GC, I just read your tag as "Jesus had 2 cats."
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm considering getting the 3G and just not getting a contract right away. The flexibility of having it available when I want it but not being locked in is pretty sweet.

I ended up preordering the non 3G 64 GB model.
Now I'm just waiting until April. Of course I will be out of town the day it delivers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a PHP app that outputs an RSS feed. When I have it with the extension .rss and use
t Files index.rss
ForceType php5-cgi
t /Files
to override it and run as PHP, I get one result (RSS feeds for one subdomain).
When I name the same file .rss.php I get RSS feeds for multiple sites.
Any ideas what I should be even looking at to troubleshoot this? All I can think is that the ForceType is doing something slightly wacky.

iPad question for the Hive Mind:
Any ideas on whether it's going to be absolutely required to have OS 10.5.blah? I'm currently running 10.4.something, and really don't want to spend nearly $200 to upgrade it if I don't have to, since the only way I see to get Leopard (in the online Apple Store) is also bundled with iLife and iWork, which I have NO use for.
What I'm wondering is if I'm OK in my assumption that the iPad is kind of an oversized iPod Touch with internet access. I mostly want to use it for internet and email, and have no big desire to sync with my Mac Mini (as long as I can get files onto the iPad via internet/email, though obviously I'd like to be able to plug a thumb drive into it). I don't use an iPod, though, so I don't know if not syncing is even possible. And maybe I'm misunderstanding the functionality of the dock-USB cable....
(I just want a Mac netbook! wahhh!)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
- Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
- Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
- iTunes 9.0 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
- iTunes Store account
- Internet access

My guess is that you will be stuck upgrading to the minimum of 10.5.8. Typically what Apple has to do with new devices is make adjustments to Quicktime and iTunes in order to support the new store needed for the device. These will be tied to a minimum requirement of OS.

Ooh. That's something for me to keep in mind too, then....though I plan on waiting a year or so for an iPad, and by that point my Powerbook will be....four and a half years old? So...hmm. Uh oh.

Hey. New board.
Una, you should be able to find Snow Leopard (10.6) without iWork/iLife somewhere. I got it back when it came out, so I know it exists.
Is there any reason you don't want to upgrade all the way to Snow Leopard?
