Apr 14th 2011 1:57AM (Gadling)I believe the number was less than 2000 women who wear a face covering dress. So this law affects a very small number of people. But there are already talks about how it will interfere with festivals and and costume parties.

Jan 13th 2011 7:27AM (TUAW.com)I've got 2 Dell LCDs and the built-in profile was wildly off. Playing with the sliders didn't rectify the situation and the fact that there were 2 and each slightly off just made it more noticable. 30 minutes with a borrowed colorimeter sorted them both out.
Some things to point out. CCFLs need at least 30 minutes to warm up the phosphors properly. And recalibrating should be done every few months, but its not necessary, the only thing that changes is the brightness. LED-backlights are good for an incredibly long time. And they rarely change in brightness. They haven't been fully tested because they are still fairly new but LEDs are rated for 20 years under normal usage. And the brightness drops off exponentially so after 10 years it should be half as bright. Chances are you'll replace the entire unit before the LED even looses 25% of its output.
So for those that want to do it weekly you are free to do so, but 1/year is plenty for a lot of people.

Dec 22nd 2010 8:42AM (TUAW.com)Instead of putting the stream files into the main web folder you can put it into your user /Sites folder and therefore not have to escalate privileges.
So change /Library/WebServer/Documents/stream to ~{myaccount}/Sites/stream
Then the URL would be http://servername.local/~{myaccount}/stream/prog_index.m3u8

Federal judge will decide on your right to relax, not airlines

Acting like an adult in this instance would be way too difficult.
