Slashdot Mirror
Round 2 of Apple's Lost '1984' Series
webertk421 writes "The second set of lost 1984 videos has been released. This set again needs more mirrors (I still can't download the torrent files). According to the descriptions, the clips include Steve Jobs reciting some Dylan, showing the well known 1984 commercial, and 'Manuals,' another commercial that almost aired instead."
Yours in Christ,

Damnit. Saw Dylan, thought of the programming language. I need to get out more.
The Linux community likes to hide behind the mantra of free and open
l
a sp
software for all and as such has the twisted mindset that all software
should be free for everyone. This should come as no surprise seeing
that the Linux community seems to take pride in stealing anything they
can get their hands on and breaking laws designed to protect IP at the
same time.
Linux users have been advocating downloading Microsoft True Type Fonts
for years mostly because their own fonts and font system in general
has been so horrific that Linux screen fonts in most stock installs
are almost unreadable. Of course they will claim that Linux fonts are
great but if that were really the case why is the internet clogged
with Linux Font DeUglification documents written by Linux users?
They even have documents that give a step by step procedure for
stealing the Microsoft fonts and installing them on Linux systems!
Notice in particular the instructions for the Tahoma font.

Next we have Linux users violating the EULA for the X-Box and
tinkering with it so that it can run Linux.
Why on earth any sane person would want to take a bitching game
machine like X-box and ruin it by installing Linux is a mystery to me.

Pay particular attention to the question about it being illegal and
how they avoid answering the question.
They are also doing the same thing with Sony Play station as well.
http://playstation2-linux.com/faq.php
None of this is going to hold up in a court of law and the Linux
people who are leading these projects are looking for some serious
trouble should Microsoft and Sony decide to pursue this matter.
Finally we have the suit filed by SCO which claims that the Linux
community at large has incorporated stolen code into it's open source
programs.
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,936269,00.
This should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the Linux
movement from the day Linux wrote the kernel.
The Linux community has proven themselves to be a fight to the end,
steal whatever can be stolen from big business because it is big
business that is killing Linux.
The Linux community has absolutely no respect for the property of
others and will resort to any type of clandestine tactics to steal
whatever isn't cemented down all in the good name of Linux.
So if you are thinking of betting your business on Linux software, you
had better think it over carefully, because if SCO should win, Linux
will be out of business.
And if SCO should lose, do you really think it is wise to bet your
entire business on software that is supported by a community that
promotes stealing and in fact is full of thieves?
Food for thought.
Apples may be Insanely Great!

What was not shown was the wild bukakke session that took place after the announcements. All 300-ot Apple zealots were creamed in the face by Jobs himself.
Does anyone know of a video of Steve Jobs' original NeXT Cube introduction from 1988? I read about it in the book, "Steve Jobs and the NeXT Big Thing" and it sounded like it was just as impressive as the original Macintosh introduction.
Another cool video would be the Pixar Imaging Computer, which, naturally, was also cube shaped!
I liberated a Mac SE from the trashbin awhile back, but don't have any discs to boot it from. Anyone want to point me to someplace that can help me resuscitate it?
I've got to say, Slashdot and torrents go together like peas and carrots. By the time I finished clicking on the 4th torrent link and closed the window, I'd already finished downloading the first file.

I remember seeing this video during high school computing, probably in around 1994 or 1995. I had my powerbook (145!) with me that day, and recorded the bit of steve saying "IBM wants it all and it's aiming its guns at its last rival, Apple". I found the disks with it on a few days ago, but alas, I am still an Apple geek and now I don't have a floppy drive :)
Just tested... all four torrents work.
From the 4th video, about 55 seconds in, Jobs says:
"... of the 235 people in America, only a fraction know how to use a computer."
Haven't you noticed, we all use Macs today. Look at your Dell again, do you see those folder icons? Or how about the arrow cursor thats controlled by that mouse gizmo. The modern personal computer and its GUI was dreamed up at Stanford and MIT, prototyped at Xerox, refined and miniturized at Apple, and mass produced by Microsoft and Compaq and Dell.
...which still holds true to this day.

In 1684 there were well over 235 people in America. Various accepted estimates of the pre-contact (15'th century and earlier) Native population of the continental U.S. and Canada range from 1.8 to over 12 million. Over the next four centuries, their numbers were reduced to about 237,000 as Natives were almost wiped out. In 1684, however, the natives were far from gone and there were already quite substantial european colonial settlements. People forget that european people lived in America for a longer period of time as colonials then as citizens of the USA.

