tofu is an oddly named, but extremely useful text reader for osX. It breaks the text into columns exactly as tall as the window. To navigate, you simply shift columns. Far better than vertical scrolling. I've read several books on my powerbook, and I've found that I prefer it to paper when reading in bed at night (no need to have a light on being the primary benefit)

I have nothing to do with this software. I chanced across it, and I'm surprised at how useful it has proved to be.

Here is a screenshot from the store. Too bad Rush blows donkeynuts.

Can you spot the subtle differences?

In Just a Geek you mentioned that you might be Buddhist if you had the patience for it. I'm curious whether you've checked out any

I still want to see his take on "Strawberry Shortcake". ;)

There is a GMail notifier program for mac. It sits in your menu bar, and also integrates with Growl if you have it.

Speak and Spell came out in 1978. This is about as plain an example of "prompt user, wait for reply, respond" as you can get. Is MS claiming they came up with this concept before 78?

Apple's iDisk offering is, or at least once was, WebDAV. Also incorporates quotas and is multi-user capable. Allows them to give nice hooks to publishing directly from iMovie and iPhoto, for example.

Sorry, I don't know exactly how they do it; but I do know that when it was announced (in '99?) there was some discussion about how Apple was accomplishing it. And you could probably reverse-implement their implementation in a few hours of poking.

For that matter, I think SpyMac uses the same thing.

Well, hell- if you can get an Alienware all LANned up (don't even get me started on the crazy screens) for only $5/hour, these little LAN businesses will surely die....

just like Lemmiwinks.

...compiler on Macs as it's not a great compiler on x86. Here's a test I did recently where MSVC can produce code that can easily be about 100 times faster than gcc. So I'd be interested to see what happens with the same code on Macs. I have gcc but I don't have codewarrior. So if someone could run that test for me and post the results I'd be interested.

There can be only one.

I'm betting you don't have a cell phone that has Bluetooth, otherwise how could you have left Jonas Salling off your list?

Then again, it would be a handy program to have if you're expecting a knock on your door from a cops' battering ram.

Heard of the undelete command? How about Norton Unerase or RunTime's GetDataBack?

Even if you did a low level format, it's not hard for a lab technition to recover the data. You'd need something that wrote random data to the entire disk multiple times, not something you could do if they were at your door.

Now a self destructing laptop on the other hand would prevent data recovery.

When there is lots of aurora, the ionospheric reflection of radio is also perturbed. Read this description of the week from the RF point of view. In summary, the High Frequencies (3-30MHz) lose out, but he Very High Frequencies (30-300Mhz) gain. In particular, the 6 meter (50MHz) ham band showed some interesting reflections. For reference, that's right around tv Channel 2 in the US. Imagine not only being able to see Aurora, but sense them with your own radio and talk to someone by bouncing radio waves off of the aurora!

VA2VYZ has some nice aurora pictures from Quebec.

According to Plato's account it was Solon, the Athenian statesman and poet whom History says lived 600 years after the Trojan War, the one who brought from Egypt the story of Atlantis.

Does this remind anyone of the 24 parody "60" on Conan O'Brien?

I use OsiriX http://homepage.mac.com/rossetantoine/osirix/Index 2.html on my Mac daily at the Hospital. It's the best Mac OS X DICOM solution available. What's more, it's free and GPL! Spock

I have an old Power Mac G4 as a media server, that is connected to my TV through DVI. For audio, I have an M-Audio Transit USB, that gives 5.1 channel optical audio output, which is connected to my receiver. For storage I have a firewire enclosure with 1TB of space.

Pictures

Yes, judging from the web page, the pictures appear to be in DICOM format. If so, I highly recommend OsiriX, an extremely cool, free, open source (GPL), DICOM viewer and PACS workstation/server that happens to be Mac only.

