No, it's just a general desire to sleep, eat, and curl up on the couch. So... no different than my normal life, except I could see in the dark. That would be cool.

My MBP 2.4 has an annoying tendency to lock up whenever it's been in display-sleep for an extended period of time. I press a key, or swipe on the trackpad, and the spinny-wait cursor appears but the screensaver never displays the password dialog. Sometimes I can shut the lid and open it again to put...

-Has had Marital affairs So? Big deal. This should not even be public knowledge (well, Guiliani went out of his way to make it public knowledge, but it still should factor absolutely 0% in an electoral decision) -Pro gay rights Sort of, kind of... let's just say his current explanation is along the...

I'm still laughing at the 4:3 "HDTV". Either some salesman suckered you or it's like 10 years old. HDTV maintains progressive and interlaced standards in both aspect ratios. There was a nifty chart somewhere (Wikipedia?) that showed the three major video aspect ratios (NTSC, VGA, and Wide...

(And you guys thought I never even played Descent! :P) Just because Mobius isn't posting anymore doesn't mean you can cut back on the grammar. 'Thought' is the past tense. What it should be is 'think'. The implied meaning was that I actuall--- wait. http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/200...

Now, iirc from D3, there was no actually killing it, since it would just fly back into your ship when it got too damaged. You could actually kill it with the MD if you got it stuck against the ceiling dome. I spent a few minutes trying to find the video, but couldn't. I remember it though. The game...

I can't wait for my provider to show all channels in HD. Honestly, everyone should start filming in HD. Speaking from experience (honestly), upgrading to HD isn't just a matter of shooting in HD. It means you have to upgrade EVERYTHING, from your cameras to your editing environment to your entire c...

Can we reproduce water with technology? Can we invent something that freezes like water, flows like water, evaporates like water, etc.? Probably not, not without just using water. This is because the properties of water that we want to emulate are too fundamental to be emulated with technology. If ...

You can change your keyboard layout in Windows to use the Spanish layout. If you have a Mac, Opt+N produces a combining tilde which can be composed with n, o, or a; Opt+E produces a combining accent which can be composed with any vowel.

If you really want to do it right, I can recommend two ways: 1) Ubuntu or Debian. Debian is incredibly stable, and Ubuntu (which is based on Debian) is a bit more organized in terms of dependencies and included drivers. If you decide to go with Ubuntu (my choice for the installation environment alon...

Having done heavy volume before (Archdiocese of Brooklyn), I know RAM fails. But in my own experience, and I'm sure yours as well, as you mention it, other parts are much more likely to fail. Caps were a huge problem for a long time, blowing out mobos and video cards left and right. I never said tha...

Ferno: they don't show all the techs, and half the ones they do show give a good first-impression diagnosis. There's no indication at all of any amount of time spent on any individual machine.

That video sucks. It's scaremongering, really. I understand that suggesting you buy a new computer is completely out of line, but obviously they were working on a new Dell machine. Dell's BIOS does NOT emit POST status beeps. Therefore, it's impossible to diagnose between motherboard failure, RAM fa...

The big telecom companies should only be concerned with providing services, not regulating the content. I hope people are going to wake up and get tired of corporate control creeping into their lives. :x To be fair, that was Verizon Wireless (which is a separate business from Verizon). The distinct...

Make sure you've deleted the episodes' tracks from iTunes. It doesn't monitor the filesystem for changes, and even if you try to play a missing track, will not remove it from the library automatically; you have to do it yourself.

Just got back from a 3 day trip in London today... if you've never been there, everything you've heard about the massive Arab population is 100% true. But London is extremely diverse (much more so than New York was when I left, or Baltimore is now), so it's a bit interesting regardless of which ethn...

If you're using an OEM version of the XP CD, you have to use an OEM key.

There are a number of special SKUs for individual manufacturers, preventing you from using a keygen made for corporate installs on a Dell-bundled XP install CD, for example.

I believe Apple displays are Sony, so that's what I'm using. I used to use two 4:3 Dells, which were Philips. Color contrast was pretty bad, even after gamma adjustment. The 16:10 ones in our CS lab are also Dell, but if I recall correctly they're the same Sony panels as Apple uses. Much, much bette...
