  1. Great! on TextWrangler 2.0 Freely Available · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I've been using the last version of BBedit Lite forever. Can't wait to download this tonight.

  2. Re:goodbye bank account on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1
    What will the Apple trolls carp about now? Ah yes, that's right. The one mouse button. It is at least getting harder to bash Apple products.

    Actually, the Mac mini doesn't even have a mouse!

  3. My gosh that thing is small on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    The Mac mini weighs 2.7 pounds. That's less than any Apple laptop (granted without the LCD). I see people taking this in the car and plugging them into those LCD screens. I'll be buying one as a general purpose computer and maybe to try out Tiger Server when it comes out. As for the iPod shuffle, I lost my USB stick, so this would replace it nicely.

  4. Re:This is ridiculous. on iTunes User Sues Apple Over Lock-In · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Sure. Just tell me how I can get the music I legally purchased licenses for at iTunes converted over to any other music store, and I'll cease using iTunes. Or did you want me to throw away the music, and pay the MAFIAA fees again, after I already have purchased my license to listen?

    First tell me how to convert the legally purchased Windows game I have over to another operating system.

  5. Original link on Enthusiast Hacks WiFi Into Treo 650 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here's the link to the original discussion posting on TreoCentral.com.

  6. Poland on Poland Blocks Software Patents in the EU · · Score: 1, Funny

    It seems that the EU forgot about Poland. :)

  7. Re:iPhone, uPhone we all phone for iphone... on More on Apple/Motorola Joint Cell Phone Venture · · Score: 3, Informative

    It refers to Steve Lillywhite producing their 1st, 2nd, 3rd and fourteenth albums.

  8. CoH-style on Midway Fine with NFL Split · · Score: 1

    Just make a City of Heroes style football game where users can make their own teams, design their own players, logos, etc, and have a txt import function for player names & stats.

  9. Re:Incorrect assumption on Mathematics and Sex · · Score: 4, Funny

    Who cares? You just slept with a hundred people. :)

  10. Re:Legality of Harmony on New iPod Firmware Locks Out RealNetworks Music · · Score: 1
    The ipod belongs to the owner who paid for the device. Not to Apple. If you want to load Real content on it or if you want to store your Microsoft XP home directory on there, you should be able to do whatever you want to do.

    You can put whatever you want on the iPod. It's seen as a hard disk. It may not do anything useful with those files in your XP home directory, but you can move them from one computer to another.

  11. Re:still tight in Houston. on What is the Tech Jobs Situation in Late 2004? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Lots of jobs at the oil companies (including mine) are going to India these days. :(

  12. YFL on Poland Erases EU's Pro-Software Patent Majority · · Score: 1, Funny

    Looks like the software patent people forgot about Poland.

  13. Re:Free as in what?? on Solaris 10 Released, Updated & Free (Like Speech) · · Score: 1
    Free speech = drinking beer with an annual subscription fee for support? Yeah, I guess that works in a geeky kind of way. He might speak pretty freely after having lots of beer, and on each New Year's Eve pay some guys to show up at his home to support him in software development. :-P

    Sounds more like the bars in dry counties in Texas that you pay a nominal $1-$5 annual license in order to be able to drink.

  14. Re:Audion Advantages over iTunes on The Real Story of Audion · · Score: 1
    I know Audion plays more audio formats than iTunes, and as freeware it's worth downloading just for that even if all else were equal.

    As opposed to iTunes, which costs a fortune -- oh wait.

  15. You forgot Hawaii! on 3D Election Results Map by County · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hawaii, that is one of the members of our coal^H^H^Hstates. :) /Poland

  16. Lycoris on Changes in Lycoris · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've never been a big fan of the stuff. Tastes too much like poppyseed or chewing tobacco. :)

  17. Mac on Funniest IT Related Boasts You've Heard? · · Score: 1

    "You use a Mac? Can that even route TCP/IP?" -- one of the tech leads where I work. Sigh.

  18. Re:FM Tuner? on Rumors of Next Generation of Ipods · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Who cares. FM is garbage mostly now. That is why I bought the iPod so I could carry all my music with me so I could avoid the frikin' radio. Radio is dead.

    But not sports. The only thing I would want an AM/FM tuner for would be so I can still record/listen to sports stations. It would also be useful for timeshifting certain talk shows as well.

  19. Re:Learning/Unlearning goes both ways! on Windows to Mac Migration Guide/Advice? · · Score: 2, Informative
    The big thing I had to learn:
    • Create a folder called Test. Put some files here.
    • Go to another location and create another folder called Test. Put some different files here.
    • Drag the first Test folder to where the 2nd one is and drop it there. OS X will ask you if you want to replace the contents.
    OS X replaces all the contents of the folder, not just copies over the different files.
  20. Re:I wonder home many will switch on Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy! · · Score: 1
    From IE to Safari?

    If you're a Mac OS X user, everyone. MS isn't developing IE for the Mac anymore.

  21. Re:How long.... on Google Releases Gmail Notifier · · Score: 1

    I use gmail with Safari on 10.3 without any problems.

  22. Sheesh. on Speculation About An Apple Tablet · · Score: 5, Funny

    Jobs takes a month off on medical leave and they try to sneak the Newton back in while he's gone. :)

  23. No thanks on XP SP2 Torrent Shows Legal P2P's Promise · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm too busy downloading the 10.4 Tiger preview. :)

  24. Re:64 bit OS on Windows XP-64 Delayed Into 2005 · · Score: 0
    Oh, will I just? And what should I do with my Sparc workstation then?

    Sell it and get a PowerMac G5. :)

  25. 1997 Star Wars? on Tiny Moon is No Space Station · · Score: 4, Funny
    Although the icy moon bears a striking resemblance to the fictional 1997 'Death Star' from the Star Wars film by George Lucas, this low-density satellite probably had a more likely past not as a weapon or space station, but instead as a victim of one catastrophic day in its ancient history. That day Mimas came closer to dying rather than committing any planet-scale homicide.

    1997? I know Lucas would like for us to forget about that "quaint" 70's version of the film, I didn't think he'd get scientific institutions to buy it!
