I don't think this guy has used Leopard or Vista
on
Leopard as the New Vista?
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
I've had Vista Premium 32bit since it was released. I use Vista Business 64bit all day, every day at work. I've had Leopard since the third ADC beta release and am currently running 10.5.1.
Every time I restart Vista at least 2 of the Media Center services crash on startup. After restarting them 2-3 times each they tend to stay running until the next time I restart Vista.
After years of trying Microsoft has successfully destroyed Windows Explorer. It doesn't update directory contents regularly. It doesn't have a "up one directory" button. Seriously? It's a file manager not a web browser. Let me have a up one dir button, please. Vista networking is slow, unreliable and the smallest configuration task is hidden behind 20 levels of pretty glass bars.
Leopard on the other hand is faster and more stable than Tiger ever was. The networking picks up windows, linux and afp file shares more reliably and faster than Tiger. Spotlight is faster and seems much more responsive. The user interface does have useless new features. New features that you're free to ignore. Stacks is a waste of time. Time Machine doesn't have a tremendous amount of value to me. The dock and menu bar are translucent now. Obviously, these new features draw value away from OS X.
What draws value away from Vista is the fact that tons of software and hardware still doesn't work with Vista a year after it's release.
I'll take useless new features and system stability over bad hardware/software support and the dumbing down of user interface components.
Your husband (the most powerful person in the world at the time) got a blowjob from an ugly intern, he blew his wad on her dress and defouled a fine cigar. And then lied about it on national tv.
What did our children learn from that experience.... Other than women that are with powerful men have to put up with such nonsense.
I mean, they're using national newspapers as sources. Most of the papers are regarded as liberal or left wing. But really, I doubt the Weekly Standard is going to do any stories on the fact that Fox News doesn't quite fit with "Fair and Balanced."
Theoretically you could hold the same thing up for any form of media: online, print, tv. If people stop reading or viewing it because they think it's untruthful ad sales go down and it dies.
I hold out CBS, Fox News and Michael Moore documentaries as examples that prove you wrong.
CBS did a story that was proven wrong. They apologized. The left still loves them, the right hates them now.
Fox News. Need I say more. The left still hates them, the right still loves them.
Michael Moore is really just in here to be a balance. Some think his stuff is true, some think it isn't. The left loves him, the right hates him.
There are plenty of media outlets that survive because the wacko leftists and rightists will support it because no matter how wrong it is it's inline with their beliefs.
What's up with the name.... Fahrenheit 911 was, at least, a very witty title on a lot of levels. This is just stupid. The temperature the brain starts to die???? Do they know this from personal experience with our current President? Or from all our soldiers standing in a foreign desert far away from their families. Michael Moore may well be a left-leaning spin-doctor but at least he's good at it. If Bush actually wants four more years he's going to have to do a little better than this.
Really, it's a brilliant idea. ISP's costs are hardware and bandwidth to the internet. If all of their customers are running P2P then the software will, if properly programmed, use other Earthlink customers sharing the file before resorting the the internet. Thus lessening Earthlink's bandwidth costs. It's better for the customers too as pulling from someone inside your network will probably give you better speeds than pulling from someone in Russia.
It's a brilliant idea, until RIAA lawyers figure out how to get conspiracy charges to work in P2P lawsuits.
The washington post ran the exact quote in their washington morning edition. Later in the same article quoting a senator they replaced the word asshole with *expletive*.... Explain that one to me....
I had the same problem a few months ago, only I was working with sales people. I found the remote with the longest range and the least buttons. PocketPoint RF. I think the company that made this was bought by InFocus but it's still the same product. Incredible range, long battery life and it only has two buttons.... Plus the laser pointer.
Panther's Mail.app is by far the most usable, configurable mail application I've ever used. It's got all the usability and more of Outlook 2k3 without the high probability of having your computer trashed by virii.
I was ready to hit up the local apple store and buy this puppy and an iPod. Oh well.
I work as a photojournalist at a local newspaper, just about to switch to digital photography. It would be great to have a small multipurpose device to backup a compact flash card but ~22 minutes for a 512MB card? Half-time at a football game isn't even that long...
My USB 1.1 card reader doesn't take that long...
I certainly hope they fix this problem. This looked as though it could have been yet another killer app for the iPod.
I had the same problem with one of the betas. I started with Filevault on, thinking that I would rather have it incrementally encrypt files as I brought them into my home directory instead of waiting for it to do them all at once. It worked great for a few weeks, seemed a lot more stable then the previous build so I didn't upgrade to the next released build. Then all of a sudden I turned my computer on, tried to log in and it sat for 10 minutes doing something. Finally I got impatient, figured I had a journaling file system and did a hard reset. Ooops. When the PowerBook came back up my username and password worked but my home directory was empty.
That wasn't the result I was hoping for.
Filevault is one of the most touted features. I'm sure it works great, never tried to crack it.
Maybe they shouldn't have implemented secure delete and FileVault all at the same time. They seem to work a little too well together.
The D2H is aimed at newspaper or online (read: not magazine) photographers that shoot sports among other things and have a quick turnaround time.
The 4MP is plenty for newspapers.
8 fps is great for sports shooters.
When you're shooting 8 fps at 4MP per frame Compact Flash cards fill up quick. I personally would rather spend $300-500 once for the little wireless attachment than $250 a pop for 5-10 512MB Compact Flash cards.
Most digital photographers have laptops in their car at the event they are photographing. Having a PTP wireless network between your camera and your car unloading your CF cards on the fly would be nice.
At events that you have to park more than 300 meters away chances are, eventually, they'll have an access point set up.
Bottom line: It's going to be a nice perk unless Canon makes one too.
Anyone else think this might be a move to cover their ass if SCO wins?
I'm not saying that's the only reason but I bet it factored in somewhere. Those retail boxes aren't cheap and they aren't flying off the shelves but you're going to get in a lot less trouble if you are giving something away than selling it to the public at BestBuy...
it was actually supposed to read alum-alloy-peltier-inter-cooled-turbo-charged-9-co mputer-controlled-fan-monstrosity. Apparently someone got a little crazy in the editing room and crushed my joke on the new PowerMac g5's
Has anyone thought of the VR that could be built with this. Sounds like you could change any room in your house into a holodeck if you have this LCD paint.

Just tweak it until your happy and then ghost it to a backup drive. When it gets filled with cruft wipe and restore.
Online shoppers aren't impulsive because there's no benefit to being impulsive.
If you are impulsive at Fry's or EB you get to play with your new toy right after buying it.
If you buy it online the soonest you're going to get it is the next day. Kinda kills the impulse to buy before researching....
Not to mention the fact it's a lot more of a PITA to return it.
Why not just get that RFID chip removed from the back of your neck...

Is this good enough?

Dan Rather apologized during the evening news. CBS News Story
The height of irony, critize a journalist for getting his facts wrong and in the same breath get your facts wrong.
I expect an apology.

Bricolage
Used by Salon, MacWorld, etc.
I started working with it for a newspaper website. It's solid, configurable and very open to design.
What I mean to say is.... I for one welcome our new genetically engineered feline overlords.

It's called Steam. Made by VALVe. It seems to work for the most popular online game in the world.

Yes, but Virginia still has the death penalty...
Maybe it's wishful thinking, maybe I'm still hurt about the small penis references.

Why don't they just implement some sort of Karma program like slashdot. Almost a global d/l u/l ratio.
Of course someone would find a way to hack it.
