It's a shame. Apple doesn't seem to have a thing with dogs anymore. Moof the DogCow is gone and CyberDog was cancelled. Moof was the little dog that showed up in the landscape settings under Page Setup. Has anyone found him in Mac OS X?
No one can't fork Java already on their own. They just can't call it Sun brand Java. The whirling custlerfuck and starting on new languages can already take place. So what are you waiting for?
A whole 6 megabytes of memory?! Way to beat up my 486.
Of course it supports 6 MB of memory. It didn't say exactly or at most 6 MB. Oh no... I've turned into that annoying person at work that corrects everyone's grammar.
Giving kids in school a laptop is a waste. Studies have been done that show using Word with spell/grammar check is a detriment. Also, the students will most likely browse the web or IM each other during class. Computers in the classroom are more of a distraction than anything else.
I've got you beat. Way beat. In the Nursing & Something or Other department at my University a faculty member called the IT help desk with a complaint about the startup message on her PC. The faculty member was furious about her computer spewing racist drivel. The help desk employee asked to what she was referring, and the response was: "It keeps talking about masters and slaves!" I'll leave the rest of the joke up to the reader. And yes, you may now begin banging your head into your desk.
That said, while I am still quite scepticle of the whole thing, I have to admit I no longer think the console is just vaporware.
Looks like they're trying to hire vaporpeople to make vaporware. I don't see what the big deal is anyways. If a sweet new console comes out, great! If not, who cares?
Anyone notice you can't download it with Safari? The website keeps griping about not having cookies enabled, even though they are. If they didn't even test their website with the most common Mac browser, then I wonder how well QA-ed their Mac port is.
They also want your address for the free edition. Right. I wish companies would just let us download their software and have fun with it, hassle free. I could barely download RealOne player the other day because accounts for jkl@jkl.com, asdf@asdf.com, etc. were all taken. Meh.
I think you misinterpreted the slide talking about Ruby 1.9.x. The odd numbered Ruby versions are the development track, while the even numbered versions are release caliber. Ruby2 will have Unicode support and Ruby1.9.x is where it will show up first. The lack of multilignual support is actually listed as a reason as to why Ruby currently stucks. This isn't half-assed support of Unicode.
The 20gb and 40gb models come with the remote, carrying case, and dock. The 10gb does not. You have to factor this items into the price per gb formula.
As for the iPod and iTunes, I'm not sure what you mean by 'restrictive'. The iPod lets you do pretty much anything you want, except you can't copy music back to a computer from it.
Though they over look all of the proprietary Apple formats that are attempts to lock comsumers into Apple. Quicktime, Apple's AAC, their restrictive iPod and iTunes, and just about every product they put out.
Quicktime is just a means of sequencing frames. It is not a format let alone a proprietary one. I don't see why people continue to think it is one. AAC wasn't developed by Apple. Read their own webpage no it. Also, note there is a difference between AAC and an Apple DRM'ed AAC. The iPod plays AIFF's, MP3's, AAC's, and DRM'ed AAC's. No one is forcing you to encode your music in AAC or limit your selection of music to DRM AAC's from iTMS. Also, iTunes plays Ogg Vorbis files via a plugin. If you're really miffed that the iPod doesn't currently play Ogg files, then simply don't buy it. Why bother going on a tirade against Apple?
This has been out for awhile. Also, there will be (or already are) features in newer phones that provide location information to 911 call centers automatically.
When I try to enable WPA (Enterprise) with the latest Airport software it tells me, (a) it is not compatible with my 802.11b card, (b) it is not compatible with MAC address access lists, and, (c) it is not compatible with WDS. WDS is where you can chain Airport connectivity over the air, which I use, and (b) only occurs under WPA Enterprise as opposed to personal. I can see (a) being rationalized under needing better hardware for better encryption, and I was going to upgrade regardless, but (b) and (c)? Doh!
Linux users sad about no HL? How about Mac users? The Mac version of HL was essentially finished, but then axed by Sierra. Mention of it can be found here. How's that for getting stiffed?

They should rename their browser "HyperLynx."

Is this how Lisp plays out in real life?
If Windows were to disappear the world would be very, very dark inside.

Here is an article on a study done by the University of Pittsburg.

People need to think about their headlines before they submit them. I thought this was about the difficulties Mac programmers face in today's world.
This person isn't very smart. Why didn't he try it on one $20 bill to start with rather than all of them?

Anyone notice the logo at the bottom? Looks like they're running some sort of OS/2 Warp. Cool!

Ruby2 will have Unicode support. Read this.

Yes you can.All of the music files are contained within those directories. Copy away. It even works for DRM AAC's.

You just blew the premise of the movie in that post. Thanks!

Sounds like a Godzilla-style movie.
