  1. Apple and the DMCA (OT) on Flat-panel iMacs in Apple's Future? · · Score: 0, Offtopic
  2. MacOS X Update "Issue" Still Kicking on 10th Anniversary of Quicktime · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Just today, Apple's lawyers got a response... Several Websites have also picked up the story and there have been mirrors established.

    Check it out in, "How to Convert a MacOS X 10.1 Update into an Install CD"

  3. Fixed! on Apple Cease-And-Desists Stupidity Leak · · Score: 2

    D'ohhhh!

  4. Very Clear Instructions! on Apple Cease-And-Desists Stupidity Leak · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Everything Mac has posted some very clear instructions on how to do this!

  5. Nice, Clear Instructions on How to Do It on Apple Cease-And-Desists Stupidity Leak · · Score: 5, Informative
    Everything Mac has clear instructions on how to do this!

    Check it out - very easy to follow.

  6. 40,000 Light Years? on Giant Black Hole Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    Would that be the Delta or Gamma quadrant? ;)

  7. Small problem... on Linking Hardware To Wetware · · Score: 2
    It's exactly because of computers that I've been steadily losing my mind...

    I don't think giving it another piece would help this any.... :D

  8. Competition for AskJeeves? on .us Domains Coming in 2002 · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Look out, here comes "ask.us!"

    Okay, that's enough...

  10. Link to Philips Site on Net Connected Dream Inducer · · Score: 2

    You can see what this thing looks like and get some more details here on Philip' site.

  11. Recursive PATH on Rage Against the File System Standard · · Score: 2
    Unless you can set a recursive PATH, I don't think it would be viable to split things into their own directories... Could you imagine how long (and how slow) it would be to have 20, 40, 60 directories or more listed in your PATH?

    With package management software, who cares if it's all in one place? That's fine with me...

    Besides, anything *I* add to the system, depending, usually ends up in /usr/local - which is a further distinction.

  12. Low Cost iPod Due from Apple - "iPod LC" or "iPoo" on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 2
  13. Not Wil - But His Aunt Val... on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    Read it yourself on Wil's site...

    "We had my Aunt Val's memorial service yesterday..."

  14. Jalalabad! on Message from Kabul · · Score: 0

    Sorry... Just wanted to say "Jalalabad!" :-D

  15. Cliched, but important! on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 2
    This may sound a little cliche but I think the best thing we could hope for this holiday season is the safe return of our servicemen and women.

    Let's hope for a speedy conclusion in Afghanistan too, and a little more "world peace" wouldn't hurt, either.

  16. All I Want for Christmas... on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1, Funny
    ...is my two front teeth.

    My two front teeth...

    My two front teeth...

    Hey, don't blame me, that's the song. :-D

  17. iPod! on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think the Apple iPod will totally kick ass this holiday season...

  18. Uh Oh! on Methanol Fuel-Cell Battery For Your Laptop? · · Score: 3, Funny

    With a fuel cell, I guess Apple's problem of self-igniting PowerBooks should be REAL interesting soon...

  19. Worrisome... on Methanol Fuel-Cell Battery For Your Laptop? · · Score: 2
    There's a lot of concern with battery chemicals leaking out and contaminating... Whatever. I'd be especially worried about leaking methanol, which is much more flowing than a paste or gel often found in typical batteries. Not only that, but seals could fail or you could overfill them, etc. and you'd end up with this stuff running around your laptop.

    Besides, don't fuel cells create a lot of heat?

    The benefit is you get lots of drinking water and fresh air while using your laptop! :-D

  20. Email a video? on Surf the Net on a Digital Camcorder · · Score: 2
    From a camcorder?

    How fast do you think that wireless connection is really gonna be?

  21. Just what I need... on Surf the Net on a Digital Camcorder · · Score: 5, Insightful
    A camcorder that can surf the Web and send Email.

    I'd rather have better components and a cheaper price. Not crappy stuff jammed together, compromising other components and a higher price.

    It might be a neat gadget for "all in one" but it's always going to be a compromise. Especially since things change so rapidly in technology.

    I'll leave this one alone, just like the digital camera slash MP3 player... :-/

  22. Re:No thanks. on XBox Released · · Score: 2
    Macintosh and Sun Ultra60, for starters.

    My Wintel box is an aging dual Pentium "Classic" 166MHz. I haven't booted it in about two years.

  23. Networked/Linked Games on XBox Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Another thing...

    The Xbox is the only console out there without networking. What's up with that?!

  24. No thanks. on XBox Released · · Score: 2
    Not to be a flamer here, but quite honestly... I'll pass on the "Xbox," thanks.

    If I wanted a PC, I would've bought one. I'd rather have the Playstation, which plays both the new AND old games, DVDs and CDs. It looks cooler, to boot.

    Microsoft sure is spending a LOT of money on advertising though. I keep seeing Xbox commercials (or rather games FOR the Xbox). Judging by the pictures though, I still think the PS2 blows it away.

  25. The irony of it all... on Sir-tech Canada Releases Wizardry 8 · · Score: 2
    A game that was HUGE on the Mac...

    Now only available for the PC! Well, at least right now, hopefully. :(
