Coulda' been a good movie, if they'd brought Sisko in from Deep Space 9. With Sisko not trusting/hating Picard, but forced to work together, coulda' been an interesting character based plot, similar to the old Star Trek, with Spock and McCoy forced to work together.
Hey, total wish list here. I remember when iTunes first came out and how easy it was at work for everyone to dip into each other's collections.
But beyond iTunes being allowed to RIP DVD's, I'd be happy with a DVD drive on the Apple TV. Would then be able to script things around to do the same thing. Or, just get a new Mini, with the hardware to handle.m4v files manipulation and be done with it. As for _TS files, yeah, I'm losing out on menus and extras (except what I've pulled from disk as discrete files) but if I was going for full on disk duplication, I'd be looking at needing 3x my current HD space. Darn you LotRs!
Only thing I'd add to this wish list is the ability to put a DVD in an Apple TV and have it ripped to iTunes automatically.
I spent all last summer ripping 300+ DVD's for use on my Apple TV. I have it tethered to a first gen MacMini with an external 1TB drive for all this.
If I was to start on this project today, I'd bypass the Apple TV and just get a MacMini. Would be easy enough to script Handbrake and iTunes to do this.
Maybe they'll come up with a MacMiniAVG for all this?
At my first real Mac support job (small college around '95), I looked at their daily support duties (restart all Mac file servers, run all over campus wiping professor's chins) and loaded them up with Linux. After that, it was Apple Remote Desktop software, an office with a bunch of monitors and then plenty of time for surfing the web. Previous tech was fanatic Mac user who drove even me nuts. She'd convinced management to fund an assistant to her, for all the work she had. Within 6 months, she was gone. Was a nice job but after awhile, got pretty boring.
We've used dog hair around the house (outside), to drive off mice, moles, gophers, etc. Just stuff a big hunk down any hole we find in the spring and it's usually good for a year. Guess rodents don't like the smell of wet dog either.
Would be interesting to see how it does with bugs.
That would be kinda' cool, setting up a personal spamming service. Enter in all that nice relevant relative data, figure out what kind of spam to send (or be cool and send real porn and torrent) and set it spinning. If you're really good, install root kits on their systems (they were always asking you for help, right?) and really mess with 'em. Ooh, I hope they have a smart house!
I see an interesting economic opportunity as well a gene pool beautification program here. Set up some kind of Japanese style game show, where nerds will compete with one another for a chance at being shot with the X-Ray Laser and the chance at super powers. And even the losers would still be given a consolation zap as well.
Most of our buildings have been wired with fiber to the desktop for the last 4-5 years. Biggest breakdown are the stupid transceivers. Their power supplies go wonky and we can't get just the power supply. Have to swap out entire unit. New machines are coming in with fiber cards but still have older machines with ethernet only.
Yup. As a kid, growing up on Clearwater Beach, my feet were black and hard like a leather boot sole on the bottom, by the end of summer. Was fun, freaking the tourists, walking barefoot on the blacktop.
After reading this, I'm thinking of picking up a pair of Converse low tops for walking/jogging this summer (live in mountains with lots 'o rocks and cactus).

If Apple bought MS after MS bought Bungie...
Or the New York Times or GM. What about NASA or JPL? As long as we're going shopping, lets have fun!

Golly gee Wally, you got Orion slave girl juice all over the drive nacelles!

I have a IIcx with 3 NICs and NetBSD on it. Makes a great 10Mb router.
Squirrels? Just saw a documentary about a girl who got squirrels in her pants.

Ok, how does Acrobat/PDF thing impact the finding, downloading, and viewing of porn? Not all? Then why use it?
At the help desk, we call them customers.
Our dogs think magical road fudge tastes just like real fudge. Go figuh. At least they keep the trails around the property clean.

Should never have left token ring. The ring's the thing, don' chya know?
I bought a scanner from Tiger Direct back in '94. They sent me two scanners but only charged me for one.
My hotrod ('70 Impala Sport Coup/454 .30 over/3.73 Posi) ate it's tranny. For third time in 2 years. Sigh.

Win-win!
