  1. Re:The Primal Scream on What's Your Earliest Memory? · · Score: 2

    I was a self primaler living in Detroit, working with an understudy of Fritz Perls. Friends that went to Janov came back and watched us and worked with us and felt we were seemed to be on the right course.

    Glad your experience was good. Mine was too.

  2. My earliest memory was in my crib. I was on What's Your Earliest Memory? · · Score: 2

    standing, holding on the rail. Mom came in the room, she was angry at me. She picked up the bottle and gave it to me. That is probably the earliest event. I do remember other times in the crib, the painted beeds, and the bambi on the headboard. I do also remember walking out by the mailbox in my diapers.

    I am in my late fifties, so that was more than a few years ago. i do remember the rag man and his horse drawn wagon. I also remember the old women in bonnets working their gardens.

  3. Re:List of past cases? on Sendo Accuses MS of Stealing Smartphone IP · · Score: 2

    Xerox didn't know what they had, and the technology was languishing. Xerox did profit from the deal, of course, so did Apple.

    Define real

  5. Re:X-OSX? heh? on Apple Win32 to OS X Porting Guide · · Score: 2

    My wife's eMac is loud, but we are spoiled by the quiet G3's. My dual is not much worse than some PC's, but still I want silence when I am doing audio work.

  6. Re:I just ... on Apple Win32 to OS X Porting Guide · · Score: 2

    Ask any old man, he will tell you.

  7. Re:Where's the software? on Freshmeat Launches Mac OS X Section · · Score: 2

    give them time to get it up and running. Not that many in the Mac community know of freshmeat. I will post it on a OSX mailing list if it hasn't been posted yeat.

  8. forced into retirement. on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 2

    now they are dragging their feet on my pension.

  9. Re:Put down your mouse, pick up your guitar!!! on Sony Adds New Copyright Method to CDs in 2003 · · Score: 2

    Still, no computer can beat sitting around with your friends, making music, having some grins.

    Music has lost its social aspect. It is something that is done to us, not something we do together.

    My greatest memories is not music from a machine, but from my friends in my kitchen, trading licks, communicating.

    Nothing is more real than my friend and his celtic a harp, kicking out an O' Carolan tune. You can't put that experience on any plastic disc.

  10. Put down your mouse, pick up your guitar!!! on Sony Adds New Copyright Method to CDs in 2003 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Fuck them, make your own music.

    You may even score with a real woman, not some digital recreation.

  11. Re:Apple users will have to stand up on DMCA bad for Apple Users · · Score: 2

    to those who see the creative arts as the enemy.

    How many tyrants have worked to suppress art? Everyone else needs to wake up and realize that our freedoms are being taken away in the name of "Homeland Security" and other names they give to laws made to sound patriotic or high-minded.

    Resist and disobey the corporatist in Washington.

  12. Re:SELinux on Publishers' Attack Free Government Sites · · Score: 2

    Remember, Microsoft forced the NSA to stop development of SELinux for that very reason.

  13. Re:PPC chips on Ask a Legal Expert How MS Ruling Affects Open Source · · Score: 2

    Fuck Intel and AMD. Linux runs well on PPC.

  14. Re:Nah on Microsoft takes on PDF · · Score: 2

    Until then, Appleworks is fine with me.

    If I want a PDF, Print/Save As PDF works very well.

  15. Re:hoping for a change in administrations? on Sun To Continue To Go After Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Ashcroft is against anti-trust laws, and also, Microsoft was a big contributor to his campaign. MS put a lot of money into the Bush campaign. MS's top lobbyist (Ralph Reed) was also one of Bush's top advisors. His reward was being made head of the Georgia GOP.

    Remember, Ralph Reed was the head of the Christian Coalition.

    I have no doubt that Ashcroft is AG because of lobbying by M$/Ralph Reed. The fix was in.

  16. Re:Fishy on Trailer of Pixar Movie 'Finding Nemo' · · Score: 2

    Pixar and Disney will have to renegotiate their contract very soon. What happens between them will determine just who is the most powerful person in Hollywood.

  17. Re:PoewPPC Linux is no longer updated what OS are on Build Your Own PowerPC? · · Score: 2

    PowerPPC lost out to the competition. YellowDog, Debian, NetBSD, Mandrake, SuSE, and a few others have taken up the slack. I use YellowDog on my iMac and am very happy with it.

    OSX with XWindows installed is about all one needs.

    I have considered building. A PPC machine would be nice.

  18. Re:Incompatibilities Once Again on Tim Bray on Microsoft Office · · Score: 2

    One friend on MSN/Hotmail cannot read PDF's in his mail for some reason.

    In OSX PDF's is the way to go. I can turn any document into a pdf by hitting print, then hitting the PDF option.

    GSView is pretty neat too.

    Ignore MS and they will go away.

  19. Re:Are they.. on Jaguar Free for K-12 Teachers · · Score: 5, Funny

    I got WinXP, Frontpage, OfficeXP, and Visual Studio from MS for being a college student, why didn't we hear about this?

    they are embarrassed to admit it.

  20. Re:Considering it's a OS X conference... on OS X Conference DRM Panel Video Available Online · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Jobs said on CNN that DRM is futile.

    Remember The first product Steve and Woz sold was the blue box.

  21. Re:RIAA's next move? on Music Industry Pays $67M Fine For Price Fixing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Apple is the content creators platform of choice. These artist do not want anything on their computers that will inhibit the creation of content.

    Apple will hold out to the bitter end. Jobs said on CNN that DRM will not work, there will always be a way to crack it.

  22. Re:OS X exists for x86 on Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs · · Score: 2

    In my eyes, it would make sense to make a version for X86 servers only. The Darwin core plus some GUI tools for grins. it would be like the Xserve, cheap, powerful, and no DRM.

  23. Re:25 Million Mac users stand up and applaud on Intel to Build DRM into Next-Generation CPUs · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Apple has Appleworks which is very good. I use it more than MS Orfice. It's not loaded down with a buch of crap.

  24. Re:Amazed on Open Source Mac Game Programming Competition · · Score: 2

    The Mac was never marketed as a game platform.

    If you want to create, get a Mac, if you want to play games, get a PC. That seemed to be the attitude with many Mac users.
