They just haven't yet equated attentiveness with the aquisition of knowledge. Perhaps losing a decent paying job opportunity because they were too stupid or childish to sit still and listen for a couple of hours at a time may teach them a lesson. I doubt it will. It takes a certain amount of maturity t
He was actually okay with it. He said "oh, perhaps Bob was just too small". He asked what happened to him and I had to explain cannibalism....which he declared was "sick". Very healthy boy you have there.
I think I'll stick mainly to my own blog for a while. I don't have the stomach for the politics of commenting. I was attempting to rise through the ranks of top users. I finally managed to scrape and claw my way to the top 50 though I thought I'd never emerge f
OpenDoc "was initially created by Apple Computer in 1992". That darned Steve Jobs is so larcenous, he's not content to just steal from himself once, when he can do it twice with the very same act! Yeah, I caught the OpenDoc thing. Since I wasn't sure who came up with what first, I let it slide. It shou
That's incredibly sad. I've been enjoying the crab adventures so much I felt like going out and getting some myself. My sincerest condolences.
gene cheated No worries. I won't comment on these anymore. I don't know why I bothered.
Basically, the poll question woudl be "Do you believe Michael Moore's assertions to be essentially correct?" The preson who says yes is basically telling me that they're too dumb to comment on articles I write. I like it! "Click here to p

Apple was using a similar concept in the mid-80s. I hate it when people just throw things out there without supporting examples. David Meyer, if you come back and see this, could you elaborate on what you feel was the "similar conc
(OneClick and Facespan both did it in OS 9) OneClick goes back to at least 7.5.5 (that's how long I've been using it ). I wouldn't be surprised if FaceSpan goes back to an earlier incarnation of System 7 (though I can't say for sure). (I
where are the widgets in Classic?(Anonymous User) it is called the control strip. You really think that qualifies? I've been using the control strip since 7.5, but I've never seen it called a widget. And it does still require programming knowledge and a compiler to create. I don't think it quali
LMAO. That's better than "failure" and "waffles."
I only got half satisfaction when only one died. At least in the other I got full satisfaction I know how to make the next film a blockbuster. Kill Janeway and Riker. Everyone will pay to see that.
Hey, Kingbee, Yours is the first comment. Most of the people who read my blog do so through the forums, so I didn't expect too many to find it unless I told them. I've kept it quiet, though. I wanted to see who would stumble in and say something. I could read the comments left on the only other "limited audience" article I saw. I assume if you have access to the art
I wonder how that 14 year-old boy feels about The Man getting in the way of his action. Down with The Man! Always holding us back.... Grrrr.
OMG, I had the hottest English teacher. This one day she was crouched down at my desk trying to tell me something. I was just staring into her eyes, entranced. "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh." I have no idea what she was saying.... For Halloween she was Minney Mouse. Now Minney Mouse is hot enough, but... talk about hormone overload. Where's my Yearbook? I feel the need to scan in a picture and show everyone. I agree. Why didn't I get any of those co
I made the mistake of having my window open in my car on the way home yesterday- now I have a sun rash on my left arm. Ugh. My mom does that all the time. I keep telling her to wear sunscreen, but no.... She has one white arm and one brown arm. <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="abs
Whatever happened to those Summers that seemed to last forever? I remember those from my childhood and just can't seem to figure out the time control device that caused it Larry Block talked about that in one of his novels ("In the Mids
Most people just don't know what to make of it when something familiar is referred to in an unfamiliar way. It's like when Steve Allen would go out on the street and ask people "Do you masticate? Have you ever masticated?" It's also a good example of how benign information can be negatively slanted.
I have to say I despise Steve Jobs. I saw it as a black day when he snuck his way back into Apple under the guise of being the Messiah. (The only things missing were palm fronds and a donkey... well there was a jackass, but I digress...) When he killed the Macintosh OS my worst fears were confirmed. (That NeXT Unix-mongrel called OS X isn't Macintosh.) <T
Desk Accessories where in system 6 never mind system 9. Desk Accessories weren't exactly easy to make, though. And back then, Apple contracted third parties to make many of the ones included with the system, they didn't see something a third party had made and decide to steal it for themselves.
When someone develops for the "underdog" one tends to expect to be shown a little appreciation. Or, at the very least, not blatantly do things that ruin their business. Apple never supported their developers. Never. (I'm probably going to get harangued for that but I don't care.) I always felt i

I'm glad to see nursery rhymes still being taught. People need some common points of reference to latch onto. I never understood that song, what is the point? I can't say I'd find it to comforting either..... According to All Info About N
