    At my 10 year reunion, found out my 'friends' in band and physics club were not inviting me to parties because I was too weird. Man, the 80's sucked!

    If aliens were to drop a dinosaur killer on your town, I doubt you remote backup would be good.

    A 'server' isn't about serving data but about securing it for 10k+ years.

    But, but, Jobs is teh evil and besides, he doesn't know anything because he started up a company that makes toy computers that are only good for playing games and they all suck because they can't play any computer games.

    Had a dog knock over table my iMac was on. glass covering screen shattered and drive made this neat clicking thing but once new drive was installed, everything works ok. Will be glad when we finally transition from these Victorian era storage devices, with spinning bits and gears and such, to nice solid state pieces.

    I still have an Apple Ergo keyboard hooked up to my Mac at home, via ADB->USB adapter. Am bummed that my original Wacom ADB tablet doesn't work, as Wacom refused to release drivers for OSX for it. Oh well, my Quadra still runs ok.

    I have family AV library on a Mac Mini server (with a couple 1GB drives hanging off it by Firewire). It can stream 3 different movies (to Mac laptops/iMac) simultaneously via wireless without stuttering so that works for around the house. What I'd like to see is iTunes (on my server) able to stream over 3G to iPhone/iPads the way EyeTV can. That would be sweet!

    Yeah, but no one would bring back a Fox Sci-Fi show, once it was cancelled.

    Not even one as good as Futurama.

  25. Re:This is important? on Science Channel Buys Rights To Firefly · · Score: 1

    Watched the first televised episode (Train Job) and turned it off about 15 minutes in. Didn't seem that interesting. A few years later, picked up the Serenity DVD. It was good so we picked up the TV Series set. Watching them in correct order, oh man, is Firefly a good show. Bummer that Fox internal politics (showing out of order, moved around on time slot) took it down.
