Add it to the whitelist in the flash blocker plug in and its quiet. You can even play the game silent that way if you want. You are the big bad pro. Figure it out.
You have to know to turn off the "helpful" setting s like "Keep Media Folders organized" and "Copy files to iTunes media folder" then its safe enough. It always amazes me someone will turn a program like that loose on their music collection without having a backup, or at least checking the SETTINGS first. No matter WHO makes it.
I don't blame Windows users for hating iTunes, its not a fun experience on a Winbox. Its fine on an actual Mac, but on Windows its no fun at all, "Though what is?" When I used to use Windows I used Anapod Explorer from Red Chair software instead. It was cheap enough and gave that "drag and drop" experience the Windows crowd claims to want so bad.
So, basically, you are saying that anon trolls are insecure children who see everything in direct proportion to their "minuscule" pens size?
Thank you, I know understand the driving force of trolls. Explains a great deal really.
I only switched to Mac a few years ago, and I thought EVERYONE knew about Perian. It even negates the need for that stupid "Flip4Mac" garbage Microsoft wishes we would use.
I never have codec issues playing anything, or encoding for that matter.
Oh well, my bad. Not had a TV in some years, I knew they used to play the original series, did they play the three season Return to Earth made last year?
Gah, I hate that, I'm a gun owner, I have a permit, I carry a Glock 36 every day, and every time I get an earful of the classic "gun owners are evil" screed I hear the tale of the all plastic Glock, that no metal detector can see. I tell people there is NO SUCH THING, I show them Glock's website, I get blank stares, they just KNOW its real and I'm just a "bad ol liar" defending my horrible evil ways.
In the end I asked them where they heard about the magic invisible Glock, they just "read it somewhere" or "someone told them about it once" Its way more fun to believe than the actual truth.
Yeah, nobody wants Unix when they can have Windows 7. "Sarcasm"
Seriously though, Does EVERYTHING have to be about slamming Apple? Get over it already. This argument is dated as Kirk VS Picard.
There is enough room for everyone to have the OS that works for them.
It just seems recently EVERY thread no matter the topic is getting slammed with anonymous Windows fanbois out on a tear. Just get over yourselves, there is more than enough market. In the end everyone can use what they enjoy using. And you think WE are a cult? Pot-Kettle-Black. Anyway, who uses just one OS anymore?
In the silly Christian propaganda scare film "left Behind" the anti-christ is clearly seen using an old "Wallstreet" Powebook.
So not ALL the good guys use Macs. But then again, that depends on your definition of good guys.

Seriously though, they use Macs because they look great under harsh lighting. Most PC laptops aren't as photogenic under harsh studio lights. Under bright lights, shiny aluminum is still shiny, and black plastic looks like, well plastic.

If you wanted to see Red Dwarf Return to earth in the US, you didn't need cable you needed Bit-torrent. It was great. "And their parody of the godlike ability of computers to "enhance" was classic, and very tongue in cheek.
Sadly, except for a very lame attempt at an "American version" our television overlords don't consider Red Dwarf suitable for American markets, "or marketing".

There's no kind of atmosphere,

More or less."
I had been thinking of getting an Android Phone after my iPhone contract expires, but if they are going to force feed me flash, no thanks. I have been using not one, not two, but THREE Firefox plug ins to keep Flash from screwing up my laptop. I do NOT want this experience in my phone.
So unless the Android will have a simple way to remove flash, I'm going to have to stick with an iPhone. The dancing, talking, pop up, flash ad people who make our browsing lives hell will just have to find another way to choke my phone with unwanted content. Flash is a disease.
True enough, every time I get a little snicker out of the continued absence of Zunes and I kid about it with a non-geek, the answer I receive 90% of the time is "Whats a Zune?" That really does take the fun out of it. No schadenfreude to be had there.
Most non geeks I've spoken to have never even heard of a Zune. The only thing that seems to have failed worse for Microsoft than Zune, was Microsoft's marketing department.
Don't worry, we all wish Microsoft the best of luck with this, and I am sure it will be every bit the market leader that has made Zune a household word.

