There's a difference to considering the mentality of a religion everyone's a member of in a country (Spain, Mexico, France, Italy, etc.) when a full sixth of the world is the same religion and most of them couldn't care less what religion they say they are, as opposed to a religion that has a good number less members that are only highly-concentrated in one place in all the world.

G5 Benchmark Roundup

Because, perhaps, they couldn't trust SPEC to withhold the information long enough to keep the G5 s surprise? Perchance? Anyhow, I'd expect to see something around the time the G5 actually ships.
Both my wife and I have it (ADD) and yet we never understand when one or another "zones off" and ignores one of us.
Funny, that. If we'd only learn to understand one another I'd have a whole hell of a lot less bruises...

Working with ADHD?
·
· Score: 1
ADHD does not exist.
I'd like to believe that, really, but I'm afraid it does. Just because it's over-diagnosed does not mean it does not exist. You cite examples of real disorders being diagnosed, but I note that you don't say those don't exist. It's the same deal here.
I haven't been to a doctor about my ADHD, but I've made the decision to do so in the next few weeks. I think you need to read the comments on this article and read about people who really have it before your cynicism takes over. For those of us with it, it's a mental hell, especially the bad cases.
[offtopic] The only thing better than RMS with multiple personalities would be if one of those personalities worked at Microsoft. I'd piss in my pants. [/offtopic]
It's not you, it's the ideas expressed in the rest of the comments to this article. The people that claim any and all medication is a cop out. Sometimes it really is needed.
For a five year old? Hell no. No one should be on mind-altering drugs until at LEAST 8, preferably 12. That I'll agree on. They put me on Cylert at ten or eleven, but I was unwilling to do the rest of the work to make it work (ie. I didn't WANT to pay attention) so it never worked for me. Until a person is ready to do their part, and understands, really understands what one has to do, one should not be put in a position to change the way one thinks.
Following a model? No, not really. No one's pushing me to get medicated, instead I'm actively trying to find someone that will, other than push me off to another doctor. Why? I can't do basic things. I can't read. I can't write. I can't watch movies. I can't work around the house. All I can do it work at my job and that because it's just answering calls, which are short and keep my attention because they're technical.
It's not society that's making me want to fix this very real problem: it's the fact that I can't live like this. I don't need a normal life, I just want one that works.
Every last one of you talking about social order, or drones, or even claiming it's all a bunch of hooey simply make me furious. This is real, this is my LIFE. I life it every day and I HATE IT. There are jobs I want to do that I cannot because I could not figure out a workflow that kept my interest and lost the jobs. I can program. I can do it well. I can't hold a programming job. I can fix computers well. I can't hold that job. I can do a lot of these things but the only thing that keeps my attention is answering fucking phones and helping little mr fucknut with his server.
I can do more. I can be more. I need out of this broken brain before I can do it. I've done a LOT without meds. A LOT. There's still more to go that I can't control. I NEED HELP WITH THIS. Fine, it wasn't good for you. Whoopie. That does not invalidate it for the rest of us who really do have problems.
And no, it's not social. I have friends and a family of my own. I get along fine. I just can't control where my attention goes.
I can't read more than two pages of a book, even an engaging one, at a time. I can't write (I love to write) more than a scene at a time. I can't watch a whole movie in one sitting. I can't read long web pages without just drifting off onto another page. I can't listen to someone talk for more than one minute. I can't drive long distances without almost getting myself killed because I zone off. I can't organize anything in my mind. Nothing. When I had to put furniture in my home people wondered why I had the TV in the dining room. Truth it, that's the only place it fit the way I arranged things. Five minutes later my wife had it arranged properly. Five minutes. I have to have to-do lists out the yang to remember the basics of everyday life. I run out of gas because I forget to look at the guage until it's too late.
I like the fact I have to go to work, and I do it well. It's normal life I have problems with. Things like, well, reading a book. Fine, you don't have to live this life. I do. The core fault of prejudice is assuming too much. You're assuming that because you can't understand not being able to control what you are interested in, that the disorder cannot exist. That's a fallacy.
I rather agree. Frankly, at my tech support job the only thing I can concentrate on is the job itself. Come on, fifteen minutes of attention at a time is the perfect ADD job. =)
I failed as a programmer not due to knowledge, but because I could not hold a coherent programming session, even without distractions. I went as far as copying the code locally and turning my network switch off. I just turned it on later because I was so bored. I knew I could do it, I just didn't want to. I wanted to do something engaging.
I've fought for ten minutes to get this far into the article with my copy of Gran Turismo staring me in the face across the room. Bah, fight on...
So I recently switched to the overnight shift. This requires actual work since there are no calls (more money, less work, whee!) and it's the actual work that I fail to do. Actual work being: write technical documents, develop call flow charts, test software, etc. I can't pay attention.
So, for ADD folks, it's not being forced to work, it's being given one large task and then being told "have at it!" and then leaving that person alone. Not going to work. Lots of smaller tasks. Lists. Outlines. Flow charts. Whiteboards, whiteboards, whiteboards!
Variety is the ambrosia of ADD workers. I can do anything you want, just break it up for me and give me random pieces.
You cannot enjoy the priviledges of a group without taking on it's responsabilities. If someone screwed up in your system, you must all bear that burden... in whatever shape or form.
Untrue in this case. The laws against violating copyright are very clear on this and always use the term "knowingly" as in "whosoever knowingly reproduces..."
I nor you knew that the SCO code was copied. Not having been presented with substantial proof of this claim we still don't know. As of this moment, we are not liable. The moment the code is known we have a "reasonable time" to remove the code before being held liable.
As for the poor soul/company that did the copying, well, I'll light a few candles, eh?
Not entirely accurate. Sure, they'll remove it from the current version, but there's a shitload of archives of those versions that have already been "sold"to the general public.
They can always say that the old stuff is the key, but what they really want to do is more evil than most people have seen: by forcing people to leave the code in, when the case is over in two years they can claim damages up to the time the case is decided rather than now, when we can remove it.
They're keeping it a secret to increase damages. It'll take a second lawsuit to undo those damages and prove this is what they were up to, but by then they'll have taken the money and declared bankruptcy and be unable to pay it back, so it won't matter.
Both have 100MHz busses. Both have 640MB of RAM. Both have slow-ass DVD-ROM drives. Both encode MP3s (same settings, of course) at 9-10x. Both encode from an AIFF file at 15x.
The iBook can't open a 20MB Photoshop file in under 5 seconds. The G4 can.
Something is very, very wrong if they're still shipping these damn G3s. Motorola needs to get out of the PPC business and let IBM work it. Bring on the 1GHz iBook with DDR!
As with most other ventures, I'm sure just getting in contact with Apple would change this. Sure, you're not a part of the launch party, but there's no reason they wouldn't want more money, you know?
now IE has a staggering 95+%. It frightens me sometimes.
Where the hell are you getting that data?! My sites are typically 25% IE, 15% Moz, 50% misc robot traffic, and Opera, Safari, etc. in the lower ends. Sure, IE is at the top, but not my much. I think, overall, that IE has a little over 60% of the share.
