Depends - I'm lucky in that I love what I do (most days)... if I didn't, there's no *WAY* I'd work this hard or this much. I'm a lazy bastard by nature.

I can't see running MacOS X with a wand remote (done it - you can get a driver for the Wii Remote and use it on your Mac - it is a bit painful), but it would make a fantastic Front Row/Apple TV interface device, wouldn't it?

Naw, it'll end up in my study, where old computers go to die. (Apple //gs, NeXTstation, B/W G3, G4 Cube... and counting...)

My guesses are... 1) Programming, specifically older-style C and Fortran (or functional programming, actually) grew out of mathematical constructs. It looks like, reads like, and expresses, explicit algorithms. Something most mathematicians are…

It's not that they have new widget A, it's that they have new widget A, slightly different widget A1, another slightly different widget A', another one that just looks different but acts the same in A*, etc. If you're going to produce a new widge…

Huh? No.... you're confusing two completely different routes there. Drag the photos into iPhoto, make a slideshow. OR Use Automator to drive **Keynote**.
-
IIRC, that means it has kept every penny of value, but hasn't gone up either.
-
For slideshows, use iPhoto. The .pps slideshows are PowerPoint only, and they're f*cking retarded. All it is is a bundle of absolutely bog-standard image files wrapped in a proprietary format. Bleah. And as for your images -> PPT... …
