Then there would be almost NOTHING in this NG at the moment. If you 
don't wish to participate in the political stuff, just ignore it.

Don't look at me to try to persuade them... Having just come back from a 
spectacular defeat in the Snit vs. Steve challenge, I don't think I 
could even consider getting involved in the Kerry vs. Bush crowd.

I presume you mean the Kerry/Bush people? 
If so, I doubt I'll be seeing anything much due to the blinding 
headaches presaging my impending cerebral aneurism. ;)

I have no problems with simply blocking them, generally killing anything 
crossposted from alt.spacebastards, nothing of value from them during 
the time I was monitoring them.

Relax and give it time.  Eventually the noise will go away.
Until the day after the elections... then brace yourself for more noise. 
  Mostly it'll be shrieks.

I have to take issue with this statement; I feel that we have not 
reached anything approaching the zenith of computing. Certainly the Mac 
is better than the PC, it almost goes without saying, and I wouldn't 
have mentioned it except that this is CSMA, but there are areas where 
the experience is lacking...

For example, I remember a post by the Mayor a short while ago that 
clearly exposed the iPod's lack of perfect communion with its owner. Can 
you believe that it would occasionally not play exactly the right song 
for the occasion? How did that slip by QA?

For that matter, I notice that sometimes I have to wait a second or two 
when I'm doing a complex process. Why the hell didn't my Mac schedule 
these processes to be done sometime last night, anticipating that I 
would need to do them? 

I realize that I'm doing nothing but providing fodder for the Wintrolls 
by exposing the shortcomings of the Mac, but This Must Be Addressed!

Then please excuse my hyperbolic ramblings.


It should know not only what song to play and when, but it should also 
know what songs to download and what songs are best left on the 
computer. That it cannot do these things is a great failure on Apple's 
part. :-( 


That's certainly inexcusable. Everybody knows that Windows will do this. 
Of course, when Windows does it, there is the barest chance that it 
won't be the complex process you will want when the time comes, but 
there is always room for improvement, right?


Agreed! And who better to do so than "El Alcalde de nada", Edlost, Pratt 
and Whiney? Right?

A simple MT-NewsWatcher kill filter works wonders:

Kill if 'subject' matches the regular expression (Bush|Dole|Kerry)

  Ya. Media player has been able to play any number of videos at once.
limited by CPU speed and memory availability.

  Hmmm Lets see how video playback alters my system performance.

OK I started 4 versions of  the same video playing.  Total CPU utilization
under Windows, 4%

Video Codec used DiviX-4 Audio Codec Mpeg1.

Ahahahahahahah  I guess that means I could playback two dozen video's at
once.

Ahahahahahaahahah   Stupid, Dung Eating LinTurdz....



4.BB has a great way to moderate this NG from Snit's crap! (Snit-free thread request)

Simply don't respond to Snit in any thread that has  a "Snit-free thread 
request" message in the title. If others agree to do it and stick to it, 
I'll oblige on a per  thread basis. This is essentially all I asked for 
2 years ago... now that someone else is calling for it, perhaps it will 
be reconsidered and given a chance. Trolling is one thing... but Snit is 
like a cancer.

5.Hard drive going going gone?

Hi y'all.  I have an ibook dual USB circa 2001.

Recently, it tend to make relatively loud click sound from the hard 
drive area, occassionally cause the machine to hang/freeze.

Any one experience similar symptoms?

Is this a sign of an impending death of the hard drive, or is it 
something else?  I'm thinking of upgrading the drive, but considering 
its age, I'd hate to spend the money and find out that the problem is 
elsewhere.

Thanks,

Tho
