  1. Re:This was not good to start with on Swedish Voters Keelhaul Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    Interesting?

    Wow. Guess I need to brush-up on my bible reading, I skipped the "god bless america" part.

    Maybe the mod was looking for [funny] instead :/

  2. Would I date Microsoft? on Would You Date Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding?
    I'd hit it!

  5. Get rid of the CAPSLOCK key? on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You'll pry my rail/shaft combo CAPSLOCK key from my cold, dead hands...

  6. Re:Beginning of the Post-Windows Era on Apple vs Microsoft Both Copycats · · Score: 1

    You are right. Might I add that even CEO were college kids at one point. Now THAT is long term planning ;)

  7. No No No No No, NO! on The Doom of Wired Peripherals · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's quite embarrassing, you got it all wrong.

    Please consume.

  8. Re:Who? on Apple Announces More Options Troubles · · Score: 0

    Well, the point is, it is soaring because the numbers are wrong... Whose fault it is is another matter.

  9. Yup, lesson learned on UK ISP PlusNet Accidentally Deletes 700GB of Email · · Score: 1

    You are right, although I omitted a part, in fear of being modded down by the Mac zealots roaming here but..
    I used to do my backups through scp from the server to my powerbook and the powerbook fried two weeks prior to the pc...
    Are you happy now, there goes my karma!
    $500 is a lot cheaper than telling my wife that her iPhoto album is gone forever.
    But I'm still young, and as they say Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.

  10. I'd love to do the same on UK ISP PlusNet Accidentally Deletes 700GB of Email · · Score: 1

    It's just that the Girlfriend (62 elite) doesn't allow more than 1 computer sitting in her painstakingly decorated living-room/museum, and still I think she allows it because it's a Mac ;)

    I used to live in a geek-den with some friends, server room, dedicated SAN array, yadda yadda... great geek environment, but not very female-friendly, alas!

  11. Re:I guess if I look at my email on UK ISP PlusNet Accidentally Deletes 700GB of Email · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I ran my own local imap store + fetchmail from my ISP + a very nice backup scheme (scp=>powerbook)

    Then one day, I lost several hard drives in one go (storm). Last week backups were corrupted, had to roll back to 2 weeks backups. I lost 400 mails, my gf lost about 10 mails.

    It's been six months, now I forward everything to several gmail/yahoo accounts, do a local backup of thunderbird's mboxes, and scp the backups to two different machines.

    To this day, I still can hear the screams from my One And Deareast Female User when I cry myself to sleep.

    Bottom line:
      - If you are single, yeah, host your server, it's fun, you learn a lot of stuff.
      - If you are not, paranoïa should be part of your base skillset.

    Stop making fun of him, this guy is right.

  17. Hello Billy on Ask Futurama Star Billy West About...? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Can I axe you a couple of questions ?

    Did you get a chance to listen to any international version of Futurama, and what did you think of the performance of the voice actors?

    Which brings me to the following question: Did you ever do voiceovers for a foreign production, say, a turkish sitcom , and if so, what kind were the challenges you were faced with?

    Cheers,
    Palad1,
    Foreigner

  25. Before forking out 1k on Apple Unveils New Macbook · · Score: 1

    I'll wait before seeing one irl, for five^H^H^H^H three factors:

    1/ There is a new 'glossy' screen
    2/ The whine that plagued the macbook pro. Is it gone ?
    5/ Most important: These babies have a brand new keyboard design, which may be the best thing since sliced bread, or your very own personal nemesis...

    Well, of course there is still the GMA950 issue, but still, I think I'll replace my aging powerbook...
