As someone with RP I welcome this news. As someone that keeps tabs on treatment developments, I imagine that these implants are '10 years away' from being available to me.

Oh my! How they've turned full circle. Appropriate name, mind you.

Yes, thanks Nerdfest - a true lol there!

Best post this year!

I hope those 40 clear raisins are delicious.

So that we can serve ya'll up a crapload of iAds.

Haha... beat me to it!

As a result of the fallout, I moved to the cloud. The plan was to wait for the dust to settle, for LibreOffice to get accepted into most of the mainstream distros and for the bugs to be ironed out.

But having used Google Docs exclusively for quite a while now, I honestly don't think I'll be switching back to OO/LO. Google Docs does everything I need.

Nonetheless, I put my 'cannot lose' stuff into the ol' Dropbox and that's it. Half-yearly I distribute my music library to a a few select locations around the globe. But to be honest, I would be upset for perhaps 30 minutes if it all disappeared.

Hoorah! I can finally re-purchase all my albums in 24-bit, so I can hear them the way Dr. Dre hears them! (j/k)

Would I be correct in assuming that XLD is the OS X replacement for EAC? If not, what's my best option?

Not specifically security related but does anyone have any idea what version of rsync has shown up in the beta? The version that ships with 10.6 is rather outdated so it'd be great if this (pretty important) tool were brought in line with where rsync is now.
