My country club posts their tee times as three .txt files that are included between <pre> tags. The process has been: 1) edit saturday.txt (or sunday, or holiday), 2) upload via FTP.
This year they'd like to do the tee times in Excel. Clearly they can "save as" a .txt file, but I was wondering if [...]

Click this link and iTunes should show you a free episode of The Apprentice. Add it to your cart and the price mysteriously becomes $1.99.
What's up with that? Is it free or not?

I wish gmail had a progress bar. I'm sending a 160 MB .zip file to someone and I have no idea how much longer I have to wait.

I still think a virtual PC - one that lets you switch back and forth and share data amongst two operating systems - is the best way to go. But for now, Apple lets you install and boot Windows XP on your Mac with Boot Camp.
BTW, what happens if a nasty virus on the PC [...]

I expected one of the characters in the last frame of this comic to say "Now what?"

When we had the whole "Freedom Fries" bullshit, I remained neutral. I'd been to France, after all, and I speak French. I wouldn't say I like French people, but I really had nothing against them. Plus, Sophie Marceau is French…
But the whole iTunes thing is summed up nicely by John Gruber in his linked list [...]

Since when? Emphasis added, but the quote comes right from this page:
Of course, Windows Vista is still Windows, and that means you can be far more productive with Vista than is possible with OS X, especially if you're a heavy keyboard user like me. Virtually all of the familiar Windows keyboard shortcuts work just fine [...]

Yes, the first thing I thought of was the Fifth Element. Unfortunately, "multipass!" is Milla Jovovich's line, not Chris Tucker's. That's not all Ken Fisher gets wrong in his take on iTunes' new payment option. Specifically, the Multi-Pass is not a subscription, but simply a discount for volume purchases. Subscriptions end. Your rights to items [...]

Yes, GMail, that's exactly what I want to see: a few hundred different links to sites that will show me how to cook actual spam while deleting the spam in my Spam folder. Uh huh. You read my mind.

P.S. Sure wish there was a way to just empty my entire spam folder in one click. [...]

You too can download the free pilot episode (and some other promo stuff) of NBC's new show Conviction. While I don't think I am going to watch the show, it's nice to have a free episode, and I think this is a great way to promote the show. After all, I'd never heard of it [...]

Scott Stevenson writes about it here, and I'm not going to give Dvorak the pleasure of another incoming link. The title says it all, and I also don't want to give Dvorak the pleasure of knowing I've wasted any more than this brief slice of time thinking about him.
P.S. Dvorak is just an attention whore. [...]

This, while being cool and helpful, is also kinda creepy. Isn't it? I mean, just look at this Windows window inside a Mac window. It goes beyond even Virtual PC creepiness.
Regardless, very cool of wisc.edu. I almost typed "misc.edu." That'd be a fun domain name…

So you can win some things if you download the billionth song.
Great. I can't even add some items to my shopping cart. I get an error 502. I owe someone an iTMS gift certificate and I can't even access the proper "page" to buy a gift certificate, nor can I add songs to my cart.
You [...]

I don't know what all of the fuss is about - it still looks hideous. Absolutely hideous.
But so long as it renders pages properly, I couldn't care less how it looks because at least I don't have to use it.

I've been getting a lot of ICQ spam lately. And it's not even spam: it's a bunch of German asking "hello" and "how are you" and so forth. No links - just mindless German babble. Worse yet, Adium can't seem to block the spammers. WTF?
