Did you try pressing the eject key on the keyboard? If your keyboard has no eject key, pressing and holding F12 for about 2-3 seconds does the same thing.
I've never seen any Mac/OSX user give any *conrete* reason why Macs are good (let alone better than PCs). I wonder if it's because there aren't any or because the users are too stupid to figure them out.
Have you considered the inverse of that? Namely that there are definite, concrete reasons Mac OS X is better than Windows, but that you are too stupid to see them?
How is it that most non-retarded humans can grasp the idea of a brake pedal AND a gas pedal, but your father can't handle two mouse buttons?
Because the consequences of not using the brake and gas pedals correctly is injury or death. If the same thing applied to the mouse buttons, I bet people would learn a lot quicker.
If you are a Bush supporter, I fully expect a bizarre, otherwordly excuse that only a mentally retard lemur would believe to now emanate from your general direction.
Mentally retarded lemurs everywhere are bristling at being compared to Bush supporters. Especially the ring-tailed lemurs, they hate that shit.
Sorry, I just really couldn't stand the first season. After hearing the characters blathering on (poorly) about all this techno-jargon and pseudo-magical things happening left and right, my brothers and I started calling it "Babblin' Jive". I couldn't look at the thing without laughing.
What techno-jargon? Babylon 5 had very little techno-jargon. Are you sure you aren't confusing it with Trek?
I remember when apple had decent market share, I also remember the countless viruses(wdef,nvir). Strangely problem that went away after mac's marketshare dwindled in the mid 90s.
If I recall, there were less than 60 viruses for the classic Mac OS (versions 9 and below.) If that's your idea of countless, what do you call the number of Windows viruses? Ultra-infinite?
My mistake, I thought you were doing tests to see if there was an actual difference, not whether you might be a highly suggestible person. If you want to do unscientific tests, and then conclude that preamps with blue front panels sound better than preamps with red ones, feel free... My chums and I have double blind tested audiophile power & speaker cords vs "normal" ones...none of us could hear any difference. ALthough we are a small statistical universe, we are tempted to conclude, there is no difference...
Sssssshhhhh . . . keep your scientific reasoning down please, I'm trying to hear a snowflake land on my shoulder . ..
Good point. We should pass a law prohibiting the construction of fusion reactors containing more than two solar masses of fuel (just to leave a good safety margin) on the Earth.
Good idea! Let's get Orrin Hatch on that right away, he's just the man to get this very necessary bill passed.
Because people who take courses to learn word processing / excel skills learn to use WINDOWS and ONLY windows.
Microsoft Office, in case you hadn't heard, is available for MacOS X. It isn't that hard to learn your way around MacOS X if you've been trained on Windows (or visa versa, for that matter.)
Btw, mac also cost through the roof, and was there ever any virus's for that weird O/S, whats it called again? Oh yeh LINUX!
You can get an eMac for $800. If you can get education pricing, you can get a CDROMless eMac for $600.
A lot of people miss the fact in the Bible that it says "kinds" and not "species." The Bible "kinds" is not equal to "species." There was no need to take every variation of dog and every variation of cat.
Then where did all those variations (species) come from? If, as the creationists claim, evolution doesn't happen, then Noah had to have taken at least two of every species that currently exists on earth. If he didn't, then they evolved.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but here is the key counts for the two methods without rearrenging equations and counting numbers as one key: the equation: 2 / ( 6 ^ ( sqrt( 4 * ( 5 + 8 ) ) ) in casio 14 keys: 2 / ( 6 ^ sqrt( 4 * ( 5 + 8 = in RPM 16 if stack deep enough: 2 ent 6 ent sqrt ent 4 ent 5 ent 8 + * sqrt ^/
You're wrong. I get 13 keys for RPN: 2 [ent] 6 [ent] 5 [ent] 8 + 4 * [sqrt] ^/
They do however, use their monopolistic position to try to force hardware upgrades down the user's throats (your battery doesn't work anymore, too bad, cough up the dough)(you want better performance, buy our new $3000 g5).
What monopoly position? You mean their monopoly in Apple hardware? Is that like Dell's monopoly in Dell hardware? Or Ford's monopoly in Ford automobiles? And while I will agree that Apple's initial position that you couldn't replace the iPod battery was horrible, you can in fact replace it yourself with a third party battery, or have Apple replace it (for more $$$) if you don't feel capable of doing it yourself. As far as more performance requiring you to buy a new G5, yeah, if you want to have G5 level performance, you have to actually buy one. Maybe someday a third party will offer a G5 upgrade card for G4-based PowerMacs, until then you have G5s from $1800-$3000+ from Apple.
Their licensing schemes are infinitely less rigid than Microsoft's (except for the whole "you can only install them on our machines even if you could find another ppc workstation"). Call me a troll, but risc or not, those are the reasons I stick to x86. I'll just 'switch' between xp and linux depending on the task at hand.
Tell me, I'm genuinely curious, exactly what other PPC hardware does OS X run on besides Apple's?
Fascinating. Apperently he wote Scotty as an intersteller drug dealer. So I guess Bones was an addict in the orignal instead of accidentally getting shot up.
Completely and utterly false. This is the lie that Gene Roddenberry perpetuated, despite repeated pleas from Harlan to knock it the hell off. In Harlan's original script (see Ellison's "City On The Edge Of Forever", ISBN
1565049640, for his complete original teleplay) it was some no-name crewman who was dealing drugs. Gene changed it because we can't have people selling drugs in the perfect Trek universe (that would too....human.) Gene also made many other claims about Harlan's script that were false (e.g., it was too expensive to shoot.)
The complete story is in the previously mentioned book.
And you make it sound like it's good it was designed this way? I'm glad there's an ocean between me and the US...
You're not as safe as you think you are: if you take all the lawyers in the US and pile them into the Atlantic ocean, you could make a bridge to Europe and the few remaining lawyers, most likely working for the RIAA, could come get you.
Having ad-stripped versions of certain series, I can make an observation.
The Outer Limits (early sixties). Fifty-three to fifty-five minute runtime. 5--7 minutes of ads per hour.
X-Files (or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or any new Trek series, etc.) Forty-two to forty-four minutes. 16--18 minutes of ads per hour.
Plus, look at the season lengths. First season of The Outer Limits had 32 eps. 32*54 = 1728 mins/season. Average season of X-Files or Buffy has around 22 episodes. 22*43 = 946 mins/season.
Ergo, a season of television consisted of nearly twice as much (eighty-three percent more) back in the day, than it does now. I can't believe they still have filler episodes in the shortened seasons. Bleah.
Yeah, but see, with HDTV, you'll be getting many more pixels of video, so the amount of stuff they're giving you is the same. Just trying to think like a MPAA member.
OMFG!! They've actually removed the manual eject hole on the iMac drives! How fscking retarded was that?!! So yes.. if you ever insert any kind of damaged or corrupted disk of ANY kind and it causes the machine to crash, it's going to cause the machine to crash again every time you restart it, there's no other way to eject the disk, and you'll need to get your machine serviced. Pure genius!
Just boot with the mouse button held down; any ejectable media will be ejected before booting.

Are you certain you're using it correctly?
From the article:
I know many of us want SCO to SFU, but instead of applying it at 3.5, we'd like to scream it directly at Daryl at about 11.

Yep. Wasn't everything there formed from the same base substance? Even the packaging?
