  1. Re:wtf AGAIN on Impact On Jupiter Observed By Amateur Astronomers · · Score: 1

    In polite company, it's referred to as Georgium Sidus.

    That was some good chili but I'm going to be paying for it once it hits my Georgium Sidus.

    Do slashdotters count as a single different species or are each of us a species unto ourselves?

  10. Re:Well this sucks!!!! on Foxconn Workers Getting Raise With Apple Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Have you seen how confusing OS X is, under the hood? There's all these weird commands you have to type out and remember what they mean and then all these weird variables and settings. It's enough to drive the Pope mad. No wonder workers are killing themselves. Probably have great remorse for enabling such horrible evil loose in the western world.

  11. Re:Apple "It Just Works" on Why Apple Is So Sticky · · Score: 1

    Text/book files is something that iTunes needs to be able to handle. I had to do the same thing, setting up an eBook page on my home server, just to access them for install.

    I haven't checked how Apple's dealing with their eBook deal but imagine they're wrapped in an iPad App file so that iTunes can handle them. I should look in to how to do this for my own stuff.

    Actually, the form factor is pretty cool and some kind of console/VNC/Terminal device in this form factor would be cool. Maybe Cisco will make one.

    3) Apple should have incorporated iTunes itself into the iPad. That way, you don't need a second computer to buy music, video and e-books that work on the iPad.

    Uh, it is. Same as on iPhone and iPod Touch.

    But now, Mac laptops don't have any mouse/trackpad button. It's all done with gestures. 1 finger click for left click, 2 finger click for right and so on. I haven't tried out a tablet yet but would be interesting to see if they carry over to iPhone OS.
