  1. Been running dual since '94 on A Dual Monitor Experiment · · Score: 1

    What's the big deal. At one time, I had three monitors running off of my Quadra 650. I'm running dual monitors right now, too. You just throw a second card in and hook up another monitor, or, with some of the Apple OEM ATI and Nvidia cards, just get adapters to run off of the DVI and ADC ports on the one card.

  2. Re:When did mediocrity become something to shoot f on Kamikaze Novel Writing · · Score: 1

    I thought the idea was to be able to say (brag) that you had written a novel, but that it was 'too much' for modern sensibilities or some such hogwash?

    Seriously, though, two friends of mine, who have done the nanowrimo thing have gone on to be published authors (short stories) and are both working on multiple novels and piling up the rejection slips. Cool! They'll be able to comp me at lit events.

  12. Re:My thoughts on Gates, Jobs, Torvalds: Who is Most Important? · · Score: 1

    It's all who you know. BG's mom was on the same national charity board as a VP from IBM. Strings were pulled and BG and co. suddenly had a chance to deliver a drive controller to IBM. After that, they used a lot of cunning to drive MS to the top of computing business.

    Hey, it's the Reg. They have lots of those funny 'English' bits in there. Makes it sound like Monty Python.

  16. Re:Scary scary bloke on Gates, Jobs, Torvalds: Who is Most Important? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the US, while the airlines will tell you to provide a picture ID to get a boarding pass, they won't actually tell you the law that requires this. WTF? The government can't publish a law requiring people to show a picture ID? They say it classified. How the hell can you expect people to obey a classified law?

    Most likely, they know the law is illiegal and would be struck down by the courts so they just try to BS people into following their wishes.

  17. Re:Rushed? on No WiFi In 'Grantsdale' Chipset · · Score: 1

    I've seen lots of cheap router/access points go down. They're pretty much disposable. They start flaking out, usually after a power blip (am loving life in Florida right now).

    Unless we say it does. Remember, Bush has reserved the right to do what ever we want to do, as long as we make up some half-ass excuse.

  20. Re:inevitable on Less Might Be More · · Score: 1

    My Quadra 650 (33Mhz, 136MB RAM) is still set up and running as a scanning station for my Agfa StudioScan II.

    I also have an old MacPlus with a 10MB external drive with Minix installed but haven't fired it up in a few years.

    For my TI 99/4A and Amiga, I need to find a small 14" tv but they both still run, too.

    I'm a pro-gun, pro-choice agnostic Mac user from hell (Florida). After the way Bush ran his primary campaign in 2000, I switched to independent and haven't looked back. They only reason I'm voting for another millionaire is that Bush is about the worst thing to happen to this country since MicroSoft
