APC suggests that this covers the most necessary PowerChute functions. If you need PowerChute features not supported by Energy Saver (you want to turn off the low-battery beep, for example), APC also suggests that you attach the UPS to a Windows PC or Mac running an older version of OS X, run PowerChute to do what needs doing, and then reattach it to your Mac running Snow Leopard.

The Setup for Average Joes (at least the Average Joes at Hacker News)

My commute through Seattle’s Capitol Hill and into the heart of downtown takes me through a maze of cars, pedestrians, and well-intentioned but not always well-thought-out nods to cyclists.  But in this chaos lies the beauty of riding to work every day: It is simultaneously a workout, a mental challenge and, quite possibly, the most efficient way to get to work. But it’s not the same as riding on a placid trail somewhere, blissing out to the iPod.  It’s not even like a fast group ride on a country road.  It requires both heightened attention and a willingness to forget many of the “rules” of cycling.  In their place, here are 10 things I’ve learned about daily commuting in the city:

“Earlier this evening in the office Jason Kincaid and I, both Android users, asked MG yet again why he won’t admit the iPhone flaws. He said ‘As soon as there’s a better phone, I’ll buy that one instead.’ I pointed out that the iPhone doesn’t actually make calls with any reliability, and he said, seriously ‘It doesn’t need to. I use the phone mostly for apps and browsing, not calls.’

My response – if it actually made calls, perhaps that wouldn’t be true. He then threw something at me and stormed out of the office. True story.”
