Well, if you go by one set of figures, Apple has an 8.1% share in the US with a whopping 37% increase over last year, while a more conservative estimate puts it at 6.3% share and 15.9% growth. The difference in these figures comes from the different predictions, one at 1127k sales and the other 1338k sales, the difference is 211,000 sales which is a fairly decent chunk. It's a little too soon to confirm the 37% prediction AFAIK, but it is likely to be closer to that than the 15% one. Whether it will sustain that growth another year is a tough call.
Either way, it's a very healthy market for Apple in the US but unfortunately they only hold around 2-3% of the world market. As such, the world market share is what will decide the fate of firewire, and it's not looking too promising. Until Dell, HP, Gateway etc. come on board it doesn't stand much of a chance. Even Toshiba including a port as standard would have a greater world impact than Apple.
Just wait till the RIAA finds out you've been representing every single sample they ever made simultaneously. I'm pretty sure a fine of $150,000 * (2 ^ 1024) would be seen as fair and reasonable compensation by an impartial court.
Who to go with, the military funded scientists working on a solid foundation of one of the most tested and proven physical theories mankind's best and brightest conceived of and developed with working models or a random blogger who can't get his head around the uncertainty principle.
Well, fair enough, Einstein himself quoted 'God does not play dice' on this very issue, before coming to terms with it. You might have the best of intentions but unfortunately you're off track. Regardless of what anybodies opinion is the quantum uncertainty model accurately predicts all available data, and theories that coincide with empirical evidence are useful and usable no matter how small or great an understanding we have of the underlying processes.
Come up with a simpler theory that fits all the data and I'll gladly accept your claims of crackpottery, otherwise open your mind a little and realise that regardless of a deeper understanding, if the math fits, we can do it, ergo quantum computing is not just feasible, but is already happening as we speak in labs the world over, like the one in TFA.
A free man makes his own choices. The effects of prohibition are organized crime and massive profits for the black marketeers who care nothing for their victims. We already have a system in place to distribute drugs just as potent, and often more potent than meth, crack and opiates. It's called prescription medication, and those drugs share the same problems of addiction and loss of freedom. Yet instead of receiving your drugs from a gangbanger and funding organized crime you are visiting a doctor who can help inform you about your situation, and get you in touch with counseling and rehabilitation services.
The choice is simple, continue fighting a war against your own citizens or simply allow the people who already deal with powerful drugs the ability to control the situation. There is only one sane option, unfortunately we are far from arriving at it.
Well, technically the mice are pan-dimensional beings not really in this universe as such, so I guess it's just the dolphins. What the hell though, at least we've got digital watches!
You can still buy one, get one but it's unlikely you'll get one before Christmas, and it's only open to US and Canadian citizens. Still, it makes the perfect gift, as every one sold is another one in the hands of kids around the world.
all of which he intends to donate to charity to feed the poor. Hah! You really think that's where those advertiser dollars are headed? He'd be better off donating once to the OLPC project.
Oui, you are right, but alas few coders ever try to make legible code. It's very odd I know, but hey it takes a certain insanity to enter the field in the first place, non? There will come a day when the language is not a barrier, but until then I'd recommend the C++ frequently questioned answers.
DVORAK: This is the formula for pissing off Macintosh users, for getting a lot of links or attention, and this has been deconstructed but never accurate, let me give you the deconstruction.
First I'd write something that would be semi-innocuous with just enough insulting stuff to get a lot of attention from the Macintosh community. So then they would write in, and by the way it would always be done in such a way that I would have outs, in other words I would write in kind of a weasel way. I would then, then I'd get one column with a lot of numbers.
Then I'd get a lot of hate mail and all kinds of Macintosh reaction and then I would react to it as though I was flabbergasted, that everybody misinterpreted me and they hated it and I don't get it and what was wrong with these people, which would piss them off even more. So I'd get huge hits, after that..
INTERVIEWER: What was the point of all this?
DVORAK: Now wait a minute, for the numbers..
INTERVIEWER: Which numbers exactly? What numbers are you looking for?
