Twenty years is a long time for a creative type to be mostly kicking back and enjoying the good things in life. Rust sets in quickly, dulling the drive that keeps one working nights and weekends and eating bad takeout food while crazy project deadlines loom. I wonder how much Woz has left.
After that plane crash? Not so much.
For the company, it might not matter. Hiring Woz helps build the brand - people will now have heard of them and start paying attention to them. Like Transmeta hiring Torvalds.
Oh yeah, I remember them. They were going to build a chip or something, gonna change the whole world. Kinda like pets.com, but with Linux.
How do you explain the difference between quitting an application and simply closing the window?
It's the same difference between shutting off a car's engine and stopping the car at a red light.
Personally, the whole close-the-last-window-quits-the-application thing annoys me. Nothing like looking through a directory of files, opening each one, waiting for the program to start up, realizing that's not the file you were looking for, closing it, and then having to reload the whole program again with the next file.
What next? The first president to create his own daily you tube channel, blog, website/forum, on-line poll asking the public who he should pick for cabinet positions, or owning/using his own PDA/Cell phone?
I understand the potential problems with security, cost, screwups and stuff, but part of me wonders how much of this data could be used for diagnostic analysis by looking at symptoms, vital signs, treatments and outcomes over a very large population.
The first is that there is a huge shortage of tissue across the board. The second is that most of the hospital staff knows this and they aren't going to work as hard to save your life if you've got one of those organ donor cards.
Sorry, but your comment is made of FAIL. ER docs don't harvest organs, and their jobs are some sort of test where they get partial credit for saving the organs but not their owners.
Learn what you're talking about. Until then, keep your urban legends to yourself.
They're used to lousy performance. No mater how bad the sex is, I just promise that next time it's going to be better than ever and they believe me. If I "crash" while they're trying to, y'know, get things done, it's no big deal. They're used to getting boned in the ass.
Although it's not programming, I think Donald Norman's *The Psychology of Everyday Things* (also goes under the title of *The Design of Everyday Things*) deservers a place in every programmer's designer's library.
I bought a Power Computing clone and it was fine at first, right up until it was time to start updating the system. All of a sudden things like the CD-ROM drivers didn't want to work and required third-party software and the whole experience just became a pain in the ass. Y'know, the kind of pain in the ass up until then I had willingly paid more for Apple computers to avoid.
After that I only bought the real deal from Apple and things worked out well. It's just gotten even better now that I can buy reconditioned stuff that are just a few months old for huge savings from the Apple store.

The Boston Tea Party wasn't a boycott, it was blatant destruction of property.
A blatant destruction of property while dressed as minorities.
What a bunch of pussies. In Rhode Island they were already burning British warships.
If you ask, you'll get a vague response like "We don't think you're a good fit".
"That's what the little boy said."
This reference is over 20 years old, but at that time only New York state required footprinting for newborns.
And that's why I had to lean how to shoot people holding a gun in my hand.

remember goatse? well think deeper and darker
But not as large.
Jeeves & Wooster has a 30 second "You wouldn't steal..." ad at the beginning
Which is pretty funny considering that Jeeves & Wooster starts off with Wooster in court for having stolen a policeman's helmet.
Jack Daniels is definitely not bourbon.
It is a Tennesee Whiskey.
Is that like a special olympics?
They should do it with positrons.
Are you sure?

No, the first speaker of the house doing a rickroll.

Chiropractors have had many detractors over the years and have a long history of using political manipulation
But that crack from the manipulation is so goooood.
Palm was screwing Mac users even before they imploded. I'll never buy another Palm device.

I upgraded to Google over IPv6 and the whole thing just seems snappier.
Kudos, Google.
None of them look good in a black turtleneck.
That video engineer guy was sure trying, though. Pity about the Office Space obsession, though.
"I'm just gonna go ahead and..."
They're used to lousy performance.

Get laid.
And how come even though I've unchecked tags in the my preferences tags are still displayed?
If levels are less cumbersome then it will take drug dealers' accountants less time to get to level 10 to do their nefarious spreadsheet deeds.
For example he could use restore points.
I am interested in your RPG and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

It's a perversion of justice for the profit of the state, but right now the judges let it pass constitutional muster.
That's just because nobody bothered to do the the same trick with the correct government or state official plates.
I've never been a fan of the straight popular vote for President - it really takes away from the rural states and some of their voice in government
Yeah, what would the last eight years been like without that rural voice in government?
