They've got lots and lots of official books, all HTMLized a chapter or a section at a time. They're all a bit old or out of date, too - I know of one Perl book in particular that they have there was one edition behind what was being sold on the shelf at the time I saw it.
And of course, there's always Apple's Newton series, which was doing this four years ago...
I'd like to know if this new input area can have specific apps placed in it, like on my Newt - I took out a few of their apps that I'd never used, and placed my dialup/telnet app and docking app in their place. I'd also like to see a picture of this new Clie, but the image on the site seems to be busted.
Unless someone comes out with a pro-[insert political agenda here] game, I'm gonna have a hard time swallowing that something like GTA3 or Final FantasyXXVVVIIII has some kind of constitutional protection...
This is true... but we're at the point where it can take three hours to watch a one hour show on tape due to frequent use of the magic pause button:) A Tivo would just be an expensive dust-catcher right now... like the dvd player.
To be able to actually *use* one of these things; to have the time to sit through a 12 hour marathon of Farscape or B5 without having the kids crawling all over you... I'd really like a Tivo-type thingy, but I have no idea when I'd be able to actually use it. I barely get to use the dvd player we got for Christmas...
I'm not the best gamer, so I do enjoy shoulder-surfing someone that knows what they're doing. God knows I've learned lots of things about UT / TO maps in ghost mode:) 'Twould be much better if it was a free channel... and there will be a lot more than just watching people play games on this channel - game reviews, interviews, themed programs, etc.

I'm building a web server where I work, and I've been having trouble with some of the code... I keep "tail -f error.log" active, and I see lots of code red hits on this server daily, mostly from overseas machines... and it's not even a publicly known server, it's just a dev box.
Being a Mac user at home, I haven't had to care about Code Red, but I find it's presence in the world, and it's attempts to access unknown, non-Win machines (especially ones that I'm working on) very disturbing. As I understand it, the hits I get are nothing compared to some servers, so I can only imagine the amount of bandwidth wasted on Code Red and it's kin.

This movie is a spin-off of The (Brendan Frasier) Mummy movies, which were an astounding bit of escapism, broken plot lines, unreality, fantasy, and general making-stuff-up-as-you-go-along-ishness... and Rocky was in the Returns movie anyway.

Then again, it doesn't have to be done all at once. Scientists can start by just terraforming one chunk of Mars, and then build out from there. It would make sense to start near one of the poles, where there's a large concentration of ice; that would definitely make things easier at the start.

Very good point. I know the NOC I used to work at that supported AOL still used older AOL clients (as far back as ver.3) for dialup testing, because the customers were still using them. Some people will not change just for the sake of changing, especially if it's computer stuff they've gotten used to.
There's also the fact that this would mean AOL customers downloading a new browser and configuring it. As I understand it, Mozilla isn't exactly something you'd want to grab and go from a dialup connection... don't forget copying those bookmarks! I *still* blow away my bookmarks on occasion... good thing I always keep a backup:)
Well, his idea of removing "mailto:"s is an obvious one...
I dunno, most of this stuff sounds like common sense work for someone who's got a well-trafficed web site. The badhosts_loop looks like an interesting addition, though...
On the surface, it almost looks like this system could be built up to act like a SPEWS for web servers.
The best I've managed is finding episodes 1 through 16, as well as episode 18, in RealAudio format (my God, are they chunky), apparently fansubbed. I got them from a Carracho server... which is the only reason I even bothered getting the Carracho software:)
Evangelion is also one of the main reasons I got a DVD player for Christmas:)
As a die-hard Apple user, I've always said that if I *had* to get a Win box, it'd be a Gateway, even if they do have a spokescow now. They seemed to use decent components, and their products felt like they had a personality, like they weren't just another mass-produced consumer computer. The cow spots added a touch of irreverance that made them feel like less of a corporate tool.
This just increases their chances of getting my business when that dreaded someday comes:)
So, nobody uses AOL chat rooms (real chat rooms, mind you, not those wacky IRC "chat rooms") to trade info on pirated software, or 0-day dvdz, or anything like that? The corporate Internet sites are pure and pristine, and devoid of any unsavory elements of society? Well, boy howdy, sign me up!
Informative, indeed... here I was worrying about trying to build my own version:) But, is there audio for this version? Is there audio at all, for that matter? It's dead silent on my iBook...
Sounds like a similar situation to the "mystery" of why coins spin faster the closer they get to stopping; it's not thet they're spiining faster, it's just that there's more edge touching the surface that it's spinning on, which makes more noise.

Turner Broadcasting thinks PVR users are theives, though... and AOL owns Turner Broadcasting!
Maybe they can set up their system to skip recording anything that's on a Turner station...
