Dear Every Site That Makes Me Manually Choose a Download Mirror: it's 2008, doesn't the technology exist to make that choice for me by now? |
@toadgee I've been clearing all Google cookies which is probably overkill but doesn't hurt anything. Has happened to me at least 3 times now |
Gmail keeps getting upset at my cookies and refusing to let me do anything until I delete them all. Urge to kill... rising. |
@cjwl If you ask me, there must be a thousand other things you could add to cocotron instead that would be more useful and less painful |
@gparker For fork/exec, that's only true if you're multithreaded. Although knowing for sure that you're not is frequently impossible |
@epicycle I'm sure I wouldn't know, but I doubt it matters for me, as the cable I disconnected was the TV cable |

@wisequark Release notes say "pthread operation support fixes", thought that might be it, but either it didn't "take" or it's something else |
NSOperationQueue still broken on 10.5.6. Just in case you were wondering |
Annoyed at Apple's AirTunes implementation for the 4923rd time |
Whoever came up with "to leave a voicemail press 1, to send a numeric page press 2" will be first against the wall when the revolution comes |
Theory: worldwide push for ubiquitous surveillance is actually prelude to alien takeover a la A Deepness In The Sky (Vernor Vinge) |
