I looked through the posts, and no one seemed to provide a link to microsoft.com/mac/officex/. Office v.X looks much better than Office XP does. Multi-selection seems to be the coolest new feature in Word, and Quartz rendered charts is the coolest feature in Excel.
Office v.X uses the Mac Carbon API which allows applications to be easily ported to OS X from previous versions of the Mac OS while allowing it to take partial advantage of new OS X technologies such as Aqua and Quartz.
I get it over an indoor antenna. That is the good thing about HDTV. It's digital, so I either get a picture that looks better than anything off of cable or satelite or I don't get a picture.
Sometimes if I get a weak signal the picture will freeze intermitently -- but all I have to fo to fix that is adjust my $20 antenna.
Toshiba made a 40" Widescreen RPTV that sold for just over $2000. The replaced it with an HDTV version of it for... just over $2000.
When my 20" TV died, I decided that I would get a widescreen TV since I had wanted one for two years since buying my DVD player. I bought a RCA 38" CRT HDTV for $2500. The smaller CRT costs more than the larger RPTV because the components are more expensive (and much heavier, I might add). So, I feel that all of the HDTV pieces of my TV are actually a bonus to the otherwise excellent widescreen TV (The Simpsons don't look half bad when stretched [or cropped] to fill the screen).
Can you tell me more about your antenna? I have an HDTV set and don't have cable or satelite. Antennas that are available in the USA suck. I bought Terk's $100 HDTV outdoor/indoor antenna, mounted it outdoors and got worse reception than my indoor $20 RCA rabbit-ears and loop antenna.
PS - Personally I think my $2300 (now) RCA 38" 16:9 direct-view HDTV with built in HDTV and DirecTV receiver was worth it, and the picture kicks the ass of any RPTV I've ever seen.
Well, I don't have a better summary of what you think went on behind closed doors. But, I do have an HDTV, so I can tell you what reality is.
ABC and CBS broadcast a large portion of their shows in HDTV. Each affiliate in Charlotte has a station that broadcasts in 16:9 HDTV 24/7 (however during the daytime the programs mostly have black bars on the sides to create a 4:3 image). They both also have an additional sub-channel that is in 4:3 SDTV and continuously runs a weather map. For a brief period of time one of these stations was experimenting with running one 16:9 channel, a 4:3 sub-channel with the same content, and an additional 4:3 sub-channel with a weather map.
NBC does a few shows in HDTV. They have a channel running in 16:9 HDTV 24/7 (most times with black bars -- not even Friends is in widescreen). They also have a sub-channel running a weather map.
Fox does a few shows in 16:9 480P (X-Files is one). They have a sub-channel that runs 16:9 24/7 and a sub-channel that runs a weather map in 4:3 with voice synthesis reading the weather report in a loop. Fox almost always has bars on the sides of the 16:9 channel.
PBS has five subchannels. I don't remember exactly what they all are; but one appears to be dedicated to kids, one to education, and one to 1080i HDTV.
Over the air PBS is split into about five sub-channels in Charlotte. I was watching some nature shows this weekend and they looked fantastic! I have a 38" RCA widescreen direct-view HDTV with the HDTV tuner and a DirecTV tuner built in. I love it. I mainly bought it for watching DVDs, though. I don't have cable, so the OTA HDTV stations were just a bonus.
PVP is one of the worst examples I can think of of the problem inherent with Web comics. PVP comics are great. They're cool. However, once you get to know a little bit about the cartoonist (he's a dick -- just read some of his rants), you don't really want to enjoy the comics anymore.
And here we see the problem that I think Bluetooth is still facing - there just isn't enough market penetration on PCs. What I would really like to see is something bluetooth-style on the desktop (rather than USB) so that I didn't have to mess with all those cables all the time.
You would still have cables, unless all of your devices were battery powered. That is the one thing people keep forgetting when they talk about Bluetooth and PCs. FireWire and USB both carry power, allowing you to connect most devices with only one cable -- which you'd be doing anyway even with Bluetooth.
Bluetooth only belongs on devices with their own power source, it isn't a replacement for FireWire or USB.
Well, you may be right about the others, but Dolby Digital is on the film:
