  1. Standalone... for All Platforms? on IE6 SP1 Will Be Last Standalone Version · · Score: 1

    So... does this "decision" affect IE development for OS X as well?

    Not that there's been anything new for IE there... 5.22 is about it right now.

    I'm wondering if they're going to start bundling updates into Office for Mac.

  2. Cardinal Modems on Open-Sourcing Discontinued Hardware · · Score: 2

    Funny thing about proprietary hardware - some companies never bother releasing specs after being dissolved or swallowed, and customers wind up getting the shaft. I once bought a DSP modem that was "upgradeable" with firmware upgrades.
    Pift! Gone was Cardinal, and with them those potential upgrades.

  3. Gotta Catch 'em all... on A Post-Columbine Halloween Horror Story · · Score: 1

    Katz and the kid do have a point -
    "Watch what you say"
    We're living in a time where free expression stops at the slightest hint of mental deviance.
    This *does* relate to the Columbine shootings, and the Atlanta shootings... and every other incident
    where pissed-off kids couldn't find a better way to express their rage, their frustration, than by violent actions against their peers.

    There's a reason these shootings and detainments are happening in *schools*, people. Not the local wal-mart, not McDonalds, not the local hangout - Something's flawed about the way people relate to one another in school.
    What new differences, new pressures are kids giving each other these days?

    Oh, forget it. It's all a y2k bug. Not enough marmalade on the toast in the morning. or any breakfast at all. Our Children are Undernourished! They're threatening each other for sport! Our lives are lacking! The Spirit of the Suburban Schoolkid is being stamped on by an (imagined?) Orwellian boot...

    Excuse my ranting, please. They've shut the water off to my apartment complex, I'm hungry and poor, and it's damn hard to get up into the bell tower with this rifle in my backpack...
