But isn't it cute to see somebody try to add a third bucket to their preconceptions of other peoples' political philosophies? Just makes me want to say "Awwww!"
What, you mean the India that has been threatening to nuke Pakistan for 20 years? That India? The one with the largest navy, and one of the largest standing armies, in their region?
They're a democracy, sure...but pacifists? You're a loony.
That's not the argument I'm making. His documentary can be funny, that's fine. If, however, he wants to escape criticism because it's funny, he needs to not pretend to be a documentarian.
I don't think that's what Moore is trying to do, but it is what one of the posters was trying to argue.
If you were of the "opposite" political affiliation (because, obviously, there can only be two: the Right One and the Wrong One...no room for shades of gray, no sir.), you would say that the opposition have no rational faculties, and the world would be a better place if there were a drug that could make people think better.
You'd still be equally wrong, of course.
Me, I want a drug to make people not think in binary. "I'm right, people who agree with me are right, everybody else is either incompetent or evil" is a pretty stupid attitude.
Note that greed is selected for by evolution. That's what "survival of the fittest" means.
For me, it's not their vigor that I object to. It's their targeting.
The American populace is, by and large, not comprised of terrorists. So why are most of the laws passed to "fight terrorism" directed at the American populace?
And, if there are large areas of the screen that are not for user data, those areas are wasted. They should be displaying information or waiting for me to put information there, not just sitting there being metal.
Apple's own use of the two UIs is inconsistent. It's no wonder people are confused about them.

If Michael Moore is writing comedy, why is he always shrieking about what an honest documentarian he is? He can't have it both ways. Either he's an important director of documentary films (and should be criticized for lack of scholastic rigor) or he's writing comedy, and should give back his Academy Award.
Me? I happen to think he's an asshole, and I don't care what he does. Of course, that probably makes me some pro-Bush neocon, right?
If you've got a layer that's rich enough to use Windows binary drivers on Mac hardware, running Win32 apps is a small step. If you have enough access to the drivers to tune each driver to work in this environment, just port the damn thing to OSX.
But I'm really curious as to what devices you're talking about. Do people still sell USB and FireWire devices that can't be used on Macs?
Slashdot Mirror
4G==fourth generation, not four gigabyte. I should have been clearer. I don't know about the previous generation iPod or the mini.
I just blanked my iPod and used it as a scratch disk to copy a dvd. This thing is teh awesome.
Thanks for the clarification.
So it costs $30 less and is larger in size.
More power to 'em.
*strokes iPod lovingly*
Uh, yeah, it works perfectly. You're just wrong.
So it's more expensive, and larger, than the iPod? Wow, guess you like oggs a lot.
I'm glad you're happy with your choice.
I don't understand. Why don't you just boot off the iPod? That works great.
FYI, the 4G iPod will charge off the USB 2.0 port. It will not charge while syncing (or, I assume, copying data) according to the manual.
Just a note from a happy owner.
*looks for special partition on iPod*
*can't find one*
*copies data to iPod while syncing with iTunes*
Uh, you're a loony.
Tell that to mainland China. Just watch out when they want to drive tanks over you.
DUDE! Look into some paragraph breaks! Come on!

Pacifism is suicide.
Name a viable, pacifist society that a) is soverign today and b) has existed for more than 50 years.
There aren't any.

No, all politicians are rich. THAT correlation refers to the system, not the electorate.
The fact that you draw a distinction between the electorate and the politicians is a symptom of the broken system.
Of the people, by the people, for the people is the way it should be, not the way it is.
Hmmmm...I wonder if the message is more important than the medium? Staggering notion, that...
Please reconcile this "correlation" with the fact that every "liberal" politician is rich.

Do you have any substantiation for your claims, or are you just waving your dick around?

In theory, you're right...so why is Safari metal?

Maybe because 99% of the time, you'd be right?
If they act the same way, they should not be different. That's my point.
People will start understanding good UI when they realize that a skin!=good UI.
The OS X Metal look is rarely good UI, unfortunately.
