First of all, they are defined entirely in terms of their symptoms, not in terms of some malfunction of the body. Why is this unusual? After all, before the underlying cause was known, diseases like AIDS and SARS, too, were recognised in terms of their symptoms. But that is different. It is perfectly meaningful to say: "that looks like SARS, but it might just be a bad cold, or the person might be deliberately exaggerating his symptoms". Hence also, with real diseases, it is possible to have an asymptomatic disease, like asymptomatic Hepatitis C. But it is not possible, even in principle, to have asymptomatic ADHD.
There is another unusual feature of diseases like ODD that should give us pause: they are typically treated without the patient's consent; and indeed the "treatments" are often physically identical to what would in a non-medical context be called punishments. This breach of human rights is casually justified as being "for their own good".
Well, aside from describing almost every psychological disorder unrelated to a freaked out pituitary or something, there is an aspect of ADD/ADHD/ODD that you don't touch on: while many of the behavioral descriptions seem like ordinary teen angst-y kind on behaviors/traits, there is an *extreme* irrationality to them, and maddening constancy.
I was one of the parents who got angry at pre-schools who couldn't "handle" my stepson. "The world is full of Tom Sawyers! We need to find a way for them to express some wild creativity."
But as time went on, things went wrong. He would fly off the handle for no apparent reason (as a four year old). He still wakes up at 5:30 - 6 every morning absolutely bouncing off the walls. He can't grasp instruction (sans medicine) without constant repetition, and even then can't follow through well. He seems (note "seems") to think causing pain to the vulnerable (small animals/insects/etc) is funny in some way. He can show the greatest sympathy, however. He lies about meaningless things. He has very little external awareness. He exhibits loud repetitive patterns. He sneaks food he has permission to eat and hoardes snacks he doesn't. He has absolutely no tolerance for change or disappointment.
He is now almost ten. Many if not most of these behaviors could be seen as pretty normal. However, the above behaviors - all of them - appear multiple times during a single day. It's exhausting, even with him on medication. He doesn't seem to learn from trial and error, or instruction. He seems to grow out of tics and behaviors.
I'm one of the most laid back people you'll ever meet, but even I will tend to get snippy when I have to negotiate almost every aspect of his day after schools from walking in the door to going to bed. There is rarely an "OK dad" that comes easily from my three year-old. Even on items I give him permission for. He'll up the ante. Then - at age 10 - call me an asshole under his breath for not letting him have a third fruit roll up or whatever the hell it is that he is focusing on at that particular time.
I love him to death. He can be the sweetest boy, but also the cruelest. He can be the most easy-going, but also the pickiest. There is usually no middle ground.
I've raised him since he was a year and a half old (also raised his brother who was five and is now almost 13 and living with his bio. dad). Both boys have similar issues. The older one chose to live with his dad when he turned 12, but was consistently cruel to his younger brother when he lived with me and his mother, and had similar inward-focused behavior.
The issues are very complex. I wish this was a world that had a place for everyone. My stepsons would undoubtedly hurt themselves or others, however, in an unmedicated state.
Read beyond the mere symptoms, and look at the lives of the people involved. Usually, they are deeply unhappy themselves, and not due to factors outside themselves, but to an internal inability to interact with the world in a way that others require (not merely "want" e.g. polite, non-violent, control mood swings, respect property, etc).
Seems to me that this technology has been available on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD for quite some time now in the form of Howl. It's an opensource library that supports Rendezvous/Zero Conf. I've used it for a while now to do all sorts of fun stuff. In fact, the responder portion of it even runs on the WRT54G boxes.
The only difference here is that this is the blessed client by Apple.
Well, to be accurate, if Howl is based on the opensource library for Zero Conf, that, too is blessed by Apple, as they - in the form of Stuart Cheshire - were the ones to come up with it.
The reason the tarball was in such a huge chunk is because it covered the whole shebang of html editing. As Hyatt said, it doesn't make any sense to drip and drab that in.
Well, if all the gomers out there are right and you can get a kick ass machine for some pocket lint and paperclips, *and* OS X server has no per-seat licensing *and* there's no product activation, why not get a test bed set up, whip up some java-based workflows, or drag and drop with Apple's new automator tool, roll it out a bit at a time (secretaries first, then marketing, then accounting, then blah blah blah) and just keep some Windows boxen around for legacy stuff.
Couldnt these people even make one phone call and try and add anything slightly new, different, or informative that everyone else doesn't have?
Well, they tried to call, but that damn battery in the phone produced so much hydrogen, their car ignited like the Hindenburg. Hence, no followups. They're all dead.
