I read somewhere that if company A pays to license some IP from company B, that can later be used as evidence that the IP is owned by company B. (Example: Microsoft licensing UNIX IP from SCO is seen as evidence against IBM in SCO's suit against IBM) Analagously, paying up for use of this trademark may have legal ramifications down the road, mightn't it?
Yeah, I'm well aware of the 'sick' [sic] stuff in these books. And yes, the best stuff is internal monologue. That's why it would be challenging. That's why I said I dare someone to do it. Moviemakers have to have somewhere to go.
Personally I think that 'sick' [sic] stuff was necessary, too bad it alienated some readers but I think Donaldson took on a challenging story/idea and succeeded.
Hey, I'm not saying it would be a blockbuster, but you don't necessarily need that kind of budget to do creative special effects as time goes on.
All I'm saying is, I would really appreciate seeing it, and I highly recommend the books with the caveat that some may find the sexual abuse disturbing.
Donaldson's Gap Series -- I dare someone to take that on. It has an incredible amount of building tension and mounting climaxes; I think it would blow everybody away to see it. It has everything you could ask for in a movie.
The 12" powerbook is way faster for mp3 encode/decode, has a better combo drive, better game performance. The G4 is a must for any pro or pro-ish creative work - music, video, photo. If it's too hot send it back - don't let all those vocal unhappy customers make you think they are all frying pans. If you type a lot, the PB's keyboard is worth the price difference.
This just seen on the Fink website: "It is recommended that all Fink users who are using Apple X11 upgrade. A new version of the system-xfree86 package has been released to unstable that takes the new Apple X11 into account. It should be appearing in stable shortly. "
I have the same laptop and same as you I have no problems. I agree with SoupIsGoodFood that this is not a very important piece of evidence, but I would not say that it is totally irrelevant. If you were able to change something about your laptop that would cause the problem to happen, now that would be interesting. Or if many people posted exact details of their systems...
On the cubase.net forums, when 10.2.3 came out a bunch of people were unable to start Cubase SX. Many people posted with system details saying whether or not they saw the problem. After a while it was obvious that the problem was confined to Quicksilvers that did not have a built-in microphone. Later it was deduced that some kind of TI "Texas" audio driver was part of the problem.
I have a 12-inch PowerBook, and it does not "try to always top off the charge". There is an Apple KB article on this - the cutoff point is 95%. And isn't it the decision of the firmware or OS to charge or not? Certainly not the battery's decision.
Personally, I use Cubase for recording MIDI tracks, then turning the mix into audio using VST instruments and effects. I like being able to edit tempo changes and such after the performance. I'm tempted to get the SX upgrade just because I won't have to reboot anymore... bye bye OS 9... oh except Starcraft Carbon stopped working when I went to Jaguar... I think that's when it stopped working... oh well. And hey... to me SX may be simpler than VST, since I don't have to use OMS anymore.
If you could send a message to the children of tomorrow, what would it be? Do you plan to do anything productive while in jail (think Bird Man of Alcatraz)? Do you think you'll ever make the news again? What types of crimes have been committed by those you'll be jailed with?
I, like the inventor, hate AOL emoticons. They remove the extensibility of all the symbols they intercept. The Smiley thread gave me an idea I never thought of, though - the way to avoid some of the assymetrical symbols is to type them backwards (-:
Ha! No need for silly catapults. It's time for a two-stage, reusable except for fuel, airplane based system, which is what they should have used all along.

Agreed. The problem is not always the testing itself, but what you do with the test results. They should be used to discover patterns of coding/design mistakes, holes in previous testing phases. Each bug found should be a revelation affecting all aspects of the development process.
The article mentions one good idea for avoiding the service calls - Apple should put in a preference option to ignore the data portion of multi-session CDs. Or perhaps this is something someone could provide a hack for. Not providing such a solution, were it possible, I can understand as a boycotting-type action; lots more publicity this way; but users should come first.
OK - here's the reason maybe - iPhoto, although coming with the system, came on a separate CD. I bought from an independent retailer and they did not install. iTunes and IE on the other hand were pre-installed and there was no separate CD for them. So I guess I'll know what to download in the future.
(lol) Well, since you asked, I did look through the front door - and if you look hard enough you find that people have different results depending on which way they install things. I know how to download it, but from the limited info I have I think the auto-update is a bit safer admin policy while the system is in good shape. Thanks for taking the time to offer your feedback, by the way:)
And another thing - how do I know if this is even going to show up in Software Update? The AppleWorks update didn't - how was I supposed to know it wouldn't?
I'm not seeing anything new in Software Update. I wonder what the usual length of delay between "download" release and "software update" release is. Why don't they do both at the same time, anyway? I've been clicking Update twice daily since this came out the first time - and I'll probably keep doing it until it works.
Yeah, so don't upgrade the OS. IMHO, the reason for the lasting value is the utility/coolness of what originally ran on the machine. Not every one needs the latest software or peripherals; not even every geek needs them.

exactly what was the problem?
Sorry, we don't have any of those. Perhaps we could interest you in some ill-tempered sea bass?

Its not silly. There is plenty of EVIDENCE that Paris exists, yet it has not been proven to me.

I don't remember an iMovie update; maybe it was before my time. Also, I did not get a CD for iMovie - hmmm.

How do you know this?
I guess noone knows of a list of which apps get Soft-updated. That's what I was hoping for.
And another thing - how do I know if this is even going to show up in Software Update? The AppleWorks update didn't - how was I supposed to know it wouldn't?
