Sad as it is, knowing what I know about how stuff gets done in Australia, I'd have to say, that its less likely that there is corruption involved, and rather that some public servants just can't be bothered actually preparing a list and authorizing its distribution to the public...
Can you run YellowDog, BlackLab or MacOS or even OSX on your x86 hardware?
Then again, VirtualPC5 is now out for OSX so you can install and run any x86 operatin system on OSX (and in fact as many as you want at the same time (given resource limitations, but this is a UNIX system after all;))
Probably because the game requires more people to work longer. Plus the game also requires these people to work after the release, and then the support.
Think about it for a second... you don't get patches or phone support from the RIAA...
Your 3 group band singing in a studio with a few producers etc etc for 12 months is not equal to the 8 programmers and 18 artists (including musicians) + 'menial staff';) that goes into a game.
Well, in MPEG circles it's generally agreed that codec (not an acronymn) stands for coder/decoder, a much more general term than compressor/decompressor
DIMMS instead of SODIMMs, that's roughly a 50% saving
3.5" instead of 2.5", another 50% saving
GeForce 2MX instead of Mobile Radeon thingy, another 50% saving;)
NO BATTERY
NO CHARGER
Okay, you use the same cpu, and peripheral controllers, but all the other components are significantly cheaper in an iMac as they essentially can use PC desktop components...
Normally they do use laptop mechansisms for the optical drive.
they deleted a part of the installer, it just happened to be a module.
That's normally how you crack software...
in fact, take a full version, get the free upgrade version, compare it against the full version, now release a patch to convert the upgrade to the full version.
That's what macfixit did.
Its just that there was only a very small difference... the "check" function...
Just like most software... removing the check function is what most software kRaCkZ do.
I don't know about in the US, but I'd be pretty sure that telling people that someone's car has the keys in the ignition and is absolutely waiting for you to just step in to it and steal it is probably illegal in most sensible countries...
Slashdot Mirror
Flamebait?
This is the correct and honest view of most australian's that I know.
Damn.

heh, public servants
What's even funkier, on an OSX box login as ">console" with no password.
:)
The gui will immediately shutdown and you'll be sent to the true console
very nice.
Once you've logged in, you can exit to get back to Aqualand
After 3ivx D4 is released
Hmmmm
Depending on what you mean, you can...
Debian also has a distribution for PowerPC
;))
don't forget BlackLab...
OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD...
Hell, some of my older macs can even run BeOS...

Ummm
;) that goes into a game.

A game is larger than an audio cd.
Another interesting point is that it comes down to the counting to...
The example I like to use is that someone gets busted for marijuana, they have 8 seedlings in a potting mix (or whatever)
Little 4 cm sprouts with a leaf or two.
Of course the newspaper article will talk about 8 plants were seized with a street value of 16,000AUD
You see, a plant == $2,000AUD to the australian police.
And the seedlings are plants.
heh,
there is no codec for WMP
Well, in MPEG circles it's generally agreed that codec (not an acronymn) stands for coder/decoder, a much more general term than compressor/decompressor
the poor airport reception was more than fixed, it was obliterated in Rev. 2 :)
:( )
Now the new TiBook's best even the original iBook's airport range (the old ones were pathetic at airport

Okay, it was 250Mhz and May 1997 :)
:-P
But it was a 603e
anywho, here... pictures + facts about the twentieth anniversary mac
The 20th Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) was an all in one flat panel mac.
:)
:)
Of course, it used laptop components and was hell expensive.... and very very cool
But its been done before, and by Apple, and YEARS ago.
The thing had a 66mhz CPU (or some such) if that puts it in perspective for you...
And it came with a BOSE sub
I just had to say it, karma be damned :)
:)
Now that LOTR is almost out this gives us something else to lookforward to
Yeay..
(you who is not yeaying, go away)
Okay,
;)
do that then
Hack your CD Firmware...
PS: cd firmware doesn't work like that
I don't know...
you tell me...
if you walked into a store, saw something you wanted, it was XXX dollars
and you bought it
later the store calls you, you get on well, they tell you they only charged you XX dollars instead of XXX dollars.
What do you do?
1) say, bugger, I'll be round in the morning...
or
2) "screw you!"
Me, I go for one...
but I'm a nice person.
If OSX 10.1 is a service pack, then so was Win98
hmmmmm
Bah, 10.1 rocks, go buy a mac.
The entire OS was updated.
The entire OS was updated.
Thus the update is a full OS.
1) you can't unselect it
2) its not optional

Probably the same reason its illegal to publish full serials for Windows XP (does it use serials?)
...
and is it illegal?
"by putting this serial into the demo version of the app you can turn it into the full version for FREEE!!!!"
that sounds mighty like a web warez popup site thingy...
I don't know about in the US, but I'd be pretty sure that telling people that someone's car has the keys in the ignition and is absolutely waiting for you to just step in to it and steal it is probably illegal in most sensible countries...
"Inciting to steal" or something,
The only way to "turn off the package" is to delete it from the Update CD.
How you going to do that without making a copy of it?
Yes, Absolutely right.
:)
Damn... I'd love to have some mod points right now...
Well, right now I would've anulled them anyway
