Don't like the terms? Don't use the code. How easy can that be?
Don't be such a dimwit. When I can take a copy of the latest Britney Spears album and make as many copies as I like, provided I also distribute the sheet music with it, then your comparison might make some sense.
Lots of people are as enthusiastic towards high-end car audio as some other people are towards having a pointing device with 10 buttons and three scroll wheels. (This latter group, incidentally, is generally composed of the same people who subscribe to PC Enthusiast Magazine, regard Norton Systemworks as The Best Thing Ever, declared Win98SE to be superior to Windows 2000, and had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the late 90s and Windows XP.)
Unless you're looking to get some Kia loving, it's hard to buy a good car that doesn't include a stereo system. Kia is the Packard Bell of cars.
Okay. Let's go with realism. I've used both Apple and PC-based (mostly IBM and Dell) laptops and desktops for the past few years. Let's see how they stack up.
LAPTOPS: On Apple's portables, control-clicking is EASIER than having a two-buttoned trackpad. When I want to reach down to click, I do so with my right thumb, as the heel of my hand pivots to the left slightly, and my thumb extends in that direction. If I want to pop up a contextual menu, my left pinky hits Control as I click with my right thumb. This is very easy and intuitive. Having a two-buttoned trackpad would force me to move my thumb into an awkward position in order to do this.
DESKTOPS: Apple's current mouse design does not permit two buttons without introducing severe usability issues, and, really, as you can get a multiple-buttoned mouse (with a scrollwheel if that gets you horny) easily enough, this isn't nearly as much of an issue.
PowerBooks have had the inverted T since the debut of the Apple PowerBook G3 Series (not the original PowerBook G3, which was really a bastardized 3400). In 1998.
If it doesn't run Ogg then can we actually say it will be useful? (tongue removed from cheek) Your tongue, sir, should be removed from Emmett Plant's ass.
Putting "unpolished" and "BSD" in the same sentence indicates that he either doesn't understand most BSD-based operating systems or the definition of the word "polish."

Don't like the terms? Don't buy the album.
I think the fact that we have 10.2.6 establishes that we're not using decimal points the same way as in math.
Decimal points in version numbers are more like *places* in numbers, except there's no defined base-n.
What I was referring to was that 10.2.10 is the same as 10.2.1
Uh. No. It isn't. Unless you think that 10 and 1 are the same number.
(Hint: They're not.)
Apple's getting back to responsible software versioning, a refreshing change from what we've seen in the past few years.
Slightly inexact analogy #24601:

Get off it with your elitism.

The market also decided that VHS is better than Beta, that Windows is better than all other comers, and that Britney Spears is listenable.
PowerBooks have had the inverted T since the debut of the Apple PowerBook G3 Series (not the original PowerBook G3, which was really a bastardized 3400). In 1998.
Using a different mouse button to bring up a contextual menu is, itself, an inferior hack.
...am I going to find phone numbers so I can pick up chicks?
I was answering his question, retard.
Work for half as much money.
No. But, then, they can't spraypaint on 1000 buildings a day.
There aren't--because suspected vandals are prosecuted, and, if found guilty, sentenced to fines, jail, community service, etc.
Quite the opposite, an activity so common that it is even practiced by 12 year olds, shouldn't be considered a cause for lawsuit.
Do you feel that way about vandalism, too?

WWDC seed was 7A179. There was a test SWU that tested the SWU functionality and also put in some fixes. Accordingly, the build was bumped to 7A202.

Christ. That's good for a huge carrier.
We posted 97.5% in 2002, which is probably somewhat easier to do when you only have $76.1m in P&C WP.
Is that 96% just loss ratio or combined ratio? If it's CR, that's incredibly good.
This is taking place in the UK, not the US.
Sorry to burst your bubble but I started the quad processor G5 rumor many months ago!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Ryan Meader started it three years ago.
CNN still seems to be very fond of it, they had a "Powered by EDirectory" logo on their website for a while
Yeah. And I'm sure they put that on there at no charge....
Putting "unpolished" and "BSD" in the same sentence indicates that he either doesn't understand most BSD-based operating systems or the definition of the word "polish."
but the end result is much too unpolished and BSD'ish for my tastes
You just proved, right there, that you are unqualified to judge operating systems.
No. We already found the right man for the job.
