I personally wouldn't want my library rated by others. it honest doesn't take any time to rate music. In Itunes put it into party shuffle and don't check 'Play higher rated songs more often' and then every time you remember check itunes and rate songs. after awhile your music will be rated.
agreed. I have always wondered that myself. I am sure if their Jesus was around today, he wouldn't be christian. According to the story of Jesus in the Bible, he was the type that would listen to anyone and their ideas and not judge them. Todays christians on the other hand enjoy telling others of the torment that will happen if thy don't convert and how they will burn in the fiery pits of hell. While this is not the case of all christians by far, it is the case of the vocal minority.
if they were to sell there server/mainframe line to anyone I would think it would be Unisys, but honestly I don't see IBM selling it since it fits into the whole IBM solution business model
I think I remember that they did have to modify Quake 1, due to various licensing issues. I would expect that this would be the same thing with Quake 3. Might not be that difficult since 90+ of the code was made by ID.
That's because macs are designed for people that want to get work done, rather than fight the OS. Think of all the problems people have with PCs such as viruses, spyware, application uninstall problems, the registry. Sure you can have problems on Macs but they are usually user and application specific and I would say that 95% of all application problems are related to some kind of plist file that just needs to be removed.
yes Apple is masters of UI design, but I'm sure they hate programming for an OS such as Windows and they program like 85% of the software of windows and sure make the software works only half of the time (just to make sure windows users feel more at home)
You have to ask that question? No matter where I have worked upper management always gets high end computers that they will never use, and at the same time the person that needs the system gets a system that is rather underpowered for what he/she needs.
Thank you, that was very helpful. But I am sure the MPAA doesn't like to talk about it. Now I do read this also as problems like Decss would be illegal still, but owning a copy of it would not be as long as you do not distribute the program.
Where is this "Fair Use" provision. because if there is one then I sure as hell haven't seen it. According to the DMCA breaking copy protection is still breaking copy protection, even if it is for "personal use/backup purposes".
No it is because people who buy own an Apple know (or should know) that in order to get the most up to date features they will need to upgrade to the newest version of the OS.
I think I have used the several Google Map widgets and I have never liked them. Any you might recommend? But then again the Google Map widget takes up lots of space and well my dashboard is full of other more usefull widgets.
I honestly love exposé, sometimes you just lose track of a window and can't find it any more and I don't want to have to put everything in the dock and then open it up one by one. I'm still wondering what Leopard will have in store. I honestly can't wait.
microsoft is not the only one who hides files for the user to see. Apple has been doing this for a long time. Take for example an application such as iPhoto or even firefox. All the user sees is the Program name but it is a collection of files (a package if you will). The main reason why microsoft or even apple does it is because 99% of all users don't want to see certian things such as the content.ie5 folder or in macland see every little file that makes up an application and then have to drag each file over to Applications.
See I am going to wait a few days and see if Apple releases any fixes for it before installing it. But a person I work with installed it and I really like the look of the Widget manager. I didn't get a chance to use his system to find out if the speed increased or anything, but in a few days I probally will.
For me it is the exact opposite, I have a PC at home, and work on a Mac at work. I am used to the whole one button mice thing, but I don't care that much for the apple mouse, no matter which one it is, so I use a two button logitech at work for the simple fact that I do not like the default mouse.
I am going to assume you mean the IPod in which case all the other ones are crippled as well, for not supporting/finding a way to license AAC, APLE, etc. Now having said this I would love to see the IPOD get OGG support, maybe even quicktime movie support. maybe just turn it into a multimedia PDA.
Maybe so, maybe in the "business professional" world, whatever the hell that is, but most companies now days don't care a whole lot as long as you turn the off to vibrate/silent. The only time I ever have my phone set to an audio alert is when I am expecting an important phone call.
Now as long as you want to limit the phone to only having one background, and one ringtone lets also remove text messenging, camras, wireless internet, bluetooth, etc.
Do you think people will like this? Probally not, the same way people won't like the removal of ringtones, or desktop pictures, etc. Now people are idiots if they pay for them when you can get a data cable and transfer them over to your phone with a cost of maybe $10.
Are you trying to say that Christians haven't slaughted muslims, jews, various other religious groups, etc over the years? Because if you think they haven't then you are very ignorant

how exactly is that a cheat code? it isn't anything that special. Now if you had to use the Konami Code to change the language then I would say it was a cheat code.

reminds me of the instant penis enlargement device. Overnight it will grow by 2.54 times.

The mac mini will be fine. The system has no fans and very quiet. In fact in the only time I hear mine is when it is reading a CD.

I am honestly suprised that Google's homepage doesn't say beta. Everything else does, be it news, groups, mail, Scholar, Froogle, maps, etc, etc.
It doesn't matter to me much, and I sorta understand Google's thinking of not wanting to remove it from beta.

E has had shadows since DR15 first came out I believe. I don't remember the year for that, but E16 first came out in 2000.

no, but if i needed to learn it to use a system, then I would have no choice but to either learn it, or fail trying.
