I think the decision should be based on installed user base. There are plenty of Mac-centric sites that offer browser-use and OS-use statics. Not to mention/. and Google.
I use 10.4 on my work machine because I like 10.4 window interface better and all my work software works on it. To go to 10.6 would require adopting to a new interface and upgrading software..... which I don't need to do to do my job.
I am using FF 3.6 but it crashes a lot. I think its a cache problem. Wikipedia crashes it... I may end up going back to FF 2.x
While they may be able to get binary type responses from these patients we have no idea whether the answers are made in sound judgment.
For example, if we were to ask one of these patients, "Should we pull the plug?" We have no idea if their reasoning capabilities are impaired by whatever caused them to enter this state. Would they be suicidal if they understood their current state, or would they be 'drunk" by their cocktail of drugs and have a lack of inhibition? Or would they be emotionally terrified of death and want to cling to life regardless of the possibility of recovery? Or would their answers be child like in simply want to please the person asking the questions? I don't think we will ever know...
So does this mean that they are trying to wreck havoc on our lives like nuclear bombs have?...Wars, threats of terrorism, devastating economic sanctions, preemptive wars, and cold wars?
Reminds me of the DEVO song "It's a Beautiful Life"
LOL - you have just pointed out the problem with "googling it..." 96.11/100 answers to "how do I do it with set ABC" contain "You dummy, do it with set EFG"
Personally - on OSX (I know, irony) is that I would love a set up were I can switch monitor A + computer A, monitor B f+ computer B; to monitor B + computer A, monitor A + computer B — in a single click or hardware switch.
Ok let me first state. I like the iPad except for the lack of camera (someone convinced me its necessary) and multitasking...
But, the point of the iPhone to be a locked down environment was so it didn't interfere with the phone functions and and expose personal data. The iTouch followed suit because it was a knockoff piece of hardware. At this stage, if Apple wants this to become the next iPhone it needs to add some of OSX's "freedoms" into it. and maybe a built in USB port.

I care about the subject because Nielsen Ratings are the industry standard - for good or for bad. It is way too often that good shows are canceled in favor of bad ones when Nielsen doesn't have significant ratings for them (ie Firefly). Yet these shows have proven to be hugely popular online.
Plus, the fact that they are limiting to shows with 3 min advertising blocks may doom the online model of much shorter intervals. Nielsen is intentionally overlooking an ample data source from sites like Hulu and the network sites, themselves. This only appears to be some sort of industry conspiracy.
"As for the rest, blah, blah, you don't like modern news. So why do you care?"
No, its not whether I like it or not. It went right over your head. Its about *supply* and *demand*. If the supply lacks quality, demand diminishes. If the supply is obtained else where, demand goes else where. For NYT specifically, they tend to cater to the demographic who expects free stuff from the the taxpayers. Those without disposable capital....And I'm just sharing my opinion like everyone else - like you. Have a nice day.
My dad subscribes to Time and Newsweek and claims that the article are no longer aged cheese, as you put it. He's really disappointed how thin and unremarkable the articles have become. On top of that, one of these or a different mag no longer prints weekly on paper and has gone to PDF. Thats pretty hard for a 81 year old man to read used to read the magazines in his easy chair and on the crapper. I suggested he use my mom's Kindle, but maybe this new Apple Tablet will work for him.
And I am not sure if I agree that being up on the news is a social status. I bring up stuff I have read about to the people I know and they look at me as if I was speaking a foreign tongue. They are more concerned with Jersey Shore, who said what on Facebook, and whats going on in the social gossip. Few of them can tell you significant facts about major news events - such as Pat Robertson was referring to the slave revolt in Haiti starting with a Voodoo ritual as recorded in Haiti's history.
As someone who produces printed material I disagree that paper cost have gone up. Its cheaper to print today than it has even been in the 18 years I have been designing for print. If anything has influenced the cost of news production significantly its the cost of labor.
24 hour cable tv as much as the internet have reduced the demand for print news because they make print news out of date before it arrives on the doorstep.
"And two, a free digital product that doesn't make shit..." How much do they make for online advertising? Do you have a some data to cite? I know personally that they charge a decent amount for ad placement.
Bottom line: this if fail. Its a business model that precedes the internet age (and the 24 hour news channel age).
Newspapers succeeded in the past because they controlled the supply in the region they did business in... One has to have demand and controlled supply to sell. There are too many news sources for anyone to really care if NYT is accessible. Most of their stories are out right biased and don't offer any unique insight. (They are not unique in these qualities by any means.) Internet news is rushed and inaccurate. It's extremely disposable because it changes minute to minute. Why would an average news consumer subscribe to online news when there are literally thousands of other sources that are going to regurgitate what amounts to the same story once reduced to objectivity? Do you think it will matter if the story comes from a major news source or a small regional source if its the same story?
