It's also probably the only one of these (the winners) that I'd buy, so to each his own. How can you go wrong mixing geek culture with drug culture? It's a perfect marriage.
I do sorta like the "soothing green light" one also, but probably not enough to buy one.

But, being a geek, I have an annoying nitpick. The modular plug is for a three-pair cable (RJ-14). Why do a modem cable when broadband is so popular. Most ethernet connections are four-pair (RJ-45).
If you wanted to be retro geeky, use the BNC connector for 10Base-2 (ThinNet).

I for one won't be seen in any of the winner shirts - but i'm all over the "soothing green light" shirt when that becomes available.
and where the fsck is the ad-shirt for Natalie Portman's Hot Grits?
it would have Yakov holding a box of the grits pouring them into his pants saying : "Natalie Portman's Hot Grits : In SOVIET RUSSIA you MOD PARENT UP and ??? Profit!"
i wanted to do this design myself - but i'm as artistic as a dung beetle.

I think so -- because in the Official Rules (we all read them, right?) it said that the entry becomes property of Slashdot (or whoever owns them now -- I forget). So, I believe it would be a violation.

But, if you really want to know, material originally published prior to 1971 belongs to the Albert Einstein Archives at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem [albert-einstein.org]
But if it's unpublished material or material originally published after 1971 or further if it was published in The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, you should contact the Princeton University Press.. [princeton.edu]
I hope this *ahem* clears things up a little...
I don't know if I've ever seen one person who could potentially have so many different requirements to use their image... Especially a DEAD person.. Anyway though I did think that shirt was pretty funny.. I did a peice of artwork with Einstein's image in it, and even though I asked for permission about four months ago, I still have not received word back, so good luck!