DVORAK: And, believe me, lots of numbers. Now then I let it simmer down for a while and when whatever position I had taken originally I would change the position exactly the opposite, and tell the Macintosh people I was completely wrong and they were right all along and the numbers would go through the ceiling! (laughter)
I had an eerie experience once, I was outside a room where a sitcom was on and I couldn't make out the dialogue but I could hear the laugh track and the ads. After every ad break, the track would start at a giggle, slowly warming up until it was roaring every few seconds. Then a blast of ads would come on and we'd be back to quiet giggles. It drove into me how forced and artificial it was. I now despise laugh tracks unless the audience is being directly addressed (like standup) when it doesn't seem so staged and awkward.
It's all in the wrist. Take a fencers stance, with the chair in your leading hand and the whip in the rearmost hand. Keep your shoulders and wrist relaxed in your whip arm, and give it a gentle flick forward like you're fishing. Then give it a gentle but rapid flick and CRACK! Smack that cat! Remember to keep the chair raised but try not to tense up - you'll need to be relaxed when the cat disobeys and leaps towards you, if you're tense you won't react in time. CRACK! CRACK! that's how we deal with that.
Yeah, it's only takes their blood, sweat, tears, heart and soul though so they don't die, they just turn into heartless soulless cold blooded corporate executives.
Ahh, the old 'double negative' development methodology. They should have just gone with Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server, that's got full enterprise grade quadruple negative power.
Well, they know which link you clicked or didn't, that should provide adequate feedback to determine if the top results aren't being useful, though I suppose many will click the first link blindly skewing the figures somewhat. So just by using their site naturally you are providing feedback (assuming they examine that data).
It's like the old public domain software, but infectious. I miss the idyllic old days when coders had minimal contact with lawyers. It seems against common sense, obviously they should release any changes they made to the library they utilised but to somehow claim their entire work as public domain for a minor addition, well that's legalese, and against the spirit of sharing. Still, it's all politics and licenses these days, the spirit has been caged and has lost its edge. Time for a new rebellion, global union hackers{int lose; int yoke;};
You're right AFAIK, the case referred to in the PDF was about an artist suing an NBA player and Nike for a commercial they made featuring his design, hardly the case presented in the article. Still, I managed to track down the BSAs inky dopplegangers, the Artist Legal Alliance with some anecdotes about their ebay antics here.
See, here's the real deal. The rest of us here at/. have been running linux since the mid nineties and find apples watered down overpriced & crippled setup a cute joke. It looks great on the surface, but us nerds care more about whats inside than just a pretty face and no amount of shine hides that its a tightly closed black box. Here comes the car analogy - if you make it hard to pop the hood, then don't expect many mechanics to drive your car. Far from the majority of/. being apple fans, the real issue stems from the fact that only apple fanbois even bother reading apple press releases, so all you get is one big back-slapping circle jerk.
Just don't let the price be everything that a free democratic republic should hold dear. It's not the monetary cost, it's the cost to your liberty that is at stake.
Your physique is the result of what you put into it. Try a combination of the atkins low carb diet and a highly nutritional diet involving fresh fruit and veggies. Don't just eat 'low fat' processed foods - the idea is to cut all processed foods out from your diet and to just eat delicious goodness as it comes, your body can convert any sugar or fats it imbibes to the energy or protiens it needs, just keep a decent variety in your diet. Mix beef with chicken and fish, mix potatoes with turnips and onions. Mix beans with peas and nuts. Just keep it varied, and your body can take care of the rest. Just don't be dependent on a single source for nutrition, you need dozens of angles to stay healthy. Food is the ultimate drug, and eating will affect your moods adversely if you eat crap. Stick to oldschool foods and avoid processed junk and you should be fine, especially if you are diabetic.
You can see my online nick anywhere on this site or in google, and sure it links back to my name if you give a shit. So what that my online persona has achieved quite a bit in the last decade, it still isn't something to present your future employers with, no one except a hacker or amateur/.er deserves to know what my thoughts have been for 10+ years. My online persona is my personal life, and not my professional life. I'd recommend only exposing the professional side of your online activities and leave the rest to chance.
It's not my words, but the Popes word. I am a self-described atheist, so I don't really give a fuck. Either way, you said "Correct me if I'm putting words in your mouth, but I think you misunderstand what he is saying. He is not saying that homosexuality is ok. Homosexuality is still sin." to which the Pope says "Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin". I could put it in simpler terms, but I'm sure you get the gist. Go sodomise your girlfriend, I'm sure she appreciates it.
