Your system is pretty weak. For example: "Hello, I'm Living F/X, and I allow the following songs to be shared:...". How should they know if I'm really Living F/X (I'm not)? Living F/X is a small group from Austria that has released ONE record. The people from Napster could search for any representative of the group to ask for permission, but that would take days or weeks. Now multiply that with some million songs and you'll realize that it's impossible.
I wait all day for technician who never shows up. He files a report that says he could not locate my residence. Evidently maps are beyond Verizon's ability.
LOL
That's like my postman. I get the mail from the whole street, except my own. And I'm living here for five years now. Some people really can't read.
Must have been luck. My Powerbook G3 Wallstreet went for repair about 6 times in the first year (each repair took about 2 months here in Europe), I believe not a single part of it is original (oh yeah, the CD-ROM drive). But no replacement with a new 'book.
If you were smart, your game still has some playability issues and bugs, but it's only 2-months extra work.[...]If you were dumb, the game ships out a year after it was due.
Sounds more like to have luck or not than to be smart or not.
You don't know at the beginning if one programmer/artist is good or bad.
When you go out in public, you notice what people are doing, wearing, saying, etc. [...] Have you invaded those people's privacy?
Staring at a woman to find out what kind of bra she's wearing is surely a privacy invasion. There are some countries where you can get sued for that.
It does matter if you're actively looking for information or if it's just passive.
OE, an email client. That's it. No conspiracies. It complies with mail standards just fine
Don't make me laught. The german version of OE uses "AW:" instead of "Re:". If you set it to use english tags (which is deeply nested down somewhere), it uses "RE:", which is still not standard.
Additionally, it doesn't attach files correctly (doesn't use MIME), most email-clients (like Apple Mail, to get on-topic again) can't read it. And it's the only client that can't read Apple Mail's attachments.
(Overall, I'm missing the arguments in your post other than "no, you're wrong".)
Nothing about its design is specific only to printers
Then tell me what 'Paper End' or 'Error' lines are for a zip drive...
The parallel port is the strangest interface I ever saw. There's no specification, just "the first implementation used this chip, which had these max. input and output current:..." and so on.

The poor guy suffered thru that experience, it's not nice to laugh at his mistakes.
If you're only running native apps (which the are relatively few at this second, but many are coming this summer)
This is a very interesting statement for/., since nearly all Linux apps run in Mac OS X (maybe you have to install XFree first), and even some more, like OmniWeb, IE, iTunes, Maya...
If this is not enough, so why does anyone use Linux as his desktop os?
Uhhh, wtf are you on? If you know that there won't be wierd quirks with the hardware, then the installer will be a hell of a lot easier to use.
Well, you never used a Mac, don't you? There are no wierd quirks.
Usually all drivers are installed and the one are used that are required, even in Apple's MkLinux.
I don't know one way or the other, but I would guess that the folks developing OS X have access to a little more in the way of specifications and documentation.
Yes, and the code they produced is OpenSource ( http://publicsource.apple.com).
Apple's BootX even supports booting Linux.
And a simple installation does not depend on hardware specifications.
I said "no usable". I tried to play a DivX;-) video with that player. After 2 sec the sound stopped and it doesn't have a constant frame rate -> that classifies as 'unusable' for me.
A friend of mine is using W2K Server on his notebook (he's developing an MS SQL-based application). He has to reboot twice each day, because something always f**s up. For example, yesterday all window controls (the ones in the upper right corner of each window) suddenly were black.
But he managed to f** up every OS he ever had installed, including Win95, Win98se and Linux, so maybe it's not Windows' fault;-)
Hrm... Nowhere Steve said that DOOM will be Mac-first... He said that the GeForce 3 will be.
And DOOM was first presented on MacWorld Tokyo.
And it's pretty cool.

Likewise, it's kind of obvious that this product pretty much relies on GPL code to be useful.
Yeah, it's obvious to YOU. But is it obvious to somebody that never saw a computer (like most judges)?

That's not true. You can get all passwords (encrypted) by executing "nidump passwd ." from any user account. I just tried it on Mac OS X 10.1.
That reminds me on the thing they had in X-Men.
Was pretty cool...

No, the site said something like "this thing was constructed in a 3D renderer, and if I'm wrong, I'll eat my hockeypuck mouse". No Photoshop.
Sadly, I can't prove it of course.
Don't forget bnetd/fsgs. These are fully compatible battle.net-servers, which were created just by sniffing the packages coming from the games.
Well, not everyone wants to program his documents...
(I'm using \LaTeX{}, too, but I wouldn't expect others to do the same)
Do you have some flats for rent there?
When you turn it on, of course.
Hrm... My last one burnt out while it was turned on. Began to blink, and then it was dark...
But turning on is a strain for a power supply, because the capacitors are a short circuit for a few msec, that's true.
I said "no usable". I tried to play a DivX ;-) video with that player. After 2 sec the sound stopped and it doesn't have a constant frame rate -> that classifies as 'unusable' for me.
And you can watch it on any platform, not just Windows and Mac.
Wrong: There's no usable DivX ;-) player for MacOS. If you want cross platform, use MPEG2.
