I thought they went on sale Friday?

I think some programs/utilities aren't listed in Add/Remove for some reason.
Not sure exactly, but I do remember encountering that problem (or feature?) before.
-
Is there somewhere in the world that doesn't love ESB? :)
But DS9 was a great show too :-D
-
Well I don't text much, never really used USENET and none my 'real life' friends use the Internet even a fraction as much as I do.
Maybe that's why I like them both :)

Honestly, I think Twitter is the better - purer maybe - microblogging platform. Jaiku is like microblogging meets chatroom/web-forum, and I don't always want or have the time to be following that.
And at other times the extra conversation and threads are exactly what I want.
Like I said, they're both good services. I see no reason to pick and choose.

@topgold "Both have their strengths and purposes."
I agree with that. They're similar services but it's not a one or the other choice for me. Conversations, discussions and debates go on at Jaiku with the threaded - and longer - replies, and that can be great sometimes.
On the other hand, the extra restrictions on Twitter make it a better place for a quick browse. It's easier to keep track of with minimal interaction (I tend to just leave the Firefox sidebar open in work, for instance).
Personally, I prefer Twitter. But I like them both just fine.

Interesting. More cloning clues : http://damienmulley.jaiku.com/presence/19564469 http://damienmulley.jaiku.com/presence/19815084
Curiouser and curiouser.

reviews 5 http://www.jaiku.com/ : Great site, but I think I'm reviewing 'http' now?
(seen as you mentioned website reviews)
Although I'm sure most people leave out the http:// these days anyway. New format sounds good apart from that. A bit more logical and clearer than a full stop.

Don't the Zen's require that nasty Creative syncing software?
Maybe they've made improvements but I had one of the first edition Zens and the software was absolutely required and absolutely woeful.

Sorry, that should be 'Cowon'.

Have a look at Cowen iAudio range. Supposedly very good players, with drag+drop file management (an important feature if you ask me.. can't stand the need for syncing software).
Not too sure if they do a video player.. haven't looked at them in a while.

Seems to be working fine here. I've got the latest post ('7 Days in the Valley') in Google Reader.
Subbed to http://ie.blognation.com/feed/

$ sudo apt-get install aqualung or http://aqualung.sourceforge.net/
For some reason none of my other players (VLC, Listen, Amarok) were giving me gapless MP3 playback.. a far more important feature than wikipedia, lyrics or integrated shop, imho.

Yeah, that's usually the reaction I get when I tell people. Not quite sure how I managed to avoid them.. and at this stage I sort of feel that I know so much about them anyway that's it's probably not worth the effort. I'm sure I'll catch it on the telly 'some day'.
-
I've never seen any Rocky films. A bit of the one with Dolph Lundgren maybe, but that's about it. I've been told I'm missing out.
-
Have you watched the Final Version yet? Is it much, or any, improvement over the already fantastic DC?

Did she do anything else other than simply name the teddy Mohammed?
Mohammed is just a name, surely? I know someone called Mohammed... the judge who gave her the sentence was called Mohammed. Why can't a teddybear be called Mohammed?
-
Yeah, I could do with a bit of that myself :)
Recommendations and Drag&Drop are nice additions all the same.

From page two : "In court, judge Mohammed Youssef listened to two accounts.."
Judge Mohammed?! That's a bit ironic isn't it? Who decides when it's an affront to Islam and when it's just a name?
Crazy carry on.