The newest development from Dolby Laboratories puts a 5.1-channel digital optical soundtrack in addition to a matrixed four-channel Dolby SR analog track on 35 mm prints. As well as multiple channels, the Dolby Digital track provides extraordinary dynamic capability, frequency range, low distortion, and immunity to wear and tear.
Digital data for 5.1 channels are located between the sprocket holes on a Dolby Digital print. An analog Dolby SR track enables the print to play in any theater.
Was your movie showing SDDS by any chance? I think it is the only format that stores the actual audio on a separate medium from the video. The video is on film, and the audio is on an optical disc.
Most people that use Excel use it for financial analysis and they know a hell of a lot more about it than those newbie features you gave as an example.
A minority of people (myself included) simply use Excel for presentation of data/information.
I'm not supporting Microsoft, just correcting wrongs...
Microsoft has comments in its knowledge base. All of the comments are stripped out of the data that is exposed through the Web. There are some comments that business partners of Microsoft is allowed to see. There are more comments that outsourced employees are allowed to see, and there are even more that employees are allowed to see.
Then, there are also the in progress bug comments...
Oh, and they're all referred to as known issues.
You're allowed to talk to customers about all of the bugs except for Microsoft internal (the highest level of) bug comments.
Others point to lackluster sales of hotly anticipated new releases from artists like Mariah Carey and Macy Gray, and the glut of look-alike, sound-alike boy bands.
I'm glad you pointed out that sentance. Aren't the phrases "lackluster sales" and "hotly anticipated" oxymoronic?
Apple does this pretty well with OS X. Every user has a home directory. (I'm a new users so I may get leave something out here) Inside your home directory there are folders for Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, Desktop, Library. The first four are obvious. Desktop stores everything contained on your desktop -- so that your desktop isn't always cluttered with Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, Library. Library (from my limited use) stores configuration information for applications and services per user.
The hard disk icon on the desktop is an option. Mounted disks on the desktop is an option.
In a brilliant move (no, I'm not being sarcastic) in Win2000, Microsoft set My Documents as the premier icon of the desktop instead of My Computer. I personaly hate all of the "My" stuff because it complicates explaining things to users...
This is a pretty interesting read. I believe I'll disable the hard disk icon on my Mac OS X desktop when I get home. I don't really like how the hard
disk icon opens in the root directory, but the Finder opens in my home directory (where it should/I set it to), so I've had to teach myself not to use the hard disk icon anyway.
Why on Earth did EA release this game with a deathmatch map? MOH is the antithesis of deathmatch. They should have had the balls to let their Normandy invasion map go toe-to-toe with Wolfenstein's. Then gamers would have a better idea which game they want, and people like me who already own Wolfenstein would be able to evaluate whether or not they want MOH as well -- because deathmatch isn't the experience I was looking for in MOH, nor is it fun in MOH.
Deathmatch is my favorite mode of play in Quake 3, but it just isn't very good in MOH -- especially with that damned map. I've already uninstalled the demo.
The only way I would ever think about watching a movie this way, is is AOL Time Warner pays for my Roadrunner account for me. Then, maybe, I'll think about watching a stream of The Matrix.

Maybe EXTREMELY HEAVILY INFLUENCED would be more appropriate. Yes?
So, this guy basically makes a theme that makes KDE look like Apple's Aqua and you guys are making him out to be some kind of a hero?
Did you do the same for the guy that ripped off Windows' look?

"How about a highly portable laptop that lasts more than 3 hours on battery?"
My iBook easily lasts 4+ hours on batteries.

If CmdrTaco hates his GBA so much, why doesn't he autograph it and sell it on eBay? That should net VA Software some revenues at least...

You might want to try talking to the owner of the independent record store before you enact your guerilla tactics.
(I think) The point of the article was that the hard drive icon doesn't need to reside on the desktop. Not that it doesn't need to exist at all.
