Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out... - Greg Lato

Madness? THIS. IS. FAX CAT. - Mike Nayyar
Well 452 likes is the record, hmm I think that is pushing it. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Awesome. - Alex Scoble
this is underfaksink at its worzt - Petr Buben
Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" .. - Petr Buben
Ah, OK, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :] - Petr Buben
OMGosh, just 23 more likes to beat this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/imified... ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Freemor, yes very cute! :-D - Kol Tregaskes

that's why is called a cat scan and not a cat fax. - Phil Maxwell
oh ... a scan. not fax?! .... it looked to me like she was faxink - Petr Buben
Just 5 more likes needed. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier. - Bob Blunk
Fax, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Ok, over the top now. - Greg Guitarbuster
Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes). - Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little - Steve C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What? - Kevin Pedraja
LOL, Kevin. - Kol Tregaskes
i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Ey, it would be a tad warm on there, especially after a long working day. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Caption which needs to be said aloud: Uh Ohz, I'm totally FAXED! - sofarsoShawn

Can I import my entire Google Reader subscription to a private group, or just shared items? Or create an OPML file and add it to a private group?
You can very easily get the RSS feed for an entire folder within your GoogleReader. I have a room full of these made from people's bundles: I brought the bundle into GReader, and then made the folder public in google reader, and then grabbed the RSS feed from that linked page. http://friendfeed.com/guruvy-... You could also just do the bundle RSS feed too. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Thanks - I’m getting there but having a problem. Here is my public feed (NonProfit Social Change Blogs) http://www.google.com/reader... - Christine Dattilo
Chrstine, I've found the feeds from Google Reader subscriptions don't turn out too nice in FF. So I've manually added my favourite feeds I have in GReader using the original RSS link. It took a while but the results are far better. - Kol Tregaskes
I try to use Custom RSS/Atom to add it to my group and I get an error. I have no problem importing this feed into NetNewsWire. - Christine Dattilo
Also, if you use this: http://code.google.com/p... you'll get more images imported than normal. - Kol Tregaskes
Being that there are about 70 feeds - can I somehow get an OPML file into FF? - Christine Dattilo
Koi - I’ll try that, feedbuster. Thanks and I’ll let you know if it works for me. - Christine Dattilo
Christine, is that shared items (i.e items you've selected to share) or just a feed in GReader? If the former how about adding GReader as a service in the group? - Kol Tregaskes
Christine, yes you can export all your feeds for you GReader account. Select Manage Subscriptions (bottom left of the screen) and then Import/Export. - Kol Tregaskes
opml would be sweet - mike "glemak" dunn
OK - I still am getting not a valid feed:The Atom feed I’m getting from Greader looks like this http://www.google.com/reader... Does it need to end in xml? - Christine Dattilo
It does not validate either. Just tried that. - Christine Dattilo
It is just a “Public” feed in Greader. I want to import it into FF as RSS - Christine Dattilo
I didn't really see the trouble with this method - did you check out the room that I have up? Those are just from the Atom Feed link like on the page you sent us to, Christine. If you want them prettier, you can add that link as the feed link in something like this (which I use to import my blog) - So try this link for your GReader stuff out:... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
If you just copy the above feed-buster link and add it as a Custom RSS/ATOM in your services Christine you should have what you want. I like to import mine like this with descriptions as comments. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
and just for the sake of argument and doing it, I updated my room to use the feed-buster, so have another look: http://friendfeed.com/guruvy-... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Rob - YEAH! It worked. I tried so many ways. This is what I did, and I don’t know why it finally worked. I clicked the feed-buster link you made, then let it go to NetNewsWire (feedreader). Asked for the Feed URL and copied it into Custom RSS/Atom. When I copied directly it would not work. - Christine Dattilo
Nor would the feed validate. But when I had NetNewsWire create a Feed URL from the link you gave me - it validated and FF accepted it. Thanks so much for taking the time to convert my feed. I love FF! and you:) - Christine Dattilo
:-) Thanks! You have to Love Ivan Zuzak http://friendfeed.com/izuzak too, he's the one who created the feedbuster. - guruvan (Rob Nelson) from PeopleBrowsr
Sending subscriber love his way. The ingenuity here on FF is amazing. Thanks again. - Christine Dattilo
thanks Christine and Rob. feeling the love :). let me know if the feed-buster service isn't working out for you or you need any other help with importing stuff into FF. btw, i'm working on a new service that will enable automatic importing of OPML-listed feeds into FF. :) any wishes or suggestions regarding this new service? - Ivan Zuzak
Ivan - cool do you anticipate the feeds within opml to be concatinated or will they maintain their individual streams? - mike "glemak" dunn
thanks mike! i'm going for maintaining their individual streams. the probable solution will be to create a new (private) FF group for the feeds, and then import them one by one, each as a Custom RSS/ATOM feed service. as you suggest, another solution would be to use a service like Jumbra (http://www.jumbra.com/) to merge all the feeds into a single feed and the do the import only once.... more... - Ivan Zuzak
ivan - agreed i think the first solution would be best and awesome - following now so i can track your progress - no pressure though :) - mike "glemak" dunn
Ivan, ever complete the OPML import? I've sniffed around a bit & believe it might not currenlty be possible w/ FF APIs, due to lack of an API to create imaginary friends... true, or is that old info? - Wade Dorrell
Hi Wade! Unfortunately not, but it's on the top of my TODO list. :) In the meantime, you can check out a Yahoo Pipe which Lucio (http://friendfeed.com/cantorjf) made - http://friendfeed.com/friendf.... His Pipe combines all the feeds in the OPML file into a single feed which you can then import into FF more easily. Yeah, I know, it's... more... - Ivan Zuzak

