I downloaded MisFox 1.2.1 and changed the Help Protocol Helper to Chess. For good measure I unchecked "Open 'safe' files after downloading" in the general preferences of Safari.
I thought GoldenEye was a seminal piece of work. Until I played GoldenEye I hadn't encountered a FPS that didn't require that I just run around and shoot under an artificial precept like a timer. I particularly liked that if I didn't perform my missions correctly I would fail.
When I not so long ago wanted to play a sequel to GoldenEye, I purchased Rare's PerfectDark at EB's used bin for $10-$15
Also, not all of the tech support guys are jerks. If you get one, and arguing with them gets you nowhere, just hang up and call again. Maybe you'll get someone who will genuinely try and help you out.
What's funny is that when I worked tech support for another company, the jerks were the ones praised for having short call times.
The nice guys working to fix customers' problems get screwed on both sides of the equation. i.e. belligerents intent on taking out their self-inflincted frustrations on you
If I recall correctly, weren't the polymer batteries in the iPod first to market cutting edge technology? i.e. ounce for ounce more powerful than anything being produced at the time in consumer quantities
It seems Apple is periodically on the losing end of class action lawsuits over product standards other companies appear to get a pass on. The court remedy is usally lame for the affected consumers and at least in one case where I received an offer to join, the original problem no longer existed. I wonder how much tougher being in California makes it for them.
How many of these security fixes in the new update are related to the OS?
I don't see why anybody aware of the open source technologies that underpin OS X couldn't just locate and apply the fixes themselves. The users who don't know how can pay for the convenience of continued consumer-level support. As for the OS specific security concerns, is it unreasonable to expect an upgrade when there is a new OS release?
I recall that this was available natively in MacOS 9 but then was dropped for X.
Funny thing is that I recall using Liteswitch on Classic before it was introduced as an OS feature. I don't remember the company "Proteron" being behind it. I think it was just a shareware utility. I don't recall any hubbub when it was rolled into the OS then.
My first reaction to the memo is to question why it's being brought up now if it is to be taken seriously. Mac Developers were the first to legitimately try out Panther and the copy passed out at WWDC had the feature in question. Did they lobby behind the scenes and only now have decided to bring it to the public after being ignored or is this simply a publicity stunt??
Of course, because as everybody knows who read either of the two articles linked, telemarkets don't have to pay tolls on their toll-free incoming office lines.
It'd be so smart of them to leverage their Time Warner division by giving buyers of their own stuff the right to download the MP3s on the spot so they can listen to the music while their CD is in the mail.
Or maybe just set up a playlist they can stream off the order status page of whatever they ordered. Once the order is fulfilled the playlist can go away along with the order page.
If one can sue over copyright infringment based of a reppetitive set of tones, what is to stop someone from generating millions of tonal combintations with a computer copyrighting the lot of them and suing every "artist"
uhm, you might just want to consider listening to a different music genre and reconsider that thought. I think having to put artist is parenthesis should have tipped you off.

If it's on your Mac it's because you installed it on your Mac. That's a red herring.

I wonder if they'll be using O'Reilly's ADC blessed books for texts.

As far as I know only the postman can legally put anything in a mail box and the anything has to come from the post office.
Ok, how's this: It'd be so smart of AOL to buy mp3.com

You know excalibur was given to Arthur after he gained peace because he needed a better sword for the harder work of maintaining said peace.
Get it?! The ship is named after Ronald Reagan and he has alzheimers so he has memory loss.
h0h0h0, alzheimers is so funny, nobody I love is suffering from it so it's sooo funny. h0 h0 h0
