  1. Re:Mouse Drivers on Apple Announces iTunes 9, "LPs," Video Camera For the iPod Nano · · Score: 1

    Get back in your souped up Delorian and try again. They do and they have for a long time.

  2. One thought on NBC to Create Programs Centered on Sponsors · · Score: 1

    One thought comes to mind when I read this "It's W-W-W-W-WIndows-Ww-w-Windows-Windows/386!"

  3. Re:Taking a long nap on GM Says Driverless Cars Will Be Ready By 2018 · · Score: 1

    Didn't that happen in the late 70s, resulting in a push to change "cruise control" to "speed control"? I seem to remember someone doing that on a freeway in Florida - popped on the cruise control and jumped in the back seat.

  4. iMac. on Is the Dell XPS One Better than the Apple iMac? · · Score: 1

    I'd go with the iMac because of the Unix under the hood. I realise I could do the same with the Dell and a flavor of Linux (and could manage that quite happily), but I find OS X to be the friendliest when it comes to GUI.

  5. Accurate to the minute on Playing With Atomic Clocks At Home · · Score: 1

    I have a master clock system at home comprised of a collection of classroom clocks made by the Standard Electric Time Company from before 1950. These clocks are controlled by an electronic master clock from 1989. I couldn't take the drift of the master clock and now have it synchronized with ntpd. So my old classroom clocks are now synchronized to the second, though they only display to the nearest minute (and make a loud audible clunk when they advance to the next minute). I obsess over clocks not on the system (alarm clocks, microwave etc) and make a point of making sure that they advance when the clock system does.

  6. Let me guess... on Microsoft Working On Health Information 'Vault' System · · Score: 1

    It's going to be built on Microsoft Access, right?