Oh man! Pictures!! - Yolanda
Jeff, do you mess with any emulation, or are you strictly an old-school, real hardware kinda guy? :P - Tim Hoeck
Erotic. - Pete Delucchi
Tim yes im down with the emulation as well :) have an atari emulator on my pc and my cell phone. - (jeff)isageek
I still have mine and about 12 games, and play them every so often. qbert and the tank game are my favorites - clarke thomas

My cousin had one. I remember some of the games, but I have no idea what they're called. Brings back a bunch of memories... - Vincent X
love this - Arjun from twhirl
I rolled over Missile Command - that's OLD OLD school. :) - Great Scott!
Yars Revenge was my game of choice. I miss my old Atari. - John Ford
Loved playing Home Run. - Mike Reynolds
Will anybody admit to buying and playing the godawful E.T?! - TDavid
@Abby that was Adventure in all its blocky castle glory, yup. - TDavid
Used to love Adventure with the keys and dragons. I never had Asteroids but my friends did. Never quite got the hang of it. I would accelerate too much and end up zooming diagonally across the screen out of control. - Barak B
I loved Pitfall Harry. And even broke the score where you can send in a picture of the screen and they'll give you a patch. but dang my mom, she wouldn't take a pic of the screen so no patch for me. It was devestating! - Jason Shultz from twhirl

I love classic games. I still have an original Nintendo to play Mario:) - Rob Cairns
I still have an Atari but I haven't touched it in years. I'm not sure if it still works. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to hooking it up again. - jenali

zeroinfluencer
Tagging Feeds: What about the option to Tag feeds so they are easier to find in the FF ecosystem? This would open up the option for subscribing to Tags and thus aggregate across many feeds at once.
So, Tag clouds for quick 'n' easy identification of a feeds contents, would be a nice feature. - zeroinfluencer

