  1. Gore has backslashdot votes on Election Wrapping Up (Part 2) · · Score: 1
    I noticed CNN.com had a bug in their website code.
    It says: "Bush now has 217 electoral votes and Gore has \. "
    OK, that's a backslashdot, not slashdot, but hey!

    Screencap is here in case they fix it before you look at it.
    No, I'm not making this up.

  3. Film Can Cannon as desk toy on Year 2000 Ig-Nobels Released · · Score: 1

    I found this link off of the floating frog story. It's a small fuel-air explosive 'toy' cannon. Possibly suited for intra- and inter-cubicle warfare. They also have a kit available./p& gt;

  4. Worked very well for me on Anyone Try The Digimac MediaBridge? · · Score: 2

    I have the Philips Vesta Pro (pcvc680k) camera...

    I installed the digimarc software, held the pic (wired mag) up to the camera as was about to reach around to focus it, point it in the right direction, etc...

    and BING! The proggy caught the mark in about half a second, and sent my browser to the appropriate page.

    I was impressed by the speed. And it didn't need to see the whole image. 'cept it's annoying to have to have the camera focussed on 5" all the time. (Actually, mine will work even when focussed at infinity, but much slower).

  5. Broadband netpliance is coming on Netpliance Ban I-Opener Mods · · Score: 1

    I sent this email to netpliace a while back. Interesting reply:

    Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2000 10:57 AM
    To: sales@netpliance.net
    Subject: ethernet?

    I would buy a netpliance that had a 10/100Base-T jack in the back, and was able to be configured to use proxies for web and email access (or DHCP-enabled).

    The reply:

    Stay tuned to the website. We are working on a broadband device for later this year.

    Thanks for your query,
