For speaker cable at least, don't bother buying monster cable. Buy a cheap extension cord and cut off the plugs. You'll end up with a much better gauge of wire than anything you can get from Monster for a fraction of the price.

At the show I went to, people were chanting for him to do Pee Pants, and he admitted that he had to pitch it painfully far up. His voice was too worn out to actually do it, but he tried at least.
So no, it's not his natural voice for the ATHF characters.
This all depends on the size and budget of the website in question. A thorough backend can run anywhere from a couple grand to 50k+, but I find they usually are around 5k. For small to medium-small businesses, it's cheaper to train someone to use a prewritten SQL admin utility (like phpMyAdmin) over than to spend thousands on a custom backend that only one or two people will end up using.
WMP9 (supposed, I can't confirm -- but some WMP product is generating these) creates files with the WMV3 codec, which I have had zero success with playing with any Mac or Linux player except for Windows Media Player on the Mac. To make problems worse, if the WMV3 video is encapsulated by an avi or any other format, WMP for Mac will not open it, as it is limited to.asf and.wmv container formats.
TiVo does have a 30 second skip button -- you just need to unlock it.
SELECT PLAY SPELECT 3 0 SELECT (you will hear three dings)
Then 'skip to the end of this show' button turns into a 30 second skip -- but still works its previous match when used in conjunction with the fast forward button.
OSX still has some major unaddressed issues with Samba with storage and managment of resource forks. Resource forks are stored across Samba shares as._filename files. These filenames are created transparently by OSX -- but there's a catch. As they're a separate file, they maintain their own locks and permissions. Several OSX applications weren't written for with the idea that resource forks could be separate lockable files, and as such leave their resource forks locked! Several apps have gotten better, but just about all of the Macromedia suite, earlier versions of the Adobe suite (notably Illustrator 10 which wouldn't even let you do a normal 'save' across a share -- but 'Save as' would work if you were willing to go through the hassle of it each time), and several other apps (including Apple's own like Quicktime) all had these problems.
I've actually talked with an Apple Engineer about this, and was assured this would be addressed in Tiger (10.4). In the meanwhile though, I gave up and just got the boss to purchase an Xserve.
Nintendo had deal last Winter where if you bought either 2 specified Nintendo games (I got mine with FF:CC and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) -or- if you bought a new Gamecube in that period -or- if you signed up for Nintendo Power, you would get a disc with Zelda 1, 2, OoT, and MM.
If only people would use ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD for dates), the standard for representing date time. It's extremely hard to confuse it with any other formats (as I've never seen anyone write YYYY-DD-MM), and it has the added bonus of being able to sort it chronologically by sorting it numerically.
A weird thing with priceline was that they never actually did any checking or accounting with the groceries thing. I think this is eventually what put her under. I occasionally when using the service would get an alternate brand if the brand I 'won' was out of stock, and noticed that the card never really cared.
Well, my friend's mom noticed too. She would reguarly just put ALL of her groceries on her priceline card. She'd charge things priceline's website didn't even offer, like lobsters, to the card, and she never got charged from it. Even when priceline groceries went under and refunded you what you hadn't spend no groceries, she never got a bill or anything.
I find it quite more likely that they would store an ID number in the cookie and store the actual tracking information on their side than store all the data in a cookie. Besides, it makes more sense for them to keep information which is potentially useful for them safe on their side rather than wild in your cookie file.
Next thing you know, they'll take the money out of your bank account for you, without you even having to ask, and then personally deliver the porn to your door.
Girls Gone Wild does do this:)
this is the easy part. go download the floppy image in the approparite arch, dd it to a floppy, boot, and do a netinstall. you can't directly download the iso's of openbsd as they are copyright theo, so if you want a cd, you have to buy it. but if you're not a dialup (which you probably arent if you want to download isos), just do the netinstall.

I'd like to reinterate that, based on the original post, this is most likely for a home machine and *not* a server. He's coming from a machine that previously used FAT32, so I'd guess this is the guy's family/game machine. Besides that, how many of NetBSD's multiple file systems are journalling and support ACL's? And of those, if there are any, have had the years of being proven through use? There are a ton of things that open software is good for, but file systems really wont be it for a few years to come still.

On my (first gen) MP-G4, you need to have seperate partitions for it to appear on the bootup list, system folders wont cut it. If you have OS9 and OSX on the same partition, only OS9 will show up, but both will if its seperate drives. Maybe this has changed on new G4's, but my roommate got the latest gen MPG4 two weeks ago, and it has the exact same procedure for it.
Whenever an any story gets posted related to OSX, fists full of (mostly Linux-only Non-Mac) users post mutations of rumors that they've heard at one point or another. Please allow me to clarify:
OSX uses the Mach microkernel. It does not use a BSD kernel, although its user land utilities (eg:/bin) are from BSD. Its basically Nextstep with an iMac'd face. Please remember that Apple *bought* Nextstep, so this is no surprise.
It fully supports SMP (for its IMO very nice new MP boxes), pre emptive multitasking, and protected memory. OS9 and below did not support these, and is the main reason why it was very much crash prone.
Its display engine is called Quartz. It is based on PDF. It is not based on postscript. Early versions of it were based on postscript, and it was called DPS (D for display). Its engine is not called Aqua, Aqua is just an interface theme, repeat: a theme. It also offers a theme called graphite, which is mostly grey instead of blue and other colors to make it easier on the eyes of graphics developers.
The final retail build of it is 4K78.
Do not expect it to be availible for x86 processors until either Apple goes belly up and decides to open it for some reason, or if Apple starts using x86 processors in its machines. Darwin, the open source kernel of OSX, is availlible for x86, but that by no means includes most of the reasons people want OSX.
Apple is a hardware company, they really aren't making any money directly off of the OS, but they hope the allure hardware sales with OSX. Apple hardware is much more expensive than x86 hardware, but you get what you pay for. Part of the reason why the entire OSX experience will be nice, is that there will not be a swarm of nothing but third party hardware to deal with; you are assured your hardware will work as good as it possibly can.
