We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
About 17 years ago we had a hack called NetBunny that would send the energizer bunny from one lab computer to the next. It ran on classic MacOS. Apparently it was updated to 'NetBunny 2 1/2'.
An OS X port came out called NetBunnyX.
Now I can't find much info on it. But it definitely had the feeling of innocent, kid friendly malware.
Why not ship the OS on a bootable Firewire stick for the the MacBook Pro? That might cost more than a DVD but not more than a DVD + Superdrive. Of course, you would have to invent a firewire stick first.

Yeah bring back the Performa line! 36 models to choose from! Oh, wait, he said "nice".
In the case of Indonesia, the rainforest is being cut illegally to supply China with wood and paper (and hence US bound products). You can't just "replant" an ecosystem like a rainforest because it has a lot of fragile symbiotic relationships. Once its gone, it becomes cattle grazing land (see australia or southern mexico for examples).
This is why Forest Stewardship Council lumber and paper products should be promoted. http://www.fsc.org/
"Theobromine is the major alkaloid in cacao (Theobroma cacao). Caffeine, on the other hand, is only to be found in cacao in very small quantities and theophylline only in trace amounts."
Off topic, but good to know: Cacao beans must be fumigated for pests when they exit their country of origin and when they enter the USA. They must also be fumigated once a year thereafter. Because they remain usable for food products for up to 20 years, your chocolate may have been fumigated dozens of times.
A few companies offer solutions to this problem:
