  1. Re:ITunes on Lost Hour-Long Jobs Interview Found · · Score: 1

    He would have wanted it to be "cleaned", the content of the interview changed to reflect how he would like to be remembered. Only then would it be posted on iTunes. Viewing will require a 1-year subscription to iTunes of $99.

  2. Re:clue to easter egg in client? "play wumpus game on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the bot is no longer accepting invitations using the google talk client: "wumpus.game has not yet accepted your invitation to Google Talk."

  3. Ice-nine on When Microbes Ate the Ocean · · Score: 1

    I wonder would this ever be as disastrous as Ice-nine in Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s novel Cat's Cradle? http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=572596

  5. cheese sandwich on Homemade Subliminal CDs · · Score: 1

    Joey's your best friend. You want to make him a cheese sandwich everyday. And you also want to buy him hundreds of dollars worth of pants.

    Slashdot doesn't validate [w3.org]. Taco: Comply with W3C specs!
    You might want to change your sig; looks like slashdot doesnt like being validated - 403 forbidden...

  7. Worked well for me - but some costs are now hidden on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    Ireland did this a couple of months ago. I used it for the same reasons listed by a couple of the posts mentioned - to get a good deal on a new handset. I spend a lot of time outside of the country and was using a pay as you go service. My handset had seen better days. I jumped at the chance to get a new one. The new package cost me Euro100 and let me have 70 of that back for calls. A new handset for 30 quid is super especially as I didnt have to let anyone know the change of number. The downside I have noticed is that I dont know what I'm going to be charged for a call. Irish mobile networks used to all have their own area code 85, 86, and 87; you knew what you were being charged a minute based on the network you were on and what the number you were dialing e.g. calls on same network 20 cent a minute to different network 50 cent a minute.

  8. Opera feature may limit its use on Opera 7.10 Released (First Opera 7.x For Linux) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    One of the really nice features with Opera is you can set a preference so that it identifies itself as IE of Mozilla. This makes browsing the web very easy as you get no errors being thrown about not having a supported browser. This does lead to inaccurate statistics from web servers. Whatever about not getting errors, I cannot set my default browser to Opera yet as there are still some sites which dont work in it e.g. www.ifilm.com. If administrators never see Opera showing up on their logs they are not going to design for it either.

  9. Image from original site on Comparing Sci-fi Starship Sizes · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can see the image discribed in the original post here Beware, there are a few popups from the link though...

  10. data protection on Ethical Dilemmas Related to Technology · · Score: 1

    Where does privacy end; should the contents of email be made available to scan by a government org, phone conversations be tapped, locations monitored and saved. How long can an organisation hold information directly related to you?
    The collection of data tagged to specific people grows daily. IMHO, the removal of personal identifiers would allow large organisations carry out the statistical analysis they 'need' and keep us from the big brother world I think society should fear.
