    [quote]post them someplace "unslashdotable."[/quote]

    I didn't think such a place existed.

  2. Re:iText and/or JFreeReport on PDF Writers? · · Score: 1
    iText is great - I just started using it myself about a week ago in one of my projects (see link in sig) and it took me no time at all to output some nice PDFs.

  4. Re:Dumb Question... on Who is the Best Registrar? (take 2) · · Score: 1
    Buy a domain with any registrar, then do the DNS hosting for free with Zoneedit.com - they will route the http requests to you AND they will forward all mail sent to your domain to any email address you choose. I use them for 5 domains and heartily recommend them.

    From the slashdot page - "The Fine Print: The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. We are not responsible for them in any way." So slashdot covered their own @$$e$

  6. Re:Mailinator is Cool on Which Webmail Service Do You Use? · · Score: 1
    Mailinator isn't quite what the original poster is looking for, but it *IS* very cool. I wrote a free program to pull emails from Mailinator.com and send them to any other email address. If interested, more details and the download for Nator are here

    I use Noccc http://nocc.sourceforge.net easy to setup, easy to use. Brian

  8. Who emails 1/3 of the code? on Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak · · Score: 1
    They emailed 1/3 of the code? Seems odd. Why would you email it?

    Have you released this "graphical mp3 juke-box player (like for drunk people at parties)"? Is it available online to try out? Sounds interesting - I'd like to check it out.

  10. Rip the MP3s and send it to them! on New Anti-Swap CDs Hit Shelves · · Score: 1

    How about someone rip the MP3s off the CD then anonymously send (via snail mail) them a CDR with the ripped MP3s on it?

  11. How about a GC to buy her legal copies? on RIAA PR Efforts Examined · · Score: 1

    Now the poor girl has no MP3s? Someone should raise money to buy her a gift certificate to her local music store to buy legal CDs of all the music she had to delete.

  12. Re:The Sadness . . . on The Last Days Of Atari - In Full Color · · Score: 1
    >It's so sad to see all of those favorites collected in one spot like that.

    Why is it sad? You should be happy that they are in the hands of a collector who will preserve them and not destroy them by making MAME machines.

    If you love the classic arcade games that much, go get yourself one (though they are like Lay's - you can't have just one). You can find some REALLY good deals on them if you know where to look. I now have 20 (give or take) full games and LOTS of parts. My garage is my personal arcade :)

  13. Re:why is he famous? on The Last Days Of Atari - In Full Color · · Score: 3, Insightful
    He is famous in the arcade video game collecting world. He has done more to preserve old arcade games and related material than probably anyone else (Well, except Al Kossow maybe). For further info, check out the Google archives of rec.games.video.arcade.collecting.

  14. Re:Build your own arcade. on The Last Days Of Atari - In Full Color · · Score: 2, Insightful
    No, he didn't build his own *arcade*. He built his own arcade game or video arcade game (actually, it's a MAME machine). An arcade is a place that houses arcade games - AKA a gameroom.

    My garage is my arcade and I have 20 arcade games in it: http://thebrokenjoystick.com/pictures/gameroom

  15. Re:[OT] Why tinyurl? on Spammer Hangout's Membership Roster Left Exposed · · Score: 1
    Sorry, using tinyurl.com is a habit for me. It's no trouble since I have the quicklink on my toolbar that creates tinyurl for whatver page is showing. I didn't realize tinyurl was frowned upon on slashdot. (I rarely post). Won't happen again. Here is the full link to the Nator info:

    Version 0.2 should be out in a few days.

  16. Re:Mailinator on Spammer Hangout's Membership Roster Left Exposed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If you like Mailinator, check out a program I recently wrote called Nator - it uses Mailinator as a backend and it can scrape the email on mailinator.com and send it to your home email address. It also does some cool things with random usernames. Details here. It's free, written in Java, and is open source (or will be once we're out of the beta phase) Brian

  17. Re:CD Sculptures? on Slashback: Folding, Cursing, Exporting · · Score: 1

    You can make CD sculptures by using Coinstruction sets - just use CDROMs instead of coins. I made one with AOL CDs. Turned out great. I'm going to hang it above my jukebox in my gameroom.

  18. Re:Free content for all! on Would Free Music Sell Cars? · · Score: 1

    Sony abandoned the emarker in September 2001. Cool idea though. Brian