Reading these quotes I have really no idea what this guy is getting at (specifically) - and I have done basic IT as well as continue to work with IT directly...
Regarding "' To do otherwise is a sure sign of numbered days for IT, according to Lewis. After all, the standard 'run IT as a business' model had its origins in the IT outsourcing industry, 'which has a vested interest in encouraging internal IT to eliminate everything that makes it more attractive than outside service providers.'"
This sound like he is simply trying to keep IT jobs rather do what's best for the company. IT architecture and tasks should be transparent - and it should run smoothly. Outsourced IT is a pooling of IT resources and collaboration with peers....Whether its software based like Spiceworks or independent firms. In house IT know only one system. And one solution.
IT is losing its mystique and many tasks can be completed by node users as the use of networks etc become more familiar and common place. Keeping fulltime staff to monitor and do occasional maintenance is not cost effective. Cost effectiveness applies to everyone - including the janitors (which is why they are now outsourced).
so after reading a mess of comments here I wonder if they are storing the content with an ip or just processing it and pushing it back? Yes, this is a privacy concern, but so is copying copyright protected works. A random web surfer should be covered by Fair Use... but what if the entire document is copyied. (I do this when I know the source takes it off the web at a later date - mostly for discussing politics. I hate it when my sources disappear.)
We are never truly anonymous. Web server logs store every item we view and our ip address. I am not sure how this is a greater intrusion.
b) Parents are responsible for their children before anyone else. The choice should not be made lightly.
c) If one is so poor that they are eating stale bread and eating dirty water they are too poor to have any children. Simultaneously or consecutively. If one bears children in these circumstances, then they are abusing the children willfully and intentionally.
d) This applies in the US or Hungary. In 2010 or 1950.
If your point is simply these are the general persuasive conditions of 1950s Hungry then why should I care or have any sympathy!? Your analogy amounts to "Bob, stop complaining its hot in California - I, Gill, was born on the Sun..."
We are talking about change relative to our own culture. Hungary has always been at a different stage of economic and social development - never at the same stage as the US. Pulling some conditions abstractly out of time and location is a ridiculous argument. There will always be better or worse condition somewhere else.
In regards to children: People need to start being responsible for their actions and choices. I don't care where or when the live.
Forget about the cost of popcorn and soda... The biggest ripoff in the theater today are the 3D glasses. You have to buy them EVERY time. Even when you watch the same film twice! Getting a pair of 3D glasses is no problem... As for being seen wearing them, is that really an issue? People get off smelling and licking dirty feet! A pair of 3D glasses will probably just add to the turn on and sex-with-3D-glasses-on will become another fetish.
How many children should one have - simultaneously or consecutively - if one is so poor they are eating stale bread and dirty water soup!? I don't think the year effects the answer...
I agree with your comments about lack of competition.
However, what the hell is unrealistic optimism? What happend to AIM high? Everyone I know is on Prozac. No one I know has an ounce of optimism. I'd say if there was a general problem regarding optimism in American society is that too many vocal people - and people who make things happen lack optimism and are always advocating compensation for their pessimistic viewpoints.
"We had one neighbor, Piotr, who had several children." If he was poor, why did he have "several" if any children? People who have children and cannot afford them create their own circumstances. Was Piotr unable to do basic math?
I am with you. But any sci fi written today will be about the environment and health care - a dated subject. I'd like to see A Brave New World made into a serial.
LOL - r u serious? Try some news sources other than Slashdot... Unions demanding raises in the middle of recessions without increasing productivity or responsibility? Outrageous exec pay and bonuses; Students demanding free or subsidized education; Students demanding buildings stay open 24 hrs without contributing extra fees to for staff; Demands for free health care services providing by taxing others; it goes on... everyday.
"Real data on inflation" doesn't not negate a sense of entitlement - PLUS, you are arguing that because of inflation, the wages are actually lower - thus the workers are *entitled* to more money. You have provided the first hand data that people have a sense of entitlement!!!!
There is also a problem with what Americans expect to be paid. They want the same wages and benefits out of high school our parents took 30 years to achieve. American labor has a bloated sense of entitlement. American's think they deserve free stuff. There is plenty of room between American wages and Chinese or Indian wages.
LOL unions, minimum wages, mandatory cost of living increases and living wages have killed guilds and apprentice programs. Apprentice programs are kinda like a draft. You have to discard your individuality and open your mind to the masters. You have to start from the bottom and work yourself up, build yourself up, and toughen yourself up. All these concepts are foreign to America's youth (and people who ridicule athletes and organized sports).

BNW a serial? I'll have to look for it for the sake of looking. I know there was a movie that was kinda crappy.
MTV might make Dawn of the Dead a series... read that this weekend. Also, check out Hulu for Kirill
