The phone is limited at 100 songs. It doesn't matter how much memory you throw in it. If you put 100 20sec clips on and use 8M, you still can't put another song on until deleting one of the 100 already there. It has nothing to do with the intelligence of your average consumer.
Make sure to say thanks to the RIAA on the way out =/
the interface has pretty much required a second button for efficient use since OS 8.
I don't understand why no one knows how to use an apple. Take your left hand out of your pants and leave it on the keyboard in a natural position. Command, ctrl, and option are sitting right there under your thumb. I'm always remapping the left alt to ctrl now so I only have to move my thumb off the spacebar instead of having to move my entire hand use common shortcuts.
The big problem is that the site purportedly hosted pictures of people crossing picket lines. From my experience with union people, this could be endangering people's safety. Personally, I think Telus should have had the courts force the union to take the pics down, but then they've been having problems there too.
or fuel cell that runs on common cheap organic liquid such as wood alchohol.
The real problem with the adoption of such technology is that a laptop running on something as volatile as wood alcohol will never be allowed on an aeroplane. I currently get 5 - 6 hours with my iBook so long as I don't compile too much or use the SuperDrive. That's exactly the amount a person on a trans-antlantic flight requires. Battery manufacturers have it pretty much figured out I would think.
Slight nitpick: cat is meant to concatenate two files together. It just happens that when you concatenate nothing onto the first file you end up with the same thing you started with.
You might want to do a refresher on your Unix utils.
That's not perfect either. Electronic voting is used to speed up the counting process. The problem is that people can't see that who they voted for is correctly and officially recorded. The machines should be spitting out a recipt and then the voters get to put it in the sealed box.
The speed of electronic voting with the accountability of a normal ballot.
OS X, Gnome, and KDE all have that nifty little window that pops up an asks for the administrator password when you need to do something with escalated privileges. Anyone who's used an OS or desktop environment with this feature realises just how little you see this box too.
There rarely a good reason to log in as the administrator, and there is never a good reason to run as one all the time. I'm sure that after his/her first virus even the lowliest windows user can see this.
MS Office X and the Office 2003 are about as non-compatible as it gets. Not so bad going to OS X, but when giving a document to a Windose user you may as well be using WP 5. Word docs are constantly losing formatting, Excel graphs look like hell, and all the transitions in your PowerPoint presentation have either disappeared or make you sick to your stomach to watch.
I think this must have something to do with using Quartz on the mac for a lot of effects, but you'd think they'd come up with a way for files to be shared without looking like they've gone through a meat grinder. With all the new features for Office 2004 for Mac, I'm sure this is only going to get worse too.
The US is well known for not ratifying treaties they have signed, or just not signing treaties at all. Treaties like the Kyoto Accord are agreements by countries to say that making another dollar isn't more important than the welfare of our children. Treaties like the ABM Treaty are agreements that countries agree that WMDs (to coin an American phrase) are bad things to have. Treaties like the International Criminal Court are agreements between countries as to how they will deal with criminals that happen to be doing crimes in places they aren't citizens.

Americans are always trying to say they are the bastion of free society. They always say "What would you do without our armies and technology?" I always like to ask what I would do without acid rain, the threat that someone might think Toronto is close enough, or whether I might be sent to some foreign country while in transit through the states.
My 12" iBook G4 will give me a good 5 hours playing CDs and coding, and up to 7 if I'm just coding with little disk activity. I have yet to see a PC based laptop that can compete with it for battery life.
I don't run bench marks, but at 800MHz I get better response and a cleaner feel out of the iBook than most people I know with Pentium-M 1-1.5GHz. Might just be that OS X is so well matched to the hardware, but when apps like photoshop or games like Tony Hawk 4 run comparably one has to wonder if some of the stories are a bit better than myths.
I don't think it has anything to do with a unix centric environment. Our CS department only has one IRIX lab (donated), and the rest of the machines are either straight WindowsXP or dual-boot RedHat. It's the fact that there are people involved in the hiring of our support staff have clue that makes the difference as to how well our support staff do their jobs. We've had 0 downtime durning the school year, and only three days during the summers since I got here.
When you're VP Educational Information Tech. is an ex-nurse with no real technical background, his chief underling is a business grad with an MSCE, and research consists of listening to the vendor tell you about how hard it will be to learn UNIX sysadmin, you can only expect so much out of an IT dept.
White phosphorus is kept under water since it reacts with air.
We had a chem teacher in high school that was doing a phosphorus demonstration and accidently knocked the demonstration tray off the desk and on to the floor. Good thing it had happened before and he had copper chloride on hand to put it out. I'm pretty sure he's still teaching too.
I still can't watch streamed quicktime movies though.
It's great that apple is realeasing stuff opensource, even if th license is less than perfect. The one thing they've always given away for free they're still hanging on to though. I don't get it.
The CN Tower in Toronto, Canada is the worlds tallest building and free standing structure.
It's 553.33m (1815ft) total, the observation deck is at 346m (1136ft), the 360 restaurant is at 351m (1150ft), and the Sky Pod observation deck is at 447m (1465ft, and higher than the top floor of either the sears tower or petronas).
The CN tower was built in 1976 and has held the titles of tallest building and free standing structure ever since.
I think I've met one american ever who got this question right. What's with you people?
"Online companies will certainly also make use in future of a controversial feature called IPv6, designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). At present, the anonymity of most Internet users is more or less protected because service providers generally assign a different IP address each time someone logs on. But IPv6 includes a new, expanded IP address, part of which is the unique serial number of each computer's connection hardware. Every data packet sent will carry a user's electronic fingerprints.
It's too bad to see a splotch like this in an otherwise informed article. IPv6 is an expansion of the IP protocol to expand the address space of the net, not a scheme by the IETF to help the government track you down. Using MAC addresses are just one option for ISP when assigning IPv6 adresses. I'd suggest the article author look over the RFC before making the IETF look like the RIAA or the MPAA. The internet you're using right now wouldn't exist if it weren't for them. MAC address are included with todays IPv4 packets. IPv6 is most certainly not going to make it any easier for the government to track you down.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't the American dream something like anyone can build a multinational out of old shoelaces in America. Aren't corporations like McDonalds, Microsoft, and AOL-Time-Warner the peak of that dream?
How then can a French man lashing out against "an international symbol for the globalization, mass-marketing and homogenization that U.S.-bred corporatism is spreading like the measles." be considered an American patriot? He stands against everything the American dream stands for.
Maybe you have to be an American to really understand?

Good God man. This is nothing compared to the great libc -> glibc move. There were T-shirts made up for that one.
