  3. Re:No thanks to you, Slashdot. on Penguin Car Earns Indy500 Spot · · Score: 1

    FWIW the only Apple logo I've seen recently on a racing car was at the United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis last year.

    A company called Click Away sponsored US driver Tom Sutherland's car in one of the junior league races that ran before the Formula 1 sessions.

    Judging by the number of buses plastered with iPod ads around here these days, I'm surprised Apple doesn't bite the bullet and sponsor a F1 team and get instant worldwide exposure seeing as their argument for ecologically friendly advertising has obviously gone out of the window. Although I'm sure their reasoning is that buses are there anyway, so why not cover them with iPod ads, yet racing cars are burning fuel for mere pleasure so why sponsor that.

    Come to think of it, Ballmer reminds me of Evil Plankton more and more these days.

    It's not Apple's problem, and MSFT will be in no hurry to release a patch to allow you to play a rivals filetype, so I'd suggest you export it as a wmv or dump the POS and get a Mac.

    I meant the logo on every menu screen you see when choosing record options, selecting a TV show Etc Etc.

    If it was merely a logo on the case I'd burn it off with a blow torch.

    Give me QuickBooks Pro for Mac with the same functionality as the Windows version and I'll delete Windows off our Macs and be 100% MS free (although I still have to figure out a way to get the "Microsoft Enhanced" logo off my Comcast DVR cable box - drives me nuts having to look at their branding every time I want to watch a show I recorded).

  14. Re:Optical illusion? on A Symmetrical Cosmic Red Square · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the links. The higher res images make it easier to look at the image as if the radials are pointing away from us instead of towards us, making it look like a pyramid from a birds eye view.

    Although it's a pretty long stretch to assume that a distant civilization is responsible somehow for all the pyramids on Earth and in space, it would make sense if you were into creating them to make some kind of statement to have them visible in space to beings on the planets that have them.

    I've actually used the old "it's not what it looks like...I was actually just reseating the heatsink" excuse a couple of times when my wife has walked in on me, and although I was sat over three feet away from a sealed and functioning computer on both occasions didn't seem to register with her.

    I've since picked up an old PC from the local thrift store and have it dissasembled under my desk at all times, just in case she sees through my clever excuse in future.
