I moved the date forward on my PS3. Didn't help. Downloaded games don't work (flower, flow, nobi). Except pixeljunk eden works for some reason.
I didn't try any ps3 games but ps2 games played fine.
I personally hate the need for an internet connection to play games. I think its more of a time thing than a pure internet connectivity thing. (my machine isn't always on the internet and I've had no problems till now)
I use panic software's CODA for my php development (OSX). Its not really as full featured as these (no debugger), but for the fairly basic php web sites I code, it works great. I like that you can click a tab and snap into the page your creating in a functional browser. I use YourSQL for MYSQL database management, which still works but is no longer being developed.
Its not a short term gig because it involves maintenance of backend databases etc..
Make sure any network you set up is maintenance free or very standard.
There are lots of ways to volunteer, and find appropriate work. A site called volunteermatch existed a long time ago. Sometimes I help with painting. Its not what I do professionally but its oddly satisfying.
US produces IP and wants to protect it. Sugar being a tangible item is what Costa Rica produces. You want to trade with the US you should play by US rules. The US want to trade with Costa Rica we play by Costa Rican rules, thus the trade agreement.
I see nothing wrong here.
Why these trade rules aren't being used to enforce environmental agreements and not IP ones is somewhat beyond me.
I built a hackintosh. I have an slightly older mac tower and wanted a machine in the 1200$ price range to go with my existing monitor. I'm a part time photographer and like OSX. It works great. I love the OS but don't like Apple's forced hardware choices, way too limiting. They are shooting themselves in the foot, I know photogs who switched away and are never coming back because apple doesn't sell affordable towers.. Adobe lightroom makes it easy to move away.
I have a mac book and love the thing. I bought the Mac Leopard OS to install on it.
I wish Apple engineers would spend more time squashing bugs than removing support for other processors.
Ipod didn't have video (nobody wants to watch video on a portable device was the Apple line), Later video on the same size screen.
Iphone apps will be web only app and run in safari, thats all you need apple said. Now they have a full SDK for native apps.
ipod nano has an FM tuner now! ?
Lots of new functionality with new iphone OS releases. (Cut and paste).
I'm sure there are tons of other examples
They're kinda arrogant, but they do listen, they just don't acknowledge that they do. They tend to frustrate people because the devices they sell are about 90% of what they want.
Obviously other manufactures aren't supplying what you want either (a huge capacity player). I would love and ipod touch with 160 gb and a big battery (at the expense of thickness). Apples not delivering so I'm still using my old fashioned ipod.
its a simpsons reference when new lizards are introduced
From Wikipedia: Since the town considered the pigeons to be a nuisance, they are delighted with the fact that the lizards have eaten all the pigeons. As a result, Bart is thanked and honored by Mayor Quimby with a loganberry scented candle. Lisa worries that the town will now become infested by lizards rather than the pigeons, but Skinner assures her that they will send in Chinese Needle Snakes, then snake-eating gorillas, and then "winter will take care of the rest."
Its confusing, but HD radio is secondary radio streams (low bit rate I'm told), that is broadcast by existing radio stations. Its confusing because it sounds like High Def, or High Definition (The zune supposedly does 720p).
Not many people have the radios (I don't) so people are confused. They're trying to get them into cars. Its fm's answer to satellite radio.
There aren't many people who aren't MS fans who think a slab/multi touch / one button PMP isn't just another me too device. It might be good, but its not original.
Become Neil Degrasse Tyson's facebook friend. He's making science interesting again, especially with Nova Science Nows profiles on science. If science oriented kids knew there a lot of people like them, they'd be more likely to pursue it as a career.
Basically it boils down to this (As a prepare to build my hackintosh, parts in the mail),
I can get a great tower computer with lots of expandability for $1100 (Includes the cost of the OS). To get an equally expandable tower from apple (with room for more than 1 hard drive) would cost me $2500. The larger and growing larger hole in the mac lineup is the tower. as an apple investor I find it inexcusable.
For me its this or a windows box, both have the tools for my photography and programming.
As someone whos been developing for some time, I think there is a general dislike for code reviews even for experienced coders.
When you've worked on something especially if its as a volunteer its hard not to take criticism of you code and design personally. Its probably harder for linux where your code is out there for all to see. So maybe there is less criticism for fear of losing another coder.
You see this a little in the scientific community where old ideas take a while before they die even after being discredited.
Seriously, I do some web dev volunteer stuff. On OSX setting up AMP is so easy. The machine comes with apache and php to start with. Most apps (PHPAdmin/ joomla/ smarty) install easily.
My friend who helps out runs Ubuntu and its again a straight forward installs to get his LAMP going.
I haven't posted to these things in a while. Karma be dammed.
I've been on slashdot a while, I've seen the argument change from I can't buy music online, just sell it (they started selling it) I don't want music with DRM. (Legit complaint, now most music stores don't have DRM)
Now whats the excuse for pirating?
Doesn't anyone want musicians to earn something?
Seriously in case nobody noticed they Represent the "RECORDING INDUSTRY". Not you, not me, not the artists. Remember though, they (the RIAA) pay the artists much more than those pirating (where last time I checked the artists gets 0). So in some ways the RIAA way is protecting themselves, they overstep, but seriously look what they're up against.
As someone who knows 2 professional musicians, publicity is good but at some point you need to pay the bills. A lot of smaller bands give away music if you just take the time to visit their sites.
I like mac OSX a lot. I'm using it on a macbook and and old (needs to be replaced) dual 1ghz g4. I have 4 drives in the old g4 for a total of 1.5 TB (it has a sata card). I take a lot of photographs a do video editing , all the stuff that mac software makes usefull. I have a great lcd.
So what do I buy? I'd like a tower, but at 2500$ or whatever its too expensive. The mini doesn't have the expandable storage. FW800 might work with external drives, but I'd like lots of ram for photoshop and lightroom. When looking at 1200$ PC towers, they give a lot for that price.
I'm willing to pay a premium for OSX, but they don't have the hardware I want.
Thus the HW lock in I'm suffering. I use Apeture so I'm actually contemplating switching.
What bugs me, is that they should be trying to get market share up, so each machine is worth more (more software will be written). Gametap just dropped mac today.
mac w128K of RAM - so little power, but powerfull
on
Happy 25th, Macintosh!

