  1. Doesn't seem to be stopping this App on Mentioning Android Is a No-No In iPhone App Store · · Score: 1

    It's called BrokeAndroid. It lets you smash up an android phone on your iPhone. I guess it's ok if you're ripping on Android http://itunes.com/Apps/BrokeAndroid

  2. Re:No Chance. on FOSS CAD and 3D Modeling Software? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wasn't it ideology that got us to the moon the first time?

  3. Times New Roman in Xcode on Programming With Proportional Fonts? · · Score: 1

    Times New Roman looks really good to my eye.
    This is my Xcode setup:
    http://vectorvector.tumblr.com/post/339810337/proportional-font-programming
    (I link to the downloadable .xccolortheme file)

    Worst to my eye: Monaco and Arial.

  4. Well duh. on Evidence That Good Moods Prevent Colds · · Score: 1

    Obviously... if you've got your head in your hands, you probably arn't thinking about washing them. And don't get me started on wiping away tears, HELLO eye infections!

  5. s.l.o.w. on Lying Makes The Brain Work Harder · · Score: 1

    man, I heard about this on quirks and quarks on the weekend. what is this, slowdot?

  6. Re:For the price on Pixar Switches to Mac OS X and G5s · · Score: 1

    You know steve-o hooked them up with a nice deal.
    Price to you and price to them may look a few digits smaller.

  7. Why does it even need mentioning...? on 'Brain Pacemakers' Being Tested · · Score: 1

    A lot of good can come out of this - potentially. But I can see a the potential for misuse too.

    Every single technological application or scientifiic advancement has a possible misuse. Period.

    Pens! They could be used to stab people! Or worse! They could be used to write dirty words or nasty letters!

    Stop jerking your knee and think of the people this can help.

  8. Re:As S Jobs says... on The Nine Lives of Napster · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.downhillbattle.org/itunes/ "iTunes music store. Facelift for a corrupt industry"

  9. Re:Applescript!! on Open Source Macro Programs? · · Score: 1

    AppleScript can currently be done over IP. It's not exactly seamless, but it can be done. That's half of 'cross platform and over a network'.

  10. Re:Welcome to Linux! Now, GO AWAY! on Open Source Macro Programs? · · Score: 1

    > And I'd guess there are macro recorders for OS X, right? Apple has been pushing AppleScript in a big way, altough the recording aspect of it has been busted (in my opinion) since the dawn of OS X.

  11. google adwords strike back on BBC Buys Google News Keywords In Kelly Case · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oddly, the first paid link that came up when I searched for Hutton at google.ca was version of this very story, about the beeb buying up adwords.

    Wacky wacky world.

  12. Re:sure, whatever. on Internationalized Domain Names Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    This kind of united states centric (I was going to say amero-centric, but then I remembered the rest of the continent) thought is getting pretty old. Just because you don't have to write accented characters, doesn't mean it's not news (for nerds no less).

  13. Re:Luckly no Mom and Pop stores will be destroyed on Wal-Mart to Offer Wal-Mart Notebooks · · Score: 1

    Expecting South Park to come out swinging at wall mart is probably putting too much faith in their integrity and political drive. Ever since the totally reactionary post sept. 11th Osama Bin Laden episode, I've held no torch for Trey Parker and Matt Stone as a force for good in america.

  14. Re:Next stop, Quartz... then Aqua on NetBSD's COMPAT_DARWIN Adds XDarwin Support · · Score: 3, Informative

    DarwinPorts will allow you to install ports from source, and appearently yum offers the ability to install binaries. The point being that Darwin is supposed to be a fully functional unix, not just the little bastard child that's kept in the cellar. Mostly useful I think when (as you pointed out) you want to keep multiple systems with identical configurations, or things that relate to administering or serving to os x machines, when you don't need the gui.

  15. Re:Canada isn't communist on Slashback: Diebold, Peroxide, Comdex · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Royal Bank of Canada, is not actually the same thing as the Bank of Canada. The name is somewhat deceptive, but it's just a bank, like Bank of America is just a bank. Non governmental is the key here...
