iTunes 4.7 still can't use an iPod as a source for party shuffle (this is a factor for me because my music is on a network share at home, and I hook my iPod to my PowerBook at work for music).
I filled out a bug report shortly after the Party Shuffle feature was released (iTunes 4.6?) and it was almost immediately closed as a duplicate.
I thought the second RE movie was good. Different than the first -- different feel, different director, but it was worth seeing in the theater, and I'm going to buy it on DVD when it comes out.
MacOS Classic was, technically by the standards of modern operating systems, a toy. But damn if it didn't win in a lot of respects *despite this*.
I came from the Amiga. Watching a Mac attempt to multitask was _so painful_. But it was certainly pretty.
Now, I've got a windows machine for doom and half life, and a linux fileserver, neither of which I love -- and two macs, which I spend most of my computing time on. I even find ways to use my PowerBook at work (I write code that crunches weather data. It runs on linux, but my visualization and debugging stuff runs on the mac.)
I noticed that they attached a quiz to this story, apparently to test readers' ability to answer questions about, no, not politics -- late night talk shows.
Huh???
About three years ago, the fan failed on my (almost entirely silent) Linux-based NAT box. I didn't find this out until the cascading failures took down the whole box.
I replaced it with a Linksys router. I've been happy ever since. Set it up and forget about it.
I'm a coder. I've also done enough sysadmin that it pisses me off when I have to do it at work, and more so when I have to do it at home. Plug-it-and-forget-it is awfully nice.
Spending $50 on a router, is also more economical than working on one for several hours. My time is not free.

You know, this guy's a dipshit. Not everyone uses a Mac. That's fine. Not everyone drives a BMW, either. You don't see BMW crying because they don't have 90% market share. Apple is sitting on a pile of cash, and making Windows look bad. They're doing just fine.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England.
You want a Topeak Road Morph. It's got a hose, and a foot peg, as well as an integrated pressure gauge. I have no problems going up to 110PSI, and it folds to the size of a typical compact frame pump. It's the best $40 I have invested in my bike gear collection.
I was nearly wiped out on the bike path last year by one of those damned, infernal machines. The guy was riding right in the middle of the path because the thing was so high he would have hit trees. What a waste. A segway lasts, what, an hour on a charge, and maxes out at 12MPH. I can ride my bike all day at 12MPH, and I can go significantly faster for distances of under 40 miles.
You can buy a top-of-the-line road bike for what a segway costs, and you'll stay in shape.
It's a necropsy unless the procedure is being done by another iPod mini. Autopsy refers to dissection of a human by a human, or by extension, some instance of class 'foo' by another instance of class 'foo'.
Actually, in this case, it would be a vivisection, as the iPod started out functional, and died due to the procedure.
You need the contrast. It's a very common experience that a person doesn't really learn grammar until s/he's studied a second language, but you need the basis in grammar in the first language before you have something to compare against.
I'm going to create a new email account, and register it on the "do not spam" registry. It will have a random account name on my own domain. I will not use this account for anything else.
As a control, I will create another random account under the same domain, and not use it anywhere, even on the "do not spam" registry.
I will measure how long it takes before the first address receives spam, how long before the second receives spam, and the amount of spam each receives.
Hypothesis: The first account will start receiving spam almost immediately. Due to the nature of the spam, the second should never receive spam unless someone is sending email to random 8-character accounts at my domain (brute force attack).

They did well on the whole Engima thing, too.

I'm miffed.
"...has buying purchased a game developer..."
Huh? WHAT? THAT'S NOT EVEN ENGLISH. NOT REMOTELY.
What do slashdot editors do? It's clear that "editing" isn't part of the job description.
This sets up a local dictionary server.

So would you fill out a credit card application that someone on the street shoved in your face?
Like on hundreds of college campuses around the nation?
Now, I agree -- trusting credit card companies is dumb.
But it happens a lot.
This seems to go rather strongly against the principle of "Don't be evil.".

I think I speak for all right-thinking people when I say:
"...huh?"
Yeah, that's funny, isn't it?

I think they updated the story. I'm pretty sure the issues quiz wasn't there the first time I read it.

The only tech mags I currently subscribe to are the C/C++ User's Journal and Dr. Dobb's Journal.
I miss Byte pretty badly.
News comes from The Economist. One of the best news sources in the world. I highly recommend it to everyone.
My favorite magazine, however, is Bicycling. Allez, Lance! Allez, Tyler! Allez, Levi!
In a fit of drunken meterosexuality, I've recently subscribed to Esquire and Men's Health. I'll see how long I keep those subscriptions going.
I also get Minnesota Monthly, which was part of my Minnesota Public Radio subscription.

In summary: Fuck segway. Fuck it in the ear.
You know, if you install something called WeatherBug, you're kinda asking for spyware to be installed. It's practically in the name.

Ford Escorts share a platform with the Mazda 323. They have a different skin, but they're the same car.
