  1. Re:How about Umbrella company? on Star Trek Fragrances · · Score: 1

    this has been done. I'd like to see a cosmetic company release a product line under the umbrella company name. Now that would be fun to market.

    Already been done: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/olay/29771/images/29771-hi-Olay_Eye_Definity.jpg I can't believe no one at Olay has seen a Resident Evil movie... Oh wait, maybe I can.

  2. Server-side redirection on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    I've had success using a simple server-side script that simply sets the 'Location:' header to an e-mail URL such as mailto:foo@bar.com. The advantage is that the e-mail address is not in the client-side code at all. Does anyone know if spam bots are able to harvest redirects like this?

  3. Time Machine vs. Previous Versions on Mac Pro, Mac OS X Virtual Desktops Announced at WWDC · · Score: 1

    It's curious that that the tech community seems pretty accepting of Time Machine when just over a month ago every tech blog worth its salt was warning us of the dangers of Vista's Previous Versions. It seems like they do essentially the same thing. --bsiegel

  4. Covering up this info? on MMOG Currency Seller Owns Media Network ? · · Score: 1

    Interestingly the thread I started this afternoon on the Cosmos forums about this was deleted in its entirety when I checked this evening. I find it hard to believe that I was the first to mention it on their forums too, which means that if I wasn't, they've been deleting posts about this for a while.

  5. Re:Atlantis -- antarctica? on Atlantis Found. Again. · · Score: 1

    As I recall, Hitler supposedly believed something like this to be true. As the story goes, Hitler (and others who bought into this tale) believed that many thousands of years ago, an alien race from Aldebaran, far more perfect than the human race with perfectly fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, descended to Earth and settled an island, Atlantis. They began to form a civilization on Earth with their advanced technology and genetically superior population. Supposedly, some geological disaster (as chronicled by Plato) began to sink the island, and the aliens were forced to move. They migrated slowly northward (because supposedly the climate of their home was more like that of the arctic), and settled in the arctic for a few thousand years, until they grew tired of living in the desolate snow, and migrated south into, you guessed it, Germany - their name getting botched by the locals into 'Aryan'. So, at least some of the Nazis, it seems, thought they really were an entirely different race.
