According to the submission.."As Steve Jobs once explained "it's in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough — that it's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing."" Well, No more. Apple's heart is tone deaf. IMFO..
Well, yes, i imagine they're just omitting it in their DNS server, as ISPs usually supply their own lookup, right? I doubt google dns would be an improvement. Surely they must already have gotten to those folks..
All these "simple" methods seem so complex and difficult to remember that no wonder people give up and go for the easy ones.. But, hey, there's a whole (virtual) room of geeks here.. can't SOME one think of a genuinely easy method? I for one, think we should be looking at tyhe genuine failings of technology and use that to advantage.. We,may finally have taught Big Blue to play a good game of chess, but it still can't tell a joke like O.scar Wilde or wit like Mark Twain. So it stands to reason , and it most certainly cannot lie down to reason, that a joke would make a perfect PW, as long as it's never been heard before....
Despite it all, whether his firing is justified or not, although it obviously is, it's true that he was the ONLY reason I watched Top Gear BBC..Obviously he had enough editorial clout to apply his brand of hunor, thereby making the show effective in ways that the US anbd Australian ones were not. A perfect example is, and to this day I STILL can't get it out of my mind, his driving the "world's smallest car" into the BBC building, and through the hallways, into the elevator, and into the studio! Also, the point made earlier here about BBC not accepting advertising allowed Clarkson to indulge in his particular brand of savage wit on any otherwise "untouchable" make or model.. which is still impossible elsewhere as even the American public Broadcasting System is occasionally funded by foundations associated with the auto industry.. So with him gone, you have just another car show. Luckily, all the episodes are available for free download. By the BBC, itself, on Youtube. So why they got choked about that "Final Gear" hosting torrents of those very self same episodes.... beats me..
Great tips. I have the same problem. Typing on keyboard is hell.Prople think I have bad ghrammar and spelling because I cant type easily but I have to correct every other letter. It takes forever. This sentence took me 3 minutes. I do a lot of photoshop and what I have found is use as big a monitor as possible and zoom in to 400 to 600 %
Brilliant, they really duped my by removing the ever recognizable Lisa Kudrow, and posting it on youtube claiming it was from a robbery in south boston and the police were hoping someone could ID the suspects..... well done on their part.
Typical brain dead you tuber post.. I'd estimate half of YT posts are ripoffs from official videos, just like this. in fact, it is THIS that copyright laws exist to prevent.. this is real theft.. posting something and claiming it as your own. Yet they don't go after these people, except in the occasional , but all too common, case of plagiarism in university theses...but instead focus solely on music or film downloaders.,
She likely had a Lisa to work with for development, the icons in that UI were abysmal and it's hard to tote around a $10K / 40lb desktop machine when the muse visits. Many artists to this day still work with paper. Shocking, I know.
Thought she used paper and pencil for development. Never got NEAR a computer until she was ready to scan them in..
I also used Macs from way back, when they were way way expensive, and yet the keyboards I had never had any F1- F12 keys.. You would think for what they charged they could have included that, along with a second mouse button. Also, I absolutely , still to this day, just love Susan's icons. I can't explain why they project such a friendly aura, but they do.
Given that I don't like bloat, no, Vivaldi holds no interest for me. I don't need a swiss army knife to browse the web. I need a stable, fast web browser with support for my chosen extensions.
Er.. Swedish Army Knife...:-) And.. if I had been a little bit more attentive, I would have caught on to the "Vivaldi" : "Opera" connection. And then not bothered to read the article. Hate Opera.
I absolutely HATED Opera. More bloated every year, and as far as firsts, the first to have a big advertising banner. I liked Mozilla but when they started changing the name every other issue, I lost interest. Never liked Firefox - I never found it to be remotely fast, buit rather a sluggish pig... When I was using windows and classic Mac OS, I stuck to Netscape. On Windows for quick browsing I used only something called ?one by one? (can't remember what it was called now, but it was quick). Same as on OSX, until it became unusable, Camino. All sorts of compatibility issues with Safari ( "please update your browser"), unfortunately, still have , with Java..! Tried Opera *twice* on OSX . Hated it. Same with iCab. Bottom line here is, most browsers SUCK. Finally, I stuck with Chrome from almost the day it became available for OSX, happily, until I found Torch.. Best broewser ever, but sadly, out of date now..
Up until around OSX 10.4, Macs used *both* extensions and internal type/creator codes.. meaning that if you deleted the extension, the file woiuld still be recognized for what it was. Around the time Apple dropped power PC support, extensions were used exclusively, just like earlier versions of windows. Should you delete the extension, OSX is completely unable to identify the file.
Well, what that means is it's back to harddrives if you don't want to lose your data.. since any cloud service that doesn't toe the line will be bullied into bankrupcy.. and your data lost with it. I'm going to back up all my Mega backups.. and that's all I've used it for, is backups..
Ah.. classical economics.. where everything made sense. You must have been reading some mighty old textbooks. Don't let your prof see you reading anything other than neo-classical economics texts these days.. or the idea that money actually "trickles up" might caatch on again.. Can't have that now. Back near 100 years ago, the cabals of the wealthy got together and, based on their experience from the depression, realized that the financial impact to them of an entire segment of society being in dire poverty was catastrophic. In order to preserve what they had and to keep complete social breakdown from occuring, they realized the option of treating the problem with increased policing jails and hospitalization was more expensive by several *orders of magnitude* , whereas providing a no questions asked stipend for the poor, single moms (there were no single dads beck then) , the elderly, and sick was far less considering the benefits to them (the wealthy). Compassion wasn't a factor in the decision. Somewhere down the line, however, they got so wealthy that the conditions in society at large could no longer touch them, and so they stayed out of any debates where people started asking "why are we supporrting these poor, sick, and elderly freeloaders? "If they're poor it's because they're too lazy to work", and "if they're sick or elderly, they're just taking up hospital bed space that could be used by a deserving young person...." If they'd rather die than go to a welfare hospital, then let them die..all the better to decrease the surplus population." After all - "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?" "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?" (THX Mr Dickens!) So there's no surprise that since the purse strings for social sevices dried up, society has gone to rot. The Cabal of the wealthy knew the consequences of such actions, even 100 years ago...
I must be missing something here..how is the right to block or slow down my (or anyone's) connection a matter of 1st or 5th amendment rights, or in fact any kind of rights or freedoms? The ISP doesn't like what you're viewing or downloading? - Their preferred answer is to block it.. Doesn't sound very "fair" to me... Or is that the point? It seems like everybody's against both camps here, the new "neutrality" rules and the ISP preferences.. What I'm trying to figure out is what does the FCC (i.e. DHS/CIA) expect to get out of this?

Instead of "Please enter password" why not "knock knock who's there?" OTOH, maybe you'd simply have a million losers say "administrator" ;-)

Is this the beginning of what could become Star Trek-like replicators?
Yup... With due respect tho the other response below, the op said is this the *beginning* of startrek replicators. And yes. I think so.
What a pile of utter tripe. It's a frikkin SERIES.. that always belonged together. This is a non-sequiter for a /. post, IMHO..

The progress cursor.. the watch, was animated... the hands went round and round until the process was completed, or the mac froze up.

Really? I'd love to know how I can replace my lost 64 bit Vista disc..
OOps.. I meant "unless it's one of those ne of those double *height* HDDs" . Brainfreeze.. sorry
Unless it's one of those 3 &1/2" harddrives there's plenty of older ATA enclosures you can drop the harddrive into..
