But he was able to take a step back, and realize that at some point... he had to move on. He had spent half his career in the same position, and had to move onto different things. He had to leave, or else stagnate.
Plus it was getting close to the end of the series and he was hoping to get his own show.;-)
Dream jobs eliminate the one good thing about life. Vacation. Whether that be on the weekends, your random days off in the middle of the week, or the two weeks you spend lounging in Jamaica.
Nonsense. I'm working my dream job and I love it but that doesn't mean that I want to always be here day after day, hour after hour. Vacation and weekends are time for me to pursue my other interests of which I have several. To quote Groucho Marx, "I like my cigar, but I take it out once in a while."
Compared to today's digital timepieces, old-fashioned, sweep-hand watches are pathetic one-trick ponies.
If all you need your pony to do is one trick (provide accurate time) then what good are all of watches that can check temperature, altitude, and the time in Tokyo, play tunes and games, and send messages to that person who doesn't need them? The answer is nothing. Obviously there's enough people that buy analogue watches for people to keep making them.
Also a well crafted analogue watch can look far more sophisticated than a glowing piece of plastic jammed with buttons.
I've experienced the same thing. I have a IBM Thinkpad and I can type on it for much longer than on a regular keyboard before I experience any discomfort or pain. The reason, for me at least, is because the keys are flat. On any regular keyboard that I use each row of keys is positioned higher than the row in front of it. That forces my hand to sit up higher than my arm. Think of it as if you were holding up your hand to tell someone to stop. It's harder to put and keep your hand in that position than it is to keep it straight out or bent down a bit. Yet all of the regular keyboards have the stairstep rows which force my hand to be tilted up and back relative to my wrists.
Another thing about the laptop is that the keys travel a much shorter distance. They are also closer together. For example, I don't have to move my entire hand to use the cursor keys.
...that if i would spend over 200 bucks to get a mp3 mplayer and have 2 choices, a 250$ one and a 300$ one with a big hard drive capacity difference, i would pay the higher one.
And that's the logic Apple is using. Only they are targeting the consumer who says "if I would spend over 200 bucks to get a mp3 player and have 2 choices, a $200 one with 256MB of flash and a $250 with a hard drive. Then I would pay the higher one."

That's a great write up. You should add it to Wikipedia's Astroturfing entry.
I found the source code here.
I guess the time someone is angry and tells you to go fuck yourself, it would take on a whole new meaning.
The same thing could be said of South Park but it worked for them.
My Amiga would detect when a floppy was inserted and start automaticaly and this was back in 1988.

That's whack, my dapper friend.
You forgot to add "2005" to the end. Everyone will want to know what version it is, after all.
What software are you using for PVR?

Well, that's the American way of life. We're just following George's example. All hail our great leader!
You must be new here.

Anyway, this is just my experience.
And what was wrong with Lilypond's format? I know it's not that pretty but it works and is unencumbered. Was it because it wasn't buzzword compliant?
What are these "pants" that you speak of?
