Atlantis found again

The Register is reporting that Atlantis has been found. Whee! Again. Like so many times before. :) But, I hope they go in and find interesting stuff there, be it in Spain or not. Spain or France actually make more sense than the Antarctica theory. :)

Legal Torrents

I'm sure you already know BitTorrent, but I didn't know about Legal Torrents until today where music can be downloaded and distributed for free legally. :) Great place.

Panther hang

My Mac locked up! While this may not be surprising, it's worth noting as my Mac virtually never hangs. Had the look and feel of a filesystem hang. The userinterface updated nicely, all network ports accepted connections, but the windowsmanager wouldn't respond to any clicks, just moving the mouse and the ports never presented anything much, and it all happened upon multiple known writes. Anyways, only lost data is a save of a mail that had been sent before the hang. :)

Food culture

I'm shocked! I read Fast Food Nation about two years ago and didn't like it much because as I was reading mainly science at the time, its "proofs" didn't hold one bit and it was through-and-through pop. Bo-ring. Anyways, reading my regular blogs, this guy concluded he eats fast-food 3-4 times a week. I knew there were differences in european and american eating culture, but is this really representative? Should I eat a fast-food menu once every two or three weeks, I'd find that really depressing, and the occational saussage I eat when too busy when I'm in Oslo is not a good thing. It's not filling like regular food is. Hope this is just one standing out, but with the movie Supersize me he was referring to and Fast Food Nation and countless american shows, I'm beginning to wonder
