General Hospital was only 30 minutes originally; it didn't become 60 until the late 70s. And even then, the number of commercials per hour has surely changed over time. So, your estimate is quite off.
I prefer One Life to Live anyway;D
Chicago's transit is better than most cities in the US, but private cars are in wide use - far more than in Manhattan. Banning them outright would be impractical...but while reading through the comments for this article, I kept thinking to myself, "It's Chicago, just don't drive if the meters bother you that much."
This is what I did for my ipod touch. I was using wifi sharing from my mac laptop to get internet to it, but it got the registration screen. Since you can't install the CSA on that, I changed the DNS to 4.2.2.1 and I never got it again. Since the agent only runs once on Macs, I just let it, and uninstalled ClamXAV (lol) after that.
IBM copyrighted the design in 1984, but no keyboards are actually that old. Also on the label, you will find a date of manufacture. IBM was including the 1984 copyright on new keyboards well into the 90s.
You still got it wrong;) www.freestylephoto.biz. In any case, they don't appear to make Polaroid 600-compatible film, only 660, which doesn't fit the 600. I still have my 600, but no film, as I wasn't aware of the discontinuance at the time.:(
And one more thing, saying that linux sucks for backwards compability unless you use open source software is the equivalent of saying that windows sucks for games unless you use directX. While technically true, you're negating the best, best feature of the OS in that arena.
That's fair; however, it's one feature that, I think, we're being too idealistic about. As much as I would like to see more commercial open-source software, the kinds of software that are probably needed for a real upsurge in Linux's popularity are not going to be written as open-source. The makers of such software aren't going to want to recompile for every Linux distro release when Windows (and heck, other *nixes) allow the same software to run for years, sometimes even decades, on the same binaries.
As for Modules...I looked at that homepage, and it sounds like something that could get very messy, with all those libraries installed and the user environment being changed all the time. Does it?
Just to play devil's advocate, linux runs any X11 app and that goes back decades and decades (e.g., nethack is from 1985).
Nethack may be old, but the binary you use on Linux was compiled recently. Set up an old Linux system (RH 6.2, to throw something out there), run Nethack on it, and then try to run the same binary on a new system. It won't work.
Having the software be open-source alleviates most of this, but closed-source will never work too well on Linux unless they stop breaking everything all the time.
More like a filing cabinet of polaroids. My "friends" on Facebook often take 50+ photos of every single event and post them all. Most of the pictures aren't even worth saving. (Such as the ones with me in them:)
Rail slower than car? What is it that Amtrak does wrong?
Amtrak's tracks are owned by freight companies and are in generally poor condition. That's good enough for them, though, since freight trains can barely break 40. They have no incentive to fix them up to allow Amtrak's ~90mph trains to run at the proper speed. And they get stuck behind freight trains sometimes, slowing them down even more.
Alright. You have to admit, though, it would look pretty silly: one cord, spilts into two, only to join back together to connect to another set of headphones (which split again). It might even make the combined cord a bit too long for convenience (which would be paramount in a tiny player).
From the pictures, it seems that the remote is above the main part of the cable, on the section that goes directly to the R earbud. Wouldn't splicing then only give you access to the Right stereo channel?
Look at the pictures. The remote is on the right earbud cable, after it splits to go to each ear. Splicing it would result in you having access to only the right stereo channel.
> 1) Apple stopped using 5.25" FDDs well before the 1990s. Every Mac that came with a floppy drive from their inception in 1984 came with a 3.5" FDD.
Apple sold the Apple//e until 1993 or so, which had a 5.25" floppy drive. I guess that's even more nitpicky than you, because the Apple// had nothing to do with the Mac anyway.

OWA works on Firefox, too.

That's $800 Canadian for the 3GS. As with everything, stuff costs more in Canada (especially since, I believe, the exchange rate is very close to 1.)
Don't you put your address on your resume too? That would solve the out-of-state issue.
I don't own any credit cards, and pay for almost everything with cash, to avoid the stuff you write about. But I have a Borders Rewards card.
I hate myself. :(
(On the other hand, the Borders near my house closed, so I don't have a convenient place to use it anymore.)

I know that other Unixes do better in this regard. My comment was in reply to Linux being specifically mentioned.

Your username couldn't be more appropriate for that post. :)
A gameplay video leaked a day or two after 3DR announced the closing.
Well, he *did* say "OS naming trend." Windows 1.0 through 3.11 were not operating systems.

I can't speak for Vista or 7, but Edlin is still in XP, I think. MS hasn't made any changes to it since they introduced MS-DOS Editor with...DOS 5.0.

Pink Floyd is a lousy example here, because they *did* record at least two more albums later that were almost as highly regarded.
