    I have a nice Daewoo .380. Is Walther PP copy. Very nicely made.

  2. Re:Sounds fun! on Scientists Levitate Mice for NASA · · Score: 1

    What about being tumbled in the dryer?

    And if we just shrank people down to the size of flying frogs...

    It's spelled "superhalitosis".

    But would shatter when thrown against the way by angry ex-girl friend. Still, might be good for attacking zombies. But not as good as the Apple aluminum sheet keyboard (with keypad for extra moment-arm).

  5. Re:Too true about the Classic on Apple Announces iTunes 9, "LPs," Video Camera For the iPod Nano · · Score: 1

    Picked up a refurb 30GB classic (buy.com) as my car iPod. Yeah, doesn't hold entire music library but for commuting, does what I need it for. Nice thing is I don't have to futz around with plugging/unplugging. Now, if I could get it to sync with iTunes wirelessly from within the car, that would be cool.

    As for the iPhone, I have music on it but don't really listen to it that much. There's also a couple of movies for the kidlet but really, I'm using it as time killer game machine and for web access. I think I had less than 20 minutes talk time used last month. I guess what I really need is an iPod touch with mobile web access.

  6. Re:An idea... on Apple Announces iTunes 9, "LPs," Video Camera For the iPod Nano · · Score: 1

    I'd be happy with an Apple Home Media Server (Mac Mini with TB range drive). Sure, this can be done now with mounting network shares and pointing iTunes/iPhoto that way but is a bit of a pain. Just saw this bit about Home Sharing with iTunes 9. Will be interesting to see how well it works.

    And while they're at it, how about some kind of document server, that'll handle text/pdf stuff, in a similar fashion to iTunes and iPhoto? I have a small collection of eTexts I'd like to have available throughout the house, but easily searchable (i.e. can my 2nd grader use it as easily as she plays shared movies from iTunes?).

    Wish they'd bring back Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri for iPhone. That would ROCK! (except for displaying the tech development chart)

    also known as Grand Central Dispatch, which is technology in Snow Leopard that makes it easier for developers to take advantage of multi-core parallelism.

    They kinda' snuck that one in.

    In fact, I prefer to take off everything before watching tv. It does bother the other patrons in the bar. Whatever!

    So you'd have to have someone paint the target before hitting it.

    Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little surprises.
    El Guapo: Many pinatas?
    Jefe: Oh yes, many!
    El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
    Jefe: A what?
    El Guapo: A plethora.
    Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
    El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
    Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
    El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora.
    Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

    Oh, I ate. Dorm was next door to SAC chow hall. Served food 24/7. I ate four meals a day there, for three years and only gained a few pounds. Nothing like a 19 year old metabolism. Now, 22 years and 100 lbs later, yeah, wouldn't mind those days again.
