They're business strategy flips me out the more I learn about it. Wish I had a crystal ball, or a crystal search engine to see where they're going to go with their 'relevant content' model next. Is there a hole in their approach? Seems pretty strong! Will be intersting to get a look at their financials after public offering.
My wife handed me a 'get off the hook card' by falling in love with an antique solitaire.8 carat diamond that had been inscribed on the inside band in the 20s. The diamond has nice color but a few flaws - I honestly forgot the rating, but it's pretty and not wimpy looking at all. At the time the 'formula' for getting an engagemnt ring would have dicated that I shell out about 6k - I was sucking in air an getting ready for that when she saw this one. It cost 2k... so look around (with her) under the guise of buying an antique bookshelf or something. It is almost a sure bet that she'll gravitate toward the gems/jewelery in an antique mallish type place. This could bite your butt though, thinking about it, you may want to scout out where you want to go 'bookcase' shopping before you take her anywhere....
The Pattern on the Stone : The Simple Ideas That Make Computers Work by Daniel Hillis Clickida
Elegant read on the fundamentals of computer design from a badass mofo. Simple and powerful, gives us an easy to understand rundown of how we got here and a glimpse at where we're going.
i have an audiomedia III and a digi 001 from digidesign - pretty much designed for pro tools - which rocks - and which are the only reasons i still use mac os (9). osx doesn't even have support for them yet - (and the audiomedia III has been out for _years_).... anyway, would love to see these supported by a linux audio package (and i guess that means kernel support).
Hit Men is an enlightening read on modern day independent promotion/payola - starts off about how pink floyd's the wall was basically blacked out in l.a. upon it's release cause they didn't use indy promo and expounds on the history from there.
Check it out...
this is cool. just peeked at the ftp site and saw an 'unsupported' directory and am dowloading the dm image from that. it's from last year, but hey my winder has been sitting in a milkcrate for three. maybe i'll replace the 120 db fan if it runs well, and actually use it. hope these people don't fuck this up like rebel.com did. please excuse my flatulence, as i have been drinking quite heavily.
a friend of mine in dallas has a marsenne prime as a phone number and, even cooler, and a number away, also the result of a prime factor as yet another number... please don't crank call him!
And the american nazi party or whatever it's called can march as well, wearing their modern-day regalia.
But what is interesting about this is if you do a search on kkk on ebay and see what turns up....
I was on my knees in the stall of a roadside bathroom giving yet another 10 dollar blowjob in '97 when the guy admitted he didn't have any money but did have a spare copy of 'teach yourself web publishing in 10 minutes' he could give me instead. The rest, as they say, is hi$tory!
I believe that ascap and bmi get a mechanical royalty on dat tapes to make up for revenues lost by people taping cd's on dat for home use. This was started shortly after dat tape hit the scene.
I can't think of a single person I know that uses dat in their home component system - pretty much is used musicians and engineers for storage of masters.
Silly.
just curious...
does anyone actually believe that microsoft attacking gpl could have any impact whatsoever, besides making them look like a whiney gorilla?
Why not lose the lizard in the netscape topic icon?
mozilla is it's own topic now, after all...

When my daughter was about 18 months she managed to do a tapdance on a machine's keyboard (running linux) and hit ctrl-alt-del.

Just watched it last night. Killer flick, great quality!
Will definitely check it out in the cinema at the first opportunity, now...
yellow dog (or any other linuxppc distro) smoke darwin or (on) osx when it comes to gimp or anything else desktop-wise.
don't do it. look at the release notes, and remind yourself this is a beta.
some of us are still stuck with pre g3 processors and still need to run pre osX. this is huge for us. hooray! (g'mon granny get me that g4!)
what are you like a shielding salesman or something?

Exactly.
How did this pro-nazi memorabilia on ebay thing become the slashdot party line?
ACLU lite? C'mon...

Didn't Mike Shaver, who took over JWZ's sopt after he left, leave mozilla to work for these people?
Wonder what he thinks about this...
stallman and lessig ... rassputen and stalin. right on!

This sounds familiar.

Isn't that where Mike Shaver works now? Is he still there?
