  1. I like this idea on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 1

    I want a Def Leppard IPod with the Union Jack for the color scheme...

  2. Actually, I've had the opposite problem on 2.4GHz-Friendly Phones? · · Score: 1

    Rather than a problem with the phoneinterfering with the WiFi link, I had the opposite issue. Everytime my "Call Waiting Caller ID" signal was triggered on my phone, it would result in a piercing feedback-like screech. This would only occur if my 802.11b router was powered up.

  3. Abused floppy on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In High School, way back when PC-AT's were the norm, a fellow classmate accidentally "stored" his class assignment floppy (5 1/4") in the back of one of those old DOS 2.1 "folder boxes". When he found it a day or so later, it was creased in half along the read window on the disc and the casing had been split in multipla places.

    Not wanting to give up on a semester's worth of programming work, we unfolded it, placed it under a websters unabridged dictionary for a weekend to flatten out the crease and sure enough, it worked just fine...not a single bad sector.

  4. Dummy emails Addresses on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I use not@me.com most frequently. Shorter to type.

  5. HEH! on Osirusoft Blacklists The World · · Score: 1

    There were some definite fatal flaws in a blacklist that posts a "sample" spamtrap (blockme@relays.osirusoft.com) address on their homepage making it public knowledge and still blocks lists where this email address has been subscribed (in most cases maliciously).
