    have you not heard of MOBILE TELEPHONES yet in your part of the world? I understand that many come with an ability to store several TELEPHONE "NUMBERS". I know, it sounds crazy.

    Obviously not. If it were secret you wouldn't know about it, QED.

    in England such a modification would be hailed as a BODGE.

    oh come on! OS9 is - right now - a MUCH more viable OS than OSX. Shitloads faster too.

    there's no need for a world without MS - Mac users can remember a time when they used Excel and Word and ENJOYED it - MS can actually crank out some decent apps when they want, it's just so fucking sad that there's pure evil at the heart of the corporation, MS could be just like Adobe. This scenario may actually come to pass if Linux ever fulfills it's promise to become the OS to end all OS'.

  13. Re:*RIP*, Mix , Burn on Disney Blames Apple For Music Piracy · · Score: 1

    Mac users are so touchy because of the breathtaking ignorance that we encounter from others on a day to day basis. Almost all Mac users also have to use Windows during the course of their working lives, whereas almost no Windows users do the opposite - so Mac users generally know FULL WELL just what they're missing. It's a conscious choice to use a Mac, not a decision taken out of ignorance or incompetence. You MUST work in tech support to have an attitude like you do - no-one else in my experience is so astonishingly arrogant.

    RCA/NBC invented TV?? You've obviously never heard of John Logie Baird. TV is most definitely a British (Scottish) invention. As is so often the case - just because the US doesn't bother with the rest of the planet (except to drop bombs on them once in a while) doesn't mean it's not there. Yes, the USA had colour TV first - but your system was so crap that almost nobody else adopted it. TV was invented in Britain and first broadcast (experimentally) in Germany. The world's first scheduled TV broadcasts were made by the BBC from Alexandra Palace in north London.

    hmmm... LaserDisc is a hybrid analogue/digital format - but the 12" laser disc can store data in a number of well domentented formats.

  21. Re:lifespan of cds on 1086 Domesday Book Outlives 1986 Electronic Rival · · Score: 1

    of the 253 CD Audio discs that I own, exactly ONE is corroded - and that still plays fine (it's Incunabula by Autechre if you're interested - I told Warp records and they sent me a new one!). It's difficult toknow when I bought the first of these disks, but it must have been around 1985 or so when I got my Philips CD16. I only found the corroded disc when I was transcoding my discs to mp3 format last year in iTunes.

    LASER is an acronym, of course. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (or something...) and LaserDisc is a TRADEMARK so there's only one way to spell it - the RIGHT way. I think Pioneer owns the TM.

  23. Re:Amazing over-focus on Jef Raskin Talks Skins · · Score: 1

    you don't know shit about BMW - they are very proud of their driver ergonomics and rightly so - go look at a 6-series from the eighties and then a modern 3-series. Not much change, still superbly functional. I love the way you think this stuff is guesswork - try looking up Anthropometrics or Ergonomics some time.

    yep, no intelligent train of thought would EVER lead to an abomination like the Viper. I was under the enduring impression that the machine was some kind of joke - but am I to understand that it's actually an object of desire for you? wow.
