it might be the video driver. My Dell stopped working all of the sudden and I could no longer hook my laptop up to the tv. I googled this issue once upon a time, and I thought there might be a driver problem.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

apparently a lot of iPhone app developers are pissed at us. Like this guy, who complains, "Trying to communicate with Apple is like talking to a brick wall," and says he has started to think he can't really make a business writing apps for iPhone. My response? Tough noogies, you whiny bitch. Go write for the Palm Pre, with their huge installed base. Or go do Android, and you can create a different version of your app for every different piece of hardware that Android runs on. Or hey, go do Windows Mobile. No, seriously. Let us know how that works out for you. As for the rest of you? Back to work, fuckers. Daddy needs to get paid.

If anything, we hate those morons at AT&T more than you do. Do you have any idea how awful it is to be yoked to a pack of bozos like that? Truth is, nobody around here runs their iPhone on AT&T. Most of us are on Verizon -- we're doing a trial before the official announcement, which should come later this year or early next. Oops. Did I just say that out loud? In case you're wondering what it's like on Verizon -- it's spectacular.

bonny, what I've heard is that Verizon has the best coverage for the DC area.

Yes, Verizon has the best coverage (I've had Verizon, Sprint and AT&T), but if you have an iPhone, you can only have AT&T.

Right. Though I don't love Verizon, they are the best game in town...but not for the spanking new iPhone. Still haven't figured out what to do.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Only $900!
That's $3.52/Gb.
Hmm, about $1 more per Gb than a solid state drive, in a convenient little package.
It'd make one hell of a tiny server with that wall plug wireless dongle.

Hey. New board.
I just bought a 1 TB external hard drive and plugged it into my Airport Extreme Base Station with 2 partitions (350 GB of HFS+ for laptop Time Machine backups and 600 GB of FAT32 for Improbable Girl's backups and media server duties for when I get my LG BD390 in sometime later this year).
Time Machine is working beautifully.
What do you recommend for simple backup solutions on Windows? Ideally, it would back up everything incrementally, similar to Time Machine, since there's plenty of space.
