Journal Journal: rsync for Windows? 2

I am looking for an rsync client for Windows, any suggestions? This is for family members who I have yet to convert to the Cult of Mac. I know about cwRsync, but I am looking for something more akin to WinSCP which I currently have them using. Some are on flaky DSL connections so a protocol that could resume would be preferable to straight SCP.

Journal Journal: Firehose? Did I miss this

So went to the /. front page and saw a new button in the header; FireHose. Is this new, did I miss it? Did I miss dozens of JEs about this?
For those that can't see it, it appears to be a look into the story queue that allows tagging and primitive voting "thumbs up"/"thumbs down". I "printed" a PDF of the page, and here is a scr

Journal Journal: Plan B OTC

The FDA has finally approved Plan B as an over the counter medication after more than 3 years of debate! You have to be over 18 to buy it, but it's still a step in the right direction, fewer abortions and more choices here we come!

Journal Journal: Stupid Apple! Stupid Motorola! Stupid OctaneZ?

So I noticed my Apple Addressbook was empty today when I went to much with iChat. No problem I thought, I'll just sync it off my phone, I've added a couple entries to it recently, no problem! Fire up sync, let it turn through everything, and lo, it decided to keep seven!!!! Yes SEVEN!!!! of my addresses and delete everything else off my phone!!!

Journal Journal: Sick of Bad Metamoding 2

So someone back me up; I moderated this post as funny, it got metamoderated as "Unfair." I've only gotten "Unfair" metamods in the couple weeks, really annoying.

Journal Journal: New Slashdot/CSS annoyance 5

Okay, it's Wednesday, so maybe this is the newest feature; but it's driving me crazy. When scrolling down through an article the "# of comments/Better-Worse/More-Less" Bar jumps to the top of the window and sticks there; taking up precious real estate on my little 12" pBook. Maybe it's because I have mod points at the moment I don't know. Just very frustrating.

Journal Journal: [Birthday] A short poem^h^h^h^hMadlibs for johndiii

When at last I see thy eyes my heart swells with lust of unimaginable desire.
Blood and alcohol pulse through my veins.

All the world could waste away but for your brightness.

Oh dear John,
You make me swoon
As I wander these lonely roads
You smile strikes me.

ATI Claims HDCP Then Covers Its Tracks 328

BigControversy writes "It looks like a big can of worms is being opened. The DailyTech.com is reporting that ATI sold millions of video cards knowing that HDCP support was not enabled. Despite that, the cards were sold and advertised to its customers as having HDCP capabilities. A day or two after this information was revealed, HDMI.org went completely password protected and ATI is now modifying key areas of its website, removing any mention of 'HDCP-ready'."

Journal Journal: How teens are redefining their sexual image [Tom Read this] 2

The New York Metro's The Cuddle Puddle of Stuyvesant High School is a really interesting, if long (7 pages) look at how teens are redefining their sexuality. Admittedly it may not be a representative sample, as Stuy is one of the hardest schools in the country to get into; so these are very bright students; and this article has to do with a self-selecting subset of them. But the article looks at home homosexual expression has become m
