Our wings are not tired

I like having a second card just as a safety. I tend to shoot a huge quantity of pictures with my camera and have filled my 256 a couple of times (And mine is only a 2 Megapixel). It also means that I can be offloading pictures with one card while still shooting.

When I hit control click, and hit "download linked file as..." it downloaded the page, not the file.

Then I think downloading Firefox is the best bet. That's what I usually do when I run into some Javascript on a web page that doesn't work with Safari.

Sigh. Damn, that's lame. Apple! Fix your browser, dangit!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Not a matter of fixing so much as updating.

I think there's a new one with Tiger, I don't know if it'll be backrolled to OS X 10.3.x or not.

No clues about my Azureus problem?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It may be the same problem that Erin and I had. That message did pop up for me before the upgrade and the cessation of download.

Maybe the MPAA hacked 'em.

Just tried out this free cyber cafe software. Very cool. [link]

have we talked about this?

29 March 2005 - Toshiba has today announced a new lithium ion battery, which, it claims, can recharge 80% of the battery's energy capacity in just one minute, 60 times faster than the other lithium ion cells. It takes an unspecified 'few' more minutes for a complete recharge. The battery has a long life cycle, losing only 1% of its capacity after 1,000 cycles of discharging and recharging. Due to be launched next year, it will initially be used to power hybrid electric vehicles but could be used for smaller devices in future, such as mobile phones and digital cameras. >[link]

No - and while I love what it will do for computer battery life, I'm afraid I'm really excited about what it will do for electric cars. Cause if you you can have a battery that only loses 1% of capicity per 1,000 discharge cycles it might last 10,000 cycles. (A battery is considered usable so long as it has 90% or above capability.) And if you had batteries that lasted 10,000 cycles that would be the life of the car - which brings down total cost of ownership of electric vehicles to something comparable to normal cars.

move out and draw fire

And less messy than that new tech the Japanese have invented that runs on blood.
