Alas, I already did that.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Theo, yes - if you delete it, it'll come back when you sync again.

long shot question here. My old, pre-color iPod click wheel (I think 4th gen, last one before color came out) 40 GB iPod. Well. It's center button doesn't seem to depress anymore. Or maybe its stuck in the depressed mode. Aside from pharmaceuticals that the iPod can't ingest, any suggestions? Or should I take it to the genius bar to hear them say "oh, you should just upgrade".

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I use Memeo's AutoBackup for Windows on my Linkstation. I think it's pretty good, although it does have the one weird bit where if you delete a file, it will assume you want it deleted off the backup, too. Buh?
Other than that, it's worked well and we have had to use it to restore, and it was successful.

Hey. New board.
Synctoy worked great with the network drive formatted as HFS+. Not so much when it was FAT32. If ever we need to access the data directly from the PC that will be annoying, but it works so whatever.

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

Hey Mr. Jobs what's the deal with lack of XOR drawing mode in OS X? My selection rendering code is going to have to have special code just for OS X.

Hey. New board.
How Amazon's remote deletion of e-books from the Kindle paves the way for book-banning's digital future.
That article is interesting and makes some good points, but I can't agree with this:
The anonymous underground movements that have long sustained banned works will be a lot harder to keep up in the world of the Kindle and the iPhone.I'd say the exact opposite is true. I could name 15 places to download books that are currently unavailable for the kindle, all of which could easily serve as such underground groups for unpublishable books. I'd have no idea where to get such things outside of the Internet world. The Internet makes it infinitely easier to spread unapproved art - just look at the rise of fanfic.
The reason Amazon has gotten in trouble, in fact, is because they opened their store to self publishers, I increasing the publishability of art, but didn't do a very good job confirming the copyrights of the self- published works. My worry is that the fallout from this issues will make the self publishing venture a thing of the past, removing a very exciting component of the platform.
