    you're screwed. you should always check here before buying a mac. they keep pretty good details on upgrade history for all mac hardware. Don't turn around and get an ibook today either.

    from the readme:

    TO ENABLE PHOTOSHOP SHORTCUT KEYS (very, very useful for Photoshop users): Run GIMPshop at least once, then quit out of GIMPshop. THEN, COPY or MOVE the included menurc file to your DESKTOP. FINALLY, drag and drop the menurc file copy from your Desktop onto the included application named 'Drop menurc on me.' The next time GIMPshop is launched, Photoshop shortcuts will be enabled.

  9. Re:Well, in all fairness on Microsoft's Tips for Buying an MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    my 30gb 3g ipod does skip while running if it's attached to my waist, so I usually hold it in one of my hands and that solves the problem. I have not had it skip under any other circumstances. my girlfriend has a mini and I want to try that sometime since a lot of runners have success with them.

    yeah, well considering the 60gb photo used to be 599 and now it's 449, so is it really a big deal that they took away the dock (which I don't think most people even know what to do with)?

  12. Re:Yeah, but... on Copyright Infringement and Shoplifting Contrasted · · Score: 1, Redundant

    This means that you're also likely redistributing the material, which you probably aren't doing if your crime is shoplifting

    what are you talking about? people have been stealing things for years for the sole purpose of redistributing (pawning) them to make money from it, or just feeding themselves.
    a big difference is that the **AA has already been paid for stolen dvd's because the store bought them before they were ripped off- so they could care less about shoplifting.
    on the other hand, p2p users really don't get or care that much about copyright infringement because they see it as *sharing* and don't consider it to be a crime- they are not trying to profit from the theft like the person breaking into homes, cars or storefronts.

    these are two very different issues that really need to be looked at together for anyone to begin making any sense of what the proper punishments should be.

  13. I live in chicago on Sushi Prepared on a Printer · · Score: 5, Informative

    and although the place sounds interesting, it's way too outside the budget I need for a feeding.

    here's an review I found that sums it up:
    [ ]For the past decade restaurants have gone to great lengths--showy food, exposed kitchens, gimmicky menus--to add drama to their dining rooms. But when the theatrics overshadow the food, a restaurant and its diners are in trouble. At Market District newcomer MOTO, the show starts with waitstaff dressed in black lab coats, continues with aromatherapeutic flatware threaded with sprigs of fresh herbs (listed as a course on the menu!), and hits a peak when servers approach the table with six-inch syringes to inject a single rice ball with sweet-and-sour sauce. And if you think Charlie Trotter's servings are small, wait till you see what chef Homaro Cantu calls a salad: a teaspoon of tiny spinach gelatin cubes and another of frisee. A bite-size portion of scallops came sitting atop a plastic box (constructed by Cantu himself), where a small but tasty filet of black bass was steaming in "Pacific Oceanic products" (water FedExed in from the Pacific). If the minuscule portions of white-truffle ice-cream spaghetti and smoked-watermelon soup tasted good I'd be more forgiving, but they didn't. It goes on like this through the 13th course--you'll wish you'd opted for the five- or seven-course meal or, evenbetter, that you'd gone next door to Folia instead. Moto is at 945 W. Fulton, 312-491-0058.

    My girlfriends name is heather boyle and told me to google her when we met, so I did- here's the first link- NSFW

    I'm not really sure what my point was, but I thought this was somewhat related.

    people make mistakes with url's all the time- hell, Cheney even did it during the debate with factcheck.org
    and then there's always the whitehouse site that's been screwing up kids, parents and teachers for 7 years

    of course none of this changes the fact that the isp should keep their fucking hands out of what their client host as long as it's not spam or child porn.

    Fuck The Creationists

    Ah yeah, here we go again!
    Damn! This is some funky shit that I be laying down on your ass.
    This one goes out to all my homey's working in the field of
    evolutionary science.
    Check it!

    Verse 1
    Fuck the damn creationists, those bunch of dumb-ass bitches,
    every time I think of them my trigger finger itches.
    They want to have their bullshit, taught in public class,
    Stephen J. Gould should put his foot right up their ass.
    Noah and his ark, Adam and his Eve,
    straight up fairy stories even children don't believe.
    I'm not saying there's no god, that's not for me to say,
    all I'm saying is the Earth was not made in a day.

    Fuck, fuck, fuck,
    fuck the Creationists.

    Ah damn, this is a funky jam!
    I'm about ready to kick this bitch back in.
    Check it.

    Verse 2
    Fuck the damn creationists I say it with authority,
    because kicking their punk asses be me paramount priority.
    Them wack-ass bitches say, "evolution's just a theory",
    they best step off, them brainless fools, I'll give them cause to fear me.
    The cosmos is expanding every second, every day,
    but their minds are shrinking as they close their eyes and pray.
    They call their bullshit science like the word could give them cred,
    if them bitches be scientists then cap me in the head.

    Chorus

    Trash Talk
    Bass!
    Bring that shit in!
    Ah yeah, that's right, fuck them all motherfuckers.
    Fucking punk ass creationists trying to set scientific thought back 400 years.
    Fuck that!
