  1. Re:Why rumors? on Apple's Dev. Tools Hint @ Dual-core G5 & Quad Mac · · Score: 1

    I week or 2? It was something like 4 months between the end of supply for the G4 iMacs, and ship date of the G5s.

  2. Re:IDF has smart people working for them ... on Israeli Army Frowns on D&D · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, the background check were intense. What I was saying is that I never had to talk to a psychologist, as the gp was saying.

    I never have for a clearance. Of course "high clearance" is relative.

    Sure they can. Its just more complex. Check out game theory, and specifically asymmetrical information.

  5. Re:Easy. on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    Check out SideTrack. I'd prefer 2 or 3 buttons also, but this a pretty good alternative.

  6. Re:CAN ANYTHING HELP ME WITH STREAMING VIDEO? on AirPort Express Streaming Audio From Any Program · · Score: 4, Informative

    Sure. Look into the hardware from El Gato.

  7. Re:Are Airports lossy? on AirPort Express Streaming Audio From Any Program · · Score: 1

    Nope, audio is compressed via the "Apple Lossless Encoder."

    So? Its a demo. It it was fully functional, few people would buy it.

  9. Re:In related news... on Google & Firefox's Relationship · · Score: 1

    It can't be a bug in the website. Websites don't (shouldn't) have the ability to dictate what else you can do. Its a bug in the browser.

  10. Re:Favorite quote from TFA on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 2, Informative

    Having rented cars and been under 25, I can say thats not quite accurate. Some companies don't rent to under 25, thats true, but about half do. The just charge and extra $25 a day or so.

  11. Re:Google being less evil... on Google Fires Blogger? · · Score: 1

    Please. They just don't update the google image cache nearly as often as they do for text searches. Just because something doesn't work like you think it shouldn't does not a conspiracy make.

  12. Re:Good reasons. on When Is There a Good Time to "Switch" to Apple? · · Score: 1

    Its not my job to fix distro's problems. Its not my job to fix Microsoft's problems. its not my job to fix Apple's problems. Its my job to have computers that work for my staff.

  13. Re:So what? on DC Could Ban 'Mature' Video Game Sales to Minors · · Score: 1

    How's your spam blocking going? Anything ever get through? If some why have it there at all?

    Just because something isn't 100% effective doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.

  14. Re:Wait and see on Apple Website Points to PowerBook G5 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First, the parent to your complaint was incorrect, brewing coffee hotter doe snot let you get more coffee per pound of bean.

    Second, its not an issue that somebody spilled their coffee, its that McDonalds sold a product that could not be consumed and was in fact dangerous in its sold form.

  15. Re:Upgradablility on Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Since the whole unit is smaller than most PCI cards, I don't see that happening.

  16. Re:Headless Alternative for Less on Apple Releases Mac Mini · · Score: 1

    Good question. But yes, it works fine.

  17. Re:Headless Alternative for Less on Apple Releases Mac Mini · · Score: 1

    Usb hubs work just fine. Firewire one too, for that matter.

    But why not do it the "Mac" way, and get a keyboard with a built in 1 or 2 port hub for your mouse?

  18. Re:Tailing requires a physical act... on No Warrant Needed For GPS Tracking By Police · · Score: 1

    Its also sometimes called "littering".

  19. Re:RTFA on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 2, Informative

    We use your first option, but in addition to controllable pdu's. Cost a touch more, but if it saves me a trip a 2 in the morning because a machine hung hard, its worth it.

  20. Re:goodbye bank account on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    Actually, about all of them do. I'v never run across a keyboard that wouldn't work on a (USB) mac. The windows key automatically maps to do be a Command key, and off you go.

    Go to a book store, and look at every car magazine.

  22. Re:All you need to know... on Apple Nixes Live Webcast, Satellite Feed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Thats because the Cube started out costing between $1800 and $2300. When PowerMacs at the time ran for the same price, it was a foolish luxury computer, instead of a product that would actually sell.
