  1. Re:It's January 5th on Steve Jobs Issues Update On His Health · · Score: 1

    I am doing my best Steve Jobs impression right now. Post-cancer. So, yeah, I'm hoping and praying to gain some weight.

  2. just read it on Mac OS X Server Panther · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been reading this for a couple of weeks online at safaribooks online via my employer's free subscription using netglearning.

    I wish it went into more realistic scenarios. I just got OS Server and can't figure out most of the topics. Sure, the book makes it sounds easy, but it just doesn't work without knowing a lot more than the steps in the book. I am still trying to figure out some things, like how/why/where to 'name' the server? They give server.example.com, but I have no clue where this is done for the real name you give it, or why (why use .COM? do you need to? ) etc.

    One must know quite a bit about all the major topics, first. and I don't.

  5. Re:Get a clue... on Sub-Orbital Skydiving · · Score: 1

    My dad was a jet mechanic in the navy. He has told me a story about some of the early supersonic tests. He's seen where a plane has gone up, passed the barrier and come down with all it's paint BURNT OFF.

    I'd think it's a least possible the same thing could happen to this attempt.

  6. Star Trek Generations CUT opening dive scence AND on Sub-Orbital Skydiving · · Score: 1

    they also cut a later reference in the movie to the opening scene.

    I know, I was present when Shatner over-dubbed some lines in the movie to remove the reference.

    Bennett Innovations, a small A/V production company in Indianapolis, got a late night call from Paramount. They needed a studio to dub over the movie. Shatner came in the next day in a limo, and dubbed over the part of the movie where Kirk and Picard are on horses. When Kirk's horse goes counter-clockwise around picard's horse, the original scene had Kirk mentioning orbital skydiving. Shatner changed this part to mention "Nothing's real. She's not real either (eye-ther)." yadda yadda. You can tell the difference in the recording VERY MUCH if you pay close attention there.

    I still have a video tape of the original scene that mentioned skydiving. Is it worth anything to trek collectors????

    Anyway, on that same session, Shatner also recorded "Beam them out of there Scotty!!" that shows up early in the movie.

    He also recorder a radio spot for European markets. It had something to do with Club Med, but the European market called it something else different. Club Euro??? I forget. Anyway, he recorded it, but it was a joint spot with american express. You know, don't leave the solar system without it, type of commercial.

    Shatner was very professional and gracious. I even took a picture of him that made it into the local paper The Indiana(polis?) Business Journal, about the recording session.

    I heard that he has a daughter that lives in Carmel, a northern suburban area around Indy.

    Hope someone finds this interesting.

  7. I replied to proprietary on More On The Mac and Unix · · Score: 1

    I didn't change the context of the incorrect statement that was made.

    NuBus is not proprietary. Simple as that. There is no room for argument.

    I stand correct.

  8. Re:MacOS X and Unix and stuff... on More On The Mac and Unix · · Score: 1

    NuBus wasn't proprietary. It wasn't designed at Apple. If you have to ask where, DON'T. Go to google and research it for you own damn lazy ass.

  9. Pricing of macs high? $799 iMacs are cheap. on More On The Mac and Unix · · Score: 1

    Plus, they have $699 iMacs in the refurb part of the Apple Store right now.

    Those are not high prices for all you get, which I won't list.

  10. The new mouse has NO buttons. on Apple Licences Amazon's 1-click Shopping · · Score: 1

    Steve himself declared it button-less.

    That's less than zero.

  11. Last night in INDY/Indianapolis I saw Big fireball on Leonid Meteor Shower Tonight · · Score: 2

    Took the trash out and looked up and there was a fireball that was just a bit dimmer than the moon. It was in the North sky and its tail stretched longer than my house is wide - in my field of view, that is. It was very blazing and lasted a long time. Neatest celestial event I've seen since those impacts with Jupiter (? I think) a few years back. COOOL!

  12. One more thing... on What to do when your Domain is Threatened? · · Score: 1

    keep in mind they don't own purdue.com, either.

    Last I checked, it was owned by the fansonly.com owner.

    I asked if he'd sell it about a year and a helf ago. He said he planned on using it.

    I guess he probably is interested in your case as well.

  13. I ran PurdueBUZZ. I consolidated with mrhoops.com on What to do when your Domain is Threatened? · · Score: 2

    I ran PurdueBUZZ and then consolidated my content with mrhoops.com.

    One of the discussions that I have had with my three partners is that of using Purdue in the domain name.

    I'd be MOST INTERESTED to know how this turns out.

    Our take was that we didn't want to test the waters, per se.

    Drop us a line if you have updates or questions.

  15. Wal-Mart has been selling these for quite some on Wal-Mart Sells Home Spy Gear · · Score: 1

    Wal-Mart has been selling these for quite some time now. I noticed them probably about a year ago when I bought my 35" TV on-line with satellite speakers and subwoofer for ...$450!!!!!!
