Don't think so, otherwise he would know that Putin's not up for re-election (he's already had two terms, and that's the maximum under the current constitution.
I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. With that kind of instant, pinpoint, transglobal accuracy, the military could do a lot of really cool things that we're simply not seeing right now. Never mind the time in transit of an ICBM, or the time that it takes to move an order such as that through the chain of command..
It's built in, and it's called Migration Assistant.
I've done it with a few Macs now, and it works like a charm. It transfers the old users over, along with all of their data, along with applications and settings (if you want).
All done over a firewire connection, so it's nice and fast.
I work in the creative industry. In fact, I'm a photographer.
As such, I know quite a few people who could easily be classified as a 'creative type'.
None of them care too much about being 'cool', and have made informed decisions about what computer platform is best for them - and all of them (ALL OF THEM) use a Mac.
Most (I'll say nearly all) of these people are not those "damned iPod-permanently-attached-to-my-life" people either. They're serious businessmen who run their stuff quite efficiently and effectively, thank you very much.
Enron. Worldcom. Hell, our favourite target here on/. - Microsoft. Wal-Mart. Anderson Accounting. De Boers. Shell and how they would incite insurrections inside foreign countries.
Look. My point is not that corporations are evil. It's that putting your complete faith into the 'free market' is sometimes a losing proposition. Corporations have their place. Governments have theirs.
I believe that when my rights begin to trample on another's, then my right either isn't worth having anymore, or it's application must be modified.
I believe that all people have a basic right to certain services - and some people (for whatever reason) just can't afford them. While it might feel really good for me to be able to go out and pick and choose how I can get the services I need, economic factors dictate that some people cannot get them on their own.
If my slight loss of the freedom to choose the source of a service means that many other people have access to services they otherwise would not have been able to afford, then not only do they benefit, but I have too.
A large company has one and only one motivation. Profit. (In fact, if they're a publically traded corporation, they have a LEGAL responsibility to maximize profit.)
Do you really and honestly believe that you'll get the best possible deal from a large company?
I'm thinking that China has learned that it can control and rule the world through means other than military might.
While America is strong, its true strength comes from it's economy and how much control it can exert over the world markets. (In fact, I'd argue that America is diluting it's might by constantly trying to express it militarily - an economic and social solution to their problems would be much more effective, imo.)
The Chinese are students of history and have learned from that example and are taking the long view. They'll dominate the world eventually, and we probably won't even notice until it's too late. I don't forsee China invading anyone with their military, but their economy and their culture will one day be the most pervasive in the world
Problem is, you can only deauthorize 5 Computers a year. So if you're a student working in a computer lab, you can't authorize your music in different machines through the year, because at some point, you're going to run out of deauthorizations.
I stand corrected. But I've never met a pro that runs it - all seem to gravitate to Aperture, Adobe Camera Raw or (especially) Capture One Pro.
Do you know of any comparisons of Bibble against ACR, Aperture or C1Pro? I can't seem to find any - the pro websites I frequent don't seem to know about it.... though I must say I'm intrigued, if only for the speed of conversion!
Linux can read jpegs, but not being able to use RAW is like not being able to use second gear in a car, or having an oven that only works at one temperature. Useful, yes, but you find yourself working around the limitations of the technology, rather than taking full advantage of your hardware.
I'm a photographer, and you should know this: RAW allows so much more freedom that using anything else is crippling yourself. So Linux not being able to read RAW is a HUGE deal for me.
Haha.... from the link: "The eye's design actually appears to be optimized around the physical limits of the visible light spectrum"
Of course it is. That's why we call it the visible light spectrum. Because we can see it. Thus making it visible. If we could see more of the spectrum, then we'd call that visible too, and our eyes would be 'optimized around that spectrum.
Seriously. This sort of circular logic is the reason I've stopped listening to the ID folks. I just smile, nod, and say "I have to go over there now."
Trust me - blanks are nowhere NEAR as loud as a ball round - its orders of magnitude louder with real ammunition - blanks can easily be fired without hearing protection (not recommended, slightly uncomfortable, but doable), whereas live ammunition fired from a machine gun like a SAW at any kind of sustained rate will make you temporarily deaf and will permanently damage your hearing. It's freaking LOUD.
Perhaps we should coin a new law for the Internet and call it Nixon's Law:
Nixon's Law states that:
Any discussion of resonable length on the Internet will eventually devolve into a discussion about Google.
C'mon man. It's just a search engine. They've managed to index a whole lot of content and it *is* quite useful, but it's still a search engine - I'm not quite convinced that Google is the second coming, or even the cure for cancer.
It's amazing how the flavour of the moment is always the solution to all our problems - but if history serves, Google will be an important and perhaps integral part of our future society and economy - but it will not be the universal solution that we seem to think it will be.
Why would they bother with trying to preclude Windows from the Apple hardware?
I'm sure they'd like to sell as much hardware as they can, and wouldn't mind all that much if people went and purchased it from them (regardless of what they do with it afterwards.....
If you make claims like that, don't back it up with allusions to conspiracy. Give some examples of these guys getting caught. Be prepared to prove yourself.

What causes you to make this claim?
All you need to do is explain to them why you know you don't know.
Perhaps that student will find out.

Neat! One example!

Ever heard of buying in bulk?
Perhaps the government can meet more needs per dollar because it has more money to spread around (so much that economies of scale start to kick in)?
32 bits is mostly useless for the purposes of image editing right now.
No adjustment layers, most tools don't work at all.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen a massively retarded child used as an analogy in an argument.

Then what?
You're right!
Except for Laserdisc.
and VCD.
and digital tape.
But other than that, you're absolutely right!
I am getting sick and tired of these lame "When I read that line I though it said 'blah', oh well, wouldn't that be great?"
Know what I think when I read those? "Wow, that person can't read!"
They're not funny.
Stop it.

Good and evil aside, I'd say that's a little more balanced.
