This is the silliest comment I've read yet about elections: when I vote for my city's mayor, it's not on the same time and date as when I vote for my MPP/Premier,or MP/Prime Minister, or other higher office. Why the hell would it?
You make it sound like no one else in the world votes for other local offices!
Incorrect. It was always "Episode IV", as a nod to the old serials Lucas loved as a kid (and was supposed to make the audience feel like they were dropped in the middle of something). The subtitle "A New Hope" was added for re-release prints when "Empire Strikes Back" was confirmed for production.
Right, so stick with the old version like I do. I run Photoshop 7 on a MacBook Pro under Rosetta's emulation, and nothing I've seen in the years since it was rebranded to CS/CS2/CS3 has convinced me that I need to upgrade.
Dude! I did that in my PCjr! Had that thing maxed out to 640k (used to run Infocom games by copying the whole floppy info to a RAM disk, then using the floppy only for the save games; ran hell of a lot faster, let me tell you), added the NEC chip after a few years. Had that thing as my main computer for 7 years, at which point I got a used 20MHz 386SX.
Yeah, right. Tell that to the millions of people who have had one. It's not like it's a new problem, suddenly springing up because computers were invented.
Will "a rather pointless waste of time" fit on a postcard? I guess I'm not 'hip' enough to care about Twitter, it all seems a bit pointless for anyone who's not some interweb celebrity.
However, this is a poor and ugly hack compared to the "keyboardability" of Windows.
Oh, no argument from me there. Windows was really primarily designed to offer mouse-less use, going waaay back to the earliest days. The Mac was always primarily mouse-driven, and shows it.
You may need QT Pro for this, but if you Command-J to get the movie advanced options, you can enable or disable every track present, including audio and video tracks.
There are hardcore fans out there who'll be satisfied with nothing less than a word-for-word, line-for-line, scene-for-scene recreation of the comic book.
Right, so screw 'em, they'll never be happy with anything that doesn't match what they've built up in their heads. They can exercise their freedom of choice and not go. I didn't like the new Star Wars flicks, but I chose to see them for myself and formed my opinion afterwords.
Apple, for absolutely no fucking reason, won't let you navigate many things with the keyboard in their OS that Windows will.
To that end, you can turn on "Full Keyboard Access" and navigate to your heart's content.
Now, will someone please tell me why in 2008 there's no Windows keyboard shortcut (like the Mac's Command-N (in pre-OS X) or Command-Shift-N) for a new folder?
And, no, navigating file menus with the keyboard does NOT count.
I did a 2 week trip to China last year, the return flight's around 12 hours. I essentially ate when they came around with food, slept a whole lot, and found on my return that I was pretty much back to EDT. I went out for beer & pizza, went to bed at my usual time, and woke up the next day at a normal hour, and just got back into my normal routine right away. Same thing heading over, except the flight was split into 2 legs so took longer.
a delightful term I learned from my UK counterparts. Essentially you're still under employ by the current company so cannot do work for your new one or any competition, and you relax at home while getting paid. It's like paid vacation, except not, since you could theoretically be called in to work at any point.
AKA. request to work from home if your access is revoked, since you can't do anything at that location now anyway.

But would the push for Power/PPC have happened, and would the G4/AltiVec debacle still have happened? Makes one wonder.

2d10, it's a percentage modifier.
If it's anything like a crystal skull, it'll only be selectively magnetic, like when you look directly at it.

Intellectual property is as real as the money you use.
The "Don't buy Rev A." only applied to hardware. Me, I don't see any advantages over 10.4, so I'm sticking with that as long as I can.
And the solution to that is to not sign unfavourable contracts, or DIY. It's not like arists today don't have a choice.

Yeah, Kristen Bell is mad hot!
What did Steven Spielberg have to do with "Star Wars," a George Lucas picture?
Read that as "When the world is mine, your death will be quick and pantless."
Kinda skews things a bit.
I don't understand the point of "acquiring" them in the first place, let alone having 10 other computers lying around. Let old, useless junk lie.
"Three strikes and you're out!" makes a lovely catchphrase but is ridiculous is actual use.
:P
How about 2, 5 or 10 minutes in the penatly box?
The first big hack I heard about years ago was getting MAME on some early Kodaks. Now THAT is silly & fun!
