Comment Re:Standard Missing Option Gripe (Score 1) 708

I fully agree!!! The worst is the acting (from writing) of persons who quarrel and talk as if nothing happens to human language, emotions and understanding the next x hundred years; same goes for movies trying to depict the past, the minimal understanding of language structure would help (we talk way faster now than a hundred years ago, and the ego is much more evolved thus most conversations in past or future movies are emotionally totally off the mark)

feelings - a compassion based captcha might even asure that the human has good intent (and if droids evolve emotions, true compassion would mean it is complying to asimov ruke zero and wouldnt harm humanity) > > >There are no questions that can't be answered by a computer (and which can be answered by a human mind). The Church-Turing thesis has some validity: the human mind is no more powerful than a turing machine, and ultimately, computers and our brains are equivalently computationally. There's nothing a computer can't solve: there are just things we haven't figured out yet.

Comment use them for geocaching (Score 1) 546

small usb drives are perfect to put inside geocaches, especially as first find - any nice cc photos, music or even programs will do as gifts, and google earth links or clues for finding other caches will be really interesting too (then you can have the usb key be a permanent part of the cache, so the finder may have to bring a laptop on the trail:)

Comment google docs for shared text - iwork for layout (Score 1) 207

I am surprised that google docs is so big, even the size of 1/5 of oo users is pretty amazing, as i have always regarded it as an experiement (beta;) but now i have been using if for shared documents a year and it has just the right size and usefullness for most of my needs, when i am online. Using a mac i naturally use iwork, which imho is way and above any competition - fast, userfriendly, iphoto integration, useful themes and very easy to use, only been missing dual column editing - and cheap!

Comment itunes works by simplicity - and workarounds... (Score 1) 668

I specifically like itunes because it has /few/ settings and fully supports my ipod (touch) with adress book, calendar, bookmarks etc I just copied my osx ipod library onto my friends vista, merged the artwork folder into her old artwork folder and told itunes to add the new music folder, it works perfectly (albeit way slower on vista than osx;) But the dead rat was removing missing songs, as itunes still cannot sort by (!) so i selected all, in info set rpm to 42 and sorted by rpm, now the missing files were at one end, fully deletable;)
