It was painful to watch, at Apple’s big media event on Monday, Steve Jobs attempting to pawn off a retread music-recommendation system as some sort of great technological breakthrough. Yes, iTunes will now be able to suggest songs you might like based on what you and other like-eared users listen to.
Wow. That’s so 2002. And the company even has the gumption to call the feature Genius. A better name, if the experiences of early users are any guide, would have been Halfwit. But that’s nothing. As used herein an authorized garment is a garment sanctioned to be electronically paired with an authenticated (i.e., certified) sensor. Apple views tennis-shoe DRM as a way to head off what it sees as a potential plague of sneaker hacking.
It used to be cool to be an Apple fanboy. Playportal | Uniting Friendly Gamers. D n B Christian Rave at Kontraband. Audiotool. Synergy shares keyboard and mouse across multiple systems. This morning I read in the Code Project newsletter about Synergy, an open source software package that allows you to share a single keyboard and mouse between multiple workstations (each with their own monitor(s)). Since I regularly work on three different systems in any given day, and I often find myself using the wrong keyboard while staring at the screen and wondering why no text is showing up, this looked like just the thing for me. Synergy lets you configure one of the systems as a server (the one to which the keyboard and mouse that you want to share are connected), and any number of other systems as clients.
On the server, you describe where each screen is in relation to all of its neighbors. Then, as you move the mouse to the edge of one monitor that borders another, focus shifts to that monitor (and the system attached to it). Here’s the main configuration panel on Windows: This dialog is somewhat counter-intuitive. Once you have all of the relationships set up, press “Test”.

The taunts were directed at Jan Huokko, a stocky defenceman with the Leksand hockey club in Sweden’s second-tier professional hockey league, and a former player with AIK. Ahead of Tuesday’s match against Leksand, the website for AIK’s unofficial supporter group had instructed fans to bring dildos to the match to remind Huokko of the sex scandal which plagued him earlier in the year, according to the Expressen newspaper.
As one of Leksand’s top-scoring defencemen and a former member of Sweden's national team, Huokko is known for putting the biscuit in the basket. Huokko had recorded the clip on his mobile phone, and wasn’t surprised to find it spreading like wildfire on the internet after the phone was stolen. Lars G. Playback.me.

My friends Ed and Mel gave me The Last Night on Earth when I was at PAX. I had to ship home everything I got there (only two boxes, because I was restrained this year) and it arrived yesterday.
Nolan and I played it after dinner last night, and we both enjoyed it a lot. I think he'd have had more fun if he hadn't been plagued by disastrous rolls (a statistically improbable run of 1s and 2s) but we both liked it enough to play it again tonight. However, there were several times during the game that I could feel his frustration so much, it threatened to make the game not fun for both of us. So this morning, I thought of a way to help GeekDads and GeekMoms who encounter this with their own kids. Rule 17a is a house rule we invoke when we're learning a new game. But when your child has just rolled his third or fourth critical failure, and is wondering why he's even playing the game instead of . . . well, instead of doing anything else, all that goes out the window. Enter Rule 17b: Reinstall Windows and outfit your system with all freeware programs - review & download link.
I recently clean installed Windows XP on my laptop, and this meant that I had to re-install all the essential software that I use. It also presented an opportunity to write a posting about how you can outfit your computer with all the essential (and non-essential) software you need using strictly 100% freeware and/or open source titles.This posting could have been titled any of the following: Pre-installation: before reformatting my hard drive, I used the following programs: Installation: re-installed Windows XP on the re-formatted primary partition. Used the CD that came with my laptop to install all the proper drivers without hitch. If you have drivers issues try to find the drivers you need on the internet and, if not 100% successful, use the ones from the DriverMax backup (#4 above).
Post installation: now the fun begins.
