Jaguar Pizza and Other Nerdy Things
Snaggy writes "Nitrozac and I wanted to celebrate the release of Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar in geeky style, so we designed the ultimate Jaguar pizza! Here's what we did, and how you can make one too...
The Jaguar Genius Pizza! enJoy!" If you are the kind of person who thinks this is a good idea, you'll probably want to go to "100 Minutes of Jaguar" tonight at 10:20 p.m., at an Apple Store near you. I'm going.
Perhaps these guys should be taking cooking lessons instead of worrying about 100 minutes of jaguar. With knife skills like those shown in the photos he'll be needing to type without fingertips before too long

Orange Crush Rocks. 'Nuff Said.
What were they thinking? That's an even bigger faux pas than showing up tonight at an Apple store with a Thinkpad asking if Jaguar has been ported to x86 yet.
Am I missing something? Is this post really just about somebody making a pizza? If so, I can't wait to upload exciting pictures of me picking lint out of my belly button! How about toasting a bagel! Boy I'm getting excited!
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
Oh how I wish I could be at a Jaguar release party tonight. Unfortunately, the nearest Apple Store is about 400 miles away, and I have to be at training here tomorrow morning to work at the Apple Store they're opening here. So no Jaguar party for me. By the way, that's a gross pizza. You couldn't pay me to eat it :)

While pizza is an acceptable foodstuff for Geeks as defined by paragraph 7.2a of the "Foods to Chow Down On During Intense Coding" clause of the Unified Geek Code, I think the spirit of this pizza violates paragraph 7.3, "Acceptable Foods that Don't F*ck Up My Mouse and Keyboard," as well as paragraph 7.7, "Portable Foods", although I'm sure there's a few of us out there that can one-hand a deluxe slice.
Besides, where's the Jaguar Beer? Can't have pizza without beer! That's against regulation 1.2, "Advanced Sys Admin Slack Off Procedures."
Vos teneo officium eram periculosus ut vos recipero is.
[mind races trying to think of lame joke about them serving 'root' beer with the pizza...]
We had a pizza chain here in Boston back in the '80s (and before, I presume) that did "English pizza". It was a small, thin-crust pizza with a very tangy sauce and a mild white cheddar cheese on top.
It was very yummy. They had a couple of Boston locations, and quite a few others.
However, I find the idea of olives on my pizza to be repugnant.

Well that depends. If you bought 10.1 (either by itself or on a new computer) within the past month or two, you can get an upgrade either for free or for $20 - I'm not quite sure - either way, they mail you a CD, you can't download it.
If you bought 10.1 more than a couple of months ago (or didn't actually buy it), you have to buy the full package. I've seen it various prices, but if you qualify for an educational discount, that's the best way to go, as the full package only costs $69.

What a terrible idea! Cheddar on pizza? I understand you want a jaguar-orange, but can't you just use more orange peppers?
Bleah. Bad food that looks pretty is sooo Windows XP.
How I wish I had the time to install 10.2 this weekend, but alas, I need to paint the new apartment.
and that counts as Stuff that matters?

Worst... story... ever.
hi AC, we did the Big X last time.... with our OS X Anniversary pizza.
Look, I know Utah isn't exactly the center of culture. I mean, we've got weird liquer laws. We've got jackasses in the southern end that like to marry their 14 year old cousins - all 5 of them.
But why punish us and not give us an Apple store, Apple? It might make Novell consider making apps for someone other than, well, they're #1 competitor.

I must say, that is so geeky it rocks!
For those who don't know:
There is nothing wrong with Cheddar on a pizza as long as the Chedder is mixed with Mozerella or a similar cheese as Chedder won't melt properly elsewise on the pizza.
I normally put some chidder on my pizza along with the mozzerlla when I make it.
I give it 10 thumbs up!!!!!!

Updates are $20 for computers bought between July 17 and August 24; getting the upgrade is a bit tricky since the upgrade form is accessible only via a tab that is almost unreadable thanks to the !@#$@#$ Jaguar skin "theme" on the OS X pages at www.apple.com.
For computers bought on or after August 24, things could get sticky. At our local (college) computer store, you might not get Jaguar with hardware sold after August 24, and the store manager types are really pissed that the customer in this case has to do ther upgrade drill mentioned above, rather than having something like the 10.1 upgrade "sleeve" to hand out with the new hardware. If Apple has any brains, they will start doing something like that in all sales locations, otherwise they could get a ton of hardware ordered in early August returned.
On a vaguely related note, my dual 1GHz PowerMac, which was ordered on 8/13 and quoted to ship in 3-5 business days took 8 business days to get to shipping (Jaguar will be pre-loaded). This may or may not be an early indication that deliveries could be slow on this hardware, although the online Apple Store never updated the availability of this hardware on the web site.

Will be? Are you still waiting for yours? I haunted the local CompuUSA for a mere three days until they got their second shipment in (one day late). The 1gig I got had Jaguar loaded.
I wonder if the "update" is a regular boxed version. Then I could sell it on ebay. Heh. Except I don't want to bother. And it would probably be the "coupon version" anyhow.
Not like it's anything special for me; I've been running it for almost two weeks on my Powerbook. (I downloaded 6C115 from the developer site.) I've only restarted three times, and the third was to activate the Wacom drivers I installed so I could try Ink.

I remember this place:
It was Ruggles in Harvard Square.
They had cheddar cheese on top of a whole wheat crust and some other bizarre toppings too.
I personally preferred Mr. & Mrs. ___ for burgers,
, Wei Ta for chinese, and Iruna for Spanish, esp. their garlic soup and their white sangria. And Toscanini's for ice cream... mmm... ginger snap molasses ice cream... mmm...
And the Orson Welles theater. And the Harvard Square cinema before it became a Star cinema, etc.
A careful reading of my post does suggest that I am still waiting, since the box only just got *to* shipping (i.e., FedEx ground). I've now got a compulsive tick where I check its shipping status within Fedex every hour or so. It departed the FedEx sort facility in Sacramento on 08/24/2002 at 04:47. Everybody claims it will have Jaguar pre-loaded.
I'm not really sure how they're doing this. I have to send in for the update for some other recently arriving boxes. The local store here doesn't seem to think that they will end up playing any role in this. (Which is part of the thing that pisses them off, since they *know* that some people will just bypass them for the on-line Apple Store for their current stock that does not ship with Jaguar today. It's basically a college bookstore place, and they had to pre-order their dozens of iBooks and and PowerBooks to have stock on hand for the big Fall rush, and it's looking a lot like dead inventory at the moment due to the OS update fiasco.)
