no known name: Maybe in crazy land where the laws of physics don't apply. But here on earth, in day to day traveling, rear wheel is much tougher to control in the snow than front wheel.
I'm having a lot of fun with making DesktopX objects. Tonight I made a couple of neat ones. I made an animated wallpaper that has snow falling on it. If you already have DesktopX installed you can get that here . It was amazingly easy to create. I just made one
Great article!
What is it with car manufacturers and REAR-wheel drive? What is particularly ironic about this is that the "Big 3" are located in Detroit Michigan. Which is roughly where I live. They must drive special, magical roads that I don't have access to. Maybe they're Stone-Cutters or something because the roads I drive on have snow on them quite a bit during the year which makes a rear-wheel drive car impractical. And yet...the cool cars I'm interested in are rear-wheel d
I don't consider open source equal but I do agree it has its strengths .

You are taking one person and trying to generalize all the traits of that one person for an entire "class" of people? I'm a geek and I have nothing in common with Richard Stallman. If anything, I am his polar opposite in almost every way. I despise open source, I'm politically conservative, have no interest in music or dance. But I am a geek most definitely. How do you define success? How do you know Stallman isn't successful? But overall, I find it appalling that yo
There are basically two types of bloggers. And JoeUser.com is aimed at supporting both of them. Web Diarists The first type of blogger is the web diarist. This is a person who wants to be able to share his or her thoughts about their lives in a way that is recorded for the long haul. My wife fits more into this category. Years from now, she wants to be able to look back and be able to show that she did indeed think about things and do things besides change diapers

If you have DesktopX you can now make use of this cool JoeUser reader object. Just sits on your desktop, updates every 10 minutes with the latest main pages blog entries. Get it here .
Is it me or is the Internet overall very slow today?
I guess the best way to put it is like this: What advantages MacOS may have, they are not compelling enough to change the status quo. Therefore, MacOS will never be more than a niche player.
1) Okay, let me give you an example of where I got bitten by the lack of freeware just this week. Can you name a program that will record what is happening on the screen and save it to a .avi or .mov or whatever? I want to be able to demonstrate Mac stuff as a video. On Windows there are programs that do this such as CamStudio that are free. 2) Swtiching to a fullscreen X11 desktop isn't the same thing as being able to customize Aqua. Let me give you an example - some of the use of se
I'm going to write something more in depth once I get a better feel for Panther (10.3). I like my Mac. It's a fine machine. But Macs, since going to OS X (including 10.3) feel much more sluggish. I also find them very limited in how much you can change them in how they work. If Apple hasn't thought of it, you're not likely to be able to find a tool, freeware or otherwise, that will let you change its behavior. I also find the lack of freeware for it to be a major dow
Today I found another really cool use for IconDeveloper. I am in the process of writing up documentation for Object Desktop. As any technical writer will tell you, the useage of icons in a technical document to highlight key points is critical to creating clearly understood directions. But how to do that? Microsoft
It's only part of Object Desktop presently which is $49.95 but comes with a ton of cool programs.
Awww. Cute! :)
Both. ;)
This is why Bush keeps winning. People who are left of center despise him so much that they believe everyone must think like they do. Dixie Chicks got what they deserve.They're entertainers, not political commentators. Abusing their fame to send out a stupid political message, overseas at that, was very tacky.
I don't think that's fair. Liberals are not bad. They want people to be able to do things for themselves but recognize that not all people are able to do so and believe that as a society we have an obligation to help our fellow man. Where they get off track, in my opinion, is the cynical view that "Well people don't do teh right thing on their own so we'll have the government make them do the right thing." They don't have faith (pardon the pun) in charities and of private citizens work
Welcome to my world. ;)
MadIce writes: I agree with your "True progress, in my opinion, is a melding of ethics and a realistic understanding of human nature." But isn't that a liberal point of view? It would allow you to make a progressive decision. Not necessarily. Each side's ideologues believe they have a lock on both. Communism failed because it didn't take into account human nature (which led to cascading inefficiency that ultimate
I think if you polled the United States on the issue of slavery even back at its founding the majority of Americans would have agreed it wasn't a good thing. But you highlight a good point in particular -- liberals see conservative views much like views on slavery. That they, the high minded, more sophisticated, more enlightened left must help guide their less sophisticated, gun toting, anti-abortion red neck conservatives into the light and educate them as to how to be civilized.
scratch: Exactly. The issue isn't whether one agrees with those issues or not. My own views are not purely conservative by a long shot. The point is that whether I or you (or even Abe) agrees with these issues or not, they are held by a substantial percentage of the American public. The American VOTING public (whether literlaly or in terms of viewership). Pretending that they don't exist merely opens the door for a politician or news network to take those disaffected voters/vi
You'll find that most people get "tissy" when asked to cite sources on things that are pretty well known statistical facts. And what's worse your polls don't even contradict mine. Do you even read what you post? Pro-life/pro-choice split evenly. You listed zero national polls on the death penalty. I provided a national poll from a respectable website that is in line with what has been reported countless times on CNN, ABC, NBC, etc. If we were having a debate on diets of early man, wou
