That really is a ridiculous comment. What he means, obviously, is that the photos that most people have on their computers are their own, not some megacorp's, but the way he said it makes it sound ludicrous. As if copyright only applies to moving pictures....
That's only if you don't use the photo feature that you presumably paid an extra $100 to have. Battery life drops to 5 hours if you're watching slide shows while you listen to music. And they're warning customers now about the battery: "Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and the number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information."
Does anyone else think that this a bit overkill. 60Gb is a LOT when you are just talking about music and pictures.
So you're saying 40 gb ought to be enough for anybody?;^) Seriously, I agree, this is overkill, but not for the same reason. I'm happy to see bigger drives on these things, but I don't really understand the need to make this into a photo device too. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, and I could see how it could be useful (esp. coupled with a tool to transfer digital photos from card media directly to the ipod without the computer, so you could keep re-using the card during a long photo shoot), but the screen size on an ipod is way too small to actually make it a useful photo viewer. Hell, the LCD on my digital camera (Sony T1) is bigger than the ipod screen. I'm not sure it's worth the loss in battery life -- I think I'd prefer a 60G ipod without a color screen for $100-200 less.
Then again, like I said, this could be really useful for photographers, especially given the ability to easily connect the ipod to a TV or monitor to show the photos. Again, crucial here would be the ability to easily talk directly to the ipod without having to go to your mac to transfer anything.

I remember installing SuSE linux long ago on a ppc. The first thing I did once I got X running was fire up the gimp and doctor their logo so it said "Welcome to DuDE Linux...."
To answer your question, it looks like they've patched SuSE to run on the Cray Catamount Microkernel. Since there's no way in hell I'm going to buy one of these for my modest word processing and web browsing needs, I'm too lazy to look up what that actually is, of course.
Anyway, I run OS X these days. When I need Cray computing power, I don't need to spend no $2 million. I just fire up Desktop Cray and go to work!

Over half of you don't even know what Sender ID is or how it works.
What are you talking about? Why is that relevant? Didn't you see "Microsoft" in the article summary? And, as if that wasn't a clear enough message what to think, it also said "AOL." Sender ID is bad bad bad. Not only won't it work, it represents the most insidious kind of fascism. An open source solution would obviously be better, and more liberating.
(from the link): "Linus had planned to name the operating system "Freax - free + freak + x".
And how the hell is that pronounced? Who's got the mp3.... Good thing people never went with that name; linux never would have become popular. And if it had, RMS would be insisting that it be called "GNU/Freax - free + freak + x."
is not that he's flip flopping, but that if you're sufficiently nuanced in your argument, the American people tune you out. Have you actually read his speech in the Senate on the Iraq war vote? Or on the funding? His position was very clear then, and it has not changed. He said very clearly that he was voting to give the President war powers only if inspections broke down and only with the help of our allies. Now, perhaps he should not have voted for it at all, but that is not the issue here. He did not "flip flop" or change positions; today he says the same thing about Iraq. It's just a little more nuanced than "for" or "against," so you have to actually use your brain a little to figure out his position. A lot of us (Americans) don't like to have to do that.
That's stupid. Their methodology is clear and explained for anyone to critique. Their agenda is to get as accurate as possible a count of civilian casualties in Iraq. Their numbers are actually very low because their methodology is so rigorous. They only accept deaths that have been recorded in at least two news sources. The real numbers are probably significantly higher than what they report.
It is just not true that the US occupiers only shut down newspapers inciting violence. They shut one down that was the equivalent of the Weekly World News -- bizarre stories and rumors that everyone knew were untrue but read for entertainment value. A lot of anti-coalition rumors, but no incitement of violence. And they shut down Al-Jazeera! Boarded it up!! Say what you want about al-Jazeera, but they don't incite violence there!
He's not complaining but he is pointing to a significant (and to me surprising) note of hypocrisy coming from people who should know better. Perhaps they have pressure from other sources (record companies, lawyers) that prevented them from allowing sampling but it does seem really strange that of all people the Beasties and Chuck D would prevent it. Chuck D defended Napster back in the twentieth century, has released music under way less restrictive terms, and built his career on sampling (as did the Beasties).
Why does this need to be device to device? There's this thing called the Internet, and you can connect to it without a kiosk. An mp3 player with the ability to buy songs off wifi from iTMS (or wherever) would be a hell of a lot better than a kiosk. I mean, if I wanted to go to a kiosk to get music, why wouldn't I just go into, I don't know, a record store?
It will be a lot easier (and more cost effective) for them to (find and) sue the people posting the suggestion to slashdot than to find and sue the person who set them up in the first place....
The url was in the slashdot story. It doesn't take a brain to copy and paste it if you really wanted to click and go there.
By the way, the site does not resolve at all as of now (1:48 am in Los Angeles). I guess the slashdot story did lead to it getting taken offline one way or another.
...because the Democratic party, at a national level, has shifted far, far away from where they used to be.
I know everyone thinks this guy is a troll because he sounds so out to lunch. But it's all a matter of time frame. He's right, the Democrats have come a long way from where they used to be... in the 1860s.
On the first question, one never knows, but of course many have been predicting such an attack. Time is running out, however, and I'm guessing -- or perhaps hoping -- that we won't see much more than we've already seen.
On the second, the speculation among the experts that I've been reading is that an attack on U.S. soil would help Bush dramatically, while a major attack anywhere else in the world -- but particularly Iraq -- would hurt him. Of course, there are multiple terrorist attacks in Iraq every day now, so it would have to be something really dramatic.
The treatment is still in its infancy. It has helped with the Parkinson's disease, but the side effects have been a problem. Patients are overcome with the desire to wallow in their own feces.
I don't even have/Library/StartupItems. I can create it, sure, and then put whatever I want in it, but it doesn't exist on my system as default. This is 10.3.5

Socrates is a man
Therefore, all men are Socrates.
