All you friggin whino's, read the article!!!
AND I QUOTE:
"iPod Software 1.3 is compatible with touch-wheel and scroll-wheel iPods without a dock connector."
A bill in congress that would require Senators to consider free alternatives to typically pricey local hookers was shot down by the local Brothel Union. "Faithfulness to wives is simply not an option," said the B.U. prez, Vixie, "our senators work sooo hard doing all that... senator-stuff. They don't have time to spend taxpayer dollars rationally. Have you gone nuts?!?"
More of the same old stuff...
"I WANT THIS!!!"
"GIMME GIMME GIMME"
"ME WANT NOW!!!"
In the meantime, I'm quite content with my Cheez-Its while I toy around with this PC I found in a dumpster.
P.S. Can we give up the goddamn "iPDA" crap???
1. War drive through Main Street, there is quite a few hotspts that you can nab. There's a Starbucks too, if you happen to have a tmobile account (That's a little further east, on Broadway). Most people here are... Computer illeterate, so you might not find many hotspots, but the ones you do find will be unprotected. I have yet to spend longer than 10 minutes On Main Street looking for a good hotspot.
(Super Secret Tip: Park out front of Gelato's. That's the best spot.)
2. There are *no* good computer stores up here. None. Office Max doesn't count. The closest good computer store is in Sacramento (CompUSA). There's a Fry's on Northridge Road, which is really nice.
3. There is no number 3... THERE IS NO NUMBER 3!!!
I read it about 6 months ago, and even though I really don't read comics, it was an awesome book. I'd reccomend it to anyone who can remember being as infatuated with comics as I was a long time ago.
Which my be a good thing. I Used to recieve about 20 spams a day before iTools became.Mac, and now I hardly recieve anything at all!
Errr, I mean, hardly any spam.
To me, the whole reason I *hate* eBooks is that it's entirely counter to the whole reading expirience. I like to be able to sit down and flip open a good smelling book and *feel* the whole thing as I read it.
I also like to not have to worry about batteries, screen glare, squinting at the small screen, etc etc
Plus, electronics are still too fragile. Can you drop your eBook reader 10ft on to concrete without worrying? Not that we do it intentionally, but accidents happen. Paper books are some of the most durable and long lasting storage methods around.
I mean, what's the longest lasting digital medium? CDs? 50 years?!?! Paper lasts thousands of years!
So I'll stick with my grand 'ol paper books.
Let me know when eBooks are practical (if I'm not dead by then...).
(Yes, I had a Palm V. I tried the eBook thing and it was bad. The screen *alone* was hell to read. Who want's to read a book on a flickery screen anyways? Whip out a 5 pound laptop to read a book the size of that laptop's battery? Squint at a bad screen for 20 hours?)
Just because you played Nitendo games as a kid doesn't mean that they have to suit you.
This is like expecting Fisher Price to grow up with you and make sex toys now that you're 22.
C'mon, if they want to target kids, let them do so, it's a hell of a profitable market really. Let Playstation 2 be the adult toy.
Just think, those people who sell thouse ear-protectors from the "deadly rays of cell phones" are going to have a hell of a fun time with this one. I can see it now...
"YOU COULD GET CANCER UNLESS YOU BUY OUR ROLL OF TIN FOIL... ERRR... WE MEAN, PROTECTIVE MATERIAL!!! THERE'S WAVES EVERYWHERE! AHAGHAHGA!!! MY HEAD! IT HURTS!"
Maybe it's not the waves that are frying our brains...
Given enough resources, large companies can "pollute" these networks with "garbage" (i.e. corrupted songs etc.) that top people's search lists so that it becomes an intensely frustrating thing to find a full, complete, and good quality file.
What makes you think the deaf cant drive? That's like saying the blind can't listen to music, the mute can't read, etc etc. The nice thing about being a deaf driver would be that you wouldn't have to listen to those stupid double-digit Civics with "phat" mufflers on them (or the pathetic music these morons blast on their cheap-a** stereos, thinking it's the coolest thing).
Oh, and on the topic of these cars, why do they put rear air spoilers on a front wheel drive car?
*Sigh* My P.O.S. 1987 Nissan Maxima has more power than some of these.
I shall now burn in "-1 Flamebait" and "-1 Offtopic" hell. AGHHH!!!
I just can not picture myself on a bus looking at this wildly articulate mout while yelling back: "Can yoo reepeeet dat agaannn???"
Yes, I am hearing impaired. I would NEVER touch this thing. I'll stick with 2 way messaging.
If they are going to repeal laws regarding drugs, I think they have another thing coming their way. If they manage to repeal all the anti-drug laws, guess what, the druggies will come, en masse. I'm not saying all people who abuse substances are "stoners" etc, but you must realize that heavy and frequent drug users are the people who are not going to contribute much to the society. They'll be to busy getting stoned, smashed, shitfaced etc to help maintain the roads or help the community (like most of they pay their taxes anyways).
The whole point of many of the drug laws is to keep the population from falling into massive drug use. Would America be where it is today if 70% or so of the American populace was heavy in to drugs?
It's a known fact that drugs are extremely harmful to the mind, and when these brain damaged people flock to this place, I'll guaratee you this:
1. The federal government will have their eye on the people's drug use.
2. The colony will eventually fall apart due to gross incompetence among the populace.
Then again, I'm no expert on this. This only my two cents worth. What does everyone else think?
The study's data is skewed because most Linux systems dual-boot with Windows, whereas MacOS systems typically ONLY boot MacOS (X or otherwise). I personaly will dual-boot Debian and MacOS X 10.2 when my new PowerBook arrives. (Woo hoo!)
"Another activity that can't be performed, would be using a mouse with more than one button."
Uhh... Damnit, why's this Microsoft 4 button mouse here if I can't use it with Macs... Wtf!!! What's that printer doing too!?!? And the scanner, dot matrix printer, mp3 player, cd-burner, and hard drive dangling off my USB chain!?!? Or that TV screen mirroring my DVD movies... What's going on?!? Macs are supposed to be useless!
And oh crap! Look out! There's the webpages I've made, the magazine I run, the relational database I made for the magazine, or those apps I've written, or even the giant spreadsheets I've made!!! Look out! Well shit... Why do I have a 802.11 connection?!? And then there's the upgraded HD, the 4 hours of DVD watching on battery, my instant messengers, and... Games?!?! Deus Ex, Myth 3, Quake 3, UT, Oni, Survivor, Rogue Spear, The Sims, Tony Hawk, Baldur's Gate II, Red Faction, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, etc etc etc...
And darnit, why do I have UNIX under the hood!?!? With Apache serving some personal pages, I must be stupid! Damn Macs! They're useless!
Really, list ONE task that the Mac can perform. One useful task. Remember, Macs are useless.

As usual, senators refused to comment.
You never hear about guys complaining about all the muscular male characters with ripped abs and legs like oak. Why's that? HMM?!!?

Damnit, there goes my calculus grade.
I live in Placerville!

Being a severely hearing impaired person, I do find the virtual person's "O"'s to be highly disturbing if not graphic. Yikes.
I swear this has to be the development of a militant Femi-Nazi Feminist group bent on sterilizing all the men on earth.

The implications of this are scary. I'm sure marketers are all over this right now.
That's you. 90% of people I know that have Linux also boot into windows to play games etc.
The study's data is skewed because most Linux systems dual-boot with Windows, whereas MacOS systems typically ONLY boot MacOS (X or otherwise). I personaly will dual-boot Debian and MacOS X 10.2 when my new PowerBook arrives. (Woo hoo!)
