I recognized Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Quest of the Delta Knights, Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders, and my all time favorite: Space Mutiny. Great googly-moogly that is a bad movie. I haven't seen the Manos or Future War episodes though.
Anyone know where i could get old LimeWire versions for the Macintosh?
Me too. 1.8 has been a major disappointment; it seems slower and it returns less hits. Plus I have no need for their mp3 player. I have a copy of LimeWire 1.7c for OS 9/Classic but I need a copy of 1.7c for OS X. Anyone out there know where I can get it?
That is one of my favorite features of omniweb but I've switched back to IE because OmniWeb can be so SLOOOOOWWW sometimes. Plus it had trouble on some of the sites I like to go to. But the buttons and the smoothed text are gorgeous.
You're right. I misremembered the FAQ. Here's the section you're talking about...
To transfer music between your computers, or to add songs to iPod from both systems, you can selectively drag and drop songs, albums, or playlists between iPod and either computer using the manual update mode.
MP3 files copied to the iPod from one Mac to the iPod CAN'T be offloaded onto a different computer.
You can copy mp3s from one computer to the next but you cannot use iTunes to do it. You must copy over the mp3 file as if it were any other data file (ie use the Finder to do the copying and not iTunes). There is a FAQ out there with the info. It is in PDF format.
My bet is that it is a FireWire HD but that somewhere in the ROM is the firmware plus a version of itunes. The iTunes version on the iPod just reads/plays everything that it recognizes as a mp3 file on the HD. Everything else it just ignores. That seems like the simplest way to me.
My bet is that you will never see a version of iTunes for Windows/Linux. Which means that there would be some other way (winamp plugin). But then again Apple may make a version of iTunes for Windows just to piss of Microsoft.
yeah it would be neat but here's the problem: ogg doesn't have the market penetration that mp3 has. nobody downloaded ogg files off napster. ogg wasn't reported on cnn, wsj, nytimes.
what you should be happy about is that there is no MS/RIAA imposed digital rights managment bullshit that limits the device.
Unfortunately it's inevitable. Tomorrow's software will always require more resources than today's. New features means more code and why upgrade from software package A to A.1 (or B) unless its got more features. Each year processors, storage and RAM get faster and cheaper. Without borders (like limited storage or processing cycles) there is nothing to keep feature creep and code bloat in check. Developers have no incentive to write slimmer code since the market doesn't demand it.
And no, open source isn't going to change these facts. Open source creates piles of spaghetti code just like microsloth.
KDE has also come a long way in 5 years but honestly, how much of the GUI has been "appropriated" from Windows? It's really easy to progress quickly if you have something from which to copy.
This is the kind of knee-jerk, reactionary legislation that scares me most. "We need to destroy our freedom in order to save it." If we're going to just trample all over the Constitution of the United States, we might as well just merge the FBI and CIA into a new organization called the KGB and call ourselves the Soviet Union 2.0
iCab is a really good web browser. My favorite feature is the little happy face that tells you how standards compliant your web page is (happy face = compliant, sad face = no compliant). I use it all the time to fix my html mistakes that other browers will overlook.
Is Eric Schmidt the guy to lead Google into new markets, expand their business, and take them thru an IPO? Personally, I'm a bit worried about him as their CEO. Granted Novell was already on the way down when he took the helm, but to have negative market growth for the 4 years you were in charge? I'll admit I never followed Novell, nor do I know much about him, but his past performance bothers me. Was Novell too far gone for Schmidt to make a difference (although he had 4 years to do something)? Is Google too golden to be affected by him (ie could any bum off the street take Google thru an IPO)?
Why else would you resist a method that has been shown to reduce crime (locally)?
Because I don't like the idea that I am assumed to be a criminal when I am not. Nor do I like the idea of any entity (government or otherwise) keeping tabs on me. In the past government has to have a warrant to put you under surveilance. With these systems, now they can do the same thing without a warrant.
One possible way to defeat these systems is to have everyone wear halloween masks in areas with these cameras. It's tough to figure out who is who if we all look like Richard Nixon. Perhaps citizens in areas with these systems can organize a protest by walking around these areas with masks on. If someone will pay for airfare to Tampa plus hotel accomidations, I'll make some time to come down there and take part in such a protest.
Assassination is assassination is assassination. How is it that Israel's targeting of Hamas, Force 17, or Palestinian Authority cops is OK? I don't recall any of the Palestinians targeting Peres, Sharon, or Barak. I missed Syria on the list, I scanned it quickly since I'm trying to watch a football game on ESPN2. You should amend your blanket statement about Israel being a girl scout comepared to it's neighbors to maybe only when compared to Syria. As far as the PLO's Conquest by Stages: I'd be pissed as shit too if some foreign force came and kicked me out of my home, tore it down, and relocated me to some camp. What Israel has done is wrong plain and simple.
And I would like to say that I agree with some of the other people who call Israel an artificial state. I think that they are right in describing it as such.
Israel is not a girl scout. It has admitted to a policy of assassination (in a CNN article this morning the IDF said they were specifically try to kill a particular person). In 1967 Israel attacked Egypt. Their settlement policy of seizing Palestinian owned land and then creating settlements on it is not the work of a girl scout. Also, none of Israel's neighbors are listed as countries of state sponsored terrorism
I'm half Irish-Catholic too. But I can't fault Sinn Fein. They are trying to get the money they need to fight a war against an occupying force. It's not any different than Ben Franklin going to France to get aid for the US Revolutionary War. I do, however, take exception to some of the tactics that the IRA has used. I can't condone some of the things they have done.
I think it was on 60 Minutes (CBS) this past weekend.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of these sealed "unspecified" warrants. If the government is conducting a search you the warrant should state specifially what it is and that information should be available to you. I don't like the idea of phantom charges. This country is slowly getting more fascist every day and both Democrats and Republicans are to blame. (Don't get me started on what I think of seizure laws as they relate to drug charges)
TimeWarner here in Austin did a major reshuffle of the channels and also added a UPN channel as well as a bunch of other garbage. I guess my Buffy watching friends complained enought that TimeWarner added UPN rather than listen to them bitch. Maybe TW-Cinci has the same thing in store.
You've hit the nail on the head regarding the PaRappa game. When I first saw Link I thought "Damn, that looks like the character from that rap game", but I couldn't think of the name of the game. My question know is: will Link rap too?

Are we speaking of the MacOS or of Linux here?
Some dude took his iBook apart and removed the the white coating inside the plastic shell. You could paint that part black if you wanted.

I've heard of this hydrogen/carbon mixture. IIRC it is actually stored sunshine from a really ,really long time ago.

The US Constitution expicitly prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment". I would expect other countries to have the same sort of provisions.

Sinn Fein gets away with with raising money in this country and we know where that money goes (Northern Ireland if you don't know).
