I grabbed the Safari 3 Beta for MacOS X, installed it, restarted, and opened Safari. Unfortunately, no window comes up. Apple-N doesn't bring up a new window. However, Apple-T *does* (along with a new tab). From there, no sites will load. Safari just pretends as though I didn't do anything. Clicking a bookmark bar button will set it "down", but it wont come back up or load anything.
The ONLY weapons which caused 911 were surprise and bad assumptions.
Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons...
That's my design professor's set of slides. He reads them word for word. When he's in a particularly good mood, he paraphrases what he just said after every slide.
Also: He teaches design.
Let me emphasize because it's vaguely important: DESIGN.
He also uses clip-art in his syllabus. And no, I'm not joking.
I've seen this coming for a long time. I chronicled my trials and tribulations of trying to get my domain names back on my blog, which some people may find interesting:
Ditto for me. About a week an a half ago, I ordered my MacBook 1.83GHz. The ship date is pegged as shipping out on the 11th and arriving on the 18th. I'd be a happy camper if that meant a speed bump!

Do car makers say their cars have "4 seats", because one is taken up by the driver?
No computer maker reports their product's number of ports based on what they thing you might or might not have plugged in to it. I just don't understand how saying your computer has 5 ports when it... has 5 ports is misleading.
"My car has 5 seats."

I'm amazed at how my "generation" (currently in college) still doesn't "get it". They put their full names on their blogs and post the most insane crap. One of my friends, in particular, posts all about her chronic depression, experiments with drugs, and sex escapades. And that blog is the 4th result in Google for her name. The other three are clearly unrelated.
Why shame yourself in public? It's not like attaching your name to your insipid and boring personal "I had eggs for breakfast" blog is going to bring you fame and fortune. Go anonymous and have some fun. Stop doing everything to get attention.
I actually think these "best comment" overviews are pretty nice. I typically lurk at Slashdot to read the articles and the best-rated comments (sort by mod level etc.) as many others do, I think. These overviews can bring up some of the awesome points that Slashdotters make on articles.
And therein, we find why Slashdot kicks Digg's ass: comments. At Slashdot, the comments are worth more than the articles. They're funny, insightful, and often times better than the article itself. Digg, on the other hand, makes me want to claw out the part of my brain that parses written language. God.
"AMAZING video of dood drivving RILLY FAST!!!!!!!"
"APLe Macs are for gays!!!!!!!!!!"
So, you know, hooray Slashdot.
Potentially, Slashdot could work in a better way of featuring the best comments instead of posting entire new articles, but in either case, I like it.
If the ads drive you up a wall, use an adblocker. Personally, I actually have found some of the things advertised to be worthwhile to me, as opposed to the "IF THIS MAKES YOU SPACK OUT, YOU'RE A WINNER!" ads.
Here at CalPoly (San Luis Obispo), they use our social security number as our student ID. Our student ID goes on pretty much any and all paperwork. You can't buy a soda without giving your SSN (literally! We can use our ID cards to buy sodas.)
What could possibly go wrong?!
(Well, for one, the accounts office lost my direct deposit form with SSN and checking account information. I turned in the form and two months later, "We don't have it!")
CalPoly is begging to be the next big identity theft story.

Since when did a large group of people all have to come to a consensus on how to think? Person A can say this is lame and Person B can say Dell rules.
Oh my god! Differing viewpoints!
Oh, you think you're so funny.

Not a single mention of MC Frontalot? Are you people nuts?!

He's the most nerdcore!
Is it possible to link to something better than a site that's 50% advertisements and a 14 sentence article? Surely there's a better site than this.
Is this the best we can do?
Thank you for your attention. You may now return to your regularly scheduled modding down.
Man, thank God I wont ever have to actually interact and entertain my kids!
I'll just upgrade them from a pacifier to a DS when they get old enough. That should hold 'em off until I can ship them off to college.