There are other programs that will open DICOM files, like the NIH's ImageJ. There are other cool, free medical image viewers for Mac and other systems (MRIcro comes to mind). And there are professional tools that spank OsiriX's ass, but cost over $70,000. But I have seen nothing for a reasonable price that is as good and as easy to use as OsiriX. Make sure you give it a look!

Dude, seriously, all these guys that are giving you crap are just a bunch of Mac snobs. They've been working with their computers so long that they don't remember what it was like to feel helpless when encountered by a strange file. Sure you could've done a little research, but that's not your fault.

What is the Apple section for anyway? Is it just for a bunch of flamers to sit around bitching? Or are we here to actually help the Mac user community grow a little?

Try Graphic Converter, it should be in your Applications Folder or Utilities folder. If that fails, OsiriX has an open source, OSX compatible viewer.

Sorry about my compatriots here, we'll try and be more tolerant next time.

Many programs will view DICOM files these days, even the most excellent and venerable ImageMagik. Osirix is an excellent tool for visualising and analysing medical images, volumetric data, and will let you manipulate the data, view in 3D and all sorts of funky things.

Actually, I had to use PFS:FirstChoice

Although, I really liked Appleworks.

Shut The Fox Up ;-)

They're the best at manipulating your mind, maybe, but I wouldn't put too much faith in what Fox News has to say.

I just read your blog, and I didn't read one legitimate point in the whole thing. It sounded nice, but it sounded a lot like Bush explaining what Tribal Sovereignty means in the 21st century. You didn't seem to make a point, you just kinda rambled on.

So you MUST be smoking something that is really good. What is it? It can't be 100% Christ love, because I love Christ too, and he doesn't get me that high.

Here, I'll take a quick quote from your blog:

Another possible source of our Rights is society, but this reasoning is flawed for the same reasons government granting them is. If society grants our Rights then we must assume that they are only safe for as long as the majority wants them to be. We could actually have our very lives voted away from us.

It was here that you were making the point that God gives us our rights. You are making the point that God is currently in control of our rights. How can God be pulling the strings of the government, and the constitution and law, and still give EVERYONE free will. Not most of us, not some of us, but all of us. That is apparently God's greatest gift, so if he gives us that, how can he possibly control us. That would mean that he hasn't given us free will. It can't happen both ways.

I know how people answer this question, and it really is bullshit. People usually answer it with the statment that God doesn't control people, people just do the will of God. People do what they think God wants them to do, and thus totally negates what you said about God controlling rites, it's the people creating the rights, and people that are flawed. Secondly, if God is really working through people, and people are doing his will, how do you explain the patriot act? It is be definition giving up rights. Does God want the government to be able to throw you into a jail in Cuba, and never ever give you fair trial?

If so, that's one wacky God. Now, I know I'm being an ass here. I'm coming off as rude bastard. I also kinda understand what you are saying. I am a Catholic myself, although I personally believe in Church and State being seperate. But, you really shouldn't shrug off this message, and you need to seriously sit down and rethink your whole entire view on this subject, and keep into mind that we all have free will, ALL OF US.

Will people stop Tiume is Running Out : Muse streaming videos from Mac?

if you watch the press conference starting at about 13:23, Bush is going through a list of names of Al Qaeda terrorists they have caught and he stumbles over the name of Ramzi Binalshibh, eventually calling him Ramzi Alshibh. He jokingly apologizes to Ramzi if he got his name wrong and then, at 13:32, he looks down and to his right intently for about 2 seconds, like he is listening to something, and looks up and says "Binalshibh, excuse me."

Here's a new LINK for the troll-bait!

iPod Your BMW. Apple has links to pages on BMW's site showing how they're integrated as well. Says Apple, this is "The first seamless integration of iPod and automobile."

Others had made similar homebrew iPod and non-iPod solutions before (and iPod and non-iPod after) Apple/BMW's solution.

At this point, it doesn't look like Apple has any official plans to unveil further integration of Apple technology with automobiles. Of course, Apple almost always "does not comment on unreleased products."
