I'm a mac user, and mostly OS agnostic (so long as it doesn't include Windows;) ), love OSX, I'm a practical geek in that I don't like toying too deeply on the hardware side, I prefer software, but seriously, you've got to be kidding
- iMovie - Avidemux is nice although I admittedly prefer imovie
- iPhoto - Digikam, f-Spot, seriously, I rarely use it as I have other pieces of software for my photography habit.
- Garageband is shite, then again, I come from a musical background, I've used actual professional software
- iWeb is horrible, nobody should be allowed to do websites in WYSIWTF
- iDVD - er, you kidding?
And that+iWork is only 220$ btw. But admittedly, on the price of the mini, it's not too bad. I guess. Only, the prices students pay would probably be closer for oem pricing;)
When the loonie tanked down while the USD was going back up, there was a short period where Apple was cheaper than OEM who had adjusted and you got essentially the US Student Discount price before discount in Canada...
The problem is that it's based on a gene-centric view of genetics, for one, not all traits are related to a single gene, and it's traits that are passed around mostly.
And that things change without real predictability;)
Not only did they change everything for no apparent reason, they also added stuff that's wonky and broke further stuff that was broken (and of course their refusal to do a code audit to make things work on hfsx, their killing good software, their bloating crap to nonsensical amounts, etc...).
Shhhhh! Or they'll start quoting Ayn Rand if you anger them. And no one wants the rugged individualists to proclaim their slavish devotion to a hack, now do we?;)
The tissue is actually there, but low levels of testosterone makes it almost an impossibility: one of the more commonly prescribed drugs for it is an anti-androgen.
Oy, seriously, tinnitus sucks, it came as part of genetic issues that caused my hearing loss (I'll probably be deaf by 25), and seriously, when it's at the strongest, I just keep drowning my apartment in music as loud as can be (not that it sounds very loud anymore, esp. strings:p)...
And yeah, tons of stuff are ototoxic (ears are seriously about the most fragile organ you can think of imho, it's as though they're really just a weak patch over touch:p )
Hey, that kid with brain cancer, young, better let them die. Heart disease, risk taking and you get cut off. Burn victim could have been safer.
We should go further too: if you're too old, why the hell should we care for someone who is about to die? Disabled? You're a drain on resources, sorry.
Or maybe instead of your own idea of who deserves to live, we could just do the humane thing and not behave like bean counters.
Hardly, small farms get reamed by it: if you own less than 300 acres you're fucked. A friend of ours is a veal farmer because it's not as heavily regulated: she gives the milk to friends because legally she can't sell it as it costs 30.000 for a milk license, essentially her entire income.
Hell, they're not just A publishing/music, etc company.
Within Quebec, they're the company that dominates newspapers (numbers and readership), television (numbers and watchers), internet access (half the duopoly, also own canoe which is the main quebec-based portal), the music industry (numbers, money), the publishing industry, and the movie industry (main distributor).
They have a monopoly on most aspects of Quebec culture, roughly.
Okay, before my hearing got out of control, I was a musician: here's a big secret, the model that you're defending is one wher 1% of musicians are doing 99% of the music, and 1% of that 1% is a bunch of overpaid pretty faces overlording over underpaid musicians. The recording industry as it works now is the worst enemy of the artists, so fuck you.
The real income for music is, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN, live performance. If the corps had their way, half the music in the world wouldn't exist today because it's derivative work (hell, italian composers ripped off heartily from each other) or because there's blatant tributes.
Many governments still have, among other things, websites that operate badly on anything but IE... sadly. And a bunch of corps too that are often too big to avoid. Let's not forget the media, the oem bundling, the lack of support.
1.2. Clarified
1. This is a stupid "I can't be bothered to remember" since It's my field of study: yes
2. I mean, even when we're talking of human peoples that still rely on predation. Which most of humanity hasn't for a couple thousand years, many centuries at least.
1. Did humans even live with mammoths
2. Hunting as a source of food for humans is overrated.
3. Who talked about blissful utopias?
4. Come on, Malthus? ugh
Actually, no, we're one of the few provinces that neither suck out (the Maritimes) or hand out (Ontario and Alberta especially), or at least that was the numbers in 2001 when I last bothered to check.
That's not a question of quebecois ethnic issues, that's quebec bureaucracy through and through with anything if you don't happen to be greasing palms.

It's a license agreement, all you lose is apple support. The law part hasn't been tested.
It's not an upgrade price, it's full software: you can install it blank without a previous license behind.

Considering the routine abuse the psychiatric profession seems to involve, I'd say too many.

You're talking about groups which wouldn't have existed without cooperation.
Er, yeah, I realized later... I meant Epiphany, oops.
