I used MacPaint to create perfect reproductions of my SJSU report cards to add classes I was not actually taking in order to show I was a full time student to get various discounts (car insurance, American Express student travel program for $120 coast to coast RT flights, etc).
Yeah, I should note I have a 12" PB, which is notorious for fan activity.
Currently it is on an aluminum contractors clipboard on my lap, the kind that you can open up and put invoices in. It makes a dandy heat sink on the cheap, functionally not unlike the iLap when it comes to drawing heat away.
So the fans power up 6 times a year or less? Come on, seriously now.
Crimony- The fans on my G4/867MHz/640MB PB power up so often every day I am afraid OSHA is going to give me a warning for myself. I use my PB about 6-8 hours a day, so it is constantly getting a workout. I love the system, no doubt, but it certainly heats up often. I usually only have browser based apps, a shell or 3 and sometimes a mail client on, but that's it.
I am a rightie who started mousing 10 years ago with the left hand because of issues I had with RSI with my right arm, in effect, turning me into a left hander for computer use. I don't have any problems, but I may be missing something with problems you see personally from being a leftie using rightie layouts/interface design.
MOG publishes her stuff through her own company she calls G2 Computer Intelligence (for a laugh, read her self serving bio: http://www.g2news.com/editors.html). Sys-Con, I believe, was a syndicated outlet.
I remember using that stuff as it was in our bathroom- I can still remember the smell. I remember thinking 'Why the hell would you put honey in a shampoo? To attract insects?'
You sure are obsessed with moderation. You were almost impying that the OP pulled it out of his ass, when it was just one of the many rumours flying around. I merely pointed out an article which explains where it came from.
In any event, see my other post in this thread as well.
By default, Safari and Mozilla (on Mac and Windows) download files directly to ~/Desktop. When Safari downloads a widget, it is placed in ~/Library/Widgets
Hmm.. I haven't downloaded one widget via Safari that wasn't zipped and they just extract to the directory they are downloaded to. IOW, I have not d/l a widget that did not require my physically moving the file to ~/Library/Widgets
Well, personally for me the time saved in waiting for shipment to arrive makes up for it; I've learned to be very impulsive with Internet commerce, and music is no exception. I've only bought about a half dozen songs individually but I have purchased about 25 CD's worth (a few of which I have original vinyl copies I've purchased as far back as the late 70s). Plus I can burn a physical CD of it and rip to MP3 for other devices; I'm not as picky about the file quality as many people are, so the whole bag works very well for me.
For someone looking for a budget 19" LCD, a great one is made by Envision. Fry's was selling them for sale about 2 months ago for $350 which was reasonable alone for that size but also had one of those $50 rebate deals. I got my $50 a couple days ago, and the monitor is fantastic. They had a 17" model by another manufacturer there that day for a little less but when I looked at the reviews, they were all negative. Then I read the Ensonic reviews and people were raving about them. I bought it and was very pleased.
Fry's online presence, Outpost.com no longer carries the 19" one, though they did at the same time they had the sale I bought mine on.
Unfortunatlely, not being present, I can't make a definitive judgement call on it. People's whose lives are destroyed after smear campaigns have been known to do it. I could have put suicide in "quotes" to imply the sinister, but I figured linking to a blurb which gives a passing implication to the possibility rather than an actual obituary would suffice for the reader.
On top of that, It's not like the little dust that would be in the air is any worse than all the shit we already inhale here on Earth.
It might serve you well to RTFA:
Moon dust is much more jagged than dust on Earth because there's no water or wind on the moon to toss it around and grind down its edges.
*snip*
Also, the dust is littered with bonded shards of glass and minerals known as agglutinates, which were formed in the heat of meteorite impacts. Agglutinates have not been found on Earth, and scientists worry that the human body may not be able to expel them efficiently if inhaled.
"They have sharp angles, with arms that stick out and little hooks," said David McKay, chief scientist for astrobiology at NASA's Johnson Space Center. "It's like Velcro."

I would say that MacPaint was a demo/toy program
Sorry, pal-
I used MacPaint to create perfect reproductions of my SJSU report cards to add classes I was not actually taking in order to show I was a full time student to get various discounts (car insurance, American Express student travel program for $120 coast to coast RT flights, etc).
The fact is, MacPaint saved me money!

Name the company. You don't work there anymore, so spill it.
Interesting that the Kha-Nyou are vegetarian rats; that's certainly an oddity.
I believe the fellow quoted in the article is mistaken- these rodents are vegans.
I thought this was another exposé on a spammer.
And right according to Snopes- he didn't:

It was a hoax.
But there is so much disinformation out there, it's hard to know who to believe sometimes.
The person who modded it as insightful likely read the same stories we did.

Actually, recent reporting suggests the industry let Apple drive the price, much to it's later consternation.
I'm not prepared to pay for price for an album to get a few good songs.
Ahh well, I almost only purchase albums that has nearly all quality songs, then the per song pricing bought in an album is more attractive.
Your on-topic comment re: esr coupled with your .sig content is rather humorous.
"Family Entertainment and Copyright Act."
Just write a bill, put 'family' in the title, and it's sure to pass.
I had Grandma knit me a keyboard cosy. Now it stays nice and warm when my office gets too much AC.
(For the inevitable questions about what a cosy is.)

Actually, you'd do better to find and link Gary Webb's original 1996 story from the San Jose Mercury News, Dark Alliance.
Once the boat started rocking uncontrollably after the SJMN published it, they backpedalled furiously and effectively destroyed Webb's career. Webb interviewed after Mercury pulls series from web site.
The book Dark Alliance was pretty powerful stuff. Webb committed suicide in December.
And of course none of this has anything to do with the space shuttle.
