But there's no comercial liscinse, version of Aim, is there? its till in actuallity a bunch of individual users who happen to be at one place.
Where we work, however, we've got 4 tech for 120 some users. We don't have time to develop jabber to meet our needs. Turnkey does have many good qualities.
Just to check, we all noticed that they're still using a fair number of apple aprts, right? Its not like its parts made by somebody else, he's just scavangeing parts from other sources than apple for apple stuff.
If you get payed by the hour, and you can spend 2 hours a day playing chess online, you haven't been given enough to do. I mean, come one. Its a job. Payment for services rendered and such.
So, blender is what? I gather its some product that we're buying from its stockholders. I've got to say, its a really neat idea, buying off a broduct to make it open source.
We'll the.ttf font cam e in handy already, when somebody need an odd cyrilic file opened that used its own font. from the pc world. *Poof* Worked like a champ.
How is my beliving someone a wacko have anything to do with their rights to free speech? Even the tinfoil hat-wearers are allowed thier say, no matter how ludicrious I think thier opinions are.
BTW, you'll note this about my credibility was from an anonymous coward:-)
I agree, I'm splitting hairs, but our legal system is supposed to be precise. Sign language should definatly be protected, and by Judical review, it is, but its not actually protected by the Bill of Rights, its protected by the Supreme Court's Rulings. And since our laws are interpreted where they aren't spelled out, at some point the Supreme Court could decided that sign langauge isn't speech, by spliting hairs, and restrict it somehow.
I wouldn't exactally consider sign language "speaking." Its certainly a form of communication, but its not "speech." I'm not say it shouldn't be protected, like the wacko above is saying; its just not speech in the same way writing to you now isn't.

Bah. Poor analogy. The differnce is the amount of skill and techneique required to do the tasks. Its like saying they had locks on the door, but they were easy to get past, and that you got through their laser tripwire setup by crawling on the ceiling. Do-able, but you need the tools and skill to do it.
I personally think the transparency of the dock is worth the time ( I like being able to see my background pictures at full size, esp. since they now change every 30 second with 10.2) The bouncing does seem to be a bit of a waste, but it does let you know whether a program is actualy loading or just sitting there. (Yeah, I know, weak reason). And I'm pretty sure you can even turn it off. Don't know if that'll save you any resources, if its already loaded the routines into memory or not.
Backgrounds, themes, and screen savers (arguemnt can be made for screensavers) aren't exactally necessary on computers either, but I like having them. I don't actually NEED sound, or the ability to run games, or a window manager. I don't need spring loaded folders, but they make working with the computer a little nicer and a little easier. If having these things makes it take an extra second to load up SPSS or maya, than I think its a good trade off.
You could always get a firewire brdge and box, and toss your cheap cd-rw in it. Should save you a couple bucks over having to buy one already in a firewire box.
The who reason behind the square boxes is the motherboards. Motherboards are big rectangles, and as such cases are made to go around them. Do what you want, but nobody's going to cut apart their mother baord to get it to fit into a smaller shape, and so everything case design is still going to have to have a big flat side to it for the board. Here's where Apple's got its nice touch, since it designs the boards AND the cases, it can make em in funk shapes to fit whatever design they want. If a pc maked did it, they get bashed to hell for have a proprietary design, and nobody would buy thier stuff. Maybe when mother boards start being flexable, something will change, but for now, you get a new iMac, or you get a box.
I think the poster is wrong, since the default install of OS X didn't have the network time server option enabled. I know it checks the time on boot (it'll catch for a few seconds in you're off a network and you have it set to check) but does it actually check while the machine is running?
but the pentium is made by the evil intel, remember? Got to be on a home rollded carusoe, where you made the case out of some sort of non aerosole foam, and its running a webserver soon to be slashdotted.

Lets see.
Something like 800 billion people using AIM.
Something like 80 people using Jabber.
Yeah, what in the world are they thinking?

Maybe he was thinking that Apple + ~ lets you cycle between windows in explorer.

Probobly because its a search string, not a straight url.
bronze keyboard+ no firewire makes it a "bronze", I think.

Mine synced up the clock when I added had it adding songs to my iPod.
Seems like it would work better as one of the cables goes to your web server box, and the other goes to your dev box.

The Titanium GeForce ships with a dvi->vga adaptor, so you get the best of both worlds, fyi.

Never quite got how $20 is a free update, but everybody comlains about $29.95 for a new version of quicktime.

Not on an iMac though. There isn't a way to stop the ram from being removed.
