Look, I think Microsoft's products emanate directly from Satan's butthole, just like the rest of you. I also secretly hump the boxes from which my purchased Apple products emerge. However, doesn't it seem like Apple probably had more than enough time to get this working on the beta versions, assuming this isn't some new, last-second bug?
That said, the Zune doesn't even work on Vista yet, as another commenter already pointed out.... Still, I'm inclined to blame Apple on this one.
"It should have been obvious to you that for a system, especially from a company with such an excellent track record in online applications, it would have been a little hard to send an event to the end user without receiving an event from Ritz Camera."
Don't be such a Google fanboy. All systems have bugs. New ones have even more bugs. Google is not immune.
I've been searching for some time for command line access to the Keychains -- many times I've wanted to ssh into my home system from work to fetch a password I'd stored in my keychain and so far I haven't been able to figure out how to access it. Nothing promising at versiontracker and I don't know any applescript to know if I can use that to my benefit. Any ideas?
when I upgraded to 2.4.19 my USB mouse stopped working.. I fiddled with my module loading order in/etc/modules.autoload and got it to work again. try loading them in this order:
input mousedev usbmouse hid uhci
and see if that doesn't help. (you might be using ohci instead of uhci) This is a total shot in the dark for you, of course, but it helped me so maybe it'll help you too.
(I wish I understood why module ordering mattered so much in this case -- it was always my understanding that modules would load other modules they depended on, so the ordering wasn't important. am I wrong?)
...add 111 - the only triplet that can ever be prime
and if you divide that "prime" by zero, you can get whatever you want: 8827, 2, tiny elves dancing in tiny elfven shoes with a slightly off-kilter rhythm, etc, etc. Math = magic.
It's hard to know to be extra-careful with a box marked "Fragile" if you don't know what the word means. Though I'd like to think that enroute package handlers would be nice to all boxes, "Fragile" or not. And that bunnies can talk to people while they sleep. And Unicorns are real!
This looks like a neat-o gadget and all, but my attention is drawn to this part of the write-up:
online shops where users can purchase concert tickets, music subscriptions, and merchandise; etc.
Come on! Is anyone ever going to use a device like this to purchase music or tickets, or better yet, Brittney Spears' tshirts on the web? Surfing on my wireless phone is horrible enough that I'll never do it, but somehow I'm going to want to purchase things with a Walkman tied to an ethernet network? Blah. Why must all gadgets include this sort of semi-useless Internet Service hoo-hah?
I think you should make it a condition that those you are interested in don't rough you up during sex, rather than not play computer games or use pr0n.
I do think it's kinda icky that guys can get angry-horny from playing Quake III and the like... It makes some of the in-game banter, frankly, pretty creepy.
Spare me. People like you make computer science the arrogance-infested major that it is today. In every class there's always that one fuck that thinks he's gods gift to programmers. It's okay to be a good programmer, but for god's sake, you don't endear yourself to anyone by jerking off about how smart you are. Not many employers will appreciate a new graduate that thinks the most beautiful programs spew forth from their own ass.
Metabyte (makers of the Wicked3D cards) who were working with H3D bought out the whole 3d shutter glasses technology from H3D when they went under. They're being sold as the Wicked3D eyeSCREAM.
Oh, Juuri, thank you for trying so hard! I can see now you are just trying to protect us from the evil Jon Katz.. all this time, I thought you were just flaming Jon Katz and those who defended him because it made you feel like a big manly linux user, but the truth is that you have merely been acting oh so selflessly. Thank god, thank god for Juuri.
Juuri, you're not telling me that you flamed Jon Katz, and then you flamed me, because his post had an improper (in your opinion) topic header, are you? So if it had been labeled under something like "Linux Newbie Fucks" instead of "News" your sense of topic injustice would be sated?
Hey, Juuri, you were claiming to know what news was. I mean, I guess that's what your repeated questions of "Do you understand what news is?" meant you were on a higher plane of news knowledge. Since someone out there obviously thought this was news, and you don't, it sounded like you wanted it to be News for Juuri: Stuff that Matters (as long as Juuri says so).
Look, I refrained from making personal comments about you because I don't know you. You can call me stupid, and I guess that makes you feel better, but you don't know me. We have a difference of opinion. Amazingly dense? Tell me how reading a post that you must have been well aware would annoy you (I've seen your other anti-Katz posts) and then posting about how much it annoys you makes you such a brilliant fuck??
I'm still confused as to why you're still reading posts if the whole thing is so pointless and doesn't belong here anyway. Fuck off, Juuri.
Who the hell made you captain of the topic police around here? If you don't like his articles, for god's sake, don't read them. How difficult can this be to understand? If you don't read the article, how can it be a waste of time? Did Jon physically force you to click on the read more link? And please, juuri, explain to me how Slashdot just became News for juuri. Give me a fucking break.
What Jon is doing (and doing quite effectively) is pointing out that no matter how much everyone pleads and hopes for linux to become the "OS for everyone" that people are going to have to start helping new linux users out instead of flaming them to death and making them feel stupid because they couldn't figure out your oh-so-manly OS.

Hmm, are you talking about Napster or NetPD?
Sometimes it's hard to see the forest for all of the programmers blowing their "I'm a Guru" wad all over each other.
