Memorex is consistently one of the worst CD and DVD manufacturers around. They usually have 1-2 bad discs in a 10pack. One 10pack I bought actually had 6 bad cd's. I can't remember the link to a good CD evaluation site, but here's one for DVD's:
Ehhh... maybe. I personally believe if you're in the market for a PDA it's pretty likely that the difference between $100 for a PDA + $50 for a cell phone and $250 for a pda-phone isn't that big.
And I like how you picked the most expensive pdaphone and the cheapest PDA on the market for a comparison.
I wonder if blogger.com has a client app... Semagic will autocreate your HTML and other handy stuff (including spellcheck) to make posting as easy as sending an instant message.
Actually, it's easier than that. You add a link to your browser's toolbar and click that link whenever you want to write something. A little window pops up with a text field and a publish button. You write, you click. You're done.
Platform agnostic and doesn't force me to launch yet another worthless application on my desktop.
There's also a massive problem with illegaly-owned, uninsured cars and people driving them without the proper license.
So.. if I'm going to constantly get tickets in the mail, what's my motivation for having a legally owned car?
Sounds like you might help one problem while make the other worse.
Well, the one with the scaled down images is "expose" a feature that allows you to see apreview of every open window and choose which one you'd like to work with. A hint might have been the "expose" control panel where it tells you how this works.
They look pretty real to me. Although if that's all we get I'll be disappointed. All this time and we get expose and an ichat upgrade. Oh and labels, which I don't use. Just seems like for each.1 upgrade there's a bit more than just that, such as inkwell (I don't use it, but its a significant feature).
Also, The "new finder" reminds me suspiciously of the "new taskbar" or sidebar in windows XP windows. It's significantly different, but looks significantly sucky too.
1) They're a good professor and I want to learn more. This type of professor always has students in his/her office hours.
2) They're a terrible professor and their grading is illogical and/or unfair. This type of professor only has students in his/her office hours immediately before or after grading/exams.
So, if no one is visiting you you can either be happy that your grading is fair or sad that you're not very interesting to your students.

True. I'm not buying anything from the Apple store. But it's not just the brand that less evil. He got it so you can stream it and also burn it as many times as you'd like, something nobody else in the industry could get the record companies to agree to.
It doesn't really matter though. In 10 years, You're going to see the big 5 drop from 85% of the record industry to 40%, and we won't be complaining so much.
If switching to an AMD processor would be the death of apple, allowing windows programs to run transparently on OSX would be chopping apple into one-inch bits and sprinkling them throughout the world.
1) Run windows binaries transparently. 2) No more programs designed for OS X 3) Slower, more expensive computers that run the exact same programs as windows 4) No one buys macs anymore 5) PROFIT!
While I don't believe this article either, I don't think we can expect the two-year anticipation of PS3 that we did with PS2. The DC absolutely toasted the PS2 to market, and was vastly superior to the PS. PS2 is still a year and a half away, so what does Sony do? "Oh, here's the PS2. It plays DVD's. It's coming. It'll play your old PS games. Don't buy a DC for $100 wait and buy our PS2 in two years at $300."
Smart move. Sega's marketing always blew, and is (imo) the real reason Sony won out.
And no, I'm not talking about just marketing to consumers, but also marketing to developers, retail stores, etc.
Right... $.99 a song, but how many CD's are filled with good song's? Isn't that one of/.'s biggest complaints about the music industry? Selling out and putting out a crappy CD with 1-2 good songs on it?
Honestly, how many bands put out good CD's anymore? All I can think of is Godsmack, Linkin Park, and Bad Religion. Even on those Godsmack/LP CD's, there's 3-5 songs I don't particularly like.
It's not a bad idea IMO. Although I would prefer $.50 a song, but Apple's always overpriced:(
Calm down, sparky. He meant that by *browsing* he could have gotten quite a few more errors. If you build your browser into the OS, and the browsing gets kernel panics, yes you're allowed to criticize that OS.
I thought this was about the USC Marshall School's Case Competition. This year's case was on what the response should be the IP violations on the internet, and how to form a viable business model in the new industry structure. The teams did well, but one obviously didn't have a good grasp of tech cuz they couldn't tell if their solution was P2P or with a centralized server.
It should also be just as trivial to set up a server machine and the rest as client machines, where the home folders between the two are constantly sync'd. Network down? It's ok, you've got it stored on your pc. Take that laptop with you? no prob.
I'm not sure what law this breaks, but it must break some kind of privacy law. You have the right to own a gun. You don't have the right to monitor other people's sensitive information without informing them.
But do you really expect to make the transition to Hydrogen WITHOUT the support of the oil companies? It won't happen. As much of an idiot Bush is, he's smart to get the oil companies on board with Hydrogen.
I'm usually a "sacrifice no liberties" kinda guy, but if I've gotta let oil companies continue to have power in order to significantly reduce pollutants in the U.S., i'd do it. I'm actually much less worried about oil companies than I am about many, many other things right now.
Opera on Windows was pretty badass. Speedier than IE and had a few more features that I really liked.
On OSX, Opera isn't that fast, is probably the least standards compliant, has a bulky interface that requires multiple clicks to get anywhere and seems very disorganized.
Oh yeah, it costs money to boot.
As much as I wanted Opera for mac, now that I've seen it I don't know why I was asking for it. Stick to Windows:(

Be careful. Really. If you eat a lot of protien and no carbs you can seriously damage your liver. That's a bad thing.
Ehhh... maybe. I personally believe if you're in the market for a PDA it's pretty likely that the difference between $100 for a PDA + $50 for a cell phone and $250 for a pda-phone isn't that big.

Yep. He was just doing his job. It's like those people who always tell me they hate the police for giving them speeding tickets.
There are plenty of reasons to hate police. I've always found them to be relatively nice guys, except the LAPD. Don't get me started on LAPD.

Oh well we'll see.
How many times must we state that different rules apply when you're talking about companies that are monopolies and those that are not.
Uhhh... no its not. It references "Diablo II" which shipped for Mac 2 weeks after the PC version.
Was the best half a horror movie I've ever seen. It was absolutely great and 1/2way through how long a horror movie plot should be, and then it ended.
Very big bummer. There was no attempt to fight the monster.. it was like they had a great idea and then ran out of them, so they ended the movie.
Oh well, maybe JC2 will be as good (doubtful) with a middle/end (very doubtful).
I visit Professors for two reasons.
1) They're a good professor and I want to learn more.
This type of professor always has students in his/her office hours.
2) They're a terrible professor and their grading is illogical and/or unfair.
This type of professor only has students in his/her office hours immediately before or after grading/exams.

It's because they were told of the experiment before it happened, so after *every* change they tried even harder.
