Any thinking person would have realized when he was transferred to the second institution after trying to have a witness whacked that he was going to be placed in a cell with an informant. I mean, duh.
While I appreciate your strawman, I'm typing this on a (64-bit) PPC machine. The idea that Aunt Millie might be running a 2005-vintage Mac Mini, for example, is hardly unrealistic.
Aunt Millie runs 'Doubleplus Dope Recipe Manager 3.0' on her 32-bit PPC-based machine. Aunt Sue wants a copy. Aunt Millie (who couldn't tell you what CPU is in her computer if you put a gun to her head) knows that she can drag a copy of DDRM3.0 from her Applications directory to a USB stick and hand the USB stick to Aunt Sue, who can drag DDRM3.0 from the USB stick to her Applications folder on her X86-64-based machine and run it. Neither of them had to run an installer, neither is terribly informed about the architecture of their computer.
First, overpriced or not, unlimited MMS is included as a part of the data plan you have to buy from AT&T when you have an iPhone.
Actually the US AT&T base iPhone data plan doesn't include SMS nor MMS. For $5 you can add 200 SMS/MMS. (I'm on the family plan)
I really don't see myself using MMS all that much -- after all, I've got a full-featured mobile email client. I have some younger relatives with cheapie feature phones that occasionally send us cameraphone snaps, though, and this will beat the crap out that horrible viewmymessage.com torture we had to go through before.
My memory may be a bit fuzzy, but Wipeout 64 corresponded to Wipeout 1 on the PS1. Wipeout XL/2097 was the second game in the series. I don't think it had splitscreen multiplayer, but it did look fantastic for the day.
Exactly. I'd considered buying a little Flip or low-end Kodak "Youtube-quality" camera for hobby purposes, but the little camera in the Nano is in the same ballpark as those, is much smaller, and gives me one less small gadget to keep track of in the airport or wherever.
Some of us who work for a living and commute plug our oh-so-overpriced smartphones (which have the benefit of working in locations beyond our parents' basements) into our car stereos or headphones while we commute to our places of employment.
It's less masturbatory than sitting on Slashdot being bitter at people who like nice things.
To be fair, if his wife is using the same mailer he is, then there literally isn't anything to set up -- when she receives an email from him, she sees an extra checkmark and the word "signed". If he's taken the 10 or so minutes it takes to set her up the same way, it's literally only one extra click for her to encrypt her emails to him. Though Mail.app is far from a great mailer, the way it handles S/MIME is truly as transparent as it could ever possibly be.
Yeah -- Discovery HD, INHD 1/2, and HBOHD all look fantastic. Surprisingly, even the "little guys" get things right sometimes: one of the consistently *great* looking shows over the past season was Supernatural, a trifle that aired on, of all networks, the WB. They deliberately played up the film grain and did some really distinctive color processing (really punched up the browns and blues) to give everything a really textured but somehow eerie look.
there is NO COMPELLING REASON for anyone ot actually buy music
Other than to provide the musicians making with a bit of income, that is.
I am perfectly aware that the average major-label artist actually receives a pitiful pittance, if that, from any recording I might buy, thanks to severely unbalanced record company contracts and shady accounting.
I am also aware that many of my favorite artists record for smaller independent labels with which they've signed much more equitable recording deals, and who actually receive appreciable royalties when I purchase their music. I prefer not to screw them, when I can help it.
There has already been talk on the Webkit devel list about a Windows port. If you poke around the SVN repository, you'll even see a few checkins.
Now Webkit isn't Safari, but if your goal is to be able to develop web pages on Windows that Mac users on Safari can use, than it's certainly a good start.
In terms of organization, I don't understand your statement about iTunes, though. I've got 40000 songs (legal, btw), and I can't imagine trying to keep them organized any other way. Between Smart Playlists and the handy scripts from here, I haven't found a lot I can't accomplish.
I've also had the OS automount a DMG file and run the app from there, instead of the applications folder. Are you sure about this?
99% of the applications I download on OSX download as a disk-image file (compressed or not). Upon double clicking the DMG, the virtual disk mounts, and the Finder opens a window that shows me the contents of the "drive", which usually consists of a single application and sometimes a readme file or, more commonly, a graphic that says "drag --> this file into your Applications folder to install." My Mom (not being drunk or repeatedly hit in the head with a hammer) can figure this out...
Slashdot Mirror
Well, one thing for sure is that I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.

I really have to wonder about the pay level. I can still remember what my first intership paid: $7.37 an hour -- in 1986.

> Ditto Star Wars Racer and Fzero X the best-looking racers - running circles around PS1 racing games.
I'm not so sure. Was there really a better looking racing game than Wipeout XL/2097 on that generation of consoles?

'There should be no disruption to Silicon Graphics customers'.
Yes. Both of you.

#19 is fixed, and the developers somehow resisted the urge to slap the snot out of these jerks for not emailing them privately beforehand.
Skeet skeet!
The next time someone bitches about Apple protecting their iPod trademark, I'm just going to forward them a link to this article.
Nice list. :)
Comcast w/ Motorola 3412/6312, go go gadget 30 second skip!
Works in Preview, too, of course.

I love eMusic, btw -- been a member for 4 years.

Yes. Yes, there is.
You are aware, of course, that all of those readers already support Atom, right...
That's becaus you're running the wrong builds. :)