Steve Jobs certainly had a flair for the dramatic. Bit of a cutie too. Is that bad?
Is that a small fraction, or a large one?
Is there any way to download QuickTime WITHOUT installing iTunes?
Offtopic, Inflammatory, Inappropriate, Illegal, or Offensive comments might be moderated up.
The only place this might be untrue is in regards to the amount of money they can make you spend on their product.
1. Those that try to mislead, scam, force and lock you in to their product so you have no choice but to give them your money, or you'll regret that you did.
2. Those that try to provide high-quality, powerful and flexible products at reasonable prices so that people come back for resale after resale.
Of course, the cynical claim that #1 are the monopolies and #2 are those that aspire to be monopolies. I still have some of that naivism left.

I have two, a SE and a SE/30.
I put a 1.44M floppy into the SE, but it only sees it as an 800K floppy. There is System 6 installed, but the bare minimum on the hard drive. No MS-DOS floppy translator/reader, no Stuffit, etc.
I have a SE/30 with the 1.44M floppy, but same situation, bare minimum Mac System 6.
I downloaded the System 7 disk images, but I have no way to create them from an XP Pro PC. Also I did find a Mac formatter, so it made Mac Formatted disks. When I downloaded Stuffit for MacOS, and copied it to a Mac formatted floppy, the Mac complained that the resource fork was missing. So the Stuffit self extracting archive cannot run. I have no idea how to add a resource fork to make it work. Most stuff I download for the MacOS is in that SIT format.
Both Macs have a BNC Ethernet card, but no driver is installed for them, so I cannot hook them up to my network.
I got them on eBay a long time ago. Some day I hope to get them to work.

This is not fucking 1984. You're such sad nerds that you're not even drooling at the latest and greatest because you're too busy reminiscing about the latest and greatest nerd machine from 1984. Grow up. News ain't over 20 years old "when I was a little boy..." type shite.

Or the other way round, where the link is coralized and the original URL is preserved in a small o Icon link?

Its pritty common to refer to the USA as America....but the term "Colonial America" is also popular, indicating that there was an America before the USA. The actual root of the word is probably cartographer Amerigo Vespucci.

That dates "America" to the early 16'th century.
------ Take away the right to say fuck and you take away the right to say fuck the government.
Correct.
But you original post was a deliberate attempt to say that back in the 1600 the current United States of America was responsible with the killing of the natives of that time.
It was an attempt to say that European settlers were responsible (mostly by introducing smallpox, but also through war) for nearly wiping out most of the civilizations in the Americas.
Stop being so paranoid about the "America haters" you think are lurking in your closet.
Don't blame me; I'm never given mod points.
in the first video the mac called itself insanely great.

"Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" by Jared Diamond tries to explain why the Europeans conquered the American Indians rather than the reverse.
The coming out moment for the Macintosh can be seen in a really great documetary by Robert Cringley called "Triumph of the Nerds" (1995).
I just Netflixed it, ten years after seeing it for the first time, and the movie has only gained in its relevance.
In many ways Jobs' work with the Macintosh led to his being fired from Apple. This really was a landmark product, but it just wasn't priced well to compete with cheap IBM clones.
Why would I waste time trying to download one.
Are you talking about the Pixar box or a NexT?
FWIG, the PIC ran NeWS, and I have no real understanding of how that worked.
On the NeXT, the entire purpose of the right mouse button was to provide the menus that normally would exist at the top of the screen on a Mac.
Menubar at the top of the screen all the time means you don't need to click a button on the mouse to get it to appear - either at the default top left corner of the screen, or you could drag the menu to any location on the screen (preferably grabbing the top-leftmost pixel on the context menu and moving the menu as far off the bottom right side as possible. The menus are always there, but they only appear when you right click.
Troll, indeed.

At one point in the 4th clip about a quarter of the way through, Jobs says,
"of the two-hundred thirty-five people in America, only a fraction know how to use a computer."
He meant to say a higher number, so it's funny 'cause it's not true:)
I tried to download the full zip via torrent all day. No seed. Just now I tried downloading the big zip from two of the mirrors, but neither match the MD5 on the torrent, so I can't seed.
Somebody dropped the ball on the torrent links for sure. No seed. FWIW the full download links on the right side of the page seem to work.
