Magellan Explorer is an Amiga DOpus-like file manager. There is an official DOpus for Windows, but I like this one better. It's not free, but there's a demo available.
Once you get used to it, you can't live without it.
As with everything else, Japan keeps the best watches for itself and ships the merely OK watches to the US. A Seiko in America is nothing special, but the "Grand Seiko" line in Japan is higher quality than Rolex/Omega/etc. I think the best bang for the buck in Japanese domestic market watches is the Seiko Alpinist -- $300 -- and includes auto calendar, GMT hand, titanium, and 5 year battery. They are "interesting" -- it is unlikely you will see anyone else with one.
Higuchi is a great place for Japanese watches, BTW. They ship to USA.
This guy has been on Coast to Coast AM a couple times to speak about gigantism in people. He has a pretty extensive website. From the intro:
Stretch your mind back to childhood. What giants do you remember? Jack and the Beanstalk? Hercules? Paul Bunyan? Goliath? What were you told and what did you read? With the exception of Goliath and an occasional ornery cyclops, legends emphasized their innate goodness, eye-popping feats accomplished with unparalleled strength, victories over the bad guys and all performed by "gentle giants". What if it were all a lie? What if the truth were something much MUCH more sinister?
Wah, no Bruce Sterling? But he has a powerbook and writes for Wired! Surely this is enough to be in the pantheon of geek writers! I am shocked and apalled.
Maybe I am getting too old, but I've been thinking an illuminated magnifier would be pretty useful to have for my bench.
BTW, check out the Xcelite PRO-SERIES ergo screwdrivers (model #XPE500 for the 5 piece). I love these things -- using quality German made handtools is really satisfying. I think I paid $25 at Fry's.
True, Steve Jobs has not blessed it and you probably won't see it used by some trendy featherbrain on "Sex and the City," but it can crunch a lot of numbers for hundreds less than a similarly configured Mac.
It is sort of amusing that this technology is being developed by Philips, makers of the Philips DVP-642, probably the most pirate friendly DVD player on the market today.
From the "blog"...
Just to let every one know i should have some nice tee shirts up online in a few day.
From the Seattle PI article...
To pass the time, he writes in a journal, posts to his blog, chats on the phone and touches up old stories from past "Star Wars" campouts, in hopes that, perhaps, a book deal will be extended one day.
He truly has the SW spirit of making a buck anywhere possible. George would be proud.
I guess you think AutoCAD and ArcGIS are "silly apps." I know Mac people like to use their computer to make a fashion statement, but some people use computers to do work.
GotApex? has a "headless Dell" on their site for $449.
Here are the specs:
2.8Ghz P4 w/800Mhz bus
256MB DDR2 SDRAM
40GB S-ATA
2 year on site warranty
Of course, if I don't get modded to hell, there will be a dozen replys from the Apple "amen corner" telling me that the Apple is a better deal, etc.
BTW, this P4 is not even a particularly hot deal. GotApex? had a Dell P4 with a 17" LCD last Sunday for $599 -- the same price as the "high end" Mac mini.
It's worth RTFA just to see the judge's funky signature. I guess I can make out the first name, but I don't see how you can get "KAPLAN" from a lowercase "a" followed by 13 "u"s.
In other words, one author can't plagarise himself, no matter how hard he may try.
Really? Nino Rota was deemed ineligible for the 1972 "Best Music" Oscar for his 'Godfather' score because it sounded too much like the score for 1957's 'Fortunella'... which was written by Nino Rota.
Rota won 2 years later for his 'Godfather: Part II' score. See more here.
Don't Use Sharpies on CD-R: There is a modest amount of anecdotal evidence that the use of solvent-based ink markers (Sharpies use an alcohol-based ink), particularly on CD-R/RWs without a protective coating and CD-R/RWs kept in a warm to hot environment can lead to long-term penetration of the ink to the data layer with resulting damage to the data.
Yamaha came out with something similar back in 2002 called DiscT@2 that let you put text and graphics on the unused portions of the data side. It never really took off.
I am no MS fanboy -- and I will be the first to admit that Windows 95, 98, ME, and XP are unstable and crappy -- but Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server are both solid operating systems.

WTF?
$500 for a plain, low end box is not cheap. A Dell 2.8 GHz P4 with a 19" LCD, keyboard, and mouse for $529 is cheap.

I miss suprnova too. isoHunt is pretty decent.

I think I would prefer to give up air and water first.
This thing reminds me of the Espresso PC that came out ~ 4 years ago.

DVD-R is the preferred recordable DVD flavor for movies these days. It's cheaper than +R and more compatible with DVD players.
FU CARLY
Anyhow, congrats to Kyle & HardOCP.
Gerald Holmes made a nice cartoon about the Steve Jobs & Bill Gates rivalry in the early history of the PC.

5 MB ought to be enough for anybody!
This is "innovation" at Carly's HP these days. Jeez, how far this once great company has fallen.

Love Windows 2000 and don't want to bother with XP? You can always run Windows Server 2003 as a workstation with this guide.
I am no MS fanboy -- and I will be the first to admit that Windows 95, 98, ME, and XP are unstable and crappy -- but Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server are both solid operating systems.
WTF, stylish? It looks like a metal project box from radio shack.
Check it out.
