  1. iPods don't have digital out either on Review of the Squeezebox · · Score: 1

    That was the main reason I got the SqueezeBox3. Also, it's purdy-lookin'.

  2. huh? on Top 50 Science Fiction TV Shows · · Score: 1

    Since when are comic book adaptations considered sci-fi? Superman, Batman, Lois and Clark, and Wonder Woman? If any comic book adaptations made the list, it should have been the animated X-men series or The Incredible Hulk. At least, David Banner was a scientist. Also, where the heck is Quantum Leap? Another show with a scientist. I also echo the outcry about omitting Red Dwarf (should have made top ten) and Blake 7. Also, the more recent version of The Outer Limits was actually better in many ways than the original. Overall, the list is pretty lame.

  3. Re:Bad Selection of stress tests on Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection · · Score: 1

    What they should have tried was jogging on a treadmill for an hour and getting it wet with copious amounts of sweat. That's how my first Shuffle got destroyed. I bought a second Shuffle, and a case for it this time. iPod would be much better if they were sweatproof!

  4. Re:Use TextEdit to create LaTex files on Tiger Spotlight Less Then Optimal · · Score: 1

    Thanks, for the tip about TeXShop. That's what I use, and I didn't realize it is "Spotlightable". However, can't you just create queries to do what you want? For example "author and smith"?

  5. Use TextEdit to create LaTex files on Tiger Spotlight Less Then Optimal · · Score: 1

    If you use TextEdit to create your LaTex files, then you could use Spotlight to search them.

  6. MATLAB is not a "programmer's" language... on MATLAB Programming Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    This is not necessarily a bad thing, however. As an engineer, I use MATLAB (academic license) almost every day because it lets me solve the problems I care about, without having to worry about programming too much. There are many of us out there who are "literate" programmers, and took those courses in college, but as we get older (and have real responsibility), we just want programs that work and solve the problems we need to solve. That is what MATLAB is about. It's not about garbage collection and stack management. If that's your bag, then you need to stick to C or assembly, I guess. Having said that, I think a MATLAB "programming" contest is a bit silly.
