Analog Kid

Usually, I get pretty excited about new technologies and standards, but this just isn't doing it for me...
I've finally resigned myself to having a mirror set of hard drives for backup. Storing to removable media is too hard to organize, requires too many discs, and the optical discs don't have a life span long enough to make me comfortable. With the information density of BluRay I'm sure the recordables are going to have lousy longevity. I'll stick with live copies that I can keep testing the checksums on.
So, for me they're nothing more than a distribution method for high-def video and the fun has even been taken out of that by all the DRM shackles they've wrapped around it. I wonder how many people are really going to throw out their whole home entertainment system just to be able to play BR discs. If the recordable discs are $50, I'm sure discs with content will be at least that much-- and I can't back up this expensive, fragile data? I've got enough $12 DVDs I can't watch on my Mac because they've gotten scratched. Can't watch it on any computer I chose? Can't rip it to my iPod?
(come to think of it, $50 recordable media is probably all the DRM they need... Who's going to make an illegal copy when the blank media costs more than a DVD player?)
And doesn't the DRM phone home?!?
Nah. I'll wait. Hopefully by the time the media price has gotten low enough to make it worth it I'll have found myself with the equipment to actually view them and some Scandinavian kid will have cracked the encryption.

I don't think so. I couldn't find a way to do this, even from a constructed URL that you could bookmark.

Link please?
I think that it was on Iconpaper quite recently, but I took of the logo that was on it as it annoyed me, so here it is (sorry if the designer sees this! :o)

Is this (http://img1.jurko.net/wall/paper/wallpaper_18650.jpg) it?
Patterns are consistent, minus the overall gradient spotlight. And it's insufficient to fit 1920x1200 screen...
Thanks by the way... ;)

Wow. I like that a lot.
Hopefully it will be priced reasonably.

i would try setting the ports to default instead of :8888. Then restart the server and try again.
If that doesn't work install xampp which is exactly like mamp and test your web pages using that.

I'm certain TJ MAXX ran this by their legal team...
If they are willing to sell the product at a $100 loss, that's their choice. You may not have a warranty, etc, because they aren't "authorized" by Apple as a price-controlled reseller, but that doesn't mean it's illegal for them to sell it.
I sold my iPad on craigslist at a loss. I'm not authorized to do that and Steve doesn't care.
Completely false. You most certainly have the right to sell your iPad on craigslist, thanks to the first sale doctrine.
I wonder if Costco was starting to get a few iPads from Apple when they decided that Apple wasn't playing fair, and just sold them at cost to Marshall's.

Among Samsung's patents that Apple allegedly infringed, there's this one:
U.S. Patent No. 6,292,179 on a "software keyboard system using trace of stylus on a touch screen and method for recognizing key code using the same"
Which Apple product uses a trace of stylus???
So doesn't the Nintendo DS infringe in this stylus patent as well??
