While 'pablumification' does seem to be a newly made word, the root 'pablum' is a bland children's porridge. The ever-handy Wikipedia has this to say:
_In lower case, the word pablum is often used to describe anything bland, oversimplified and generally unsatisfying, especially a work of literature or speech. This usage is thought to derive from the cereal. Today, the word pablum and the original Latin word pabulum are often used interchangeably. In Canada, pablum remains as a generic reference to any instant baby cereal.
_The phrase 'pablum puking', when used in political speech, is used to describe one who seems to lack the ability to digest simple logic or common sense. For example, someone who holds forth the argument that children should be afforded the freedom to play in traffic could rightly be refered to as a 'pablum puking idiot'...thus, the poster's creation of the word in reference to oversimplification.
There's a magic trick to opening it you know: hold the entire package with one hand and fiercly bang the short end against a table (or similarly sturdy analogue). The pasta strands will be in allignment and keep each other from breaking while busting through the top end of the package. No more unpredictable seams and flying spaghetti (monsters?) everywhere.

When half of my handset is covered with old-skool buttons, I have to squint to watch the mobile pr0n. I mean, uh, the 700 club. Ya...Pat Robertson....
Starbrite makes this already (kinda), it's called the "pPod". It's a program for the Pocket PC which emulates the UI for the iPod by using the touchscreen for all the button and scroll wheel functionality.
Apple lawyers crushed it pretty quickly, but you can still find it floating around...
I think this was my favorite Dreamcast title, with the Sonic-like gameplay and mad trippy graphics. Un-official fansite here: http://www.nightsintodreams.com/
The ironic thing is, everyone who was smoking was fine. The smoking compartment was a reinforced fireproof box originally designed to isolate any incindiary outbreaks. It ended up being the perfect womb.
This reminds me of DARPA's self-healing minefield, where mines communicate with each other and 'hop' to fill any gaps in their net. DARPA's page here: http://www.darpa.mil/ato/programs/SHM/
It's true, active sonar is almost never used by military subs since it's a clear broadcast of the source position. However, for coastal monitoring networks, active sonar is becoming much more common.

We've never seen that word on Slashdot because you've misspelled it. The correct spelling is 'Sisyphean'.
