I think the batteries died in our tech a long time ago. We need to replace it with a new model. Maybe then we could take in a show.

*charges up Jason's gear* I understand, my friend. It was a good show, a fringe festival style thing. Two actors, clowns -but in a good way.

Interestingly enough, I saw the drawing and thought, "Wow, my microwave is already compliant. How cool is that." This is what my microwave looks like. Those two dials and a door open button beneath. It is white. It has no digital clock display on the front. The dials are even arranged vertically just like that. The only thing I miss about my current microwave (a freebie from a coworker...

Oh, and the power doesn't look like your car's temperature dial (what would the blue indicate? You aren't gaining more of something at the lower end). It has just the red part (though in black) with specific points marked as "defrost", "low", "medium", and "high".
- Miss Elle
All those extra pre-programmed features are terrible on microwaves. Anything that comes with directions on cooking it in a microwave has only two axis of options: power and time; so this suggestion of just those dials makes sense. I've never had a "potato" or "popcorn" button work on any microwave, getting those right is always a lot of trial and error for each oven.
- Andy Bakun
@Andy -- Now you are making me miss my previous microwave even more since it seemed to be The One microwave that had a functional popcorn button. Though on the two-dial system, you just have to mark where to turn the power and timer to with a "-popcorn" to recreate that feature.
- Miss Elle
Thanks all! I'll rejoin this conversation when I'm not on the run. :)
- Micah Wittman
Miss Elle, I see your point exactly. The blue should be dropped, leaving only the red crescent. See, we're already collaborating :)
- Micah Wittman
@Micah - If you need a working prototype, I could sharpee in the popcorn settings on my microwave and then take video/stills of it for you. Mine is pretty old and not so pretty, but it clearly shows the two dial system.
- Miss Elle
Miss Elle, if you're willing to hack your own microwave, that would be awesome to photograph and share. Wow!
- Micah Wittman
Some Panasonic microwaves have a dial, maybe even two. ... actually, check out the Panasonic NE 1027, a commercial model which may have been UK only and may already be discontinued. Still, the NN-C994S (consumer model http://www2.panasonic.com/consume... ) has two dials...

Wow, Mac default scrollbars look so much nicer than Win :/

Maxamad, Jobs is *not* a lot of things, but he is the guy who anticipates how a javascript hack involving scroll bars for clock digit segments would look prettiest ;)

Cecily, I was all ready to buy from crucial.com and then realized they only deliver to the contiguous 48 states. #GeoFAIL
- Micah Wittman
John, good point, I should see what their prices are - internet purchase shipping cost could factor in.
- Micah Wittman
Really? That's new. The last time I bought RAM, I think I bought it from them. But that was some time ago.
- cecily
Hmm, they had a region selector for "UK". Maybe I'll go try that and see if UK/Europe wraps around back to N America.
- Micah Wittman
I've also purchased from OWC which has good prices but it's US and you might get stung with cross-border "brokerage" fees. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop... They also offer memory trade-in rebates.

The deed is done. Crucial memory from NCIX.com for $120 CAD all in (Crucial CT744383 PC2-5300 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-667 200 Pin Apple Macbook Memory Kit). Thanks everyone!

I think there is no opposite to 'mid' because mid is not an extreme. If you're mid-way through something, neither being before the something or after the something is a true opposite.
- Spidra Webster
Sure, there's an opposite. The opposite of mid-ocean would be "on the shore" or "on the edge." If you're talking statistics, there's a term (which I can't recall) that refers to maxima or minima (as opposed to median or mean).
- Glen Campbell, B.A.
In my understanding of opposites, Glen, there can only be one opposite. If there are two states that are "opposed" to the term, they're not truly opposites.
