and they made up for the extra space by including 4 commentaries AND 7 channel audio!
i haven't seen the theatrical DVD, but i'm willing to bet that they used the same bit-rate for the video portion, and just shoved in a whole hell of a lot of audio to fill the space:)
ah, but on the other side of the coin you have 10% - 15% of the overall market (not new sales in the past years) who is starved for games. that means that you are practically garnered to sell the game to 5-10% (you have to face facts - you won't sell a copy to every mac user) of the market if you sell it for the mac. if you sell it for windows, there is so choice that your game probably won't be noticed. it's all signal to noise. the mac has very little noise, windows has a ton. (linux has even less noise!)
yes there have been nose dives for the mac (deer hunter anyone?) but there have also been some huge successes (Quake III, the Myst series, any Bungie title, any PopCap title)
I'm lucky enough to not normally see florescent lights, but i do get headaches from them.
monitors otoh... i can't even stand 85 Hz....
and i'm stupidly getting into the IT business - with SAFE MODE! (it's not the color depth that gets to me, but i want to puke if i look at a 60 Hz screen for more then 2 minutes)
at that case, if you manually sort it (uhg) it burns them with 001, 002 etc in front of each track - thats how i always do my disks, although i actually hit random at the bottom.
it burns your play lists in the order they are sorted. if you sort them by artist, you'll get a folder for each artist, and one for each album inside of that! at least thats how iTunes 3 burned the 1 CD i did that way (by accident)
Expose is a feature of the OS you can't remove it, but you CAN turn it off. Safari is an app that includes a library (KHTML/WebKit) that a few other apps need in order to run - see SubEthaEdit. This will only get worse now that Safari, and it's libraries are included with the OS. Finder while an App separate from the OS, is not nearly as simple to get rid of as, say, iChat.
Saddly, it seems that apple is doing almost as much integration as Microsoft...:\
i don't know about the BlueTooth argument, but think back to your old Packard Bell. it ran what, Windows 95? (it might have run Windows 98, but USB was on systems before 98 shipped) guess what, it didn't have USB, it only had useless plugs in the back. it was probably disabled in the BIOS too.
continue thinking back in that time frame... how many USB devices were there? now apple ships this amazing new computer that _only_ has USB for hooking up peripherals, and suddenly there was an explosion of devices for USB.
i'm not claiming that apple got BlueTooth going, and i'm not claiming that they got PCI going (they didn't, they adopted an established standard in this case) but they sure as hell got USB out of it's death bed, as they did for FireWire, a technology that apple _invented_ almost a decade before they started to support it!
In the Curse of Monkey Island On the first Island there is a clock tower that displays the same time as your system clock and if you click on it Threepwood would say the time to you (the time is... at the beep, BEEP)
hmmm i just fired it up in SkummVM, and it shows 10:00 (for the record it's now 8:00 PM) and clicking on it got "TEN O'CLOCK", then "STILL TEN O'CLOCK", and lastly "SEEMS LIKE IT'S ALWAYS TEN O'CLOCK ON THIS ISLAND." could be the SkummVM, or you could be remembering wrong (was it a different monkey island?)
You disagree, but only offer anectodal evidence based on your own experience. You switched from a desktop to a notebook as your primary machine, so of course you aren't going to be wild about multiple monitors anymore.
yeah, i ment to pick out this peice of text at the beginning of my rant:
But once you've used a dual, you'll never go back.
put into the right context, pla offers just as much anectodal evedance:P
i have a dual headed desktop, and a completly seperate notebook. when i 1st got my notebook, i felt a little constrained with only 1 screen, but i stil used it as my primary machine. now, 3 years later, i use the notebook as my primary machine, and my dual headed box as my music server/player (both screens off) file server (both screens off) web server (both screens off) and gaming box (one screen on)
the only time i turn both screens on is when i'm using photoshop on that box - once in a blue moon.
and before you ask, tower is a Power Mac G3 (Blue & White) with 1 GiB of RAM and a 550 MHz PPC 7410. the graphics cards on that box are the OEM ATi Rage 128 with 16 MiB of graphics memory, and a ATi Nexus 128 - a Rage 128 with 32 MiB of graphics memory, both of these cards are in PCI, as G3 has no AGP slot. the notebook is a PowerBook G4/500 - its a 500 MHz PPC 7410, also with 1 GiB of RAM, but only a 8 MiB Rage128 Mobility - on 2x AGP.
given those stats, i'd say that the tower would be a faster feeling machine. the 32 MiB Rage128 helps for games, but the rest of the system feels slower...:\
yes. all TiBooks, and all shipping iBooks _STILL_ use ADB for there keyboard and trackpads. i don't know about the AlBooks, but i don't see why they should be any different! (otoh, apple did just shift the internal modems to be on USB rather then classic serial, so keyboards can't be far behind)

can you point me to the software that will pop up a password request box overliad over the real box on...
OK (scroll most of the way down to "A Secure Keychain")
a woman's razor?
thats why i saved up for the $50,000 cardboard box ^_^
my family has a habit of yelling "Product placement!" at the TV... it's starting to carry over into games too! (played SSX3 yet?)
POSIX compliance
Doesn't being case insensitive violate POSIX? Or has that been fixed?
yes
gah! it's a semi-ontopic troll - even if all the "facts" are still as wrong as ever

i said the messenger serivce not MSN Messenger
similar names, functions from opposite ends of the spectrum.
Microsoft Windows and that dastardly Messenger service. (enabled by default) that would be the most insidious adware out there.
oh and i guess XP qualifies for spyware with that nasty activation "feature" (though not quite)

There are many registered and even more anonymous users currently online. Current bandwidth usage: 1401.99 kbit/s
:)
many? even more? i think they've cut back on there scripts

As for the Finder, it really couldn't be much easier to get rid of. Log in as root and replace it with whatever finder replacement you'd like.
:P
like i said, it isn't as simple to get rid of as iChat. you don't need root to kill iChat

thats part of my point. there is also the fact that USB defaulted to being disabled in the BIOS in those days!

But will it still work with ADB keyboards?
yes. all TiBooks, and all shipping iBooks _STILL_ use ADB for there keyboard and trackpads. i don't know about the AlBooks, but i don't see why they should be any different! (otoh, apple did just shift the internal modems to be on USB rather then classic serial, so keyboards can't be far behind)