Supermarket generates piezoelectric power in parking lot - http://www.engadget.com/2009...
Supermarket generates piezoelectric power in parking lot
"Remember that piezoelectric road prototype we saw late last year? Looks like someone (besides us) thought it was a good idea. According to The Daily Mail, a Sainsbury's supermarket in Gloucester, UK (you've never been there), has installed kinetic plates in the parking lot that use the weight of shopper's cars to pump a series of hydraulic pipes, which in turn drive a generator. The system is said to generate up to 30kw of energy an hour -- or enough to power the store's checkouts. And if that weren't enough, the store is also harvesting rainwater and heating it (during the summer, at least) with solar panels. The next in this store's "eco-friendly evolution?" Might we suggest Soylent in the deli? We hear the "green" stuff is particularly good." - Jeff P. Henderson from Bookmarklet
This is the stupidest 'green' idea I have seen yet! Don't the imbeciles that run the grocery store realize that they are actually stealing energy form their customers to power their store! That's right, everyone that drives over their 'generator' is paying. The energy is not free! It is coming from the gasoline in the cars that drive over this contraption. - Jeff P. Henderson
But surely they would be driving there anyway, right? I mean, I presume they aren't being forced to drive out of their way to run over the generator, so I wouldn't call it stealing. Possibly indirectly promoting the use of cars, which could be counter-productive, but "stealing"? - Grey Drane from BuddyFeed
Yes, it's stealing any way you look at it. The customers are unknowingly contributing 30KWh of power to the store as they drive over the plates. That energy comes from the gasoline in their cars. This is a very inefficient way to generate electricity anyway. Buying power from a coal powered plant is much more efficient as well as being more environmentally friendly. - Jeff P. Henderson
I'm afraid you still have to convince me of that. Do you know for a fact, for example, that they aren't passing their cost savings on to their customers in some way? Even if only by enabling them not to raise prices when they might otherwise have to. - Grey Drane from BuddyFeed
your assuming driving over the plates makes your car more inefficent which I agree it probably is. Could also be very annoying. Sounds like lots of judder bars to me so makes people slow down then speed up causing more inefficency. - CJPhoto
And if we assume, for the sake of argument, that the system isn't encouraging more driving, then how is it less efficient and less green than buying coal-generated power? It's taking energy that would have been expended anyway and doing something else with it where nothing would have been done before. - Grey Drane from BuddyFeed
CJPhoto: Possibly, but that seems like a marginal effect at best to me, and I would think that the system could be designed to minimize any change in driving experience. - Grey Drane from BuddyFeed
In fact, based on the diagram, it looks like the plates are actually underneath a layer of asphalt or something, so there really shouldn't be any significant change in fuel efficiency. - Grey Drane from BuddyFeed
Grey, no it requires your engine to produce a little more power when driving over the bump, which burns more gas and emits more exhaust. An auto with a gasoline engine is around 15-20% efficient (fuel to wheel), then you have to take into consideration the inefficiencies of the mechanism at converting the motion to electricity. Coal power plants operate in the 30-50% efficiency range. - Jeff P. Henderson
Grey, they claim to be generating 30KWh of electricity. That energy has to come from somewhere. Remember conservation of energy from high school physics? - Jeff P. Henderson
The only place that this device might make sense is at the bottom of a hill where you want to dissipate energy to stop your car. But then Prius drivers would complain because it would be robbing energy from their regenerative breaking system. - Jeff P. Henderson
Jeff: I didn't say the energy was coming from nowhere, and yes, OK, some of the car's kinetic energy will be expended to push the plates down, rather than moving the car forward, meaning a marginal increase in fuel consumption to maintain a constant speed, but surely that effect is negligible compared to the output of the system, isn't it? Given that the car was traveling that direction anyway. I wouldn't recommend driving a car out of its way to generate this electricity, of course. - Grey Drane
Yes, but it is still getting it's energy from the car in a very inefficient manner. As I stated, it would make more sense to generate the electricity elsewhere at a much higher efficiency. The other issue I have with this concept is that I have read about several proposals to build these devices into public roads. The people proposing them do not understand that the energy is not free and is in fact being taken from the cars that drive over the device. - Jeff P. Henderson
"surely that effect is negligible compared to the output of the system, isn't it?" No the device extracts 30KWh of energy (actually more if you account for the inefficiencies of the device in converting motion to electricity) from all of the cars that drive over it. It may be small for each car, but what if all of the public roads were paved with these devices? Would you be happy... more... - Jeff P. Henderson
Well, if it cut my fuel efficiency in half, no, obviously that wouldn't make much sense, but do you know for a fact that's what the drop in efficiency would be? Can you site sources that support a claim like that? Because I would have thought the reduction in fuel efficiency would be more on the order of fractions of a MPG. And that I would be OK with if it meant savings and/or environmental benefits elsewhere. - Grey Drane
Even driving on soft tires only reduces fuel efficiency by about 5-10% (so 1--2 MPG in your 20MPG example). Yes, that ends up being a lot over the course of a year, considering that the tires will be soft everywhere you drive, but presumably, even in public roads, there would only be certain areas where this system would be installed. - Grey Drane
Grey, you are probably correct that the reduction in fuel economy would be on the order of 5-10%, not 50%. I was just throwing out a number to make a point. So you would be OK with giving up 5% of your fuel economy to let someone else benefit from it? I wouldn't. The real issue in my mind still continues to be that this method of power generation is completely inefficient. I don't know... more... - Jeff P. Henderson
OK, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, because I don't know enough about how the system works to argue the numbers anymore. But hypothetically, yes, I would be willing to sacrifice a 5% decline in fuel efficiency *in short bursts*, and so as a fairly small fraction of my total driving time, if the net gain from *all* of my car's kinetic energy was greater than that *marginal* loss in fuel efficiency. - Grey Drane
It seems to me you keep focusing on the *overall* efficiency of the car engine and comparing that to the efficiency of coal, when it's only the marginal decrease in efficiency that really matters to the analysis, since the system is generating power from the car's *total* kinetic energy, the vast majority of which would have been generated by the car anyway. - Grey Drane
Yeah I have been there actually, but this wasn't there then. Hopefully it sucks more energy than is put into it from the difference in energy between driving over it and normal roads - Phill Price
I doubt that people will notice that a little bit of their power has been taken as they enter the carpark. They will just hit the accelerator a bit harder and get over the bump. The problem with this system in my view is that it is using petrol to generate electricity and so, while a cost saving for the store, is not a green feature. Would a row of wind turbines not be slightly kinder on the environment? - John Cooper
Gray, "if the net gain from *all* of my car's kinetic energy was greater than that *marginal* loss in fuel efficiency" This is not possible! The First Law of Thermodynamics dictates that you can not get more energy out of a system than you put into it. - Jeff P. Henderson
Phill, "Hopefully it sucks more energy than is put into it from the difference in energy between driving over it and normal roads" You are describing a perpetual motion machine which can not exist. Please go read up on the First Law of Thermodynamics! - Jeff P. Henderson
The first law of thermodynamics, an expression of the principle of conservation of energy, states that energy can be transformed (changed from one form to another), but it can neither be created nor destroyed. Alternatively: The law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant. A consequence of this law is that energy cannot be... more... - Jeff P. Henderson
Yes, Jeff. I know this. Let me try one last time to explain myself. Our hypothetical car already has a certain amount of kinetic energy as it travels over our hypothetical road or parking lot. And to produce that kinetic energy requires a certain amount of fuel. This is our baseline that exists regardless of whether we have this piezoelectric plate power generation system or not. If we... more... - Grey Drane
Again, this assumes that the car would be traveling over this piece of road or parking lot with or without the power generation system. - Grey Drane
Grey, I agree 100% with everything you said until I got to "generate more energy by this plate system than the energy generated by the *marginal* increase in fuel consumption." Unless I am misunderstanding you, are you saying that the energy value of the electricity generated is greater than the energy value of the incremental increase in fuel consumption due to driving over the plates? If we apply the 1st law, it would be equal minus any inefficiencies in the plate power generation system, no? - Jeff P. Henderson
Umm, not piezolelectric unless they have some quartz crystals stuffed in there somewhere. - tom murphy
Tom, Yea the article is kind of misleading. The headline says piezoelectric, but the actual mechanism is some sort of hydraulic system, but a piezoelectric system would provide the functrion. - Jeff P. Henderson
OK, I don't know what else I can say. Yes, you've understood what I'm saying, and yet you still insist on equating the extra fuel consumed with the energy the plate system is receiving. But isn't it the _total_ "kinetic" energy from the car the plate system is receiving? Not the incremental increase in fuel consumed? I really don't understand why you insist on ignoring the car's total kinetic energy, which isn't being generated by the incremental increase in fuel alone. Am I missing something? - Grey Drane

