I heard third hand from someone on the interwebs (so it must be true) that everyone that was a direct Apple employee got an iPod shuffle for free. I really wouldn't be surprised about that.
ahh, so it wasn't just me. I ended up using Toast. Started up fine, but at 640x480 resolution, much like the above commenter. Didn't poke around too much, but until Broadcom opens up the drivers for Airport Extreme this really won't be all that useful for me.
Just booted up my 12" Powerbook with the Live CD. It started up at 640x480, and I can't seem to change the resolution through the Gnome tools, so that's a bit of a problem. Also the Airport Extreme card is, I assume, non-functional. Anyway, it will be a handy tool in case an OS X install goes horribly awry or something.
No, I don't believe it's illegal to consume the seeds. It's inadvisable to eat commercially distributed seeds, as I believe they coat them with something that would make it unpleasant.
I'm sure it's illegal to extract the LSA or whatever the active ingredient is from the seed, but eating them.. it just wouldn't make sense to make that illegal.
I'm sure www.erowid.org has better information. Don't think I can get there at work, though.
I'm not a biologist, but isn't that a bunch of crap? If that were the only thing preventing us from living forever, then why don't iron supplements extend life?
I'm in the US, but I'm with you there. I use LJ to keep up with real life friends, and to keep up with a limited number of people I've met online. I don't understand why people seem to be so anti-LJ... if you don't want to read posts about whiny immature crap, just remove that person from your friends list. Sheesh. Yeah if you click on any random LJ, you'll find a high proportion of stupidness, but by the same token, if you open up any random web page you will likely find stupidness also. Or porn.
I've often had daydreams of becoming a land pirate or something when the apocalypse comes. And me and my friends often talk about what useful skills we would have to benefit society... My girlfriend is really good at knitting and spinning yarn and various other textile things. I'm good with computers. Who will be more useful when the rock drops? Hard to say, really.
Yeah so football and baseball would make bad examples of this type of thing, but I could definitely see a Hoops style basketball game like this, or hockey or maybe even soccer MMORPG.
So clearly we should institute mandatory army training for all able bodied men in this country then? I'm certainly not okay with everyone having assault rifles without that training.
You bring up something that's a good point. I'm totally anti-gun, and hate the things, but I find I could get behind other people having guns if I knew they could use them. Perhaps mandatory training, or at least safety classes or something for gun owners? I don't see many NRA types willing to make that sort of compromise.
Ugh. I just got an email today that my call center is having a "Spirit Week" complete with, you guessed it, Hawaiian Shirt Day. I wanted to vomit. I really didn't think that movie could possibly be anywhere near reality.. now I'm in hell. "Stupid Hat Day" was runner up for worst idea ever.
Actually, I think "The N" has some pretty high quality kids shows. But not available in all markets or with all cable packages, I'm sure. Probably the only reason I get to watch it is because I work for Comcast and get *all* channels.
I guarantee it lowers your IQ while stoned. I've known, and still know, lots of people who've used it and once past just a little they lose smarts till they sober up, and most of the time swear the opposite
Meh, I call BS. Anecdotal evidence is crap. I know a girl that is probably the smartest person I know, yet she also smokes more pot than anyone else I know. Graduated from a prestigious university with a high grade point, is now highly successful and still smokes just as much pot.

I work for Comcast, and yet I always find out about these kind of things on /. first. It's sad, the way they dont tell us anything.
actually you don't *have* to buy land. The game has no monthly charges if you don't own land. And you can still create stuff without land, even.
not to mention that you can't use all of the hardware in the Mac Mini under Linux. Like the Airport extreme.

I'll see your Bab 5 and Futurama and raise you a Firefly.

No, no.. that's supposed to be 2012. Around 11:11 am GMT on Dec 21st, if I remember correctly.

I was kinda hoping this would have come from the "Big-ba-da-boom" department.

Perihelion is wednesday and snow is predicted all week here in Michigan. I need to move to a better climate.

Wow. does that thing come with a briefcase for carrying it around? I won't use a cellphone unless there's a chance I might accidentally swallow it.
well I work at Comcast, and most of our Pay Per View stuff seems to have been handled by this satellite. No idea if service has been restored yet...

I figured we need a big meteor impact before the end of the year for the Full House of natural disasters. Maybe I Tsunami would do as well...

and what safeguards are in place to stop you or someone like you from saying "Oh yeah, that's mine" and the flurry of frivolous lawsuits?
the Xjournal LJ client has been able to do this since shortly after iTunes added the little arrow links to the iTMS
