I am a formerly trained Marine Biologist and a Macromedia Director programmer by trade.
We studied the ocean in my 4+ years of college and climate systems and what I got out of it is "don't fuck with it because you don't know what will happen."
Put sugar or corn syrup in their gas tanks. pour fish oil and rancid milk in their sunroofs so they get into the carpet. Put water in their gas tanks. Shove ball pearings in their mufflers. Shove bannanas and potatoes in their exhausts. Pour Nail polish remover on their car's paint. Sandpaper their windshield. Pour sulfuric or battery acid on their roofs. Place sulfuric acid packs in their mufflers. Spray sulfiric acid on their brakes, rims and paint. On a hot day, put M&Ms or pennies on their paint. Rip off their external mirrors. Superglue or epoxy in their door locks. Spraypaint all the car's glass. Mix sulfiric acid with vaseline and apply it to the inside of the door handles. Apply sulfric acid to the window seals. With chipper pliers, clip the tire stems.
Direct actions would be: - outlaw spam with serious penalties for offenders - make all internet relay operators and sys admins legally liable for keeping their systems up to date and locked down. - migrate AWAY from MS based systems. Security is an afterthought.
Anyone care to compare the value of this project should put a $$ sign on their TIME and then check out used macs selling on places like http://www.Craigslist.org.
Unless you are in school and po or your time is just not worth a lot of money (or you have more time than money), this project is not cost effecient. Cool for sure though.

I live by my shortcuts and that's just stupid. 2) Where the HELL did file selection ala keyboard go in open and save dialogs? You can't type the name of your file and select your file. ARRRRGGH!

It seems that details that matter to the Few, the proud, the hardcore Mac faithful aren't there. I can get the pinwheel of death to show in a g4 667 or a g3 400 just by doing basic stuff.
The fine tuning that made 9 WORK for me that I live on is not there. For me, Unix is user hostile and it may be the underpinnings of a stable foundation for the OS but I want to be even more isolated from it.
With my powerbook g3 500, no external antenna and that scanning script I have, we can drive at 60 to 65 miles an hour and still pick up networks. We tested this from Napa to San Francisco in my buddy's Blazer. Tests in my Beemer at 138 mph have been less successful.
So I leave it to the reader to further refine the "pickup speed" if he/she so desires.
Paste this script into Applescript's script editor, open the event log, make sure speech is enabled and your volume is up. Check show events and the show results toggles. Now drive around town. Whenever you encounter an 802.11 access point, the computer will speak to you with the name of the network. The network's specifics will be listed in the event log. Enjoy, Zav

We need to get together, identify solutions for spam, document them, approach congress through the appropriate channels and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Spammers should be shot but till they are, we'll keep getting it so let's do something about it.
What are the business implications against spam? What is the cost to an ISP of spam traffic? What is the cost to a company or individual of their mailserver getting hijacked for spam? How much does spam cost us in a social level, quality of life level, loss of time level and business distraction level?

With enough geeks, you can bring any weebsite to its knees.
Two years? I heard only two weeks. Might be imporrant to find out.

Yikes. This stuff scares me.
In a Hexagon? It is called an OCTAGON you moron.
Find their cars.
Put sugar or corn syrup in their gas tanks.
pour fish oil and rancid milk in their sunroofs so they get into the carpet.

Shove ball pearings in their mufflers.

Pour Nail polish remover on their car's paint.
Sandpaper their windshield.
Pour sulfuric or battery acid on their roofs.

So the headphones are glued on? Cut and splice tha cables or dissolve the glue with solvent. Start with nailpolish remover.
That's my low tech solution to their low tech solution.
For god's sake, all this copy protection is idiotic.
Plug the unit into the sound in input of your computer, record each song and enter the MP3 tags yourself.
Use a tape recorder.
These people are beyond braindead.

Anyone know what happened to XTCRadio??
They appear to no longer have a DNS entry.
This makes me sad.
re: point 5. Buttons in things like the Preferences panel look just like icons. It gets confusing without clear delineation.
My apologies. The press release was pushed out just a few days ago. Maybe it is an advancement on the previous technique??
But I'm really getting sick of his calls at 2 in the morning.
Can I Say YES YES YES?
File extensions are the spawn of the Devil and should be shot and put out of my misery.

That is warm salt water. Use it to gargle. For viral throat infection (clear phlegm).
It works. It is simple My DR told me about it. Really helps with colds. Pretty amazing if you think about it.
I have my theories but you don't need to hear em. Just try it. 2 to 3 times a day or when your throat is sore.
