Might the people be merely requesting a new code to further their 30 day trial? Your software might have precautions against this, but on a Mac I know how easy it is to simply delete a preference file (ircle developers: please pretend you didn't read this).
You could have already thought of this, but that's just the first thing that popped into my mind. They don't download the software because they already have the software. They just need a new code.
Hey man. You have no idea how cool it is to hear someone asking about the site. It's been a long time since I've talked about it.
Basically, running the site just got to be a hassle. I had to deal with advertisers to keep my server running, and web advertising isn't doing so hot these days.
Ever since I stopped posting I've been meaning to re-visit the site and fix it up. I get free hosting these days, mostly because I run my own web hosting company (www.tobinhosting.com). The site might be a nice way for me to voice my opinion whenever the urge overtakes me.
Anyway, that's what happened. If you liked the site, I'm sorry it's currently dead. If you didn't like the site, well, screw you too.:)
I never said or implied that the only way I'd try it would be if I bought it. I was merely telling the original poster why I wasn't planning on buying PR1.
Before you decide to love Apple too much, realize that at heart, the student discounts really are just a way to get the next generation of professionals to use their software.
Sure, Apple does discount more than Microsoft. But remember, that just means they have a different business plan, and put their efforts in the future, not the present.
This is the same as when countries must find a balance between investing in consumer goods and capital goods. Money spent on consumer goods = a nice today. Money spent on capital goods = a nicer tomorrow.
Whoops, my bad. I'm glad you caught me on my facts.
My point still remains, though. Apple has been known to abduct 3rd party software into their own company. Date and Time, iTunes, etc. etc.
Thanks again for that tidbit of knowledge, I didn't know that. Do you happen to know the company/person who first came up with the clock in the menu bar? I once knew, but have since forgotten.
I did some research, and it turns out Apple implimented the contact feature much better than anyone else has previously. The other poster was correct to say that it now runs off of vCards. Very cool.
Also, to reply to what someone else said. The new iPods (and all the old ones updated by the new iPod firmware) can indeed support Ogg Vorbis. Very cool!
I'm curious as to how Apple got their brand new "Contacts feature" seen here. It seems to me that two other people beat apple to the punch. iPod Organizer and ipoAddress.
I'm curious as to whether Apple went to the developers, and bought the idea/software. I know they did this for SoundJam, in order to get iTunes. They literally bought out every SoundJam developer, and took the software.
I also know this is how the "time in the title bar" idea got started. 3rd party software, bought by Apple. Any facts surrounding this acquisition?
I'd be interested to know whether or not it will run Mac OS X. On one hand, Apple built into their operating system a list of computers that it can run on. They did this so non-G3 users wouldn't try to do an install.
On the other hand, there are several utilities available that override Apple's settings. I've personally used one to get OS X running on my Power Mac 7300. One such utility is XPostFact, http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=111 68&db=mac. Although it's not the one I used, you can see that as an example.
Does anybody with more knowledge than me have any insight?
The main problem I see with your logic is that you're assuming that every computer user knows how to open a link in a new window. You're also assuming that even if a person has this knowledge, they'll remember to do so when the time comes.
When weighing the costs and the benefits, I seem to side with using target=_blank in some circumstances. Whether the site I'm designing is for a novice user or a tech junkie, if I truly cannot imagine the user wanting the link in the same window, I'll set the tag. The downside is that a select few might have to close an extra window. The benefits are that novice users and absent minded techies alike will surf happier.
Now, I'm not going to claim to be a RAID expert, I'm just a beginner, but it's my understanding that RAID 10 is NOT more reliable/redundant than RAID 0+1.
Mylex agrees that in a RAID 0+1, up to TWO drives can go out, as long as they are non-adjacent members of a ray. How RAID 10 could be more redundant, I don't know.
Yeah, I really think the issue lies in how efficient you are with your page designs and graphics. If you use a poor WYSIWYG editor, such as Adobe Golive, you're going to get bigger HTML files.
Next, if you don't efficiently use image compression techniques to their best uses, you'll also run into troubles. A high quality GIF can be much smaller than a low quality JPEG, if the type of image warrants it to be so.
I guess this should be a lesson to us all. If you think the page might get linked on slashdot, get rid of your fluff!:)
I really don't see what the big deal is with slashdotted servers. I've had two of my own articles posted on slashdot, and rode the wave just fine....ON A CABLE MODEM.
Yes, it's true. I hosted a review / editorial site on a Cox@home cable modem for around a year and a half. Never had a problem. It maxed at 30k/sec upstream. Images might have been slow to load, but the entire page always loaded in less than 10 seconds (and rest assured, it had plenty of images, screenshots, and data to load). I think the problem lies less with the amount of visitors going to the site, but with the inefficient page designs with inefficiently placed and uncompressed images.
But then again, maybe I'm just blowing my own horn.:)
In the last days of @home, my services were serverly hampered. At first it was just port 80, and they claimed it was because of code red. Then port 23 was blocked, obviously because they were trying to cut down on servers (I believe port 23 is for mail servers). They also blocked a few other ports, I believe including the default port for FTP.
Now that @home is being removed in my area, I wonder if my new service provider will unblock the ports. Until then I won't know if this was a dying effort from @home, or a long-lasting change that will always be with me.
Although I don't agree with their decision, I can see where they are coming from.
I was in Germany last summer, and was quite surprised as to what material showed up on my TV. After coming home from a beer garden one night, I flipped on the TV and saw raw porn right before my eyes. I changed the channel, and found more. Public TV, no joke.
The reason for this was that Germany has a kind of "everything goes" rule after 11 PM. TV stations found serving perverts at night was more profitable than merely going off-line.
I think Germany's new proposal is silly, merely because of the vast differences between TV and the Internet. On TV, there are a limited amount of channels, and setting restrictions on what they can display is legitimate. Setting those same restrictions on the much more open Internet just doesn't make sense.

Great. Spyware makers resent cleaned up versions. But guess what? CONSUMERS RESENT SPYWARE!
In my own opinion, spyware makers have no right to complain. Is there something I'm missing?

Yeah, I suppose you're right. It's more of a donation than a purchase.
Yeah dude, that's exactly my point.
I never said or implied that the only way I'd try it would be if I bought it. I was merely telling the original poster why I wasn't planning on buying PR1.
Calm down man.
I'll wait until the final copy is out before I buy it. Something deep inside me just refuses to buy beta software.

Helpful hint: copy the URL of that .wav and paste it into a new window to avoid Angelfire's stupid "no outside link" policy".

When unemployment dries up, and your dot-com fails, I've heard that prostitution pays off pretty well.
Maybe he should try that?

I bet the feds shut it down.
"WHAT? A little girl named Lisa, only 17 years old, and she's on the Internet? We've got to stop this, fast!!!"
We didn't take it down, THEY took it down.
Exactly. I completely agree.
:)
It's just ironic, that's all.

Nope, but I'm aware there's some Canadian running around up north with my name. Personally, I'd like him to stop. It's my name, not his.
