  1. Re:Is it legal to do this? on Will the Solve-the-Riddle Hiring Trend Affect IT? · · Score: 1

    I don't think the second page is the end of the challenge.

  2. Re:Possible iTunes bug on Apple Announces iTunes 7, Movies, Set-Top Box · · Score: 1

    Windows.

  3. Possible iTunes bug on Apple Announces iTunes 7, Movies, Set-Top Box · · Score: 1

    I was listening to music in iTunes 7 when I went to the iPod games page (), which has an embedded Quicktime movie. When the movie started playing the music in iTunes started playing at double time, like it was being fast forwarded. Anyone else care to try to see if it's an iTunes bug?

  4. Re:Typos on DIY Random Number Generator · · Score: 1

    Nope...read the article again to see the full context:

    The guys over at Inventgeek have come up with a project and how artical on building a random number generator...

  5. Typos on DIY Random Number Generator · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think it should read:

    and how to article on...

    And I have to wonder...that is less than 100.00 what?

  6. Not Available in Canada on The $899 Educational iMac · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unfortunately it's not available in Canada apparently. I called the Apple Store and they couldn't tell me if it would be eventually either. It's a shame.

  7. Re:Options dialog messed up? on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 1

    And to reply to myself apparently this only happens on one computer, since at work it looks fine. I have no idea why.

  8. Options dialog messed up? on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else's options dialog look hideous? For example on the Downloads section whatever button is at the bottom is totally cut off by the bottom of the dialog, and there's no way to resize it. This is on Windows, haven't tried my Mac.

  9. OSX on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It'd be nice if they released a build for OSX. The only 2.0 build they've had for as long as I've been checking is a development build in french.

  10. Autocomplete on Google Firefox Toolbar Out Of Beta · · Score: 1

    Autocomplete doesn't work for me anymore now that I've installed the update toolbar. This has happened on 3 different computers...has anyone else seen this?

  11. New client on Interview with SETI@home Director David Anderson · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Am I the only one that stopped participating once they switched to this new client they use now? I couldn't get it to work on either my work or home computers...

  12. Gaim patch on Microsoft Linux Lab Manager Responds · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that finds it amusing that they submitted a Gaim patch to fix an MSN issue when MS (and most other major IM networks) have a history of doing their best to ensure third party clients don't work on their networks?

    Even if there were any seeders, has anyone verified that it actually is what it says it is?
  14. Re:Ummm...this is 2005. on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    Easy now. I'm not saying that in every possible situation this would work, but in current times piercings, tattoos, and coloured hair are much more the norm.

    I like your story though, and I think it's wicked that you told them to get lost. I hope you found a better job with a more understanding company :)

  15. Re:Ummm...this is 2005. on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or get the job first, then dye the hair or whatever. Once you're in the door and they value you as an employee they won't care if your hair is a different colour.

  16. Re:iCal under MacOS X! on Where is the Killer Calendar? · · Score: 1

    Plus it works well for subscribing to calendars published by Sunbird. The only thing I wish I could do was have write access to the shared calendars from both applications.

  17. Re:AMD64 on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's my question...I can see how Apple could choose Intel as the chip for the Mac product line, but does this mean that OS X will be runable on _any_ x86 proc?

    They have also declared war on the poor.

  20. Re:Triumph on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 1

    Except that if you read the story you will see that they are handing out flyers for a charity (Starlight Starbright foundation I believe), so I think this is part nerddom, part publicity stunt. You can't buy that online.

  21. Re:I've got a Creative Nomad on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My first harddrive based player was Zen 2.0 and I thought the same thing. "What a steal! So much cheaper than an iPod, more space, etc." Then I was given an iPod as a gift and the second I had it out of the box I knew why iPod is the premier player on the market. It feels good, it looks good, and it works great. Compared to the iPod the Zen felt like having a brick in my pocket, the interface and software sucked horribly, and I couldn't stand the tiny little screen. The only thing the Zen had that the iPod doesn't that I really liked was the remote with LCD, but even that was halfassed. It would only display the track name...no artist information. And when I'm playing a playlist of a few hundred songs I'd like to be able to see that since I can't remember every track by every band.

  22. I'll still trust it on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1

    As someone that just got nailed by an IE DSO exploit, I have no qualms downloading Firefox from an official mirror. Signing with a trusted GPG key would be a trivial undertaking, so maybe MS should go back to the drawing board and forget their potshots at a wonderful project.

  23. Re:LIAR on IT Practice Within Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    None of those systems belong to Microsoft...you can see that clearly by looking at the Netblock column. Skip ahead until you get to systems that actually belong to MS and they are all running Windows variants.
