I was kinda surprised to find windows styles My Pictures folder inside of my (lower case m) Documents folder after i played with spore for a bit. Poking into the Spore Bundle, I found a Windows File system for the location of the Spore data. I was even able to drop the assets from the windows full version into this file system and add some parts!:D
Flash-lite, just like Bud-light, and Diet Coke is just an imitation of it's namesake that does not address the needs of it's market.
Flash-lite has fewer APIs and features than it's big brother. Bud-light doesn't get you drunk (or taste like beer, but thats also a problem with it's big brother.) Diet Coke will give you cancer (see Aspartame) - a good way to loose weight... and hair and eventually life.
it's a GSM device and only 2 of the big US carriers are GSM Did you know that the US only represents a small portion of the world? did you know that GSM is used in every market in the world, and CDMA is only used in the US? sure only 2 US carriers are GSM, but so are all the other carriers in the world!:P
Horsepoop. AT&T wasn't dragged kicking and screaming, they were willful participants...also note that AT&T's global presence is much better than Verizon's, so AT&T makes a better partner for Apple than Verizon. A north american ONLY company (with a dodgy history, and lots of name changes at that) has better global presence than a truly multinational company? Pass me some of what you're smoking, mine's not working!
SQL is designed for relational databases and, in particular, joins are only EVER used in a multi-table, relational database. I would like to know more about this single table relational database concept you just implied exists, where should I start reading?;)

*it was an experimental upgrade from an iBook, i wanted to see if i could get osx86 to work on it... i think i'll get a new HD and try again!:D

Done this with RAR archived stuff as well. (Multipart rars on torrents are retarded, but that's another issue entirely.) any idea why the multipart RAR torrents tend to have healthier swarms than single file torrents of the same content? it pisses me off!
The same goes for those "100 top sites" you mentioned. They aren't invalid because valid code is impossible to get working, they are invalid due to apathy and ignorance. In practically every case, you could take a mildly competent developer, throw the code at him, and have it valid in next to no time. Hell, in many cases, a program can do it automatically! The cases where invalid code is actually required to achieve a particular effect are far and few between these days. Or you could pay the same mildly competent developer to do something useful, like fix bugs that cause problems or add features. Or do it right the first time!
Except some wanker will come along to get the woman by saying, "My satellite is bigger, shinier and nicer!" nah, she just got bored and moved on, but since she had already taken my virginity at that point, it's all good.
well, assemble implies that you already have all the pieces (you do), sort of like ASSEMBLING a puzzle. or a desk.
follow implies that it'll show you anything new that comes in (i can't recall ottomh if it does this but i'd be surprised if it doesn't). think of following a trail. or a conversation.

If any company can build an install base it's Adobe. Look at the penetration of Flash. step 1: create cool idea (See FutureSpash) step 2: sell cool idea to bigger company (See Macromedia) step 3: bigger company does all the heavy lifting to get product bundled with the number 1 and number 2 operating systems (See Microsoft, Apple) step 4: get bought by Adobe
yep, Adobe sure does know how to build an install bases. @.@
for other examples, see PageMaker and Freehand. (both killed by Adobe after an acquisition (or 2 in the case of Freehand!)) Is it just me or is Adobe cribbing notes from Microsoft's playbook?
here is your middle ground: a birth lottery. in this system there is no such thing as the creme of the crop. only would be mommies and daddies hoping to get a birth right by buying a lottery ticket. if you win, you get to go to parenting school, and from there, THEN you can have a baby. think you want a 2nd kid? go get another lotto ticket!
what they do in china with the 1 child per couple rule is horrendous, it only guarantees the population only shrinks. a birth lotto allows the government to specify exactly how many children are born in a given year.
the best way to enforce this is to have the government forcibly temporarily sterilize half of the population population, and then reverse it upon graduation from parenting school. there could be other solutions, such as forced abortions, but those are probably a little more traumatic.
on the other hand, this system would legalize the term bastard: an unlicensed child.
while procreation is a fact of life, homo sapien sapiens have shown that they will overpopulate and destroy an environment. if there was some kind of universal population control, overpopulation and war would be a thing of the past.
aren't pipe dreams wonderful? It would mean the enslavement of the entire world. China is just an experiment in population control. Al Gores international carbo^HHHHHH* life tax we will fund something, why not this?
*carbon dioxide is NOT a green house gas. CO2 is a waste product of animals breathing oxygen. O2 is a waste product of plants breathing CO2. it's a symbiotic system, and if you look at the periods in the past with high CO2 figures, they also had high LIFE figures. Methane on the other hand IS a green house gas.
I like the more broad

Unfortunately, those rich fucks that hold 'most' assets, keep those assets in non-dollar denominations, and off of US soil. Face it, the elites have sold us into slavery to the banks and are off playing on there artificial islands in Dubai.
Actually, my basic complaint is that in the default view for each OS, it's not intuitively obvious which icons represent files or links to files which are directly executable. None of the three OS has this as a feature, to the best of my knowledge. With leopard, one feature you have is called Quick Look. QL shows you a preview of the selected file if it can read it. if it can't, it shows a bunch of metadata about the file, including it's type (Application, vs Microsoft Word Document to use the example mentioned earlier).
And before that we had column view. Column view shows you a bunch of metadata (yes, including file type) on the selected item - unless that item is a folder, than it shows it's file list in the next column over.
And before THAT we had list view. In list view you have a bunch of columns showing us a bunch of selectable metadata (inclusing - you guessed it - it's file type) on all visible files. List view has existed in some form or another on the macintosh since 1984. If you slow down and pay attention to the metadata that is being presented to you, you might notice that it tells you when you're about to open an application!

I play this game all the time. this is a game that can not be done on any other platform. it's like the wii, it's a brand new gaming market.
and get the receipt notarized for crying out loud!

it all depends on what i'm doing i guess...
it's the NEXT lay thats the problem....
last i checked 4 GB of RAM was still high end on a typical system... mayhap you meant 2GB is typical?

while it doesn't pop up any warnings, if you plug in a hard drive it'll ask you if you want to start backing up to it. it's all automatic from there.
when i was thirteen, they didn't talk about the internet on the radio! :P

well, water IS 2/3 hydrogen, and 1/3 oxygen... and thats what they use to launch the space shuttle, so water must be an explosive!
they should move first class to the back of the plane and then all the rich fucks might have to see how crappy the rest of the plan is....
