    First funny comment to make me actually laugh using my mouth today, the others i thought funny.

    With that then, Apple *could* release a white iPod! Fuck me hard with your grandma's walking stick I'm saving up my money right now!

  3. The Pills thing.. on Ray Kurzweil On IT And The Future of Technology · · Score: 1


    Well, go with what works for yourself i say, pills didn't work for me and i was taking about 5 different types a day. One of them I would feel the effects of when i will be 70. Now i only take a few if I remember to take them and that would only be a odourless garlic tablet. What i found instead was a healthy lifestyle without the pills is a better option, eat real food and excercise.
    Also, those natural pills are even worse (i had 2 types as well), than the chemical based ones, at least they are tested first.

    If you think that was good you should check out Tokyo, its linked rail and underground systems handles far more traffic and is more efficient than anything in the UK. Some of it is open 24 hours a day as well due to the amount of communters it carries.

    ...is to post a guard next to the painting, armed with a BFG daring people to touch it. Once they do, they're cannon fodder, let them work in shifts and hey presto, cheap security.

  11. Re:Begining to Wonder About Apple's QA on Apple Replaces Some 15" PowerBook Displays · · Score: 1

    Virtually all the iBooks is wrong, the problem was with the G3 iBooks, the G4's are unaffected as they were revised which rectified that issue that will never affect the G4 iBook. The issues with the PB's with the newer models are okay now. I had both a G3 iBook and a 1.25Ghz PB when everybody harped on about the issues with them. No problems with either machine.

  12. Comparisions to Gmail on .Mac Storage Now 250MB · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Which I am sure will be made, but one has to stop and think for a moment before thinking without the geek cap on and saying "you can get a gig from google or pay for a solution at a lower price". That line reminds me of the comparisions between desktop processor speeds and the megapixels in cameras, just its now storage space numbers people are pissing further and faster with.
    Gmail for example, is a GB for email only while .mac isn't, its for mail, website creation, backup space and so forth wrapped into a half decent web gui and a slick interface when working offline with the various programs such as iDisk or iPhoto. I'd say it was worth it simply for the iPhoto integration, 3 clicks and your pictures are online.
    I paid for .mac again last year knowing there were alternatives out there that offered a cheaper price, again my point is that with everything Apple, quality is involved. Its all the integration that makes me cough up the dough.
    But I will admit, i'm being a bit ignorant towards myself, I know about hosting and such and such but I don't have the time to chase every offer on offer. I'm happy to give Apple my money knowing what they offer.
    Still screaming about the 1 GB space you get from google? I got that gmail account as well so don't fret, but that 1 GB email account from what i have heard is compressed anyway. Assuming this is true, its works because you are dealing with text and the odd jpeg, its easier to compress as opposed to Apple going down that route and compressing all of your work and so forth just for the sake of a shitload of megabytes which not everybody would use.
    To make matters even better, Apple lets you select how you would use the space, i have it set up for 235MB's for storage and 15mb for email.

    Don't forget they tried to get Jon on any law they could. Norway didn't really have such legislation and he wasn't doing it to pirate anything.

    You assume that this would be done in the US. I hate it when somebody makes a point and then somebody brings up some act like that as though it affects everyone on the planet when it doesn't, it affects you Americans ONLY... and maybe Australia, but they are not really a country are they! :)

  16. Re:How about just not watching TV? on Is The Public Stuck With The Broadcast Flag? · · Score: 1

    Who says we watch TV? I don't, gave it up about a year ago. Just download the odd movie off the net if I feel a need to watch something and then delete it or go to the cinema. I'd rather work on something, leave this issue for the masses, they of course don't care so why should I or we?
