It took about thirty seconds in the bar before some friends and I (I think I was first, thankyouverymuch) noticed the scene captured in the photo above.
This hand did not move, not even wiggle, for the forty five minutes we were watching, until it was removed before the "couple" exited. The guy didn't even wash his hand afterward.
Did I mention that this was at 6:45pm?
Needless to say, there are about 20 camera phones with this picture, and the gentleman received a standing ovation upon his departure. Apparently he didn't understand that having your back to a bar full of drunks with your hand down a girl's pants could be considered chumming.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
Insanely, less than three months after a majorish (in terms of screen resolution) upgrade to the PowerBook, usually a sign that not much is going to happen for a while, Apple drops this.
Not only do they drop this, but they've annihilated any foregoing utility of the PowerBook (in a display of remarkable hubris, these are still sold on the Apple site and promoted as "all-out performance") I bought right after the last announcement1. I've complained often about the performance penalty that PowerBook users suffer -- we pay as much as the users of the Quad-G5 for our machines (and yes, the information is on the table), but we get a fraction of the performance.
People read on the surface that USB 2.0 is capable of 480 hoobajits per frabbit, which is higher than the 400 hoobafrabs regular old Firewire (or IEEE 1394) can do. As if! There are lots of technical reasons why 480 is not necessarily > 400, and none of those is "because I went to school in Kansas."
I have a friend who wants a reasonably priced portable hard drive to store music from his live performances, the rights to which he clearly owns or at least has unfettered rights to, and in no way includes media that would be criminal or just very, very naughty to distribute. During the holiday season, he'd like to throw this storage mechanism in his bag, visit his parents, and let them have free access to his performances. Parents are proud, and will sit through hours of their bass-playing son interminably thumping a root for nineteen hours on end, and believe me, Goose can thump a root for a long time.
WHY MONO IS NOT YET READY FOR MY BALLS
Submitted by reeses on Thu, 2005-12-01 14:55. | .net | balls | mono | programmingI've been working with .NET lately, first with JScript .NET, and now with C#. I'm writing a simple, simple application that does some stuff, and can run either on the command line, or via some Windows scheduling mechanism. I.e., either as a service or using Windows Scheduler.
There's this great property called System.Environment.UserInteractive in .NET that tells you if the application was executed interactively. This is a great opportunity to decide where to dump the output of your application. If it's true, spew to System.Console. If it's false, write to a file or, in the case of Windows, to the beautiful, beautiful Event Log, available via System.Diagnostics.EventLog, even -- no work necessary!
