  1. A movie used this concept... on Making Ice Without Electricity · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Was called The Mosquito Coast, with Harrison Ford. He played this semi-crackpot inventor that went into the rainforest in South America and built one of these machines that made ice without electricity.

  9. Slashdot gets mentioned on Wired's 2004 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    In October, a hitherto-unknown Hawaiian company, Maui X-Stream, rocked the tech world with news of CherryOS, a Mac emulator for Windows PCs that supposedly ran wicked fast and cost only $50. The software was offered as a download, but the stampeding hordes of closet Apple lovers at Slashdot crashed the servers before anyone could get it.

  11. This would have been easy to get around.... on Dead? Hope You Left Someone Your Passwords · · Score: 1

    Most major portals have the ability to recover a forgotten password by putting in a maiden name, or sending the password to the email they signed up with. Now assuming this person had another email acct they signed up with, they could have chosen the lost password feature and seiezed his other email to then get into Yahoo.

  13. a couple thoughts on Griffin RadioSHARK Exceeds Expectations · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't know if I could justify $69+s/h for a hardware device with no way to boost signal reception. If you already have a radio that has stereo out, you can cross connect it to your PC and use this software: Total Recorder. This enables you to schedule and encode the broadcast directly to any number of formats (mp3, aiff, wav, etc). It's only $12. This is from a Windows perspective, but I'm sure there is some Mac software out there that can do this.....but then again, if you listen to certain regularly syndicated radio show, you can snag eps of it from suprnova.org, I do this for Howard Stern.

  14. George Lucas on George Lucas Speaks on Trilogy Changes · · Score: 0, Redundant

  16. NPR had an interesting tidbit on this.... on MGM Purchase Gives Sony An Edge In Disc Format War · · Score: 1
    Audio Here

    One of the things this story brings up is that independent film makers trying to get studios to make their films will have more difficulty due to there being one less studio to shop around to.

    I, for one, welcome our new entertainment overlords.

  20. Re:Bleh on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 1

    This software is VERY cool. Howard Stern has recently returned to Houston from 6am to 10a. Unfortunately I get up at 7:15, out the door by 8 and only have 30mins to listen to him until I get to work. So what I've done is take a normal AM radio, connect the headphone out to the line-in of my soundcard and utilize Total Recorder to record the shwo from 6 to 10. Total Recorder is so cool because it can automatically encode my broadcast to mp3. Then all I have to do is Terminal Service in, scp it to my work and voila. Howard Stern daily mp3. Props to the High Criteria folks, live savers they are.

  21. Played AA since release on On Training, Recruitment Uses For Army Games · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's a cool game and pretty one of the most realistic FPS games I've seen. Some of the unique things about the game:

    * There are official servers run by the Army where you gain "honor" for completing missions and killing people. Negative honor is given by shooting your teammates or civilians. This is a good way to see what kind of people you're playing against.

    * In order to use special guns, or even to become "Special Forces" you must go through extensive training in single player mode and then sometimes even have a minimum honor to use X gun or Y skill. For instance, to become a medic you must sit in a virtual classroom and learn how to perform CPR, treat shock and bandage players. Once you have this certification you can then become a medic in game and stop people's bleeding (if you don't treat a player they sometimes bleed tod eath).

    The AA team just released it's final update for the next year in June, and next year will support driving vehicles and more missions. Overall it's fun and exciting and I recommend it to anyone who likes to play modern day first person shooters. Sometimes it may seem a little slow but you just gotta be patient. Going through the training is boring but it actually does teach you stuff.
