Your iPod is Doomed! Or it can be, it can also be
Zelda'ed if you prefer!
ipodlinux.org has ported Linux to the iPod (for Linux, Windows and Mac) and, once its installed, you can load up all
kinds of good stuff including the aforementioned Doom, as well as the entire
Wiki or use your iPod as a
Gameboy! And all without screwing up your existing music files (though there are no guarantees).

[nytimesfilter] Why is the New York Times
obsessed with

From the followup department: Global dimming?
It stopped.
"We see the dimming is no longer there," said Dr. Martin Wild, a climatologist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and the lead author of one of three papers analyzing sunlight that appear in today's issue of the journal Science. "If anything, there is a brightening."
As always, use bugmenot to bypass registration.

JDoom. Get this. It's a patch for Doom that allows for 3D acceleration, dynamic lighting, free mouse looking, and remapping keys. Works with
ANY version of Doom. Simply Unzip
the file [737k] into your Doom dir and run JDoom.bat (for OpenGL mode). It also supports D3D (I'll explain inside). Some screenshots:
1 2 3. Doom shareware is available
here.
