I found the worst place for me to do work was at home in front of the computer. It was too easy to get distracted.
I did many of my assignments in the computer lab at school - fewer distractions so I could concentrate on working. It was also motivation for me to get it done, so that I *could* go home.
Studying, I would either go to the library, or work downstairs. No computer.
A better way to connect your iPod

If you don't have a CD Changer installed, you use this adapter. It will change the CD wiring to a standard RCA plug. It also provides a serial line, which with some hacking can be used to control your iPod from the head unit.
In 2003 beetles, the CD Changer is prewired to be installed between the seats (remove the insert). In the older models, it's wired to the trunk. There are also adapters that plug in behind the head unit, rather than using the cd cabling.
This way you don't need to use a FM transmitter or casette adapter, and you don't need to change the stock radio (and run into the K-wire problem)
I run my computer's audio through a receiver. When I added another component, the computer started generating really bad RF noise. It's the computer doing it, but it shows up on the other device.
I finally realized that the computer is grounded, while the other devices aren't. Adding a ground lift box instantly killed the RF noise.
Two words: SMTP Authentication. Is this really such a hard concept?
I work from home and use my corporate SMTP server all the time, without them needing to run it as an open relay. Even my ISP (the cable company) has enabled SMTP Auth.
The menu font (and menu extras) are still in that huge font. I recently switched to iClock, mainly because I can change the font size to something reasonable.
If Steve is blind, fine. But if I want to run my system with a 6 point font, it's up to me.
The ESPC website also has a box where you can add your email address and receive "information" from them about the ESPC itself, which I would *ahem* not recomend.;-)

I just sign their address up for more spam (behind a proxy). Less effort, and it makes it harder for them to see *valid* mail (unless they're filtering as well)
Unless the filter isn't great and filters out *valid* email.
Hotmail loves to filter my mail - my opt-in lists, even mail sent from OS X's mail (if it's not from outlook, it must be spam). So my users never see what they signed up for.
At an Apple training seminar I attended (just before the original X.0 was released), the trainer referred to it as Mac OS X (ten) Version 1.0

Since I added digital cable, I've lost the PIP functionality on my TV, (not that I could use it even with a second tuner) and I still haven't figured out how to patch my VCR to allow recording easily.
Splitting the cable to drive the VCR and digital box is out too. The cable line spits before it hits the digital box, and the signal is so weak that I need an amplifier to get *most* of the digital channels (some still drop out, but not as bad as before)
Why is it so hard to have *one* box that does everything?
Not the greatest way of doing this. On one of the sites I maintain, the date shows up at the top of the page. The other content changes very infrequently in most cases (a few pages hit a news&events database but that's about it). But the new date would be enough to change the checksum (unless they're allowing for it somehow)
Grub hits us quite often. I've seen the same URL hit multiple times in one day by different hosts. It's ignoring the "revisit-after" meta tag (7 days), but then, so are most of the other search engines. While I haven't banned it, I am watching the amount of bandwidth it uses.
Yeah, I should have mentioned that in my comment. I find even firewire hard drives slow, so USB1 must be painful. A USB 1 dvd burner? Forget it. My usb1 cd burner takes 15 min to burn, and that's only for 640MB, not a 4 Gig disc.
But IIRC, the entire USB tree drops down to USB1 speeds if even a single USB1 device is used. So you may not be getting the speed you expect either.
Just about all of my windows-based customers are still using NT, on workstations and servers. In one case, a new 2000 server showed up last week, while another doesn't know when they will upgrade. Another one has a planned migration to 2000, but I don't see it happening very soon. At school, everything that doesn't run Solaris or Linux runs on NT - including the new machines added every year. So NT is still going to be around for a long time, whether or not microsoft likes it.
My question is what is so flawed in NT that was fixed in 2K/XP, but can't be ported back to NT? Or is "Built on NT Architecture" just another marketing term?
Part of security is making it difficult for an attacker to comprimize a system. So why advertise your OS? You're just making it easier for the attacker, as they immediately know what exploits to run.
If I'm signing up with an email list from foo.com, I only expect mail from foo.com. If I want mail from bar.com, I'll sign up on their list *myself*.
If foo.com wants to sell my information, they should make this clear to me when I sign up, as I will re-evaluate if I want to sign up. If not, I consider it their responsibility to take me off bar.com's list (and whoever bar.com sold their list to)
Except that now, many spammers are sending So they've got your address the second the mail is opened (if your client defaults to HTML mail. The only flaw in Apple's mail client).
I had an ongoing issue with my cable modem for 6 months (modem would drop the sync, and I'd be offline for hours). I went nowhere with support ("I want a credit. - I can't approve that - who can - a manager - can I speak to one - no - why not? - they're busy - what *can* you do - I can have someone call you back..."). I find it interesting that managers are *always* in a meeting.
One family member works for the cable company suggested that I contact the president. Look up the name on their web site, and call their corporate office.

I'm aware that VPC can be used to run Linux. But many more people use it for running Windows. And with OS X, the need for Linux has been reduced. Since I installed OS X, I don't use my Linux machine that often.
I can see the advantage if you use Mac OS 9 though.

P4's are "high speed" computers, and are the equavalent of 14 "regular" computers. You must buy the appropriate number of licenses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the device fall back to USB 1 speeds in that case?
