OK, So we have a story here, about someone who downloaded something that they didn't know what was off a P2P network, HOPED it was something they didn't even know had been released, and they're surprised it hosed their system?
Look at the author's name, 'Pudge'...does anyone other than me find it curious that an Apple news item is submitted by 'Pudge', when we're ALL familiar with the infamour 'Father Randy 'Pudge' O'day'?
Why is the/. crowd so anti-amateur radio? It's like, the original geekdom, and while a LOT of the geezers out there are boring as shit to talk to, there's a LOT of cool stuff going on.
Tons of digital modes, (interfacing comps with radios), satellite coms, EME, meteor bounce.
Really, it's just confusing to me that as a group,/. can still talk about how great pac-man was (with a straight face), and yet totally trash Amateur Radio.

I'm trying to figure out how a court can actually hold Google RESPONSIBLE for advertisement for a business entity.
Google's primary purpose is INFORMATION, not the aforementioned advertisement.
If I'm looking for something to purchase, I'm generally more concerned with price & availability than who I buy FROM. It's in this area that Google shines, offering a plethora of various places to buy/rent from.
I would think this is an excellent opportunity for Google to make the distinction between their ACTUAL business plan and their PERCIEVED business plan.
Think about it, just because you've coined some obscure acronym for yourself or your business, does that mean it's Google's responsibility to insure that people find you during their search? Wow, nice way to shrink that ad budget.
Yes, but have you ever noticed how techie polls usually DO show a higher percentage of non-IE users?
Methinks it's because techies don't use IE, (simple enough), rather than fewer people using IE.
The results are skewed simply by the nature of the site hosting the test. That'd be kind of like ISO.org hosting a poll asking whether or not their visitors were Linux users.

Made me feel REEEEALY good about myself.
Call me crazy but I wouldn't want most of those as indicative of my 'clientel'.

Bear in mind, the rules of the road were outlined in 'Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back', NOT Dogma.
The fact the people with pacemakers must stay away from microwaves is enough to give me pause.
SOMETHING's getting out, you can't deny that.

Thinking of piping the video from that Sony Handicam from a few years back to this?
Remember? The one that if you switched on the 'Night Vision' feature you could see through clothing?
Erm...Maybe not such a good thought so soon after the 'Tron Costume' story here......

Raises attendance among the homeless.
Public restrooms raise attendance on the weekends.
Giveaways at car lots raises attendance.
Does any of this mean more business?
The fact that you specified that it's his 'unused' concept art that kicks ass worries me a bit.
'Oh, what you see in the movies from this guy kinda sucks...but you should SEE what they reject!'
Model planes to me. Had one when I was a kid.
Fit in backpack. Was a little over a foot wide. Flew it into a window once...oh wait......
You're right, I'll rephrase.
The only people I'VE not seen drooling over them are Anonymous Cowards. There y'go.

HOW? The only people I've NOT seen drooling over them are...*shrugs*

IE for the Mac has been discontinued for a reason.
Nobody used it anymore. We have too many good options.
Mozilla, Firefox, Camino, Safari, the new Opera...
Take your pick!
