Three From Slashdot

Today we get three nifty items from Slashdot:

  • Fortune designed an experiment: give three geeks US$15,000 and three days to bring a family of four up to date with technology.
  • A contest to breed the oldest mouse. When I first saw the topic heading on Slashdot, I assumed it was about finding the oldest computer mouse. That’d be a nifty contest too.
  • Some writer advocating using vi as your word processor. Where’s the thesaurus?
