@cameronreilly Howabout Acer? Ain't Mac OS, but you could pick an Acer with good Linux support. in reply to cameronreilly #
@cameronreilly Seems like anything with HPF+ support can access the drive, so you should be able to recover docs and such. in reply to cameronreilly #
@cameronreilly Yeah, backups. What will they think of next in Camino? in reply to cameronreilly #
@cameronreilly Tht should've been "Cupertino", BTW. *facepalm* in reply to cameronreilly #
What I love about Open Source? You can stand on the shoulders of giants. #
@miss_cath *heh* Even in 2010, advice will be trite and obvious. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Well, relationship advice has to be somewhat general. Every relationship is different, after all. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath I prefer Aero to the Beryl effects. Much less annoying after the "oh shiny" has worn off. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath God, yes, don't I know it.. in reply to miss_cath #
Ouch. Wubi throwing up drive errors for my empty drives (and Windows 7 is even less helpful with those than Vista was. Go figure.) #
@miss_cath Been there, done that, switched off Wobbly Windows as soon as I could. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Bet you ain't. I'm not using Linux, since it is not, and will never be. Geeks like me don't get usability. Stuff gotta be pure in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Case in point: The flak Canonical got for daring to make Linux somewhat user-friendly. Dear gods. Or the distro wars. No, thanks. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath So am I. Got a Ubuntu VM running right now, and keep taps on Ubuntu's development in general. 1st OS I recommend, too. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Yeah, @gnuchris is one of the saner Linux zealots around. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath One of two things that make me murderous… in reply to miss_cath #
@pst555 more than you think, fewer than you want. in reply to pst555 #
@pst555 And how homogenous/heterogenous an environment is, from hardware, via OS, to apps. in reply to pst555 #
@PsychoI3oy It's worked on my XBox since day one. ;P in reply to PsychoI3oy #
Fighting boredom. That's so very, very ironic. #
@objo Try coffee.. without cream? You might even like it. (Easier to get good, cheap, *and* organic tea than coffee, though.) in reply to objo #
@objo BTW: http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/true-brew-2-mr-tea/index.html Gives good hints regarding tea, even as refresher to vets. in reply to objo #
Gah. I hate waiting for downloads. Especially when I want to build an LFS system. Ah, well.. #
@bindermichi Handbreak? in reply to bindermichi #
@bindermichi Dann mal VLC versuchen? in reply to bindermichi #
@bindermichi hab sogar eine transcode.bat here rumliegen (müsste halt für h.264 oder so angepasst werden). aber k.a. wegen Untertitel. in reply to bindermichi #
@bindermichi Ich drück die Daumen.. in reply to bindermichi #
@louspringer Cool. Got botnetted already, too? in reply to louspringer #
@miss_cath An equal control issue: Rape. The two instances where I don't tame my lust for blood.. in reply to miss_cath #
@gnuchris Quite so. ^^ in reply to gnuchris #
@louspringer Changing the default sshd password should help already (that's the entry vector for the current jailbroken iPhones). in reply to louspringer #
@louspringer Should go to certs ASAP, if you ask me. in reply to louspringer #
Ugh.. cup of really mild coffee, and I get heartburn. Doesn't happen with strong brew. Bah. #
@mpesce Don't I wish.. in reply to mpesce #
@cameronreilly Trespassing laws? I guess a shopping center is private property. in reply to cameronreilly #
@gnuchris In a way, they do. Same way you do, if you read a book, for example. "Your mind makes it real." to quote Morpheus in The Matrix. in reply to gnuchris #
@LBugnion Green houses, and a warm climate in general, don't prevent strawberries in December from being bio. #ilovephysics in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion Shipping happens any season. Whence the importance of buying locally. *Growing* can happen as long as circumstnaces permit. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion If your definition means "Don't you use science!", then, yes, it's obviously different. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion Yes, that's why a green house is such a useful thing to have: http://tinyurl.com/lmw7f IOW: Make physics work for you. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion How about going there, and take a look at the ground? How the stuff is actually *produced*, before passing judgement? in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion I have no clue. I buy locally and by season (i.e. I pass on non-seasonal food at the grocer). in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion If they are "bio" as per label demands, then they are bio. If the label doesn't care about transport, change the label. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion Not quite. You didn't consider all possibilities why someone differing in opinion from you could be correct. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion We all need reality checks. Glad I could help. in reply to LBugnion #
