    Steve Jobs wanted Apple's browser Safari called "Freedom"

    fox: a carnivorous mammal of the dog family with a pointed muzzle and bushy tail, proverbial for its cunning cunning = clever fire = fervent or passionate emotion or enthusiasm, stimulate or excite, fast - as in the way fire spreads

    The Perpetual Guitar Thread

    This reminds me of when Phil Hendrie talked about rock myths. Ie, Stevie Nicks having an assistant blow coke up her ass with a straw, Marilyn Manson smoking human bones to get high, Frank Zappa taking a dump on stage and eating it, etc... What about guitar and guitar tech myths? Bolt on necks...

    The Perpetual Guitar Thread

    Zero difference. And this was with the Rock Band 3 Squire - less than a stellar guitar. I keep my ESP on a stand because it's next to the amp and convenient but would bet it could hang for years and not be a problem. The real problem is playing with straps because what can happen is the weight...

    The Perpetual Guitar Thread

    Not buying the sustain argument. At those tensions the mass of the materials doesn't matter as it wouldn't change the decay in energy in a tense string fixed at two points (although you could maybe argue a metal nut would lose less energy than bone or plastic) anymore than fat fingers versus a...

    Dating sites help you find love by browsing reddit, watching lolcats

    Yeah, when you're as beautiful as you are Casey, you don't have to deal with the rigmarole of dating.

    Why the 8GB Wii U can only store 3GB of downloaded games and DLC

    The basic system is an abortion as well as a stupid idea.

    The Perpetual Guitar Thread

    Speaking of ruts (sort of). Tried playing with a friend who kind of bummed me out a bit. He was basically saying learning covers is a complete waste of time and if you don't write all your own stuff all the time you'll lose interest. Although what he did sounded like scale wanking. At one year...

    I feel bad about reporting my neighbor to the rental management company

    Find a good trainer. My 10lb dachshund loves a neighborhood 100+lb Akita. The Huskies don't sound vicious, more like mischievous, and both owners would benefit from training. Although most people are too "busy" "arrogant" "cheap" "white-trashy", etc to spend the money and time for training. Dogs...

    Is milk bad for you?

    Lactose is more or less ok. Fructose made in a lab is bad. Fructose without fiber is bad. Glucose is the solution to all of life's problems in comparison.

    Op/ed: If Microsoft adopt's Apple's app strategy, it's better to follow OS X than iOS

    Except for Apple, the iPad is an iPad, and Mac OS X is Mac OS X. Win 8 seems to be trying to mash the two together.

    Some people have no idea how clueless they are.

    Isn't that par around here? Oh, and posting gifs in a circle jerk of trying to appear "funny".

    27" Cinema Display w/Mini Display Port Problem

    Turns out it's a common problem of the faceplate not aligning with just the TB ports. Everything looks fine but a little piece is overhanging the port. It took a magnifying glass to be able to see it. Easy to bend it up and snip it off.

    27" Cinema Display w/Mini Display Port Problem

    :) I've been with Apple so long I just suspect them first. The board was picked since Gigabyte is supposedly hackintosh friendly, and it is, and TB wasn't a must but being able to use an ACD 27 was the tipping point even if it's not the best Gigabyte board. Maybe some of the male/female...

    27" Cinema Display w/Mini Display Port Problem

    Supposedly you can connect MDP to a thunderbolt port but it doesn't fit. The port is on a gigabyte Z77 something or other board. Is Apple back up to their old tricks? As in maybe the port is slightly different on a Mac. Seem to remember running into something like that with DVI.

    How Do I Hang This Bitch?

    That's a part of the resentment. I have to punch in/out. Exempt employees come and go as they please. Get there at 9:45? No prob. Leave at 3? No prob. I have to explain every little thing.

    How Do I Hang This Bitch?

    Mostly was wondering if talking to HR or the admin would do any good. Probably not. It's a good job and it's easy to feel sorry for someone who has nothing else and a known reputation for being petty to the point where you'll dance on your ancestor's grave rather than have to hear any shit.

    How Do I Hang This Bitch?

    Los Angeles traffic where people see someone on the side of the road and jerk themselves off for 20 minutes getting their eye full.
