyway?
HOGTHROB: I think you should have only best sperm, therefore it will come from pig numbero uno and galactic playboy... me. (puts his arm around Piggy). But I'm going to need some help..
PIGGY (dawning realization): What the... oh no you didn't.
STRANGEPORK: No, we need as much sperm as possible. Miss Piggy, you wouldn't want to stand in the way of science would you? (reaches for his pants).
HOGTHROB: As first.. mate.. on this ship piggy, we must repopulate the universe together!
STRANGEPORK: Prepare for docking Firstmate Piggy!
PIGGY: (looks at audience). You saw this one coming right? Hiiiiiiiii----yaaaaaa! (spinning karate kick to the groins of Strangepork and Hogthrob).
(Piggy adjust her uniform as Link and Dr. Strangepork pick themselves off the floor).
STRANGEPORK: Well, you can't say we didn't try.
PIGGY: Typical men.. all pigs.
HOGTHROB: Actually this collector device is strangely attractive.
(Hogthrob humps the collector in the background as Strangepork covers his eyes and Piggy begins retching).
I wrote some gtk software to do just that. Haven't released it yet (not mature enough, missing most features), but it works pretty well on the home tv/stereo system with lirc, a $35 Irman, and my universal remote (sony rmvl900). It plays using xmms in the background, so it can do anything xmms does (I think can play ogg). Also it plays videos with MPlayer.
There are a few similar projects out there as well that I've been tracking.
Myth TV has a music mode AND does live tv functionality! (I will probably migrate to this instead of continuing my project).
Wow, it would be so cool to hail one of these taxis! "Hey driver, take me to the roof!" It's gonna be a "Blade Runner" future, for sure. Battery powered Flying taxis, who da thunk it?
You must be one of those arseholes who demands people post in raw or subtitled only in a.b.m.anime. I hate you people.
I watch quite a bit of anime. Clearly I appreciate it. A decent dub lets me concentrate on the ART and ANIMATION, which is what I like about anime.
I even took a bit of japanese in college, and I honestly don't think it adds anything to my understanding or appreciation (because I don't remember a lick), which get along quite fine in english, thanks.

I'd like to remind them that as a trusted engineer, I can be helpful in using can openers to open tasty cat food items.

Clearly the point is to make money for the companies giving them out.

Donald Trump invites 10 robots to help him run the new Trump Tower in Chicago.
"IG-88... you're fired!"
I predict the winner will be the first robot to construct a realistic looking hairpiece for the Donald.
If there was a real life transporter, would you travel on it?

Dude, I just rendered my shorts...
