He tricked out the machine to use the original typewriter keyboard, hacked the carriage return lever to act as the return key, cleverly grafted a trackball onto the side of the typewriter chassis to replace the mouse. The grafted on trackball looks just like part of the chassis.
There are exposed vacuum tubes and the chassis of the Mac, as well as the CRT are alao exposed.
There is a swingaway Fresnel lens in front of the mac CRT.
Recall the computer Theora used in the old Max Headroom TV series? That's a lot what the ElectriClerk looks like.
Dude, after drinking all that beer, and you really have to piss, well, you've likely got a stack of empty cans near at hand...
Which is why I'm developing the PISSBOY robot!
Logon, give PISSBOY your dorm number and he'll come over and remove all those beer cans full of your hot, frothy urine and safely dispose of it in the nearest potted plant in the common room.
So meringuoid sez:
"When there's an optical mouse where I can change the colour of the glow on the underside to suit my mood that day, then I'll want one more than I want this cool thing."
Here you go, mate! The Grast multicolor mouse.
Like the mousepad, it can be set for a single color or it will smoothly cycle through the spectrum.
...they begin selling anime monocycles with the one big ass wheel and all that other cool stuff that anime monocycles with the one big ass wheel all have.
You just KNOW that he's the illegitimate offspring of a couple of smelly hippies. He was, I'm sure, born in some wretched commune and had the crap beaten out of him by all the kids at school, even the geeks.
So now, in the classic "rebel against the parents" reaction, he's a big shot (in his own mind, maybe) newspaper columnist who essentially knows squat about the technology he writes about, and just loves to "stick it" to Mom and Dad by kissing Bill Gates' ass as often as possible in his GLOBE column.

Bray is a joke. All the Mac geeks I know, and quite a few of the Windows geeks, too, laugh at Bray and his moronic sputterings.
Although, having the same name has been useful in getting reservations and upgrades and the like. You just got to know when to drop the name into the phone conversation with the drone on the other end of the line.

"PPS: Does anyone know why the CATS prize had (and Ansari X-Prize has) time limits?"
In the case of the CATS prize, turns out nobody wanted All Your Base, due to the federal, stae and local taxes. Not to mention the shipping costs.
So nobody entered.
But iCab sure can!
All I got was the goatse guy and a scat image.
No popups! Not a one.
Ah, iCab on Mac OS. No BS web browsing.

It is one VERY sexy/Retro casemod!
Warm, fresh doughnuts to all concernred.
Mmmmmmmmmmm....... Doughnuts!
"for a second there I thought koolio was a beer drinking robot.."
You're thinking of Bender.
Ah... Bender! A role model for all robots to come!
First Law: A Bender unit shall disregard all orders given it by a human.
Second Law: A Bender shall protect it's own existance, even at the cost of human life. Don't forget to loot the corpse(s) afterwards!
Third Law: If it's not nailed down, it's mine! If it's nailed down and I can bend the nails, it's no longer nailed down and it's mine!
Forth Law; "Kiss my shiny metal ass, meatsack!"

If that Bombardier thing actually can work, then we really could see a honkin' big monocycle.
I can't see therse things EVER for sale in the U.S. or Canada. It's got suicide machine writen all over it.
Man, I HATE having to screw with a URL to get it to work.
Embed your links, folks. It's easy.
Here's the original link , embedded for your browsing convenience.
That said, the monocycle at this site is not the anime monocycle I lust after.
Yeah, it's a "monocycle" but no where near as cool or life-endangering as the anime monocycles.
Thanks for the tip!
Get back to me when you have a URL that does more than return a 404.
There's a good chap!

The name says it all.

Sorry, guys, you'll get no money from me!

I sincerely apologise for the above. Really.
"In episode 14.3, "Voyage to Gomor's star" the small, rectilinear object that Ohura uses on the salt monster looks EXACTLY like a Palm"
Ohura ye say? Sure, and she must have been one o' them black Irish.

It's obvious.

Where are my mod points when I really need them!

No, I'm not him. (THANK YOU, Jesus!!)
I'm 52, so I claim prior art.

You have made me laugh out loud, twice.
Thank you for your witty commentary!
I've said it before and I'll say it once again:
We need another moderation topic.
Linux Bigot.
Just for people like this clown.
Intereting point.
I'd be interested in hearing what a (Non-pimping for the RIAA) lawyer would have to say on the subject.
As long as there's no EULA included with a CD that specifically states that you can't do this, I suspect that it's legal.
Oh, hell! I've just given the RIAA an idea they could use!
Bugger!
How to legally obtain music for your iPod.
Step One: Buy used CDs of the music you want on your iPod
Step Two: Rip to MP3 or AAC.
Step Four: Transfer files to iPod
Step Five: Sell all those CDs you just bought to another used CD shop
And as a plus, you've thumbed your nose at the RIAA by buying used CDs.
Of course, if you're a really cheap sod, you just borrow CDs from your local library and rip them.
