Comment Zoodles: A safe kid mode (Score 1) 338

by Bitcrusher (#41655567) Attached to: Ask Slashdot: Best Linux Game For Young Kids?
I'd highly recommend Zoodles, though from what I see on their current page Linux is not supported:
http://www.zoodles.com/en-US/home/marketing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm0-ofngVEA
I know it can run on Linux though (I think it's using Adobe Air), as a friend of mine set it up on a Ubuntu machine for his 2½ year old.

Zoodles (as I remember it) has both games with shapes, numbers and colors etc, and a videoportal that includes Sesame Street videos from YouTube, learning them to count and the alphabet.

coondoggie writes NASA is working on some difficult renovations to reinvigorate its 70-meter-wide 'Mars antenna.' The antenna, a key cog in NASA's Deep Space Network, needs about $1.25M worth of what NASA calls major, delicate surgery. The revamp calls for lifting the antenna — about 4 million kilograms of finely tuned scientific instruments — to a height of about 5 millimeters so workers can replace the steel runner, walls and supporting grout."

Websites That Don't Need to Be Made Anymore 161

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there is a finite number of social networking or selling websites that the world needs. Here is a collection of the eight kinds of websites that absolutely don't need to be made anymore. I'd add dating sites and anybody who uses pop-up ads myself, but I think that would eliminate half the Web.
