Yeah, but they needed to drop firewire to become big, now they're already big. Apple and Intel together can do a pincer movement: Intel puts it in their chipsets putting the tech in the latest PCs and Macs, Apple puts it on iPods and makes some extra dough on the side selling an overpriced USB adapter to people with old computers but new iPods. Apple and Intel together are an enormous market presence, if the tech is good they can push it through if they want to.
Ridicule is never the answer. I used to be fat myself and I'm still very self conscious about my body even after losing a third of my total weight. My niece who wasn't even fat, just a little chubby, got anorexic after too many comments about her looks. Ridicule for most people destroys self esteem which is often the problem in the first place.
They claim it's pretty durable, of course the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. "The cables themselves are durable, Ziller said: "You can tie a knot in it and it'll still work.""
They will have a hybrid copper/optical wire to power devices : "In addition, Intel said it's working on bundling the optical fiber with copper wire so Light Peak can be used to power devices plugged into the PC, he said."
Yet people somehow manage to deceive themselves into thinking they'll be better about these things than Apple. At least with an Apple device you get to look trendy while being fucked over.
Well, It's the capital and so it holds a lot of the administration, archives, symbolically important buildings and sites. You'd expect an enemy to strike against your capital if only to show they can. It's also a port and a distribution hub. And I'm not pro German, in fact the city I live in was hit by v2 rockets *hard* (we were a strategic port too) and I don't dispute both sides were bastards. The operative word being "both".
The same goes for any war. In fact I don't think there's a country in Europe left that hasn't committed despicable acts in one of their wars (maybe Lichtenstein).
Snow Leopard has improved shutdown time by basically killing applications if they are in a clean state : "To support improved shutdown, your application needs to mark itself as "dirty" or "clean," depending on whether it has unsaved changes and needs to do work before quitting, or can be terminated without further notice. When the system shuts down, clean applications are terminated (via SIGKILL) without further interaction."
But in most small OSS projects the developer *is* the user, at least at design stage. Most developers don't write code to help the community, they write it because they enjoy doing it and/or need it done. Then, they help the community by release the source, when it's too late to make design decisions.
That's the problem. Take cooking for example: if I'm just preparing food for myself the result is likely completely different then when I'm cooking for friends. The basic goal in both cases is the same : make food but the end result is oh so different. That's because when cooking for others you care about the garnish, the atmosphere and the process and not just about the nourishment. What these developers are often telling is to enjoy the ramen they cook for themselves or become a chef.
Of course we used to have stuff to read. My Amiga came with a book that explained everything from how to plug in the computer to what dialogs are to the command line. When I bought Snow Leopard the other day I got a fold-out with marketing BS.
This is an old problem too, it's not like desktop apps have never unexpectedly quit after locking a DB record. The method you describe has been tried & tested for many years.
I'll take your word for it. I was led to believe (by documentaries here on the continent) it's rather obscure and most people don't know that its morality is seen as controversial. But so much the better.
Yeah it's too bad for Dresden, where, you know, munitions were being manufactured and all. It's not like the Germans made it a point to bomb civilian London nightly or anything.
First off, Dresden had industry which was of minor importance at best and a lot were already moved out of the city, not at all comparable to a strategic target such as London. Secondly there's a word for leveling a city (indiscriminate bombing of civilians, some report specifically targeting civilian over infrastructure targets) to achieve a minor goal : warcrime.
What boggles me is that Mao isn't universally hated... Or why Lenin's body hasn't been
For the same reason Andrew Jackson and others aren't reviled for the Trail Of Tears and other crimes against humanity. It was a long time ago and we put their actions in a historical context, they did a lot of good too and they were better than what went before.
The irony here is that if you had a broader sense of history, you'd understand that of all the Axis powers of WWII that committed massive, systemized and widespread atrocities, only the Germans fully own up to their past and their history. While the Japanese have almost managed to sanitize their own history books, the Germans made a field trip to a concentration/extermination camp a mandatory part of their national education system, at least when I was there.
None of the allies has owned up to their atrocities either. The firebombing of cities (like Dresden) by the British and Americans, Japanese internment camps in the US, soviet ethnic cleansing, etc. I don't think it's Verboten in order to ignore history either but rather they are so ashamed of that part of their history they have effectively turned it into a taboo. "Nie wieder" (never again) isn't just idle talk for them (based on the germans I know at least.)

And what font to you use when you are writing a check out in your checkbook? And what font will you use when you sign legal documents? Make a bix "X"?
No, no matter what font, you still need a legal signature that is not computer generated?
No you don't. "This application will allow you to electronically sign documents by means of your electronic identity card (eID). First of all, the document you selected will be converted into a PDF document. Then, it will be signed electronically by means of your eID. "

Why apple wouldn't choose to use 10 Gigabit Ethernet instead?..
Partly because the first iteration will be 10 Gigabit but the next generation will be 100 Gigabit.

Put it on iPods and it becomes ubiquitous almost immediately. They could charge extra for a usb cable or dock.
Yet people somehow manage to deceive themselves into thinking they'll be better about these things than Apple. At least with an Apple device you get to look trendy while being fucked over.
Because you never need an adapter for USB right ?

Sure, Apple did it. Nothing at all to do with the most popular OS vendor not supporting it until 2008.

Wow, the more things change the more they stay the same. I remember people swapping out kickstart chips on their Amiga to upgrade from OS1.3 to 2.0

Well, ideally, they'd be able to get excited about doing it differently, maybe doing it better.
