  1. Re:Not such a bad idea on The Joypad That Became A Rotary Controller · · Score: 1

    I bought my Dell D600 just because it has the nubby and touchpad. I would have bought an IBM but I got the Dell with a 3 year warranty for only $850 using my employee discount.

    I'm not a kid but I just baby sat a bunch of Indian kids here at work yesterday. They're here from our offshore helpdesk to learn our IT and user culture so I figured I'd learn some geography from them in return.

    Bullshit. It was never offered on Software Update. No wonder you posted Anonymous Liar.

    Yes, I understand that. But since they were calling it free why didn't they offer it free for download?

    Well, as an OS X user since 10.0.3 I'd have to say you're comparing apples to oranges. 10 to 10.1 was primarily bug fixes but was only $19.95 if you couldn't find it for free. And 10.1 to 10.2 wasn't all that big of deal, either. 10.2 to 10.3 was the only jump where I thought I got some value out of the money I paid for the release.

    Plus, at least MS is still putting out patches for Win 2000. You can't get security patches from Apple for 10.1 which is much younger than Win 2000.

  7. Re:"Will the price be higher?" on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 1

    Damn, I didn't realize ACs were so dense. I'll guarantee there will be no black iPod without the U2 content unless you buy a used one from someone who has removed the U2 stuff. It's a U2 promo, U2 = black iPod, Black iPod = U2. I know what the original person was saying, if he wants the black iPod he's going to have to pay extra for the U2 content.

  8. Re:"Will the price be higher?" on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 1

    We're only talking about one item so when he asks "Will the price be higher?" I take that as meaning "Will the price of the one and only black iPod that includes U2 content be higher than the current iPod?". I have a good feeling it will be more expensive.

  9. Re:Do exclusive marketing things work? on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Unless you know the price of the U2 Edition perhaps you should do #3? What part of "Will the price be higher?" do you not understand?

    #1, That shit sounds like shit. #2, It's horribly offensive. Low frequency goes right through walls. At least when I play my car stereo loud it can barely be heard outside the car.

    I work at a TV station and every day at 5:15 some stupid ass thump thumper drives by and the whole newsroom shakes. And the street is 2 walls and 40 yards from the newsroom. During construction of our new news set (which is many walls away from the street and well soundproofed) all news was done from the newsroom and you could hear it on the newscasts.

    I concur. OpenBSD runs on several more platforms than mentioned and it's done SMP for at least a release. And the comments about Theo are pretty exagerated and inflammatory.

    Doesn't sound like the Burning Man I've been to. Maybe AC is describing 1999, the one recent year that I didn't go?

    It's cost is especially high considering the poor quality of the materials and the overkill design. Something that pricey should be built out of better tubing, have better parts, and without a doubt have better wheels.

    That's pretty funny because I had no idea that he was a Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, or whatever. I just picked Lutheran as an example. As a non-Christian, it's all Christian to me.

    So why does it matter what type of Christian Kerry is? If they didn't say what type of Christian Bush is then the question as stated is fine. If they had said "President Bush's Lutheran faith" then they should have said "John Kerry is a Catholic".

    Like the parent says, they use OpenFirmware (which is a fully programmable Forth environment) now instead of a closed ROM. Nobody is arguing that Apple is no longer using ROM, they're just saying that they're no longer using the closed Mac ROM.
