Yeah, my parachute pants may not fit anymore but my Whitesnake CDs play as well as they did back in the 80s. But some of my CDs from that era are unplayable when they don't show any visible scratches.
Any plans on releasing an updated version on the internets? I've liked the additional lyrics when I hear it live.
And thank you sir for your work.

Yeah, most of the time in the movies they're just trying to kill everyone. So no big loss on me they don't work like that.
Though I admit I would enjoy using Siri more if she were more like GlaDOS. She should at least have a sense of humor if she's going to give me the wrong information.
Totally agree with you on this. Seems like 90% of the Flash I encounter on the web is advertising so I haven't missed it in my iPhone or iPad. Crap. This is sad news. Here is hoping Apple will enable the "Reader" function on the iOS Safari.
Love how stable the video is while the objects are traveling by at 17,000 mph. And what a great set up. Wow. Just. Wow. Wonder if there are some old Apollo parts up there still in orbit he can capture?
I've got an Intel Mac Mini connected to my Panasonic 50" 1080 Plasma via HDMI. Works great! Am using bluetooth keyboard and mouse, Apple remote, and EyeGalto EyeTV 250 to make the Mac a DVR. Nice because it records in HD and standard. Sound is going through my surround sound system, I never use the volume on the TV. This set up works well for watching Hulu, The Daily Show and Colbert Report on the browser. Plus I can watch DVDs and iTunes content as well.
I agree, its too complicated to use efficiently its not intuitive at all. As a developer, I hate using it and building sites for it because its not easy to use and damn ugly. I've taken a couple of courses on it but its one of those things that if you don't use it, you forget how to do things. I think the only people that use it and like it on the organizations I've been with are Project managers. Everyone else just avoids using it all together.
Funny, in a regional web developer (50 people) meeting about SP we all took a poll on if anyone had changed the default look and feel from the blue banners. Nobody had. It was basically a show and tell of horror stories of how long it takes to get it up and running (avg 8 months) and how crappy the manuals are (inaccurate and convoluted). My current employer is trying to set it up for an intranet for 12,000 employees and we've spent about 10 months on it and have to start from scratch since the route we took didn't quite work out.
Its a cash cow for MS. They make a ton of money selling this piece of crap. I'm glad I don't have it at home.
Hell yeah, well said. In Seattle the law seems to be "Stay left except to pass." Its crazy to see all the cars clustered over to the left all doing the same speed. Often times the far right lane is the one totally open and is the one to use to pass people. And I've talked with people here who think they are fully entitled to sit in the left lane. They say, "I'm doing the speed limit, there is no need for you to pass." Nice.
Having driven the highways in Germany, France, and Italy I was amazed at how well the traffic moved. Everyone stayed to the right. They only used the left lane to pass a slower vehicle. It was impressive to see just how well the traffic moved; fast and efficient.
I saw it last night through a special early showing, and I LOVED it. It fits in well with the other movies, and its great to see them do it again. Liked the cinematography too, as they made it seem like you were watching a movie made in the 50s with the colors and lighting. Fun story, good stunts, humor, adventure, all the ingredients for an Indiana Jones movie. I'd see it again.
No, I don't work at ILM, though I'd love to!
Depending on what state you live in, and what ATT can get away with, there are usually some monthly fees on top of your bill. Like the taxes from the local government, and then the fee they charge you to pay the taxes, and whatever else they like to bilk from you. In Seattle my friend is on the $60/mo plan but has an additional $20 in fees from ATT to make it nearly $80/mo for his iPhone.
Still pretty dang expensive for me, even at the lowest rate. I'll sign on when I can get an iPhone for $200 and then pay $40/mo. I take after my dad who should have founded cheapbastard.com.
I would first kick Bush in the nuts at my inauguration, right after they swear me in.
Then I would de-classify all documents/notes related to those secret meetings between Cheney and the energy moguls.
Might as well de-classify all the info pertaining to the build up to the Iraq war, in other words, I'd have full public disclosure. No more secrets.
Reinstate the estate tax, otherwise mislabeled the "death tax." I think everyone should help pay for this stupid war.
Kick Cheney in the nuts.
Solve the crisis in the middle East with my secret plan.
Yeah, I'd make it illegal to torture people. I know, people love that one now but it just goes against what I think America should stand for.
Bring Formula 1 back to the US.
For my 2nd day I'd probably try to sart some sort of energy initiative thingy with a catchy slogan.
I haven't been able to tell from the news if the test was above ground or under ground. If its above ground, what sort of radioactive fallout would the world have to worry about with wind patterns and drift?
I use Fireworks and Photoshop equally for web design/development. I love Fireworks as a layout tool, its simple and faster to use to create page layouts. In layout I tend to use vector based images for creating my designs and this program allows the user to edit these objects so easily. Plus, you can do preliminary HTML building with its slices and exporting functions. Photoshop is of course invaluable, and I use it for creating images and adjusting photos since Fireworks isn't as robust in that area. I use them both and dont want to see either of them discontinued.
It seems like we're reinventing the wheel if we go this route. Isn't there a way we can use the same plans and build the same vehicles used in the Apollo program? Why not just build more Saturn 5s and landers since we already know how these work and how reliable they are. The Saturn V had a perfect operating record.

Wonder what he used. I know if I were going up to the space station it would take me a while to decide on what lenses to bring.

Cool you got ClickToFlash to work. Every time I went to YouTube it crashed Safari so I uninstalled it. Might try monkeying around with it some more.
Agreed. I'm glad there isn't Flash on the iPhone. 99% of it is just annoying ads. F-em. And thank you Steve Jobs for not having it on there.

I do too. No speed limits on the Autobahn and they have F1 and the Nurburgring. My recipe for an advanced civilization.

Impressive! But do you still live in your mom's basement with your Star Wars collection? That is the mark of a true geek.

Who cares if it works?

And of course the definition of faith is "to believe in something you know isn't true."
Or they could use Skynet by Cyberdyne Systems. That computer kicks ass (literally).
I think it might look something like this: Microsoft xPod
I already do.
Right there with you. I never liked using ImageReady. They just don't get it with that app.
