Death by Tech Support -- 2:40 pm CST, Update by The Master

As I already suspected: hardware tech support truly sucks. And if hardware tech support doesn't get your goat, I recommend trying to get any technical support out of Symantec sometime. I've had to call them 4 times in the last 3 years on installation issues with Symantec Antivirus, and I can tell you that once my current install expires, I will be looking at other options. Yes, their TS is that bad.

Test Your Game Store Clerks -- 9:25 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Electronic Gaming Monthly sent a person to various gaming stores to see the answers that the clerks might give. Some were good, some were horrible, some were just snotty. Go figure, the EB Games guy was the most obnoxious.

icculus .plan Update -- 11:07 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Ryan "icculus" Gordon updated his .plan again (scroll to the bottom), talking about some of the things he was able to get running on Intel-based Macs with relatively little effort. It seems that there were as many changes that needed to be made because of gcc4 as there was due to the switch in architecture. Of course, developing for Linux gave him a leg up there.

The Master comments: What I like about Icculus is that he is a programmer's programmer. He doesn't screw around with a lot of superfluous BS, getting right to the point. Excellent info in this .plan update.
