  1. Well, I bought a pez dispenser today on Pez to Dispense Music instead of Sweets · · Score: 1

    And took it to the Apple store. After that and checking online for examples of gutting a Shuffle, I've concluded that it can't fit inside a Pez dispenser. The Shuffle is the perfect height once you replace the cap with a Pez head, and it's more than thin enough depth-wise, but it's too darn wide. It wouldn't look right.

  2. Here's Google's cache of the PezMP3 site on Pez to Dispense Music instead of Sweets · · Score: 1

  4. Yeah, well on Are 'Monster' Cables Worth It? · · Score: 1

    He's not asking about speaker cables. Video in an HDTV system should be digital, in my opinion. It just makes sense.

  5. Go digital on Are 'Monster' Cables Worth It? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why is there an analog part of the signal chain at all?

  6. IDN spoofing still a problem on CaminoBrowser.org Launches · · Score: 1
  7. To be fair on From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life · · Score: 1

    archive.org is still going strong.

  8. And it failed the test on From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life · · Score: 2, Funny

    Slashdotted already. Thanks for playing

  9. Google's cache of crowncommission.com/dailygrind on Daily Grind Webcomic Challenge · · Score: 1
  10. Thought I was smart to wait until after Macworld on Apple Updates iPod · · Score: 1

    Didn't want a Shuffle, so I figured it was safe and two weeks ago I took the plunge and bought an iPod mini.

    From now on I'll always wait for the update.

  11. Re:Can't stand that place on Panera Bread Is The Largest Provider Of Free WiFi · · Score: 1

    That you, Dave? The parent was not about wifi.

  12. Re:Can't stand that place on Panera Bread Is The Largest Provider Of Free WiFi · · Score: 1

    None that I've been to in SE Michigan.

  13. Re:The Prisioner!!! on Beware The Rotundus Rover · · Score: 1

    Hey, I'm 40+ and I don't play favorites :P

  14. Re:The Prisioner!!! on Beware The Rotundus Rover · · Score: 1

    "It's a very cool show. Made 30 years ago"

    Closer to 40, actually.

  15. Actually it's standing still on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 1

    The rest of the universe is moving.

    It's all relative.

  16. Why no direct links to video? on Google Moves Into Video · · Score: 1
    If the video is on the internet, why not link to it?

    For instance C-SPAN has video archives available.

  17. Re:This is not unexpected News on Korg's New Keyboard Powered by Linux · · Score: 1

    "Open a different soft synth and you are still at the same damn midi keyboard."

    Then buy a different midi controller.

    And FWIW, I play differently depending on the patch.

  18. Adapter for $4.99 on Apple Releases Mac Mini · · Score: 1
  19. What about Uranus? on Three Largest Stars Identified · · Score: 1

    Will one ever stretch further than Uranus?

  20. Re:Mac Mini on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    Not if you want to keep the power, usb, etc. plugged in.

    Total height of a Cube is actally close to 9 3/4"

  21. NOT MY POST, ya goof! THE PARENT! :P on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    Mod the parent (grandparent to this one) up! Geeez! lol

  22. Re:Mac Mini on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    More like one third the height of a Cube, but three times faster.

  23. AWESOME! Mod up! on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    I love it!

  24. OS 9 support for Mini? on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    It's a G4, so can I load OS 9 on it, or are there other issues?

  25. Internet wasn't the Internet until the '80s on Top 25 Innovations of the Past 25 Years · · Score: 2, Informative

    In my opnion, it wasn't the real Internet until BITNET became part of the internet. Circa 1986. A quote:

    "BITNET had people in universities all over the world; it had world-wide email; it had real-time, interactive chat, one-to-one or in "Relay" chatrooms in places like CERN; it had world-wide remote file archives you could grab files from by issuing commands; it had world-wide "Listserv" email discussion lists; you could query if people were logged on across the world; it had disconnected "answering machines"; it had email to and from all other networks.

    The whole thing (BITNET plus connected networks) was the embryonic Internet. The protocol has simply migrated to IP since, that's all. If BITNET wasn't the Internet, then neither was Arpanet before it switched to IP in 1983.
