Spoken like a man(?) who has never used Interface Builder in OS X. I've worked with VB, VC++, GTK+(Glade), QT(forget the app name), but Xcode and Interface Builder on OS X is by far the easiest and fastest tools available (that I've used) for prototyping GUIs and software development in general.
The default behavior IS to log a user out when the browser is closed. The only way your girlfriend's account would stay logged in after closing the window is if she checked "Remember me on this computer" when logging in.

I don't steal music. In this case, I'm refering specifically about buying it, and then being able to play it on something other than my laptop. Jhymn is the only way to play music I have paid for on my Slackware desktop, or my mythtv box in the living room. Your analogy is terminally flawed. It isn't akin to breaking into someone elses locked car. It's closer to if you buy a car, and then the manufacturer controls the door locks remotely so that you can only drive it at certain times, on certain roads, that only they approve, so you change the locks.
Yet I bet it comes with more protection next release.
It already has. Hymn and JHymn are unable remove the FairPlay "protection" from videos and music purchased from iTunes 6. Videos can only be downloaded in iTunes 6. Want to downgrade to iTunes 5 to buy your music? Too bad, once you buy something from the iTMS with 6, you can no longer use 4.x or 5 to make purchases. Hello DRM!
Q: Can I continue to use my.Mac Mail address as an AIM or iChat screen name after my.Mac trial or paid account has expired?
Yes. Your screen name will remain valid.
I can't find the page now that it took me to last night, but basically you sign up for a 60-day free trial, and at the end of the free trial if you don't want to pay for.Mac, you still get to keep your.Mac id for using IM, or activating.Mac at a latter date if you want. I'll post the specific URL this evening after work if no one else does it before then.

Mac OS X 10.4.3 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
You you bothered to click "Learn More" it would have brought you to the.Mac welcome page, where it explains you can now get.Mac IM accounts for free. Yes, it kinda sucks you can't use encryption on Jabber or AIM right now, but they aren't charging you to use.Mac IM.
As a developer you should care about this release. The malloc/free implimentation has been changed to release memory immediately to the OS, causing any read-after-free bugs to immediately throw a SIGSEGV.
It's kind of an "our word against his" about the way their conversations.
Accept JT has already proven that he has absolutely no ability whatsoever to accurately remember the order of events, or events occuring at all, even when they are quoted in the same email!
Yeah, from what I've read it's just fairplay applied to video. About a week to compile a compatible version of JHymn and post it online sounds about right.
I hate to ruin your joke, but here's the Obligatory link to the apple article on creating your own ipod compatible video with quicktime. Now if I could just get my mythtv box to ouput compatible mp4 video with something like nuvexport.....
Here's a taste of some reality: In the United States, blacks and hispanics have less good home life, less good schools, less good treatment by the government, less wealth, less college education. Just because you think you do not personally discriminate does not mean that your color of your skin isn't important to ending up being a big star in the computer field.
Don't tell me that color does not matter.
It cuts both ways. As a white male from a middle class family, I had a work my ass off every day through highschool and college to pay for school. Scholarships, grants, etc. all went to people with lower grades, little to no community involment, and less motivation, all because I wasn't a minorty or a woman in engineering. Fuck where you come from, it's what you do that matters.
Oh, and step one to improving your life as a "struggling Latino programmer trying to make it in the United States" is to improve your written English skills. I struggled to even finish reading your whole post because your grammar is so poor.
Wow, either your schools are completely unrepresentative of the nation, or my two are. While its true there were few black/hispanic students, the CS dept of my undergrad was at least 60% indian, and it appears close to that at my graduate school as well. And these schools are in mid to eastern Missouri, about as white as it gets in this country (with the exception of KC and STL within the city limits of course).
The TIVO monthly fee is nothing in comparison to the time and aggravation it would take to set up and maintain a software PVR.
What time and aggravation? I put together an athlon xp 1900+ system from my spare parts box in under half-an-hour, added an ATI TV Wonder and 200GB HDD for $99, and loaded KnoppMyth on the machine in under an hour total. It has been humming behind my entertainment center for 4 months now, 0 downtime, 0 "maintainence", 0 aggravation.
It's not hard to use either, the wife had the house to herself one day soon after I set it up and she was amazed at how easily she set up a whole bunch of recordings on her own without my help. It really has reached the point of pop in a cd, wait for install to finish, and start watching TV if you're using the right hardware. I'm waiting for UPS to deliver my 3rd tv-in card right now to keep up with our conflicting show times. You can't do that with TIVO. I'm a Mac person too, and using MythTV is at the "just works" stage.
This is the very reason I finally broke down and loaded adblock in my Mozilla based broswers, and PithHelmet in Safari. I was trying to load/. one morning and the entire page render was being held up by the ad server being used that day. I could tell from sniffing traffic with ethereal that the HTML and CSS were all downloaded fine, but it just wouldn't render without that damn add.
All internet advertisers lost another pair eyes that day because one bad egg wouldn't let me view my/. .
Wow, I'd bought a few of those (Chemical Brothers, A Perfect Circle) and didn't even realize they were copy projected. Of course I don't think I've ever played a cd in Windows before. The first thing I used to do was rip my cds with Grip in Slackware and then dump them on my file server so I can listen to them whereever. Now I pop them in my powerbook, hit import in iTunes, and then plug in my iPod and let it transfer them over. Completely seemless and hassle free. Hurray for using OSes that the RIAA doesn't care about!
I used to work for Computing and Information Services (CIS) when I was a student at UMR several years ago. The head of the department would routinely tell the RIAA and MPAA to f*ck off whenever they would make requests like that. We also had an unofficial policy of looking the other way in reguards to internal network traffic, and only cracked down those keeping the campus bandwidth utilization at 100%.
Sometime around 2003-2004 the old CIS director retired. The new guy (who was a freaking Civil Eng major) renamed it to IT, changed the way the way the whole department was organized, and instituted a metric shit-ton of new policies. Its way different than it used to be, and I wouldn't be suprised if the new guy INVITED the RIAA/MPAA to come in and snoop on students.
Unfortunately, some people just don't learn. Chesterfield was under 15 feet of water in '93, and now there is many-billions of dollars worth of development right in the flood plain, and we'll all be paying to rebuild it again after the next 100 year flood.
Not just programs stop working on upgrade, but hardware too. My 1.4Ghz t-bird (or camp stove, as I like to call it) finally died a nasty heat death last month. I bought an Athlon64 + mb to replace it, and loaded XP64. My $330 (at the time of purchase 3 years ago) Geforce 4 ti4600 is not supported by the 64-bit version of the windows drivers. You can't find a version, anywhere, that works with it by default. I eventually got it working by editing the model and version string the installer was looking for, but upgrading the defacto PC OS shouldn't cause a expensive, fairly recently purchased piece of hardware to stop functioning! Expecially one that works just fine with the linux nvidia drivers in 64-bit mode (in Slamd64-current thank you very much).
I've had the exact opposite experience as you. All my WD drives from the past 10 years (including the 200MB one!) are still spinning in machines right now, while Maxtor drives tend to die on me within the first 6-12 months of operation.

I would think the tab alone would be sufficient.
Nope, the cookie expires when you close the browser, closing a tab is not enough.

See theo's post to misc@.
You realise that the C malloc/free calls are just the same right? It never releases memory back to the OS.
Not true in OpenBSD.
