If you think that the public has more power than the large corporations, please go and work for GW's reelection campaign. The rest of us know better. Corporations run this country. Until we overhaul the way Congress does business, it will only get worse.
Dude, you're way off topic, but I'll rebut...

Safari Beta 2 Available

Sendmail and sshd were both cracked recently and needed updated. The guys who code these programs were on the ball and had patches ready and waiting just hours after the security holes were discovered. Both a Linux box and my dual 1.42GHz Mac system needed updated. Here's a breakdown of how this went on my Mac:
1. open System Preferences's Software Update Control Panel
2. hit the CHECK NOW button
3. hit the INSTALL button
4. wait for Mac OS to download, install, and optimize the updates
Total time: 4 minutes
Now here's how it went in Linux. I was severely unimpressed:
1. download the source code for sendmail and sshd
2. check the readme file for library and driver version requirements
3. download new library files
4. compile new library files
5. update older applications not compatible with new versions of library files
6. compile source for sendmail and sshd
7. email a mailing list about errors during compilation
8. wait a few days for the correct response
9. recompile new sendmail and sshd
10. update Linux kernel with patches
11. reboot Linux
Total time: 200 minutes (over the course of 3 days)
What version of Linux were you using? With Debian, its like this:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Sendmail and sshd exploits taken care of.
BTW, I own an iBook. I'm running 10.2.5 on it. So I know the pluses and minuses of each.
Safari is still unable to create folders inside of folders in the bookmarks. For instance, I want to create a folder called Development. Then create folders called PHP, Perl, and Java and place them within the Development folder. Can't do this in Safari. At least I haven't figured out how.
I immediately thought of this one. I was a senior in high school at the time and a member of the baseball team. We talked about this for about a week in practice. This guy was going to change baseball history. We got a kick when we found out it was an April Fool's Joke.
Microsoft was found guilty. It's the remedy phase that was the joke. Judge Coleen whatever her name was really had the wool pulled over her eyes by Microsoft. I bet Judge Thomas Jackson is laughing. He should call Bush and say I told ya so.
Same thing here. I always admired Mac hardware but couldn't stand their OS's. It was like running Windows 3.1. But when OS X came out I became very interested. I bought an iBook last April. Sold it in September for the same price I bought it for. And bought another one in October. Now I'm waiting for the IBM processor to make it into the iMac and then I'll get one of those as well.
That seems to be the answer for everything. Of course, if you're out of work and can't find a job, tax breaks don't really help. As long as corporations have more rights than citizens, we will continue to get screwed.
My 500mHz iBook felt slow too. Jaguar seemed to improve it a little though. But I sold it and got a 700mHz iBook with 100mhz FSB and better video and it rocks. Much faster than the other one. Hopefully this can hold me over for a while. I bought it in October and in November Apple released the 800mhz iBook with a bigger hard drive and dropped the price $200. Oh well.
If I had the choice between downloading an album or buying the Cd, I'd buy the CD. I could always make my digital music from the CD plus I'd still have a better sounding option being the CD.
The record labels still don't get it. Here's what they need to do to be successful:
1. Open their catalogs. Why should I be limited? They call me a pirate for downloading music, but if its the only way I can listen to something that's no longer in print, how does that make me the pirate?
2. LOWER YOUR PRICES.
3. LOWER YOUR PRICES. $18 is way too much to pay for a CD. $10 should be the maximum.
4. Make singles available again. Most of the crap being promoted today doesn't warrant buying the whole album. I buy albums of those artists I really like. Let me just purchase the singles for songs I like.
5. LOWER YOUR PRICES. Sell all your CD's for $10. I notice the new releases go for $11.99. Why can't I buy music from the 60's, 70's , 80's, and 90's for the same price?
6. LOWER YOUR PRICES. You must not realize that you have competition in DVD's. If I've got $20 to burn, I'll probably go for the DVD instead of the CD when they cost about the same.
I'm glad they told Microsoft to F??? off! But to choose Simdesk instead? Sounds like someone went with the local guy since Simdesk is out of Houston I believe I read. They would have been much better off going with Open Office or even Corel.
But you are missing the point. You only have to install Debian once. After that you are done. No more installations. Only upgrades that work correctly. I hear so many people that upgrade from Mandrake 8.0 to 8.1 to 8.2 to 9.0 to 9.1. I think thats more wasted time than taking the time to do a Debian install.
It will take Microsoft 5 years to get it right. They release now so that Apple won't get a corner on the market. Of course, Microsoft's Tablet will be crap now, but people will buy anyway. Then either their Tablet will get good enough to use in 5 years or they'll kill off any competition in the market and then decide to kill theirs down the road.
Another factor, IMO, is the seeming death of the theme album. I ask this question with all honesty: is there anything from the 90's and later that is equivalent to Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, The Wall, and Bat Out of Hell? I'm open to expand my contemporary music tastes here -- let the titles fly.
How about Nirvana's Nevermind. It probably changed the face of Rock more than any other album before it or since. It got rid of the crap spandex hair bands of the 80's like Motley Crue, Cinderella, Warrant, Poison, and whoever else fit in that category.

Like Aerosmith is better than Kenny G.

They mention using Roxio's Toast for creating the SVCD. I just copied the image files and toc to my linux box and used cdrdao to create the SVCD.

Even Sheryl Crow was doing USO tours in Bosnia when Clinton was in office, and now wears anti-military shirts. Hypocrite).
Supporting your troops and protesting a war are not mutually exclusive. Plus maybe she felt we had more reason to be in Bosnia than Iraq.

Dude, you made my day. I can't stop laughing over this one!
Its one of my favorite films of all time. Yeah its unbelievable, but its a great story with great acting.
I wore out so many joysticks playing this console. The Activision games were the best!
I believe daddy had something to do with this.

Maybe my old company Great Bridge will go back into business. Someone forward this story to Frank Batten!

It took this case for you to see how stupid the DMCA is?

Mod mudshark up! I never knew there were so many George Bush, corporate loving, environmental hating slashdotters. Kind of makes me sick.