· Score: 3, Interesting
It amazes me now, how we computed with so little RAM and no Hard Disk. I don't know how much ram Cell phones have but its probably more..
Those old macs 8 mhz processor 128 Kbytes (512 soon after.)
Of course there were times when those old macs would spit out the disk you were using and ask you to put in the system disks... The Mac SE with harddrive couldn't come soon enough.

If you haven't tried it, the apple remote controls Hulu desktop pretty well. The interface takes a little bit to get used to however.
I should try that eye TV. been Eying it (sorry)

2 button mice.!

Eno turned Coldplay from kinda moody into much better!
The app review says little about what it does however. Is it like the KAOSOLATOR with a screen and more that 4 bars of memory?

Seriously. The oldest iphone out there is just now turning 2 years old. This new ones an improvement, but not a world changing compared to last years.
People have so little patience, plus they may change the policy anyway.

Unless you get him with the ships canon in Ultima ///.
I can't believe I remembered that..
Lots of companies. Although since the PC beat the mainframe there are fewer computer companies.
We have large offices for Raytheon, Parametrics, Solidworks, Comverse, Sigmatel, ..... uswusf.
All the major "California" companies have large offices here in MA too:
Sun/Oracle
Microsoft
Lotus/IBM
Hp
Symantec
Akami
In cambridge/boston its more Biotech (Amgen Novartus, pfizer )etc...

I don't think you've heard some of the non fanboi mac users rant..
They are brutal
Especially about the OS X finder which while working isn't where it needs to be yet.
Don't get them started on the Dock.

I've used visicalc. I was just a kid, but my friends dad had it for the apple ][+.
It was weird, because it had no up down arrows on the keyboard, you had to toggle up/down left/right mode by hitting the spacebar.
Love it or hate it, visicalc made computers way more useful. I don't think it was a bad thing
