what the future holds for this would-be technology. I was a little disappointed to see a year or so ago when Apple bought a license for that stupid one-click thing...perhaps more telling, now, will be if others license or use 'One-Click.'
that may say a lot about how the settlement actually went...
Re:Mac Installation Still Works Like That???

while checking all the dependencies on my gnu-darwin apps is great fun for recreation, and having to restart after basically everything on my win2k machine is sometimes amusing, i *LOVE* the drag-app-here style of install. what could be better?
mozilla is my main browser, irc client, mail client, etc. on my win2k machine and on my macs. if chimera really is better, i'll be instantly converted. especially if the improvements come in the area of speed.;)
i can't help but notice on my first search, the most interesting case to come up was the red raids/palmer raids of the 1920s. this is more than just a censorship issue, it's more of a civil liberties issue. saying that this site is about internet censorship is a fairly narrow interpretation, or at least a fairly narrow use.
Online rights is a seminal issue, but the smaller fights sometimes obscure the new and much larger reality. Censorship as we used to know it is no longer a viable option as long as there is a World Wide Web. [tell that to the average saudi or chinese user... ]
online rights is certainly an issue, but as this exhibit (the fileroom website) points out, it's part of a larger problem. in my opinion, it's an important part, but not the largest part. i'm not sure that jonkatz intended it as such, but it seems to me that online censorship is the "smaller fight" to civil liberties' "much larger reality."
my understanding is that *.rtf is owned by microsoft as well...readable by quite a few programs, but still...so is *.doc. and
(here's the one i expect to need nomex undies for) i have a ton of open source software running on my macs (plural), but i still have to run office to survive at work.
i know that many will disagree, and it's a little ugly to say in such a general fashion, but the open source software that people suggest as office replacements is still a little ways from complete enough to actually be those replacements. this is my opinion of course, and i would expect that many will disagree...;)
yeah...that would be nice. that *will* be the end of MS, and that's why they will not willingly open up their formats, and further will not go out of their way to support others' formats...
The advantage of laser weapons is that they strike at the speed of light.
This way, we'll put even less thought into decimating villagers and frienly troops along with the meanies. oh goody.
on another topic: the USAF hopes to fit it to a whole range of manned and unmanned aircraft, such as the Predator reconnaissance probe, which is fitted with Hellfire missiles and has been used in CIA operations in Afghanistan.
didja ever wonder about data encryption, wireless communications, etc. with unmanned craft? yipes...
Plus, from the macroeconomics courses I have taken it seems like deflationis really hard to pull off, and requires people not to be buying stuff and a *loss* of overall money as compared to overall goods/items. this might happen in this model if the model does not put more money into the system (loan more money out, or in oldentimes, print more money) as more players arrive.
I agree... at least to some extent. we've been able to get some decent PCs at respectable prices from HP lately. perhaps the desktops and laptops they're making might be blended with what Compaq is doing, though.
the dedicated track *is* a problem...for the reasons outlined in the above post. indeed, the reason for track to begin with is that you can mvoe big heavy nasty things full of tons of people from oneplace to another real safe real fast. {phew!}
since everybody wants to go where they want to go, and not where anybody else wants to go, and very few are willing to walk an extra block or two if not absolutely necessary, that makes for a lot of track!
one of the other noteable features of rail transit, the world over, is its relatively safe operation. this is in large part a result of hardware safeties and rigorous training programs for Operators. If transit was as capricious and willy-nilly as highways with respect to hardware controls and training, *i* sure as hell would not be taking the train to work! [also of note is the American driver's resistance to experimental control devices, such as those that would keep cars a certain distance from the ones ahead, or in the lane of travel...]
why cant they just drop you off and let you walk a couple blocks to your destination?
they could, but that would never float in the U.S., as long as people have the perception that driving their car directly to where they want to be is a viable option.
note that trace-able billing in public transportation is already manifested in the U.S. Take for example Washington Metro's proximity cards. Some of these types are permanent cards, assigned to a user, and in some cases that user is postivitely identified.
yeah, that's what i hate about my osxMac, too...it runs whatever software i want...needs no prodding for drivers or DLLs...runs reliably for months on end...lacks most of the gaping security orifices...my cats can use it...OSX really does suck.

thank god...
now, here's my (o-ess-ex user's) article-o-meter:
'stupid diary! - 57'
'good point! - 3'
also note that the pendrive explicitly states that it doesn't work on 10.3.1 ... so i'm not sure that *directly* applies here =)

mozilla rocks after the update...a huge improvement on my end. ;)

...there are a lot of people gonna be *real* surprised at this part. Take for example embedded devices or internet appliances...
indeed...this may be a very good summary of the way U.S. patent law works in reality. Prior use. ;)
