Look, since it is a pyramid scheme, some people don't get an ipod. Specifically, those who don't go out and get referrals. However, if you join a conga line early enough, like before it hits 40 people, you will actually get your ipod.It's not that hard. Use a disposable email address if oyu are worried about spam, and only get an offer that you would ahve wanted anyway. Not all of us have the kind of money to buy an ipod with cash, so this is a reasonable thing to do.
Wired has shown that this scheme is not disingenous.
Here is the link to the various offers if you want to them yourself. Free ipods - the original offer from Gratis networks MP3 players for free - I like this one as it gives you the option of cash, much better than an ipod in my opinion Grab Free Gear - LCD's, gameboy's, lots of stuff
Here is smartcongalines -they have many various offers for everything from shuffles to playstations and xboxes or mini pc's. This is good for those who are not interested in actively getting referrals, just sign up, and wait. It may take some time, but sooner or later hyou will get ipod or whatever.
Check these out, and remember to read the small print and use your brain. If you are smart, you can benefit from this whole free ipod fad.
Sure it sounds great now to inject someone with the self correcting units, but what happens when they start to replicate out of control? introduce tiny snakes to eat them?
This is a great example of how piracy is ultimately good for music in general. Fans get more opportunities to see their favorite artists live at concerts, they get to buy CD's at a reasonable $1.80, and the artists still make a profit. Ever better, the artists make less money than before, resulting in more good music being produced before the money ruins the talent.
If the robot rates on "feminity", it might rank Oprah higher than a member of the Women's Swedish Swim Team, contradicting every man in the world. Also, there was a study in Discover(I think) that showed that digital "Averaging" of faces produced a face that was stunningly beautiful. However, while an "average" face might be ranked by a robot as beautiful, it might harshly rank offbeat faces that some people like, such as Julia Stiles and Christina Ricci.
It seems in the article that an extensive amount of calculations was necessary to design the network. Ironically, they needed a supercomputer to design a supercomputer.
It is really cool considering that $6,000 is now enough to take on massive projects. How many months would this machine take to render Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within?
I don't think many people would pay in the thousands for a defective lightsaber. What is the use if it doesn't cut? http://www.ucomics.com/boondocks/viewbo.cfm?uc_ful l_date=19990602&uc_comic=bo&uc_daction=X
In other news, the government, to deal with internal organ drug trafficking is now requiring a backdoor on people to make sure the government can quickly and easily check that you are not violating the laws of the day.
But seriously, 128bit encryption with a backdoor is as good as plaintext, but with a false sense of security. requiring a backdoor is worse than banning encryption. Secure communication in the future might involve exchanging jpg's of text as email attachments since carnivore wont pick that up.
I think this could have been prevented by implementing pilotless planes. The technology has been around for years to make 767's fly themselves from Point A to B.
Also, we should not be scared of terrorists, but the US should not interfere with places such as Chechnya, Kosovo, and Israel.
I hope identical towers will be built in place of the destroyed ones. I will be the first to go the roof of the new ones.

A Romanian teenager is a typical movie style villain. Haven't they ever seen Blade?

The truth is, games where yo run around in a maze aren't dead, just now they are known as Doom instead of Pac-Man.

Quick! Port this to linux!
I can see it now:
"Hey, why aren't you rowing?"
"I'm posting to slashdot!"
It shouldn't be a surprise that microsoft is not reliable. Microsoft makes good hardware, but they don't have final fantasy, zelda, mario or sonic.
