But when all you want is 2TB of storage which can sustain 100MB/s and has a good service contract from a company who isn't going out of business tomorrow...
The one minor problem with that... story... is that iTunes is based on the Carbon APIs, not the Cocoa APIs.
Obvious when you consider iTunes is (was?) available for OS9.
Course, they did port Pre-Carbon to Windows before (think QuickTime), and a simple update to the QTML media layer is all that would be required... although I would hope they would do a more native port.
The biggest UI faux pas is that the the oval is the same otherwise. A friend tells me on OSX, both mini version and large mode have the time slider. Grrr....
Your friend is lying:)
Another minor irritation is the inability to tell the length and number of multiple selections. When using the basic windows UI, selecting multiple items will show that x number of items are selected as well as the size of the total selection.
I agree, and have the same issue... minor though, I have a more annoying version of the problem in Apple Mail, when I'm interested in counting how much spam I've recieved today...
(i.e. will your preferences be accessed via the 'edit', 'tools', 'views', or 'options' menu, and will the selection be named 'preferences', 'options', 'config', or 'customize'.
And in the case of Visual C++ (which don't forget is the app the people who write this stuff use the most) all four!
(ie preferences can be found under "preferences" "options" "config" and "customize")
You want to have not told iTunes to keep your library sorted when you set it up. You can turn off that option in prefs.
Incidentally, now that I have all my MP3s ID3ed nicely I untick an retick that box to get itunes to auto rename and sort all my mp3s after I go on an ID3ing mission:)
Yes it is, but it's not apple's idea. ZeroConf is an open standard invented by the IETF
You see, its funny because ZeroConf is apple's idea. It was invented by Apple and submitted to the IETF (or whatever it is you actually do to turn your idea/standard into an IETF standard.
So basically, what that dev guide says is that if you want to find out which IP address to remap to NXDOMAIN, simply lookup *.com to get the IP Address used for the wildcard;)
Basically you can run a bunch of different type of programs on MacOSX
You can run Classic programs in Classic
You can run BSD terminal type programs
You can run Cocoa programs
You can run Carbon programs
You can run Java programs
You can run X11 programs
Plus all the scripting systems, Perl, etc
At the end of the day the "native" OSX programs are basically the Cocoa/Carbon programs, which are written to use all the OSX proprietry libraries and APIs.. such as Quartz... these are the truly native apps...
And all the other things allow OSX to run code which other unix platforms can run... or OS9 can run...
X11 isn't really an emulator, its more like another personality to OSX, which you may want to use *real* unix apps... with their crappy guis, and ungly fonts... because a *real* OSX version doesn't exist.
BUT the x11 version will be exactly the same as the x11 version on all x11 platforms (more or less)
and it won't be emulated, so in many ways *is* native... but not a *real* OSX app:)
I remember a place I used to work for, had a little G3 PowerMac server...
They got AppleCare on the server...
3 year warranty total...
This little server never crashed, and never had a problem, but it was classified as mission-critical;)
Soooo when the 3 year warranty expired, they renewed it again... 5 year warranty (turns out you can do that;))
Last I heard the warranty was due to expire again, and Apple won't renew it anymore...
So i'll be heading back there again to install a new XServe...
(I don't actually do this anymore, but they asked nicely;))
Its load hasn't really increased or anything... its just they want a sure-fire, no questions asked, parts and labour warranty on their little server...
I'm fairly certain that most shipping windows software doesn't use the best compiler. They merely use the compiler which comes with the microsoft development environment
Slashdot Mirror
Slightly metalic, with a hint of a whistle and definately less bright
Ooops, I soooo meant 1991 :)
Actually the technology is available.Sony calls it the i-Link and announced it already in 1999
:)
And Apple (who actually invented it in 1996) and the IEEE (who standardized it) call it FireWire.
I agree though. FW Audio should be the way
Hehe, that's not a low user number ;)
If by didn't, you mean specifically did
:)
Heh
I just knew that was coming
But when all you want is 2TB of storage which can sustain 100MB/s and has a good service contract from a company who isn't going out of business tomorrow...
then you can pay 9,000 or 90,000
Its a friggin massive radio-telescope. is it so hard to imagine needing 13TB to store the unprocessed data? :)
;)
perhaps they have two sets of 13TB disks and fill one while they process the other
The problem is really mp3 players which don't YET support ID3 :(
basically, manually sorting mp3s is such a waste of time
Did you perhaps get an old batch?
;)
Or perhaps you're just really really unlucky
Except run iTunes of course....
;))
(ps: that'd be a reason to upgrade for me if I was in your shoes

You could sync it first, then format it
That's probably do it

This stopped happening in mac itunes circa 3.x, I'd be surprised if it happened in the windows version now

Windows doesn't support aliases... moving a file tends to break any references to it
I'm not sure of any way around this
Hahahhaha
FUNNY

How nice of them

Anywho, i'm a fan of tcsh, probably because I learned unix on a UNIX boxes

Its supposed to prove that the G5 is now the fastest desktop system
;)
Duh!
I know what would use more power...
;)
think of the environment