I need to point out its Apple MOBILE devices have the lockdown, NOT the computers. And I don't have to worry about my computer being randomly shut down from defective validations. Or quirky unreliable activation keys that may, or may not work.
My Macbook Pro, is for more open in what I can run or do than any Windows 7 "6.1" windows machine, and I'm not drowned in media company "content control". They day that Apple tries that with the actual COMPUTERS is the day my MBP gets Linux.
Do what I did. Stop giving them technical support.
I finally told my massive collection of free tech support scroungers that I won't do Windows anymore, ever. And that if they wanted my help with their computer problems I'd be happy to help them pick out a Mac OR put Ubuntu on their PCs. but never complain to me about Microsoft, or expect any Windows support. I refuse to clean up their MS messes anymore.
Its been fun, about half go Linux and half go Mac, I'm happy to help them find any non Windows solution. and so far, not a one has gone back.
OSX, I pay for it, it works. No problem. I buy the OS, I install it. I don't play "mother may I?" with a phone bank in Bangalore to turn my computer back on.
I had Leopard on a Dual core G4 500, took the hard drive out and dropped it in a G4 1.4 ghz, know what happened? It started, saw all the hardware and just kept going. Do that in a PC and see what happens. Constant activation issues is why I stopped using XP in the first place.
Microsoft, you pay for it, it fails, its the end users fault or the hardware manufacturer is to blame. It is NEVER the software, just ask them!
The difference between Mac and PC ownership is, Mac packs the pain of the purchase in the original buy, Microsoft just sleazes it on with all the "extras" you need later. I'd rather pay $1300 for a MacBook Pro that Ill have for the next four years, than $400 for an Acer that will fall apart and start jettisoning keys, trim, "even hard drives" at 13 months. I was given a one year old Acer recently from a fellow I converted to Linux who wanted a "cheap" computer, its on its second hard drive, the keyboard is disintegrating, and its had three power supplies. It was 13 months old. My old Macbook Pro is three years old, with its new owner, "my brother" where it will see ANOTHER three years of use. Other than some upgrades, the only thing I ever had to do with it was replace the keyboard.
When you go to a ballgame I bet you get the cheap seats.............
Ever hear of "States Rights?" This was about Lincoln's total disregard of states rights as defied by the US constitution. And it ended with the monstrous, and out of control Federal government we have now.
Most people today don't even KNOW what states rights means, or that there ever was such a thing.
Sure you can, its held in with one plug and a couple of y head screws and it just lifts out. They finally made it all easy to replace. And everyone sells aftermarket batteries. Usually better than stock. But I always let Apple replace the first one free. Why not? I paid for it.
To install Leopard on an "unsupported" G4 clocked under 867 MHz:
1. Reboot your Mac and hold down the Cmd-Opt-O-F keys until you get a white screen with black text. This is the Open Firmware prompt.
2. Insert the Mac OS X Leopard Install DVD.
3. Type the following lines exactly as shown below into the Open Firmware prompt. Be mindful of capitalization, spaces, zeros, etc. If the command is properly typed and understood, Open Firmware will display "ok" at the end of each line after you hit "return". What these lines do is set the CPU speed reported by Open Firmware to OS X as an 867 MHz G4 processor system. They then continue the boot from the DVD drive.

Well My Macs have a mute button on the keyboard, they have for years. F10. Hard to believe many Desktop PCs still don't.
Add it to the whitelist in the flash blocker plug in and its quiet. You can even play the game silent that way if you want. You are the big bad pro. Figure it out.
You didn't have a "Turbo" button on yours? Heh. A button to slow your computer down..... Try explaining THAT to today's teen gamer.
You have to know to turn off the "helpful" setting s like "Keep Media Folders organized" and "Copy files to iTunes media folder" then its safe enough.

I hate to break this to you, but multi-screen Macs are nothing new.

Did what? The POLICE charged them, not Apple. Apple so far has done nothing. Enough polemic.
@Blakey Rat "The Kin here is more like a Sidekick, that's who they're competing with."
The Microsoft Kin, is competing against the Sidekick, the company Microsoft already bought, and drove into the ground?
So what you are saying is Microsoft is building a phone to compete with themselves. At least they are finally competing with someone on even ground.

Leopard on a Dual core 500. I had to max the ram, and update the Video card a bit. "GeForce 4 from eBay" It was easy. Proof, and instructions below.

4. Continue the install normally.
Not the end of the world.