I have an idea to link users @replies from Twitter which are imported here - providing the user has imported their twitter account - to the actual FriendFeed account. So when you click on the @reply for instance @profitbaron the link will go to http://www.friendfeed.com/profitb...
This would require 'user verification' i.e. using your Twitter password to facilitate this as I've seen other users linking to the Twitter account - to ensure they go to the correct account. - Nicholas James
I think this would stop people getting annoyed with the @replies being imported here and it would make them useful for instance if I keep @replying to a user then I can follow them on here incase they've got more interesting content i.e Digg Content, GReader etc which they may not be sending to Twitter. - Nicholas James

Most of these newspapers are getting 30% more then what they get from their online edition (which tend to be free). Would you pay to read the online edition of newspaer? - Paul from twhirl
far too much - Michael W. May
Amazon seems to be working under the assumption that they are the only ones who can deliver the paper in this way. I'm sorry, when did the Kindle replace the cellphone/smartphone/iPhone/Blackberry/etc, netbook, notebook, PSP, name any number of portable net enabled devices here. Sure, they've got some perks going for them, but seriously... those are monopoly numbers. - Michael W. May
Paul, the whole Kindle DX and newspaper subscription business model says yes, people will pay for the "online" edition. I know (or at least hope) the "Kindle Edition" has something more than those paper's online editions. But is it worth the price of subscription and a $500 device? I for one say no way. Especially in the economic climate of the times. - Jared B. Luther
"I can't see how an industry that's haemorrhaging money can subsidise a new-fangled tech product in order to lure people back to subscribing for something they are forced to publish for free online anyway," said Gizmodo's Wilson Rothman. - That about sums it up for me right there. - Nick
I'm not arguing that Amazon is right. They are doing what every good business does filling a need and attempting to charge what the market will allow. Will it work I doubt it. Not as long as I can read the same newspaper online for free. From what I read the Kindle DX is aimed also at textbooks and documents also. - Paul from twhirl
"It, along with the Washington Post and the Boston Globe, will offer consumers a steep discount on the Kindle if they buy a long term subscription and there is no home delivery in their area." -- So i can't even use it to buy the Globe as I live in the Boston area.
