Followup: MacBook Pro Kernel Panic with External Monitor
Some time ago I wrote about how my shiny new MacBookPro crashes whenever I plug in an external monitor. Turns out, Apple displays don’t make it crash.
I wrote a bug about it, and Apple responded well. They gave me a tool to use to record information about the monitor.
Interestingly, I no longer have privileges to read or append to the bug I originated, and neither does my friend at Apple. I finally wrote a new bug referencing the old one to try to get some info, but it’s been four months (and a few updates) without a fix.
Also, I’m on my third MBP since then, and it still crashes, so I’m fairly certain it wasn’t a hardware defect (but it could be a hardware design flaw).
A Season is 22 Fucking Episodes
NBC (USA, Sci Fi), your so-called “seasons” of The Dead Zone, The 4400 and Stargate (both series) are a joke. 10 episodes? 12? 13? Cheap bastards. Those are good shows, they deserve to run for a consecutive 22 (or more) episodes.
Advertising and ratings suck.
You know what else sucks? “Pro” wrestling. That crap doesn’t belong on the Sci Fi channel. Put it on the channels that the trailer trash who watch that shit watch. Fox, or QVC. Fuck you.
Tesla Motors
I’ve added a clickable ad for the Tesla Motors electric sports car. I’m not getting any money for doing this, but I believe very strongly in this thing. It’s incredibly fast, beautiful and has excellent range for a high-performance electric car. If I had $85,000 to spend, I’d get one in a heartbeat.
