heh, you know the funny thing though is that when I go to CompUSA all the macs are open and showing off the desktop. I think Apple wants you to play with them. Mind you, down the aisle all of the WinTel machines are screensavered and passworded. Usually it's either pipes or maze. heh.
I'm running the preview on a G3 800 iBook (nov 2002 version) It runs dandy. This might just be the placebo effect but it also feels quicker. Snappier. Expose is very smooth and responsive. Preview as demonstrated at the keynote is very fast rendering.
Quibbles: iChat AV (otherwise excellent) tends to clip off buddy icons now and then. Really not an issue. There of course is no help (content not made yet) The biggest quizzer I had was figuring out how to burn a disc. There is no disk copy app. There is a program called disk image mount or something like that, that will mount dmg files. After a little while I found that I could use disk utility to convert a.toast image to.dmg format then burn to CD. worked fine. I don't remember if that was possible with Jaguar.
Those are the only three things that have bugged me and they really aren't anything to complain about in a Preview release.
you know this and I know this but many trolls don't know this. I think Apple just got tired of hearing how PCs are faster and what not. Personally I was blown away by the keynote. Also, for anyone wondering I'm using the developer preview now and if the release of Panther is anything like the preview, holy crap. It is nice. There are a ton of tiny improvements here and there that really make it nice, even nicer than Jaguar. These are little things that weren't mentioned in the keynote.
if you don't like it then use the haxie to remove brushed metal. Personally I think its the bee's knees

No. Lets see, I've got Slashdot, MacNN and MacCentral all reloading every few minutes. And of course when Jobs is done I'll watch the quicktime stream. here
Hey now, I live in Hampton Roads, VA pretty close to Northropt Grumman/Newport News Shipbuilding where they build nuclear subs and carriers. You don't see me scratching my third head and worrying about one of the boats sinking do you?
three things that contribute to some animosity to Intel. For every person that says something against Intel they usually subscribe to one of these reasons.
1. The pentium floating point bug of yesteryear 2. The processor ID hoohaa 3. Competition is fun. No one really pushes MS but AMD pushes Intel and vice versa.
What a freaking whiner. As for text not having the passion of cursive, who gives a damn? The passion is in the words. As for cursive being more arty or beautiful, hogwash. Well placed text on a nice website can be freaking gorgeous. Someday humanity will get over the disease of nostalgia. I can't wait. Things change. They always have. I hope they always will.
As for the methods younger people, and older people employ to write, who cares again? Again, language changes and English is certainly the most mutatable language in the world. It's supposed to change.
Has anyone noticed that no one writes an f as the first s in any word? No. Who cares? Other than the President of that association.
Wow. The massive amount of people that seem to have no ability to understand what the hell I'm talking about here is absolutely astounding.
you don't seem to get the point do you? The vast majority of america considers it stealing. congress considers it stealing. the musicians consider it stealing. eventually I'm certain the supreme court will consider it stealing.
I never fucking once said that Apple changed the streaming ability to comply with law. it is my educated guess that they did so to please the people with whom they have contracts. and maybe because Apple considers it stealing too and doesn't want to be a fucking facilitator.
lastly, you tard, Fair use does not denote taking something that you purchased. keeping what you purchased, making an exact 1:1 copy of that item and then giving it out to millions of people for free with no compensation to the original author/artist/inventor. That's fucking theft.
God damn it! Quit making fucking excuses for your illegal actions and the illegal actions of others by hiding behind your limited understanding of law. And you stupid son of a bitch if you ever fucking try to use Jefferson again to back up your twisted understanding of the world again so help me if I find out who you are you fucking coward I will see to it that you spend the rest of your life drooling on trees while tied to a bench in the park because you can no longer care for yourself.
Jefferson died in the 1st quarter of the 19 th century. he had no fucking concept of the computer. the only copying machien he'd ever heard of was the one he made to copy his correspondence.
Your defense of theft is as backwards as the inane defenses made regarding gun control.
I don't blame legitimate users. I blame the jackasses that turned a great feature into a way to commit theft thereby forcing Apple's hand vis-a-vis their contracts with the Labels.
offtopic. there's a comedian I saw on Comedy Central that does a bit about the emergency broadcast system. Does anyone remember the EBS cutting in on September 11th? Seemed like a good time to be doing that, at least in New York. Did they?
What is it with people wanting to make a good thing unavailable? The streaming capability of iTunes seemed pretty sweet to me. But, of course, some jackasses had to figure out the way to use that capability to further steal music. Why? What the fuck is your problem? Are you a kleptomaniac? An anarchist? You just hate other people and don't want them to enjoy things? You're not cool. You're a retard. You are the reason that good things get taken away. Dude, cut it the fuck out. You're no different than the jackass that first took a hair dryer into a shower.
Go ahead, flame away. Mod me down. I have the karma to burn.
well la-dee-da. When will they release it distro wide? As I recall getting Ximain for red hat was easy and great. getting it for dang near any other distro was a waiting game. Thats why I never really took to ximian and gnome. gnome is great. ximain is polished gnome. KDE comes polished.

hilarious. now we're trying to slashdot 404s?

I'm in the 3 camp these days.

Matrix Reloaded
1. saw it in the theater
2. saw it twice or more in theater
3. theater, then Divx
4. theater, then Divx, then Matrix box set
5. there is no Divx
totally off-topic but have you tried VLC? or mPlayer? Both play every format I throw at them with ease.
Now we just have to keep it. That's the hard part.
it means alot.
