That said, OS X kernel panics are the most tasteful of all operating systems I've seen crash - the screen fades to grey and a nice box (rounded corners and everything) appears in the middle telling you, in four languages, how to reboot the machine.
Yeah, that really lowers my blood pressure. Instead of an annoying blue with circa 1995 text on the screen. It's soo much better. Still can't figure out why my (GeForce 8600M) MacBook Pro will go on kernel panic rampages - every couple of weeks, Bridge will KP the laptop. Cleaning out the caches seems to work, perhaps it's just the dead goat and the candles in the pentagram.
But I really appreciate tasteful screwups.
I had the same issue for a number of months before my MBP's logic/motherboard was replaced. After that, it seems to not happen nearly as often.
Then again, I don't use Bridge very often, nor do I clear out my caches.
The video card just randomly died one day. No video on the attached screen or an external LCD with few options for backing up data.
Luckily, I had AppleCare at the time and Apple just kept the HD intact. This only happened two months ago, and I had only purchased AppleCare a few weeks beforehand.
When I called about the issue, they claimed that they hadn't heard of the problem before. I wonder what happened in two months for them to change their tune?
The Roadster was based on a Lotus design for an ICE-powered sportscar. The air inlets are familiar to those in the market for such a vehicle, and they give the chassis a more sporty appearance.
Evolution is, in fact, a theory. In science, facts do not exist because science can only disprove beliefs, not prove them. While scientists may point out heaps of evidence supporting this particular theory, they cannot "prove" that it is fact. Even the current majority-held idea about gravity is comprised of mere laws and theories; these things can be found to be incorrect at any time.
That's simply the nature of science.
While factual statements can also be proven incorrect, I do not believe that this is the sense that you, like most people, consider the word "fact." In your case, it appears that facts are indisputably true, which they are most certainly not in regards to science.
To sum up this post, science can only disprove things, not prove them. Please do us a favor and refrain from thinking that the scientific community's majority opinion on a subject is the end-all to its correctness.
Don't forget the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Review of Das Keyboard

CmdrTaco, what version of OS X are you running? I'm not sure about earlier versions, but if you're running Leopard, you certainly have the option to reassign the modifier keys for different keyboards. That way, the modifiers would remain the same on your laptop keyboard, and be remapped to their respective positions on the DasKeyboard.
I do this with my Saitek Eclipse keyboard and my MacBook Pro, and the setup works pretty well so far. I have Alt remapped to command, and the Windows key remapped to option, so everything is essentially in the same place.
Now for the menu select key on the right side, that causes a slight problem...
Taking up and paying for two seats on the plane but only getting one skimpy rubbery meal?
While the plane may be consuming a constant amount of fuel based on weight alone (let's say a 400lb person paying for two seats vs two 200lb people), overweight individuals are proportionally using more resources in the process. This is due to the fact that fewer individuals are being transported on that constant fuel consumption, decreasing the plane's fuel efficiency per person. While the same amount of weight is theoretically being transported with a static efficiency of unit of weight per unit of fuel, more people can be transported with the same amount of fuel if they were able to fit into a single seat.
Of course there are other factors involved, but this was the simplest method of presenting the argument.
On the note of only receiving one meal, I cannot really argue with that, except the prospect of that extra meal simply being sold to the overweight person or being thrown away when it is not distributed to a traveler.
Hmm, I always thought that happiness was a warm gun. Damn those kids and their new-fanged stimulation techniques. Next thing you know, they'll be sticking cattle prods into people's heads.
The commercial flavor of WINE is being developed for OS X. It's called CrossOver, and it's developed by CodeWeavers, the same company which produces the commercial variant of WINE for Linux.
One last thing: If you had educated yourself about what the U.S. government is doing and has done, you would have known that Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 451, while faulty in presentation, was entirely based on fact.
I think you mean Fahrenheit 911, not Fahrenheit 411. Fahrenheit 411 was a work of Ray Bradbury, not Michael Moore.
Haven't we learned by now that centralized services don't exactly function as advertised? What happens when the server farm containing the blacklist gets hacked, and millions of spam senders are removed from that blacklist? It seems like the blacklisting system should take the BitTorrent approach and have copies of the database spread around.
When was the last time Apple updated AppleWorks for OS X, let alone Windows? I didn't even know they still made it for Windows. I'd think that they would mainly focus on their own platform over another.

Fortunately, it appears that Temple no longer has quite as bad a problem with that as they did before.
Having attended that god-forsaken institution for some time, I hadn't heard about anything of the sort going on, either from students or the news.
Considering that gold is one of the softer metals, I'd say that it's not too bad.
Just be glad they're not stocking titanium or steel in the machines. Those would really hurt your teeth.
Some might say it's both pornographic and a significant piece of India's history.
Isn't India disrespecting a culturally relevant artifact by Microsoft disallowing such a search?
How ironic that a school without sufficient knowledge to protect its students from identity theft lectures the world on personal privacy.
A number of student Social Security numbers were leaked not too long ago.
Here's the article
We looked at the Alan Shepards, Louis Armstrongs, and Buzz Aldrins as supermen.
I think you mean Neil Armstrongs. Louis Armstrong was a musician, not an astronaut.
Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to mention that in my original post.
Taking this into account, it's surprising that M$ didn't at least make an effort to resist the fine.
Their motto is usually "pry it from my cold, dead hands" in regards to these fines.
Wonder what's with the change of heart?
Company makes product, plans to sell it to make money.
Seriously, how is this news?
That same reasoning could be applied to any story.
Take "Government mismanages huge sums of taxpayer funds..." for example.
Rinse, repeat. It's the same story, but occurring at a different time. That's why this is news.
It appears that EA have broken the terms of that agreement.
After all, would you honestly expect EA to adhere to their own announcements? They have a spotty track record for that sort of thing.

At least we're not devolving...
Otherwise, we'd all be so Devo we wouldn't know what to do.

You may have assembled your own computer, but you didn't "make" it.

If anyone actually wanted to know, it would be: "Ich sehe nichts, ich höre nichts." There's your German lesson for today, Slashdot.
