as discussed in numerous articles - google is your friend - attenuation and interference on audible frequencies is so negligible, it is physcially impossible to detect it.
really worried about shielding? just use an RF choke, problem solved.
yea, it really sucks when people get the compensation they deserve for producing great works! the nerve of that man! movie producers deserve all the money in the world. all that work they have to do surely justifies the stranglehold they have on the creative medium known as movies.
if you read the article (which it appears you neglected to, surprise surprise) Mr. Jackson claims that new line basically sold away the merchandise rights without taking bids, which would have resulted in millions of more dollars being made. a poor business decision no doubt, since it resulted in significantly lower profits.
the writeup itself is also flawed, as the NYT is using an anonymous quote from one of the parties involved, ostensibly the defense, which is against its own policies regarding anonymous quotes.
In my new quest to be a helpful, productive member of society, I have submitted your name, phone number, favorite country harboring terrorists and your desire to become a recruit to my nearest recruiting office. I even took the interview and signed the papers for you.
-Home Theater: Some jackass talking during the movie? Feel free to smack them, since its a family member or friend. Theater: Ask someone in a theater to be quiet and you might end up in the dumpster out back with some extra ventilation in your chest.

and? the KHTML license does not require them to provide a CVS repository, and previous to this the tarball that apple provided was within the legal requirements.
they were not required to do so.
do you know that apple wasnt planning to do this all along? after all darwin was released long before osx went gm. perhaps they just hadnt gotten around to it, and this hulabaloo merely accelerated the process.
modern canon printers have what the call a "lifetime" printhead.
the modern (starting with the 950/850/550, possibly earlier) lineup does not have printheads which are available to the public. period. if the printhead assembly clogs you are at the mercy of whichever canon tech support monkey you get on the line.
Would Apple have done this had they not complained?
would they they have known it was a problem?
if a tree falls on a hippie in the forest, does anyone care?
we can go on like this all day. Grandparents point is that apple is going out of their way to appease a relatively small (even in opensource terms) group of people. Kudos to them.
as someone who has had jobs designing pages in the past, i cant say that the desire to have pages rendered as i wrote them is unjustified.
i spent hours on pages only to get nasty emails from people about some functionality not being supported in netscape 2.01 (this was 2001) and goddamit they arent going to upgrade ever if they dont absolutely have to!
the reason i wanted the page to look the same is that i knew those people visiting the company page were going to judge a) me and b) the company i worked for on how the page looked and worked and whatnot. letting people muck about in the code itself doesnt bode well for webmasters inboxes.
definitely works on my powerbook, and is QUITE difficult to fix once youve changed it, as the option disappears and you have to quit/relaunch system preferences to get it to come back, as the mouse is now rotated and i think inverted too.
it was a serious question, ive never dealt with telco-type stuff before and the features that asterisk and the other offer are very interesting, but i dont see the point of using with only a single phone line over VOIP (which is what everyone seems to have their knickers in a twist over).
bullshit. if your boss says nasty things about you which are not true, you can sue him for defamation and all sorts of other nasty discriminatory things - ESPECIALLY if it causes you to not be hired.
one of the other posts has it best - leave as cordially as possible and let future interviewers know that this manager was upset that you left.
very well, next time you fork a project enough to create a 6mb diff, it will be your personal job to explain to the original project maintainers exactly what you did, and why.
nevermind that you arent working on the same project anymore.
apple takes a project, puts a ton of work into it to improve features, usability, etc. and then tells the project developers what exactly they changed, and this still isnt good enough? as you correctly identified, it is a lot of work to pick that apart. the next step that you fail to take is that it was a lot of work to create those changes as well. explaining it to someone else would basically double the workload on the safari team.
perhaps they should be commenting every single line of code with "x was changed here so that foo would work in bar way without interfereing with baz"?
grow up, the grandparent hits the nail on the head - apple had to figure out what the hell KHTML was doing in the first place, and now that theyve got a superior product you expect them to handhold another group of developers to understanding what has been changed and why?

so youre saying people who are not blind would be completely incapable of using a machine that did not have a video interface?

if servers get slashdotted, and theres nobody around to hear, do they really melt?
Not to mention the transpod totally sucks balls.
I bought one for a friend of mine for her birthday. Might as well have burned the money, itd have been put to better use.

Best of luck in your new career.
Remember, its like a gym, but they pay you!
actually most theaters do have captioning, you just have to ask for the mirror thing that goes in your armrest.

just itll show up eventually, after some 31337 h4x0r posts it
being that the site is slashdotted, i cant RTFS.
however id surmise that complaints would date to 2004 because things sometimes happen in the past. just a guess though.
nearly all FW enclosures are basically just firewire to ATA adapters, so its really more like fast drive > slow drive

that, sir, is hot shit. thanks.

how is a single phone line going to be useful for running a PBX?
