This is more of an esoteric kind of project, but I botched a friend's Xbox while trying to put XBMC on it, and I stumbled across this EEPROM reader in an altoid tin

@johnsmith1234: I absolutely love Gentoo. That said, I really hope you're being sarcastic.

@Phoshi: Maybe someone should start working on an article for Phoshi here... Top 5 Tools for the Newly Blinded.

Very cool. I didn't realize that OS X could utilize 3rd party color pickers on a system-wide basis. Very handy for us designers! Now I just have to get a Mac..

@cisengineer: I think someone just did! Has Season 3 come out yet. The site is taking forever to load on my end.

@TheFu:

Since there are cURL ports for Windows, would it be possible to use rainmeter to accomplish something similar? Maybe have a script that writes out the information to various text files, and have rainmeter display those?

@askj113: Verizon. I live out in the woods with no cable, no DSL, and too many trees for satellite, so my only hi-speed option is EvDO

@McWhammer: What about it doesn't make sense? Lots of applications are Windows only, especially freeware apps. I don't see too many Mac developers coding for Windows, so you shouldn't expect the converse to be different.

I actually discovered this program a couple of weeks ago. I like it because I have a 5GB a month bandwidth cap, so not having to re-download a movie is very helpful.

Why would this even be recommended if it's a non-free solution to a problem with tons of free solutions already out there?

@LegoAddict:

@Pablo Albornoz: Thanks. I've wanted something like that for the longest time, but I never bothered to look.

Is this going to conflict with my existing G: drive?

@davebarboza: Then he shouldn't complain about getting speeding tickets. Break the law all you want, but don't act like you're being singled out when you're a dumbass about it and get caught.

@kd420: I believe KDE 4.2 offers something similar.

@jeremiahbritt01: Torrent sites will often pull the .nfo out for the file description.

@Trent Russell: Which both take roughly 3x the resources of any other music player out there.

@resilient: I'm also in the minority of people that really like Vista. I honestly don't see what people hate so much about it. I think it stems from people upgrading from XP with computers that weren't really "Vista Ready". Still, Windows 7 seems much faster than Vista, UI improvements aside.

@mynamesafad: My hard drives also score 2.0, and are now the "bottle-neck" in my performance rating, whereas before my graphics card was. Oddly enough, my graphics card now has a better score than it did it Vista - 2.8 vs 3.3
