Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jun 28, 2007 5:00pm PDTSo I'll just assume you are reading this on your soon to be replaced cell phone as you wait in line for your iPhone. Pretty sure I'll go check one out to see what the fuss is tomorrow with a store right near me.

Just wanted to say that I started using Firefox about a week ago and I will never go back to IE. Give it a shot if you haven't yet, it's a superior browser.

Well in case you didn't notice, we are down to one week now, June 6th at 9pm. A bunch of people got CBS to listen unlike those other networks out there that didn't listen to their fans when they bitched to bring their shows back CBS is re-runing the shows over the summer and will be bringing the series back in the fall sometime.
Jericho was the best show that I watched last year, the first part of the season was meh but holy crap the second part of the season was just kick ass awesome. The story line is awesome, the characters are great, and even the filler episodes are great.
Yes it was better then Heroes, especially the season finale of Jericho there I said it

I have a pay as you go sony w810i on it's way in the post (on Orange) but I don't want to use the sim that comes with it, but instead continue using the sim that I have now which is for a different network (O2).
I wasn't sure if it was illegal but I found this so I guess it's not.

I don't mind the looks of the camaro, but what the shit, gauges have gotta go. Hopefully they will revise them into something sane for production, but hey, Ford didnt... so...
Why can't they just make kickass cars that are like scaled down corvettes and vipers instead of ugly retro monsters?

UGGGGGGGGGGGH. I forgot to post this last night after I tried it. Against my better judgement I went and got the #4 meal. Small size because I didn't need 1700 fucking calories. I took 2 bites and wanted to vomit. The bacon was really soggy too. And the grease was out of control. I can't believe they got rid of the Big Bacon Classic meal for this thing!
I don't think I have enough American pride in me to like this sandwich :(

I just called my local Blockbuster and not only do they not have DiRT, RE4 for the Wii and The Darkness, but they don't even have plans to order them. "Fucking Bullshit" I say. And I usually defend BB :(.

i went to the mall at noon and sat in line behind 5 people. nobody else showed up for about another hour or two. and nobody was hot. sucks. but anyway, waited 6 hours, skipped into the AT&T store (no longer has the cingular sign up, just AT&T), asked for the 8GB one, and then waited another 30 minutes because i was a new account and computers were crashing or simply not responding to creating new accounts. oh well, they gave me the phone and told me to activate it online. so that's what i'm doing now. waiting for the activation to finally go through, it's taking a bit of a while.
but the phone is sexy and i can't wait to start using it.

So I've been watching my calorie intake and I have put 36 miles on my recumbant bike so far, doing 2 sessions last week (when I got it) of 6 miles each, and three sessions this week of 8 miles each. I'm down to +- 225 now - and have a conservative 40 more pounds to go. Its +- 225 now because thats what my home scale says, and I probably started based on my home scale at around 235-237 (damn I need a digital scale).
I've cooked some pretty decent low calorie meals to feed me at night, including some chile, some balsamic vinegar spinach and chicken thing that was pretty good, and some chicken cacciatore. Also, turkey burgers are pretty damn good (just the patties with a little rice, and a nice salad). Breakfast is 2x some quaker granola bars (90 cal each, I eat two), lunch is either a subway wrap and baked lays or a wendys Salad. I drink only water or Crystal Light so I didn't have to give up soda, been off that stuff for almost 7 months now. I would be surprised if I've gone over 2000 calories a day (with the exception of last weekend, when I visited my folks and attended my nieces HS graduation party).
As far as the workout, its fairly unobtrusive (historically I suck at sticking to these things) but I've been either shacking, listening to Sirius, or watching TIVO'd shows while doing it and it doesn't bother me at all. I do the 8 miles in about 44 minutes.

Dr. Thompson peered inside his perfect offspring to gain insight into its methods, but what he found inside was baffling. The plucky chip was utilizing only thirty-seven of its one hundred logic gates, and most of them were arranged in a curious collection of feedback loops. Five individual logic cells were functionally disconnected from the rest– with no pathways that would allow them to influence the output– yet when the researcher disabled any one of them the chip lost its ability to discriminate the tones. Furthermore, the final program did not work reliably when it was loaded onto other FPGAs of the same type.
It seems that evolution had not merely selected the best code for the task, it had also advocated those programs which took advantage of the electromagnetic quirks of that specific microchip environment. The five separate logic cells were clearly crucial to the chip's operation, but they were interacting with the main circuitry through some unorthodox method– most likely via the subtle magnetic fields that are created when electrons flow through circuitry, an effect known as magnetic flux. There was also evidence that the circuit was not relying solely on the transistors' absolute ON and OFF positions like a typical chip; it was capitalizing upon analogue shades of gray along with the digital black and white.

If I had time/energy, I would have bought a couple for reselling, just for shits and giggles. Instead I will live vicariously through ebay.
We see there are several auctions ending in >24 hours with bids much higher than MSRP, the highest I saw was for $960!!!
