but that it was a lot of fun to march down the streek, one arm pointing directly in front of you, and screaming
Thanks for reminding me of fond memories. Genesis of the Daleks scared the hell out of me, but I too marched around with my friends, pretending to be a Dalek.
First, it's only on a single high-end pro camera -- affecting only a select set of professional photographers
The purchasers of those high-end pro cameras are Photoshop's paying customers. They want an end to end solution for their photo shops, and Nikon is playing silly buggers. No pro photographer's going to want to play with Nikon's stupid little photo software. They want to use Photoshop, and they want Photoshop to access all the data of the photo. To accept otherwise is simply stupid.
Because you have a fucking receipt! When I buy a stereo from Best Buy, I don't get any crap from the manufacturer when I want to get service 364 days later. I show them a copy of the receipt. The same should go for computers from Apple, otherwise, they're just crooks not honoring the advertised warranty. Bollocks to anyone who says otherwise. And no, I've never owned or returned a Mac.
That was assuming Time Lord lore, but the new series has dropped the Time Lords. The books for the 8th Doctor made the Time Lords never to have existed. The Doctor is just The Doctor. There need be no reason for his ability to regenerate -- he just can. He could before the whole Time Lord lore ever came into being, and he can now that there are no Time Lords.
In California, courses from jr colleges are transferable to state colleges; however, you need to choose CS classes, not IT classes. My jr college had both an CS and an IT department. I earned an Associates degree from the CS department. I was able to transer all my C, Ada, physics, calculus, and English credits over to the state school, where I earned a Bachellors.
This is the preferred path, since classes in jr colleges are generally smaller than those in 4 yr colleges. It's been shown that students that spend their first two years in jr college do better than their friends who dive stright into 4 year schools. Besides which, it costs a lot less.
Tom Yager of InfoWorld had an article that spoke to this issue, a few weeks ago.
He was talking about how most OSes fail to guard applications against timeouts and hardware failures. They leave it up to application developers to bloat their code will all kinds of handlers. Most applications simply die when faced with these kinds of problems. It would take far too long to code for all the possibilities, and cost too much.
I work in downtown LA, and I tell you man, there is some film crew here every other week filming New York City. There's a bunch of New York City yellow cabs parked outside the central library right now.
The DirectTV Tivo has two built-in satelight receivers. It does not need to interface with anything except your dish. With it I can record up to two programs at once, which comes in handy. Only have a two horn dish, and want to use another receiver, then just get a mutli-way switch. They're cheep on eBay, a rip-off at The Shack or BB.
You got questions? Yeah, we got answers. The wrong answers.
In recent years HP
settled a lawsuit against it. The class action lawsuit claimed it was a design defect that caused 5, 6, and 1100 series printers to suffer from paper-feed problems. I could've sworn your 4 series was included, but I was wrong.
If it wasn't a bad hardware design, then riddle me this: Why do no HP LaserJets since the 1100 have the vertical paper feed? All lasers since then employ the horizontal feed, which stragely doesn't jam. You sir, are one of the lucky ones that didn't encounter a problem.
HP eventually released a fix for it, which they shipped to me for free, and a friend of mine is still using that HP1100A on a very regular basis - she's using Windows printer sharing to print from her Mac, and she prints in quantity with no jams. It took HP a year or two to come out with the kit, which was a real bummer, and I have to say I didn't expect it to work, but it turns out that it did.
Sadly, the fix doesn't work on all 1100s -- mine included. I just use it to anchor my desk, just in case a hurricane blows through my house. I can't ethically sell it to anybody. Sometime late, I ended up getting a HP 4110 ink-jet with a built-in fax and scanner. It works pretty nicely, though the ink's brutal. If I were printing a lot, I'd want another b/w laser.
They could fix all the issues with overheating by putting it in a bigger case.;-)

What this guy demonstrated was that what Apple has created is a very well engineered box. They didn't just take off the shelf parts, and shove them into a 6.5x6.5" box. This took a lot of engineering to get all the parts in, and the heat out.
PC parts are all designed to fit within standard cases. They all work well under these circumstances. They make it easy for manufacturers and hobbiests, alike, to assemble. Neither group is too keen on the tiny chasis concept. They're harder to get into, and harder to build because of the issues of heat.
I like the idea of tiny boxes, especially with the advent of high speed busses like USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394. Rather reminds me of the old Commie 64.
Everyone asks "Why the B. Hell would anyone want this?" Well, here's why. You get up at 5:15, throw your clothes on, shave, dash out the door at 5:45 and barely catch the 6:00 train. There you sit for 90 minutes, thinking about a nice hot cup of coffee. It doesn't have to be great coffee, just nice, and hot. Sure, I've love a 'Bucks at the station, or a machine, but there isn't, and I'd be buggered if I'm going to get up any earlier to fool around making or buying brew. That, my friends, is the demographic they're selling to.
I learned a lot of valuable skills in college, and believe I am a better developer because of the knowlege I aquired there. That said, people tend to hire based upon current experiance. Nobody's ever said to me, "Oh well, we're only hiring Gog developers. I see you have 12 years of C++ development under your belt, and a CS degree, so that'll be okay." No, what they say is, "You've been writing C++ for the last decade. We're only developing in gwbasic, and you don't have any experience on your resume, so why don't you go away and die?"

Wait till you can't change channel, except using the rotary touch pad: ..., 801, 802, 803, ...

Nobody* slashdots from home, and therefore, it doesn't annoy our wives.

Big, big deal. I overclocked my granny by hacking her pace maker. Now it does double-time, and so does she!
What? Microsoft marketed Flight Simulator. It was originally created by a company called SubLOGIC, and later by BAO.
Autoboxing makes code far easier to read, and thus easier to maintain. If I have to wedge my way through pages of
Integer ii = (Integer)e.next();
int i = ii.intValue();
it's a much bigger chore than reading a small amount of clear
int i = e.next();
