well i had two dates last night and im juggling 4 women right now. and im serious. i have to figure something out for this weekend before they all find out and im left with nothing....
and actually the one im 'dating' is pretty cool. ive never been out with a nerd girl and keep my geekyness under control in the presence of the fairer sex - just last night one of my dates was teling me about her cousin whois building a simulator for the gov.. but h cant help but be a nerd in normal conversation. obviously sharp as a tack but no social skills whatsoever (and was raised by a dad that way). we had a good laugh and then i got some action.
the moral of the story: jon got some, who needs morals?
I think bluetooth would be ideal for a product like this! After becoming enamored with my sony ericsson bluetooth itunes/dvd/finder hack for OS X i have seen the light on the functionality and ease of use that is bluetooth.
In any case, im sure the next generation will support such standards, but I want one now. Maybe ill beg fossil to impliment bluetooth in their new palm watch:

The cursor is a Spinning _Beach Ball_ of Death. I mean c'mon, you would have to be tripping your face off to see a pizza in the glob of color that is Apple's busy cursor.
The system may have been designed with hallucinagens, but your not supposed to actually operate it as such. I guess this is more problems arising from Stev Jobs and the 'lickable' interface, thank god apple toned it down in the latest release.

Great app for recording anything being played on your computer, captures sound output from anything.
Also useful for getting fair use out of DRM cd's by hooking up your stereo and using hijack to get the audio-in.

But how is it that we have had troops (US gov. employees) all over the world doing the most dangerous things for decades but 7 astronauts are unreasonable losses? They knew what they were getting into, I assure you, just like any soldier. Thousands have given their lives for science and would gladly do so again.

Just try Eternal Darkness. As your sanity gage goes down the voices...god no not the voices!

When or if or how Apple is going to release some kind of documentation for us to play with the guts. its obviously updateable and from a xserve cluster article I saw that they have already been re-programmed as headless lcuster administration tools. That and "dual processors" and "cd burning capabilities" why shouldnt we the owners be let in at some point. On an official Apple message board it was recently relayed to the community that ipod software 2.0 will NOT be availible for the first gen ipods...well I dont see anything that pushes the capabilities...why not let us have a look?

Seeing a message pop up along the lines of:
