    Seems like "Here comes the science" would do very well on /. :-)

  2. Re:Attached Cable on Expensive Geek Toys Roundup · · Score: 1

    Since you have one do you mind tell me if the little cable attached to the watch is removable, and if yes where to keep it short of having it loose in a pocket. I looked at the pictures but it is not obvious.

    Since you have to ask, I guess they've done a good job of hiding it. The USB cable snaps into the band of the watch, it's pretty clear once you realize that's what it is in this picture:

    http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/5eec/imag es/

    So the cable's short, which means you probably would have to remove your watch to use the storage most of the time... still cool. And you could keep a a 3' extension cable in your pocket/laptop bag/whatever for more convenient use.

    You forgot to add the '//' to comment out your comment:

    Major Disclaimor: I am not a programmer, don't try and pick apart my stupid looking wannabe code. It' s a joke, you should interpret the spirit of it, not the technicalities.

    A '#' would also be acceptible.

  8. buttons we all know and love ??? on PSP Controller Layout, New Details Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does everyone really love the naming convention of these buttons? It drives me nuts to say "OK, to do this move, press left and the Triangle plus Circle, then Square" when I could say "press left and A B, then X".

    Am I missing out on some lingo here to reference the psx buttons a little more easily?

  9. Re:Microsoft mice rock on Logitech Ships 500 Millionth Mouse · · Score: 1

    I had the EXACT same problem with that mouse. It was a little big for my preference anyways. Now I use a the old Microsoft "J" mouse style (with scroll) and a trackball at home.

    Blue GBA SPs were available same time as silver.

    I've seen Red and black available this month too.

    Of course I am in Canada... but I really doubt we're getting this stuff before the US is :-)

    It goes after the "s"; you don't need to provide an extra "s". There shouldn't be an apostrophe in "comments", either.


    Thank's!

  14. Re:Meet the Newcard... on Standard Brewing For PC Card Replacement 'Newcard' · · Score: 1

    I think they're taking cue from radio and tv station marketing.

    Here in Ontario, we have a 2 year old radio station that still calls themselves "The New 640 AM", and for at least 10 years one tv station was calling themselves "The NEW VR" (For all I know, they still do).

    P.S. I live on the Western side of the pond too, but I spell things "flavour", "colour" and "centre" :-)

  19. Offtopic: Mac OS X newsreader? on Microsoft to do for Usenet what it did for Email & The Web? · · Score: 1

    This is somewhat offtopic, but seems like a good time and place to ask.

    Anyone know of a good newsreader for mac os x? I've googled up a few, but they are all terrible from my point of view.

    In my last life I was a windows user and would use newsbin pro which was great for binaries and Agent for reading/posting.

    The first guy in this google list has some funny videos. I wonder if he plays this one on his monitor while entertaining his girlfriend!

    LOL, I just about spat out my lunchtime chocolate milk watching those. My girlfriend works in that department (as student help), gonna see if she knows the guy.

    They already did quite some time ago.... I'm not sure what you mean by "full", but I'm told it will plan encrypted wma files.

    If most of them do change, how brilliant/functional is the one-button mouse?

    I recently switched to a Powerbook and don't miss it much at all. Doing a Command+Click isn't that big a deal, and it's not often needed. What I *DO* miss is a scroll wheel. Of course, many other laptops don't have scrollwheels/scrollpads either.

  24. Re:rights and copyright on More Incompatible DVDs and CDs Coming Your Way · · Score: 1

    If you make it then you are the copyright holder. If you make it for someone else you are still the copyright holder but the person who contracted you can use your work as the contract states. If you are employed then your work belongs to your employer.

    Interesting.... I tend to get skewed views and sometimes outright false information from my coworkers and employers.... I work at a major record label :-) They look at me funny when I ask too many questions about copyright law, etc, so I generally keep my mouth shut.

    Thanks Jucius, I do have a mac (my first! a powerbook 867... in for service at the moment though :-( Had a nasty case of the wobbles and some bad bad bad ram).

    Thanks for the advice... I've tried plugging into my office's cable connection and now I get a '10061', connection refused error. I'm guessing the tracker you're mentioning is overloaded. Guess I'll just have to sit tight.
