An OS X dock icon bounces when the program needs your attention. Its the nearly the exact same thing as a program flashing in the Windows taskbar. The icon has to bounce to be seen because the dock is hidden (by default).
Once again, this law suit was in 1978. The Beatles had not been a band for ten years. You really think this was some sort of stunt to promote their back-of-the-warehouse catalog?
Only if the bill actually makes it to the floor and passes.
That aside your specific knowledge of quiet camera's intrigues me and I may desire to subscribe to your newsletter.
It's my understanding that it's only illegal for the police to execute a search without a warrant.
If the heating oil delivery guy wandered into your back yard and saw Illegal Thing X then his testimony to it's existence is grounds for a warrant to be issued for the authorities to search and seize.
What? Get it in writing? Well, duh. Also get it in writing that you suggested an alternative, ethical plan.
Cover your own ass. The other guy's too busy covering his.
"And someone is much much more LIKELY to survive and kicking that being stabbed"
If someone really wants to kill you they can easily do so with any weapon that comes to hand. A few good blows to the temple with a blunt object will kill you just as surely as cutting into a major artery.
"[...]it's the de-facto number one scanner in Russia and surrounding area (you know, where all the viruses come from?)."
Ignoring the assumption that all viruses come from Russia, wouldn't that make it more likely that the virus developers would make sure their viruses can evade detection under it?
Are you dense?
Virtually any male over the age of 14 knows that filtered internet access is virtually worthless.

"For example, if you buy movies, you can't play them on the most recent MacBooks"
Not true. They will play on the MacBook, just not on an external analog monitor/projector or the digital ones without HDCP support.
"Just like enforcing theft is not socially acceptable until it happens on a large scale with consequences big enough to justify the inconvenience to fair people."
Are you trying to be funny? It's quite common for people to be prosecuted for stealing goods worth far, far less than the cost of the prosecution.
Actually I believe that Python was produced at a time when the BBC was opposed to using any canned laugh track. The exterior shots laugh track were presumably recorded while playing back the tape to the audience as a prelude to the interior, live filming.
Why by yielding to the right of course! So while everyone is yielding to the right the people in the biggest hurry can slam on the gas simultaneously and meet in the middle. Hopefully thus increasing the average IQ by a small fraction.
Seriously though, I've never had a problem with that. Where it's unclear who was the right of way I just coast into the intersection a bit more slowly than usual so that it's clear who came to a stop first.
"The most serious possible injury would be harm to an unknown number of the marine mammals," Chief Justice Roberts wrote. "In contrast, forcing the navy to deploy an inadequately trained anti-submarine force jeopardises the safety of the fleet."
Caution be-damned in the name of the national defense.
"Coming from San Diego (born and raised), I can tell ya, I watched Chemicals go from basically anyone can purchase at K-Mart to now you have to have a license."
And coming from New England, I can tell ya that Hitler shouldn't have been rejected from art school.
"While this would work for most goods on the black market, prices wouldn't change much for illegal drugs. It's cheaper to buy some illegal drugs than legal ones because of massive regulation and liability. Just wait until a heroin user's family sues because their kid OD'd."
I doubt that very much. It would cost a fraction of the street price to grow cannabis, opium poppies, etc yourself. Home production could be regulated the same way home distilling is (pay a tax stamp fee and only produce a reasonable quantity for personal use).
As for the liability of the manufacturer of the more dangerous substances, I have two words: warning label. It works for tobacco and alcohol, it can work for heroine and cocaine too.
I forget precisely where the options for the appearance are in Vista but turning the 'enhancements' all off (or at least the heavy hitters) will give you what looks pretty much like a Win98 GUI which will run more quickly.
"then I tend to think that merely speaking words is probably insufficient to fix the problem."
Do you have a newsletter I could subscribe to? Or better yet, are you free on Thursday?
While I may not agree with what you say I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
I don't believe that in our current semi-police sate it is feasible to exercise the right to free speech without at least the option of anonymity.
And it's things like this that screw representative Democracies up. It's the 21st Century Earth! We have the technology to implement a real direct Democracy. So what are we waiting for?

I've yet to have a problem with Software Update. I suspect GP has been taught by Windoze to just click "OK" to everything.

Of course IANAL.

What's with the forced login for "more/uncommon symptoms"? Clearly you 'doctors' are trying to experiment on me!
Open source != democracy
Open source means only that the source code is freely available. It is still (typically) maintained by some form of oligarchy or dictatorship.

Yes, Sir. Which is why amaroK on OS X is going to be huge. It's the one app I sorely miss.
Your problems installing a single distribution on your specific (possibly archaic?) hardware clearly apply to all Linux varieties on all hardware.
Thanks for your help!

Leopard runs beautifully on my (Intel) MacBook.
Perhaps their new software was designed to run on their new hardware? Just a thought.
