Same thing for me, sort of. I got my G4 tower (733MHz 1.5GB RAM) with 10.1. It sucked balls. 10.2 was amazing and ran faster. 10.3 even faster. 10.4 not so much. I bought a new mac because running iLife (garage band primarily) was dog slow changing between software instruments. Other than that that old Quicksilver machine is still chugging along. I'm tempted to put 10.5 on it, but since it's been relegated to the back room, I don't see the point. In fact I'll probably go back to 10.3 and just fool around on it with 9.2 as well.
So long as you're running the same programs on it I don't see why it would be any less responsive. Just install DOS, VisiCalc, and your dot matrix printer, and ZOOM!
This is typical of most judges I've encountered. They are too lazy to actually understand the information in front of them they are adjudicating. For example, getting divorced. 10k pages of discovery and the judge just flips through it. No understanding of accounting or much of anything else. It's like arguing to a 5th grader about law. 99% goes over their head if it's not criminal related. So beware if you're in any kind of trial where it's a technical field, or hell, even anything with discovery beyond what the court 'thinks' is relevant.
Oh yeah, some moron TSA employee that makes $7.50/hour can really determine how much lithium is in your batteries. I trust them to measure properly. Like they did with my 3oz of hair gel.
This is fucking moronic. Yet another unnecessary safety step for no reason other than to inconvenience people for the perception (really does anyone believe we're safer when TSA fails almost every test they are put under) of safety.
Or better yet, just fucking get rid of it altogether. If it isn't physical, it shouldn't be patented, for example, 1 click buying. Are you kidding me? Amazing this world we've created.
How is that being a weasel? That's called entrepreneurship. See an opportunity and take a risk. If you can avoid all risk by having the option of returning your merchandise, c'est la vie. Ever notice how Borders/Barnes and Noble has a massive stack of coverless magazines in the trash? Instead of wasting money shipping them back to publishers for (god forbid) a credit. So take your lazy ass out and wait in line.
I got a Wii in March just walking through Walmart. The controllers ended up being more difficult to find. It's still new in the box on top of my piano. I was considering selling it but I don't want to buy it again either... so whenever I get time to actually play video games, I'll have a Wii (in addition to my Xbox, Xbox 360 and highend PC). If I do sell it I will certainly try to get as much as possible.
They did this when I worked at Andersen. It made sense there because hopefully you were out at client sites more than in the office. With a job where I go to the same place every day people will start to stake out their areas, not unlike seating in college.
For fun I used to move all around the room and sit in other peoples seats. They'd freak out at first but I'd actually talk about it, make friends (or enemies) and then move somewhere else. If the people weren't complete assholes (maybe 10% were pricks), the entire class would lighten up and become friends. I only had one class where that didn't happen. Ah, the think they're better looking and smarter than they are whores, how could I ever forget them;)
It will become a turf war if these people aren't actually out of the office more than they are in it. One more worry people have to take on (assuming they're anal retentive, which seems to be almost all the engineers, programmers, etc. that I know).
Yes and no. Can you imagine how many bands they could sign and promote for 132 Million a fucking year? NO wonder these morons are losing their asses. If you cannot bring shit to market better than Brittany why would anyone buy your music?
Congrats to EMI for waking up, but it's too little too late. Their business model is dead.
I use truecrypt and don't use the hidden partition. Although I have nothing that is incriminating. I simply don't want my company's code (on my pen drive), or my financial info (also on my pen drive) to be easily accessed should I drop it on the street.
I'm not sure how it can be called a missed opportunity when their OS only runs on THEIR hardware.
I love MacOS however my high end systems run windows because I refuse to hack OS X to run on them. So high end system runs Linux & Windows, I have a new Core 2 Duo 2Ghz Mini that runs OS X. Until I can get a 'reasonable' midrange Mac, I'll stick with what I've got. The only reason I got a new mac is my old G4 couldn't run GarageBand with enough tracks...:/
I fear the people that come out of prison. What does being raped for 3-5 years do to a person? It makes them a ticking time bomb. There is no chance for rehabilitation when people fear for their lives/safety while in government (or subcontractors) control.
I disagree. Sales is only as you described if you choose to make it so. Granted most sales people are full of shit. For my company my number one goal is honesty first. In fact, we try to undersell our product and support a bit to be certain we exceed our customers expectations.
Sales honesty and integrity is easy. That is of course assuming you have a corporate culture to back it up. The problem is, sales people are treated like restaurant waiters. Here's a place to work, now go hustle for tips. Oh btw you get to essentially work for free for that privilege. Shit jobs motivated me to graduate college, so I do owe them a bit of gratitude.
If people want honest sales they have to make it where the time to do the groundwork isn't spent stressing over commissions. My company gives bonuses for sales but they don't work like commissions. They are spread company wide, so everyone is a part.
Which apps specifically are you referring to that will not run in either OS X or Linux?
The only hiccup I've run into running Linux or OS X (on non-mac hardware no less) is getting wifi working. A few internet searches later (other computer obviously) and voilà, they work.
In OS X you can run parallels but 99% of the Windows apps I use are available for OS X (for example, Office, Photoshop, Flash Studio, Quickbooks, Firefox, etc). Linux is a different story. That being said I have great luck running wine with photoshop and quickbooks. I've never tried flash but it's not needed. Open Office is a more than adequate replacement for MS Office. I don't use the extra 95% of tools available in those products anyway.
I like windows actually. I however love OS X. Linux is great as well. I cut my teeth using Linux in '95 while in college trying to get on doing Oracle DB development on HP-UX. I needed to be able to get around the shell and learn csh. Programming dot clocks to get your "new" video card to start X windows was an interesting learning experience. I'm forever amazed at the new distributions. Ubuntu (sp?), Fedora, etc. Ah the good old days of Slackware disk packages downloaded over ftp at the local Uni!
Tru64, Solaris (SunOS), hell even DR/MS-DOS in the days. Oh yeah Integer Basic on Apple ][ was great! Mac OS was pretty nice too, I was a bit sad to see OS 9 die. My first Mac with OS 9 & X dual boot made me see why so many people were into pre-OS X. 10.0 & 10.1 sucked IMO. However, 10.2 made my system exponentially faster, 10.3 sped it up even more, 10.4 was not such a drastic improvement, leading me to believe the OS is more mature now. I'd like to see that from an OS from Redmond. Windows gets massively larger per OS update. Granted Linux has as well. It however, includes almost 100% of what you need for an operational system. Windows just includes notepad;)
He was pretty interesting! I didn't realize he was a Michigan football player who turned down the NFL to go into Yale law!
Not sure I agree with the Nixon pardoning but it did get the messiness behind us. However, it allows presidents to seem to operate with out regard to legality (ie, current war crimes, etc...)
It's not just taxes, it's also distribution and probably some collusion as well. Ever tried to get gas on a winding road on the côte d'azure? I'm amazed the gasoline can even be delivered to some of the stations I've filled up at.

You actually type in numbers in your cell? I couldn't tell you the last time I typed in a number.
It's the same everywhere, not just backwater Georgia. Granted my comparisons are Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.

Lol, if you don't like it quit. No one forces you to work for the state.
Jesus cares. So long as you've accepted him as your lord and savior. Otherwise, his fragile ego is shattered and you're sent to hell for eternity.
The Apple ][ keyboards were great when I was 10, but trying to type on that mini keyboard now is nothing short of painful.
I've been running photoshop via Wine for years... what's the problem?

My state doesn't use electronic. We use a paper ballot that scans and is saved. Dur..!
