What would be really cool is some kind of modular external storage device that the Mac Mini would connect directly to and get rid of the inboard disk drive
Now that Apple knows they won't be overthrown by angry mobs for putting slow HDs in the Mini, they could just tell you to use your iPod.
The keyboard shortcuts using the command key on OS X are often analogous to their counterparts on windows which use the control key.
Well see that's where the author went wrong, too. The keyboard shortcuts using the control key on windows are often analogous to their counterparts on Mac OS circa 1984 which used the command key.
I've found it handy to set my top right corner to trigger my password protected screen saver. You can do this from the Dashboard & Exposé preference panel.
It was originally a colaboration between MS and IBM. So chances are MS owns some of the code.
My understanding is that the collaboration took place during the time that IBM thought the 286 would power PCs for the long term and MS' and IBM's relationship was souring. Bill decided to give IBM what they wanted by having OS/2 written in 16bit ASM while Windoze development continued in C. By the time MS and IBM broke up, IBM was left with a steaming pile of shit that had to be rewritten from scratch.
I forget where I read this. The book had a title along the lines of The Rise and Fall of IBM.
Yes, but it can be a pain if you want to suprise your wife with a gift, and it pops up on recently viewd items next time she checks amazon. From now on all anniversary gifts will come from brick-and-mortar stores and be purchased with cash
You're so commited to your right hand that you buy it anniversary gifts, slashdotter?!
You butchered the joke. The 4th guy wasn't so much a computer engineer as an engineer at Microsoft. His suggested solution was to roll up the windows, get out of the car then get back in the car and roll the windows back down.
I guess they've changed their name to metro, but they have modular commercial shelf systems capable of carrying 800 lbs. per shelf. To turn them into a cart just requires modular parts like big beefy wheels. I put together my entertainment center from their parts and had my fat ass relatives sit on them to test the weight claim. I'm very happy with them and I can always turn them into something else. They're chromed steel so I don't have worries of scratching them or corrosion. I did put solid wood panels on the shelves for looks and a more stable surface for my electronics but you might prefer the ventilation.

I am typing this reply on a USB keyboard!
BTW, it's wireless!
No, you're probably typing on an IR or bluetooth keyboard. It so happens that the receiver connects to USB.
The information you cite is from the anti-Castro loby in the USA , This is not the truth of the matter . The anti-Castro loby is mainly filled with Gangsters and terrorists who thrived under Batistas reign.
Try looking for more than one source of info first , Cuba has had a better human rights record than the USA since the late 70s.
Are you an official in the cuban government or a student? I was just reading about internet access in Cuba and would appreciate your insight into it.
4. when I use spotlight to search for 'dashboard' it lists a PDF that doesn't contain the word dashboard. not sure what's going on there.
Spotlight doesn't just look at file names. Spotlight can search through meta data and content even if in pdf format. Open the file, you should find "dashboard" in it.
1. Read my prior post where I reported that in 2001, Microsoft sent its developers for intensive security training.
Last I checked, 2005 - 10 years < 2001, which leaves your first argument as "hey, M$ should be commended for playing catch-up."
If I had a habit of recklessly falling asleep with a lit cigarette I wouldn't expect high praise when I decide to quit smoking after the house is in flames. Especially if others kept warning me about what a bad idea falling asleep with a lit cigarette is.
As for your second point, complexity and popularity alone are not valid excuses for M$. There are plenty of more complex, more visible, and more mission critical operating systems that don't reach for their proverbial knees when a hacker, let alone a script kiddie, comes knocking at its door.
Since most of these cover things that weren't around yet or problems 10 years ago, it's disingenous saying that they should have been resolved 10 years ago.
The decision to not care about security was made more than 10 years ago. The specifics of how windoze has been compromised time and again -- while not necessarily foreseen -- could have been avoided by common sense security practices that were already common in other operating systems.
ITMS can make money selling a single copy of a work that's already out in digital form.
This isn't so. When the iTunes Music Store was released, Jobs bragged about how great AAC is and how vintage songs should sound even better than the version you can buy on a CD. They've digitized off the analog reels instead of just compressing digitially sampled audio.

I don't mean to troll, but if this is the most creative you can be then this company is going downhill fast. Whatever happened to the Apple that had all those great new ideas?
...and yet people wonder why Apple is so anal retentive about less elegant copycat products. These aren't even real products and Apple is already taking the blame for them!
the average workplace is more like high school than high school actually was
We should get a slashdot discussion going for this topic alone if it hasn't already gotten one. I seem to have once again gotten myself stuck in the "acceptable geek that can get you out of a jam, but isn't really a 'cool' kid" role.
Motorola licensed NT from Microsoft and ported it to PPC. The arrangement was priced out of Motorola's interests when Intel came to fear how much better even NT ran on a superior processor architecture.
IBM talked about getting OS/2 on PPC but it never happened.
Bradbury, like most writers, has often titled his stories with quotes from poems or other literary works. Basically, I think he just hates Moore.
Yes, since Bradbury didn't want any confusion to lead to him being associated with an extreme political view, he must therefore hold personal hate in his heart for Michael Moore.
The judical branch (the courts) reviews the law, and decides if it's a law that is allowed. Specifically, the decide if the law is allowed by the consitution. Whatever the constitution says, goes, it's the supreme law of the land. If the judiciary decides a law violates it, they can strike it down.
Unfortunately what's happening more and more is that a law will be passed which some court somewhere might interpret to be a little out of synch with their interpretation of the constitution. However, instead of giving the law a yea or nay assessment, they decide to pontificate on how the law should have been written and carried out in order for the law to fall within their interpretation of constitutional. Suddenly the people under the jurisdiction of the court are expected to follow the law according to this altered assessment without the court's version of things ever being legislated.
I'm posting this in case I'm not the only one who ran into trouble resetting "help:" to the Help Viewer. Before the security update came out I'd set the "help:" protocol to point to chess. If you want to point "help:" back to the Help Viewer you'll find the app in/System/Library/CoreServices/
Fire up MisFox again and update the help protocol helper to/System/Library/CoreServices/Help Viewer.app