Anyway, I installed it already, and oh man, it is everything I thought it was going to be. Actually, those ten improvements (Spotlight, Dashboard, Automator, etc.) that everyone's talking about are all pretty cool, but the OS really is significantly faster and smoother than 10.3.x. And a lot cool stuff is changed under the surface. Check the man page for cp, etc., and you'll see what I mean.
Don't forget the levitation thing tha... oops. Nevermind. Just got my C&D letter.
Skin? SKIN?!!! OK, you gnome/KDE hippie. Apple doesn't make "skins". They produce "human interface guidelines" and bond the UI onto an app so tight it'll make your anus pucker.
Unless you're talking about human skin from any "trade dress" lawsuit. In which case, they make lovely lampshades.
The two-meter-(6-foot)-long orange glider with a four-foot wingspan will slowly make its way northwest, crossing the Gulf Stream and reaching the continental shelf on the other side before turning around and heading back to Bermuda, where it will be recovered in July.
I'll bet they just drop it with an anchor, follow some dots across a computer screen for laughs and the NSF grant committee, and come back in a few months to pick it up.
I'm not saying Apple copied MS, I'm saying MS *DIDN'T* copy Apple, not this time anyway...
From public statements, anyway. Who knows what sort of industrial secrets are held to the chest and we don't know about. Apple or MS may have been cooking this up in the labs, and the other announces it to steal some thunder.
They seek to have total control over their platform and how the users use that platform. Sueing their fansites is exactly the behavior I would expect from Apple.
Hmm. You must be talking about just the chip or something, because on the G5 towers that start at $1400 or something, you can replace/upgrade drives, vid cards, optical drives, memory, etc. as well as add bajillions of compatible 3rd party peripherals. A 16 button mouse, if you want.
Apple also includes X11, you can use fink or another package manager, you can even install yellowdog linux. They include free dev tools for both the BSD and mac environments. A free compiler. Almost RAD-like cocoa app dev tools that give you the low level stuff for free.
So I'm not sure what you mean when you say "total control" over how users use the platform, unless you mean you can't build a mac out of spit and tinfoil with an embedded mach kernel with an opensource mac personallity or something.
The public interest is for a hand-counted vote, observed by all the candidates and other independent members of the public, which in other countries is typically completed well within 24 hours of the polls closing.
I wish that were possible, but election day has become a dumping ground for all sorts of public referenda and obscure public positions.
With anywhere from 10-50 different issues being voted on, that would be one big piece of paper.
Did you miss the fact that I specifically talked about the requirement for a dedicated AVC decoder chip in this comment? Then you came along and, in response to my notes about the death of SD video, said "How about H.264?" Making it clear that you were confused about the difference between the hardware and software aspects of the discussion.
I guess I missed the part where the hardware was some big stumbling block. The chips themselves are supposed to ramp up and cost around $20 a pop. That's what's pushing the hardware above $400?
Um. Dude? H.264 is a video compression algorithm. It's better known as AVC. S-video is an analog video plug. DVI and HDMI are combination analog and video plugs; HDMI also carries audio.
Uhh, right. I was suggesting that Apple is positioning itself to stream to your TV, via AirPort Express or some other means, with the efficiencies of the H.264 compression algorithm.
Why be restricted to plugging your computer into your TV when you can stream? Have you tried Tiger's iChat AV with someone else using iChat AV? Brilliant resolution. I was thinking an evolution of that idea, particularly as they've hinted at something with the HD market.
I'm not really sure where your criticism is intended, particularly as this thread is regarding Airport Express.

Get him off the artificial sweeteners and sourers and see if that makes any difference. Fixed my kids up lickity split.
Yes, we've noticed that some foods make things worse, but I don't believe they're the cause.

Luckily for the dickheads and assholes at Disney, not only are their tops made out of rubber, but their bottoms are made out of springs.
The difference between NIXON and Bush is that NIXON knew what he was doing was wrong. Bush seems to think anything he *CAN* do is fair.
What a sad commentary that today's "plausible deniability" is straight-up sociopathy.

the press did a thorough recount of the ballots. every scenario. guess what. bush still wins. if you want the links, i'll find them
You'll be looking for a while, because they won't exist, or they're wrong.
The NORC study showed Gore winning in all statewide recount scenarios.
If the votes had been recounted using the limited methods advocated by Gore, Bush still wins.
If the votes had been recounted using the Bush method (i.e. not), Bush of course wins.
If *all* the votes had been recounted, using *any* method (individual standards in each county, or uniform standards in all counties), Gore wins.
Dems boned it in the legal arena, and should have asked for a full recount.
