Ok, great post, but I have to know - why 33 ohms? Why constant at all?

I'm in the middle of extending my Greasemonkey script to retrieve all of a user's friends when you first log in and then popup a nice page where you can sort, search, see new friends, add and edit meta tags and so on. I'll stick it up on Userscripts when it's done:)
Oh, and it also strips all those hacky images which cover the entire profile and redirect you to some spam site.
The US government spends more than any other country in the world on health care in terms of percentage of GDP, and private health care amounts to the same amount again.
Because I tend to navigate using the keyboard rather than the trackpad if possible? If you have a lot of files in a folder it's quicker to get around that way.
Quite frankly Finder is a steaming pile of crap. Dire keyboard shortcut support, especially in dialog boxes, a horrible tree view (with an even more broken keyboard set of behaviours), the not-updating bug mentioned, I'm sure there's been other things I can't remember.
Only in part, as I said if you include private health care it's about twice as high as the western average, but even not including it, the US government still spends a slightly higher percentage of its GDP on health care than any other country. Well over twice what the UK spends!
I'm not sure many Americans seem to realise this when ranting about the vast costs of socialised medicine:)
Actually spending per head on health is not higher in the UK than the US. I believe that the US spends more per person on medical care than pretty much any other country in the world... so much for the oft-heard rant about socialised medicine! As a proportion of GDP it spends double what most western countries do, if you only take Government health care (Medicare and Medicaid) then it still spends a slightly larger percentage of its GDP than most countries - 6.7% versus an average of 5.8%. Have a look here for instance. The UK actually spends far less than most countries on health care...
I've had the same problem in IE and FF, doesn't seem to be browser-related. The only discussion about this I've found anywhere is right at the bottom of the comments here. I found a couple of Myspace pages where people had said that they'd had this problem and had contacted Myspace who had apparently fixed the issue, but despite their blogs saying their player works now, they still don't work for me.
Until they fix their media player this doesn't really matter - you can't play any track that's been added in the last six months or so where the uploader hasn't marked it as available for download. So about 80% of all tunes on various MySpace artists' pages are now completely unlistenable anyway.
Well no, because it was the UK that did all the negotiating, not the US. The main purpose of the US was simply to be trigger-happy and menacing, something it does far better than delicate negotiations.
You seem to have missed one fact - you don't have to die before reproduction not to pass your genes on, you can just not have any kids that survive. There have indeed been evolutionary changes over the last 10,000 years or so, and the process continues.
Ant rocks compilation speed-wise, although I wish they'd've skipped the XML and gone with something like Python instead; it's pretty annoying trying to do any kind of conditional tasks. And the whole target thing can be a pain as it means you can't have multiple parameters.
If you're really that pushed for resources just skip Visual Studio and compile from the command line. Although I've not seen that VS is any worse resource- or speed-wise than Eclipse is.
Uber-pathetic, but not true. I quite happily did Java development on a 600MHz machine with 1Gb of RAM up until a couple of years ago, my new box still only has 1Gb of RAM.
So you're saying that the Illuminatus trilogy isn't meant as entertainment then? It's actually an informative exposition on... well, what? I think you're perhaps assuming that the word "entertainment" automatically implies "fun", "shallow" or "vapid", whereas I was merely meaning in the term of a good read. Why should I bother to read something that I don't enjoy reading?
Hmm, we have breeding populations of lynx I believe, and there's certainly other big cats around, although they're more to do with zoo escapes and released pets than anything else. However, they're certainly around:)
How ridiculous... if a book is unreadable after 200 pages, why should I bother carrying on? There's plenty of books out there that are good from the start all the way through.

Go have a look at all the stuff David Brin has written about a transparent society - definitely lots to think about on this subject.

That's blatently untrue in WMP 10, and I don't think it was true in 9 either.
Worst Interface Ever indeed. Well, except Lotus Notes perhaps. I'm going back to a Nokia next time, and not changing.

On Mac laptops the only key you have (which has the return key icon on it) renames the file.
Because obviously the Enter key should perform a relatively unused operation like renaming rather than opening the file, which is actually Apple+O.

Nope, neither of them play for me at all - when you click on the link the track name goes green, then white and does nothing.

Actually right at this second something is waiting on stats.big-boards.com, grr.

Try here. I'm sure it was posted on /. a while ago.

No, but I'm still not going to read something that doesn't grip me in any way, no matter how "worthy" a read it's supposed to be.
