  1. Re:Dual 1.42 DROP?? on New iMacs (and iPods) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Thats not new. The speed drop came when they announced the g5's, since the 1.25's could still boot into 9, while the 1.42 can't.

    Well, technically public companies are serving their stockholders. Private companies can be as altruistic as they want.

    Didn't we buy Canada a few years back?

    But um, yeah, you were saying something about 1812? We've never lost a "war." There's a few "conflicts" we got pissed on it, but "wars", we're still batting a thousand.

    No way they won't be allowed to run anything but Microsoft software. Microsoft simply doesn't make enough different products to cover all the needs of a school. Other than their Magic School Bus line, they have no educational software.

    Sure you can. Open the case of a Mirror Door, and most of the metal on the inside is cheese grater-like. Sliced up a finger removing a hard drive when we first got the box in.

    Being loved it good But its damn hard to get most people to love you for a while, and impossible to keep it up. Fear lasts a damn long time, and bullets and lawyers are cheap.

    Ok, now explain why RTF isn't good enough for your resume, which everyone under the sun can read? Of your choices, go pdf. Everybody can read pdf, and if your formatting is that important to you, it'll insure the hr department gets it right.

    Agreed about Final Cut, but the new version of DVD studio (1.5 was a bear) is really nice. It's encoding a project right now, as a matter of fact. Its got 3 different modes to let you get the right level of detail about your project, basic (similar to iDVD, extended and advanced.

    Funny, I'd have sworn that was the same Jefferson who was in favor of Patents. To be fair, thats more what I had in mind when I was arguing about copyright. If I invent something, say, a new type of metal stronger and lighter and cheaper than steel, which we'll call SlamMan Metal, I can sell, or not sell, that metal to whomever I choose. I can also license it to a third party, who does not have the right to further give it away or license it further at my option. Why? Because its MINE.

    Does this remind anyone of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"? If I own the license to something, and don't want anyone to do something with it, I don't have to let them. Thats the point of ownership.
