I'm surprised Woz hasn't pulled the chips, disassembled the code, written a patch (with comments) and uploaded it to the Internet already using nothing more than a bent pocket screwdriver and a wire-tie.

I mean, let's face it, the man's a God...

That's true, we are.

THEY. I mean THEY are... THEY are...

When I was a kid, there was a fabric/clothing store in town that had a system of cables and baskets that served the same function. I was always fascinated how the clerks would drop the money and receipt into a metal box attached to the basket, yank a cord and send the basket on a wire up to the high ceiling where the basket would be picked up by a continuously moving chain and sent to the back of the store. A minute later, the basket would return with the change and be dropped off at the counter, sliding down a wire to the clerk. By the time I was old enough to be able to figure out how it worked, it had been removed and the ceiling lowered to save energy.

I was a charter subscriber to OMNI. Actually, it wasn't OMNI I subscribed to, it was called NOVA at the time. There was apparently was a fuss made by WGBH and their NOVA TV series so the magazine's name was changed to OMNI before the first issue was published.

In the beginning it was quite good but in the later years it veered into pseudo-science and other nonsense and I lost interest and let my subscription lapse.

Petulance is far too abundant to be a rare element like #115.

It's more likely to be something extremely rare like peace, reason or sarcasm-detection.

...oops ;-)

My clock says today is Setting Orange, Day 73 of the Aftermath in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3175.

Did I just get modded troll for quoting the article?

I broke the sacred /. commandment of not reading TFA!

What was I thinking?

I do. Do you realise that the LHC isn't in the UK? What would be the point in using a plug that there isn't even a socket for in the country you're using the device in? You'd have to plug the LHC in through one of those cheap airport socket converters, and we all know how prone they are to being knocked out of the socket.

As for why people compare UK plugs to 'gimped' US plugs and not 'standard' 3-prongs, that would probably be because most US electrical devices they come into contact with don't have 3-prong plugs.

It may or may not be legal, but even if it is, it's still a scam. We all know a scam when we see it, and sometimes they happen to be legal.

1280x1024 = 5:4 = never happening.

However, there are off-the-shelf 1366x768 10.1" panels they could've shoved in there.

That said, my main machine is a ThinkPad T60p 15.0" with a 2048x1536 panel retrofitted.

I tried out the Photoshop package. It actually has a lot of info and tutorials in there. However, from watching and reading ads, it seemed that it would be a reasonable price. I wasn't notified of the nearly $200 charge for it. I called theem and told them it was a rip-off and false advertising. They gave me my money back AND let me keep the course. That really surprised me.

Oh come on - they showed something you could actually do with an iPhone, just not in the 23 seconds it took in the video. Adds where the phones literally pick the sun out of the sky are however accepted as okay, just like that spot where the train station is quickly filled with people just because somebody uses this rad new phone - because the whole idea is stupid to begin with, nobody cares that you couldn't gather a crowd in 30 seconds.

Or you can read the first article linked, which goes into great detail about video professor.
Perhaps you should RTEntireFA?

It's not nice because it hurts his parents and they might take my questions as intrusions in their lives. I know for a fact that this kid has problems, knowing the exact name of the condition (if it has one) won't make them happier, won't make the kid healthier and definitely won't make me smarter. So what's the point to ask? To me, the obvious is enough, I need not name it :)
