  1. Customizability... on Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... you keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  2. Anyone know why the name was chosen? on Wayland, a New X Server For Linux · · Score: 1

    Just curious. Wayland is also the name of my hometown.

  3. Going Off The Grid 101 on Cell Phones, Missing Persons, and Privacy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I thought lesson 1 was "Dump the cell phone."

  4. Re:"robust object model??" on PHP In Action: Objects, Design, Agility · · Score: 1

    That's the solution that I've found to work... so far. It feels in the border between kludge and hack, but it seems pretty stable. The main thing to remember, I believe, is that the class scripts will get rerun on each execution, the definitions don't persist in the session like I originally expected. To be noted, I'm still quite 'young' in PHP, and was trying to recreate some functionality I was comfortable with from Objective-C.

  5. Concessions on New England Patriots Obtain Online Ticket Reseller Names · · Score: 1

    If I understand it correctly, most sports teams make a considerable portion of their money in concessions. I imagine most people going to sporting events have a budget, whether consciously or subconsciously, of how much they are willing to spend on the entire experience of going to a game. So if a fan is spending hundreds more on a ticket than face value, they would be less willing to purchase an extra beer or hot dog or sweatshirt and hat at stadium. So rather than increasing revenue by increasing face value, the club may be looking to protect concession revenues (and their contracted vendors) by stopping the fans from paying that lost money to the scalpers.

  7. Re:This is exactly why I'll never buy a Mac on OS X Leopard Ships On October 26th · · Score: 3, Informative

    Except for the fact that you can run pretty much every OS out there on an Intel Mac.

  8. Re:Top Ten? on Superbowling · · Score: 1

    Um, this may be redundant as it is listed above. The Noxzema add features "Broadway" Joe Namath of New York Jets and Superbowl III fame and Farrah Fawcett of poster and Charlie's Angels fame. Not a great ad in of itself, but for star power in its time it ranked very high. Probably the two biggest sexual icons in the early 70's. I think the last Bud Bowl, the one where the truck turns into the fullback should definitely be in there.

  9. iChat prior art on MS Patents IM Feature Used Since At Least 1996 · · Score: 1

    ...when using Rendezvous messaging with another iChat AV client, and if i've turned on the proper option, not only does the '...' pop up, but i can also see what is being typed by the person with whom i am chatting as they type it... i think this behavior is specific to the AV beta.

  10. Re:More Than Meets The Eye? on Gas Goes Solid · · Score: 1

    Agh, if only I had noticed that someone had beat me to the punch...

  11. More Than Meets The Eye? on Gas Goes Solid · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is the next phase of development the transformation of gas into a cube-like dynamic solid called "Energon"?...
