The punk scene followed the rise of punk music, so I don't understand how you could say it's not about music. Sure, there was fashion and politics and lifestyle and "attitude", but all that varied from person to person. Music was the one thing everyone had in common.
I think a widescreen, iPhone-style iPod is inevitable. Remember how much attention was given to multimedia -- photos, music, movies -- during the iPhone demo? I don't think there's any way Apple won't release an iPod based on this design. Probably not anytime soon, granted; probably not until the iPhone has been on the market for a while, but I'm sure it's coming. I'd put money on it. They'd be stupid not to do it.
Have you considered the possibility that crime isn't the issue but general safety (for those riding bikes to school) and temperature (believe it or not, it's generally colder before sunrise) are?
I've driven I-5 lots of times (GF lived in San Jose, I lived in LA) and there's not a whole lot of passenger vehicles.
You're speaking in the past tense, which makes me wonder how long ago this was. I currently drive from SF to LA half a dozen times a year and the bulk of the traffic on the 5 is passenger vehicles. There are still lots of trucks, sure, but there are a lot of cars with just one or two people.
Personally, I would love to see a high-speed train connecting these cities. Airfare is too expensive when you consider you'll also have to rent a car in LA (flying from LA to SF is cheaper because you won't need a car), but the 6+ hour drive is pretty grueling.
I think the word you're looking for is "fan fiction". That's all Brian Herbert's work is, nothing more, nothing less. In fact, I've read better amateur fan fiction on the web than the stuff he puts in his books. Just goes to show that a well-known name can get you places that a lack of talent can't.
On what planet is this? I'd be interested in seeing a report that showed anything but Mac users outnumbering Linux desktop users by at least ten to one.
Don't let numbers about "linux installations" fool you. The vast majority of Linux machines out there are not desktop systems. And servers are completely irrelevant to this discussion.
The cross-site scripting exploit certainly is. I think the original poster was saying that someone is taking advantage of XSS exploits in Myspace to redirect users to a page containing an IE6 exploit.
Regardless, if Myspace allows people to upload/embed JavaScript, they are definitely at least partially at fault. This is basic web application security 101.
If the alternative is going into the office, I think a midmorning brunch with the possibility of interruptions is still better for everyone involved.
My SO and I both work from home occasionally and while that means that we sometimes have to ignore each other and do work, it also means that we can spend time together in between.
You could Unison (*nix, OS X, Windows) to keep your home directory synced between multiple machines, but another option might be to just get rid of the desktop altogether. Plug the monitor and keyboard into your laptop when you're at home and you'll always have all your data with you when you take it away.
The farmer is now violating the seed patent as his plants are partly from this other seed, and he cant get rid of them with the normal herbicide since they are resistant.
No problem. First, spray herbicide to kill all the non-Monsanto corn, which allows you to isolate the Monsanto-tainted plants. Then burn those. Problem solved!
It's easy to get into SF from the East Bay if you happen to live close to a BART station. Luckily, when I lived in Berkeley I did, but it's going to make buying a house over there in a few years difficult because proximity to BART is a requirement for me. This eliminates the majority of Berkeley and Oakland and leaves the areas that are likely too expensive (Rockridge) and or too unpleasant (much of the rest of Oakland).
Google shuttles only make a few stops though, they aren't comparable to a municipal bus line at all. If you get on mid-route, you'll only have two or three stops at most in SF before getting on the freeway non-stop to Mountain View. When you then consider that the bus can take the carpool lane and you can't (assuming you're driving alone), it doesn't actually take much longer at all.
Of course, the Google employees who see value in living in an area surrounded by culture don't live in Silicon Valley. They live in San Francisco and, you guessed it, take the shuttle to Mountain View.
So, just so I'm clear on this, you think imprisoning Ahmet Turk for six months is reasonable for the crime of referring to Abdullah Ocalan as "Mr. Ocalan"?
That was always my standard response when I got an off-hours call at a previous job: "Sorry, I've had a couple drinks and can't drive". Whether it was true or not, you can't argue with it.
I think we can stop right here. HTTP error 404 has absolutely nothing to do with DNS. You get a 404 if you reach the correct server via HTTP (ie, DNS is working normally) but the rest of the URI is invalid ("file not found"). A DNS error is basically "server not found", which is a very different thing.

But then, any real punk* would know this.

BBEdit hasn't been the best editor for OS X for a long time. Take a look at TextMate, to name just one option.

If by "into oblivion" you mean +5 Funny, it's been taken care of.
You're welcome!
Good call.

Oddly, OpenID was created by the founder of LiveJournal, a large social networking site.

Nice, but you didn't actually answer my question. I'll take that as a "yes".
So, just so I'm clear on this, you think imprisoning Ahmet Turk for six months is reasonable for the crime of referring to Abdullah Ocalan as "Mr. Ocalan"?
That's pret-ty black.
(it's a Twin Peaks reference, you philistines)
Pussy? Back in my day we'd kick your ass without even smearing our eyeliner!

Not to mention the nine hour days (8 + 1 for lunch) that are being passed off as eight hours these days. When did the usual 9-5 become 9-6?
Actually, I'm lucky in that I currently work a true eight hour day (9-5) but I'm looking for new work and know I'll have to give it up.
