My main computer at home is a dual G5 Mac. I use it almost exclusively. It is used for E-mail, documentation, PhotoShop, movie creation, etc. It's what I use. I switched over to Mac 100% at home about 2 years ago, but lately I've been regretting my decision and am starting the move back to Windows now that I've experienced Vista and seen all the problems adressed that made me switch to the Mac platform in the first place.
Crawl with it would be more likely. OS X doesn't even run fast on a modern dual core processor or dual G5's. I'm always having to wait on my Mac to open up windows and dialog boxes. I never have this problem with Windows of Linux of any version.
Wow! I guess. Well, I use Linux (SuSE 10.1 currently) all day long at work. I'm a Linux System Administrator after all. At home I use Windows and Mac. If anything I'm biased against Microsoft, but I'm not stupid enough to blindly write off a new OS just because I don't like a company. I give 'em all a fair shake. At this point I have to put Vista on top, Linux second and OS X third. OS X has some niceties, but Linux and Vista usability rates much higher in my opinion.
USB sticks are not as fast as a hard drive, unless you have an ancient 190 MB paper weight laying around somewhere. The best reading speed you're going to get from USB are around 22 MB/sec. An average SATA drive will read data up in the neighborhood of 40-80 MB/sec. The write speeds have even more seperation.
I've been testing Vista Business edition all weekend and so far I really like it. I'm also a Mac user, so I can compare the two firsthand. Vista takes a lot of the nice features of OS X and does them the right way in Vista. The gadgets are so much nicer in Vista than in OS X. They're easier to manage and they work more smoothly. The Vista user interface is absolutely beautiful from an eye candy point of view, and yet it doesn't seem to take any significant performance hit. My Mac Book Pro is not nearly as fluid in running OS X as my Dell laptop is with Vista. Both OS'es are 64-bit also. Even Photoshop CS3 runs much faster on Vista than on OS X.
Microsoft may have copied a lot of features and look from Apple, but they left the bad, took the good and have a much better implementation in my opinion.
I would venture a guess that IE 7 is the main reason Windows Vista has been delayed. Once IE 7 has gone through beta I expect to see a sumultaneous release of IE 7 and Vista.
I'd have a hard time coming up with at least one new song I liked every month and was willing to pay for. I'll stick to buying individual songs or albums as I run across them.
"The only known site with bird collision problems is located in the Altamont Pass in California. Even there, collisions are not common" -- http://www.windpower.org/en/tour/env/birds.htm
I don't think birds are more important than people. Bring on the wind turbines!
Also, recently I read an article about a different type of wind generator that seems to be nicer to the birds. If I remember correctly it was a vertical spinning cylinder instead of a fan-type contraption.
I work with digital video images. People have been trying for years, if not decades, to write software that can mimic the capabilities of the human eye. Usually this software is needed for auto tracking and scoring objects in the field of view. Some limited success has been achieved, but even the best software needs a human to make the initial detection. The pattern recognition capabilities of the human eye are absolutely phenomenal. I doubt computer software will ever be able to replace us in this area.
After reading the obviously-biased article I only have this to say. Evolution is a religion, not science. Any HONEST scientist could not believe in evolution (excepting micro evolution where various species can form). The various theories of the evolutionary process have been proven wrong time and time again, but anti-ID "scientists" so-called willingly choose to ignore the obvious problems with their theories and continue to teach known lies in schools and textbooks. I think it's simply an excuse to avoid admitting that they are subject to a higher power, that they are a product of ID themselves and thus have some responsibilities in life.
It's a shame that the squid lost the end of one of its feeding tenticles. Now it will most likely starve to death and be snagged in some Japanese fisherman's nets. Oh well. It was worth it all to get a few low quality photos.
SuSE 9.2 Professional supports MP3 playback without any problems. I haven't used the standard version, but I've been using SuSE Pro for several versions now and MP3 support has always been there.
Ultimately, everyone is responsible for their influence on every single individual they come into contact with. That is why every individual should do their best to live up to a high moral code. After all, we're all created in the image of God and were created to live up to His example of righteous living and sinless nature. We just failed in the process, but it need not always be thus.:) We can overcome. In the meantime there is grace, and always room for improvement, but never room to shirk our duty or responsibility to be a good example to others.
OK, how's that for an answer? You asked for my opinion.:)
This is great news! Now HP can get up off it's laurels and do something inovative for a change. This woman has been a stick in the mud for far too long. Way to go Carly!
Sounds like a great guy!

Linus Interviewed
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Every time I read one of Linus' interviews I come away with the same impression...Linus sound like a really great guy! He sounds down-to-earth and practical. He doesn't sound greedy, manipulative or controlling. He sounds friendly and seems to have a great sense of humor. Basically, Linus sounds like a reverse image of Microsoft. Go Linu[s|x]!!!
I waited impatiently a couple of months for September 30th to arrive only to be told that I had to wait at least another 6 months! Boooooo! My half-life is going to up up before Half-Life 2 is released.:)
This seems to be totally worthless other than to demonstrate that it is possible. It takes water pressure to force the water through the microchannels. Even at their dreamed of 16% efficiency the system is still over 80% less efficient than the current hydro-electric processes in use around the world. I don't see this technology going any further than today's headlines.
What ever happed to the purpose of copyrighting? Weren't copyright laws put in place to prevent others from making MONEY off the work of the copyright holder? Copyrights were never meant to prevent buyers of products from using, sharing, or giving away what they bought. Down with the RIAA! Boooo! Judges that back up the claims of the RIAA should be ashamed of themselves. What a bunch of good-for-nothing creeps!
Actually, there are a few high-speed digital camera manufacturers out there that are touting at least up to 10,000 pps (pictures per second). One example is NAC Image Technology

Yes, Photoshop CS3 is available in Beta form for everybody. If you want to use it more than 2 days you must have a valid CS2 license.

MySQL server runs just fine on Vista. I don't know about the others, but wouldn't want to use them anyway.

Now if only Linux worked this well....

I don't see a floorplan for this wonder house. Interior and Exterior views can't fully describe the layout. I want a floorplan!
If it's "worldwide" it should be called a pandemic threat, not simply an epidemic threat.

...delayed. Intel has noticed some anomalies and has decided to hold off shipping for the time being. I guess they'll (Intel) tell us more later.

So print your digital picture on Kodak paper and no one can possibly know the difference.