@miss_cath Yeah, I value personal freedom very high, so it's only logical I hate both these things. the blood lust is a fringe benefit. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Rather be the neighbor of the Beast? in reply to miss_cath #
@bindermichi Ich kenn das als "Suchen und Ersetzen". #l33tsp34k #patent in reply to bindermichi #
@bindermichi Müsste man ins Patent selbst schauen. So oberflächlich gesehen: find ich net, dass das irgendwie neu wäre. in reply to bindermichi #
Something is wrong here.. iTunes is working out of the box, without annoying me? Strane things are afoot.. #
Anyone got Apple HQ's missile address? iTunes keeps not working, iPod not syncing. 1st and last time I bought and recommended Apple. #
Can you procrastinate procrastination? If so, I'm doing it. #
@chadfowler race cars shed the luxuries of your or my car in favor for speed and maneuverability. Not at all comfortable to drive a race. in reply to chadfowler #
@chadfowler Reflexes, endurance, decisions within milliseconds. Yeah, it's atheletic. Look at a driver after a race, for example. in reply to chadfowler #
@miss_cath wish my camera wasn't broken. It's similarly nice here, too, for a change. #
@miss_cath yeah, Isee opportunities everywhere, too. But the optics in my mobile blow. Ah, well. in reply to miss_cath #
Finally: rubyzen.org is alive #ruby #appliance #
@gnuchris A storm's a-coming, indeed. in reply to gnuchris #
@gnuchris Ugh. Remind me of that once I complain about the local weather again. #
@elight Aren't driver licenses state-level, with little to no federal guidance/laws? in reply to elight #
@wyhaines Why not? in reply to wyhaines #
@miss_cath I'd get a boat, too. All that snow is gonna melt eventually.. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath That's why I like having a fireplace. in reply to miss_cath #
@wyhaines Well, a canonical set of metrics would always be helpful, I'd say. in reply to wyhaines #
@pjhyett Have you been reading blogs again? in reply to pjhyett #
@Kle_ http://camstudio.org/ #windows #oss in reply to Kle_ #
@pragdave Hey, that's close to where I am. I live in Denial. #calvin #hobbes in reply to pragdave #
@Montaignejns From what I've read: Yes, you'll be able to enjoy Flash ads on the Nexus. in reply to Montaignejns #
@Montaignejns Actually, I'm glad I don't have Flash on my iPod Touch. Makes surfing much more bearable, IMO. in reply to Montaignejns #
@miss_cath I'd make an obvious "turn that frown upside down: ):" joke, but it's too obvious, even for me.. in reply to miss_cath #
@defunkt "apt-get install vim" in reply to defunkt #
@defunkt Admit it: you miss the ":" in reply to defunkt #
@miss_cath A kitten with claws, in other words. in reply to miss_cath #
@jm Invest in winter tyres. Helps a lot with grip during the yearly ice age. in reply to jm #
@Montaignejns Gotta love it. "moral obligation", indeed. Hypocrites. in reply to Montaignejns #
@miss_cath Nice. in reply to miss_cath #
@LBugnion Don't you Swiss have access to a digitalized postal service already? Could use that. in reply to LBugnion #
@peterc Saw that long before Twitter. Especially common on web forums. "'Quote' button? What's a 'quote' button?". in reply to peterc #
@peterc Or at least ship them from Europe, not the US.. in reply to peterc #
All that snow makes me want a hot chocolate. #
Playing 'Mass Effect™' http://tinyurl.com/kmsslb #xboxtweet #
@miss_cath Depends on the photoshop, I'd say. If it's a Ralph Lauren Photoshop, I'd be alarmed. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath That's some relief, then. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Absolutely. That's the way I'm wired, at least. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath That's what I hope. in reply to miss_cath #
@fdiotalevi Maybe that it is, well, dead-simple and featureless? in reply to fdiotalevi #
@miss_cath You are quite welcome in reply to miss_cath #
@bryanl Amazon's EC2 outages already did. And GMail outages. Or Google Apps for Domains outages. I probably missed a Salesforce outage. in reply to bryanl #
@miss_cath That's what you get for taking walks in the bloody cold. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath What, and let the camera gather dust? in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Point. in reply to miss_cath #
