Everyone's vote counts equally. All votes are counted individually, not grouped by region, race, religion, or party. The canidate with the most individual votes wins.
The most important part is to destroy the concept of 'the state' voting. It is the primary reason why we have a bipartisan political system, wherein both parties aren't that different upon close inspection. Because the majority of your state already votes for a particular canidate, it's futile to vote otherwise. Catch-22, or mere monopoly lock-in?
Most of the time, the best solutions are the simplest ones.
You're contradicting yourself. The developers do use their own files for their databases. In Tiger, you use use a different file for each entry, and another file for your own personal index/cache if needed. Because each entry for your app's database is it's own file, Spotlight in Tiger can index it, and it's thus available to the system.
Now if only we can get AirPort Extreme Card drivers, we'll be all set.
I'm not well informed on the issue, but I've heard it has something to do with the chipset manufacturer not releasing any specs or drivers for the product in question.
I haven't seen much third party reverse engineering to create a driver for this card; perhaps because of fear of DMCA stuff.
My parents, as well as many other idiotic parental-entities, seem to hate the concept of 'downloading'.
My friend even has a lockdown on his web browser to prevent the download manager from ever showing up. Strangely, he can still download into his temporary internet files.
For the love of God, why can't people get the idea that when you request a URL from a web browser it is actually downloading a page?
Actually, the Official BT client for Mac OS X uses Rendezvous (ZeroConf) to discover other local peers with the same file and proceeds to connect to them trakerless.
Many times I've created an Ad-Hoc network and used BT to efficiently transfer a large file between multiple computers.
Now if only ZeroConf was more standard on more platforms, or another local resource inquiry system.
Disclaimer: Rendezvous (ZeroConf) does not provide a transport system, just a service and host discovery system that you can use to locate hosts and ports to connect to yourselves. Apple has mashed this concept somewhat, leading some to believe that Rendezvous is doing all the work.
In 4th grade I got my first computer and 'net connection. Lot's of time spent just surfing the net for information regarding software technology.
In 7th grade I went home school so I could spend more time online. I taught myself the education using the books the charter school provided me. Alas, I didn't match their time-based system. I just wanted to take the tests, they said I had to do the homework. What a waste of time.
In high school the same charter school did an online school program. It used a proprietary software program called NovaNET. It worked in Classic mode only and the developers disappeared from the face of the earth. The company that owned it was too large to actually be able to speak with someone without them having a script in their hands to read to me.
In my Sophomore year I got expelled for not doing any work for the entire high school program. I'd rather use the web to learn than have to deal with the public educational system. It's a good thing I took and passed the California High School Proficiancy Examination. I now had a high school diploma equivalency. (Strange thing, I got it the same day I got expelled by coincidence.)
While I didn't graduate, I did get out of high school at 16. I felt relieved that the State of California was finally off me so I could continue my research. I took the summer and fall off.
I scored in the 99.9% percentile in all those standardized bubbly tests, so I got a scholarship. I also recieved the President's Award for Education. Cool, a fake sig. from Mr. W.
My parents are barely able to support our family, so we do crazy stuff like move every six months. Hey, as long as I got my broadband connection and my laptop, I'm good.
With my uncle having a nice collage fund for me, as well as the state scholarship, I was set. I got into community college. Unfortunately, my parents kept borrowing money and somehow justifying it, so I lost most of my allocated money to them. (Don't worry, there's plenty left, but next time I allocate, I'm going to lock it up with rules.)
College sucked. I had to take public transportation for two hours every morning to reach my class that was 45 minutes. I'd then turn around and wait all day to go home.
I had to deal with a cable company with a catch-22 whether or not internet was available in my house. Once again, the larger the company, the less useful they are. I ended up getting dialup and moving to a night-schedule, waiting for the day my cable modem starts working again.
My parents want me to get a job to help out. They really want me to get a car. I live in farm-world, but I really want to live in the city with a better public transit system.
Now I spend my nights on/. and OSNews, and silently creating essays and rants on my website, PixelCort.com. I am a lead columnist at a growing Mac News Site and a committee member at a large Mac User Group. I am also a design and technology consultant for many individuals and businesses.
What do I do? I try to break concepts down into their elements, then generalize concepts into their classifications, and then find patterns and similarities on all these planes.
I use the power of the internet to expand my horizons. I play Golf and sing. I fight for the rights of minors.
Last year I got kicked out of the WWDC because of my age. Next year I'll be 18 so that won't be a problem. I really wanted to be emancipated, but my parent's won't go for it.
I am always told that I spend to much time working and never spend anytime having fun. I consider work fun, and have formed a very close similarity between the two concepts.
For some time I was a protégé for the county office of education, but they were more focused on engineering and robotics, where I'm more into design and psychology of technology.
Imagine a small night light that has an 802.11 card in it. Anyone that sees it would think of it as nothing more than a light. But inside is an entire circutry that enables it to get into wireless networks and try to get out to send feedback to it's master.
On a lighter note, consider these as being used as network relay/extenders. Put one in each room of your house to increase the range and clarity of the network.
As for ethernet ports, many are located near power outlets, and much of the time are under desks. Just go under someone's desk, plug in to the ethernet port and a power outlet and you'r done. I really don't think that anyone could notice.
Don't many EULAs say that you can't alter the binary without prior arangments with the company? You could be charged with dissasembling or reverse-engineering the binary.
Yellow Dog Linux is an awesome Linux distribution for the Mac and works quite well. I have my laptop set up with dual-boot into YDL and OS X. You get the best of both worlds. Boot into Linux all the time and then into OS X when you just want the dang thing to work.;)
Also, the people at TerraSoft (makers of YDL) are also Apple resellers, but get this: They are preinstalled with YDL! I would definitely check this out. If they are selling the 12in PowerBook, order it from them. Then you will get a brand new MiniPowerBook with Linux preinstalled. Snazzy!
I envision a laptop where there is a second display much like the first on the other half of the 'book' where a default keyboard would be dispalyed. You could then have in your OS an application framework that would handle a UI for this second display, putting up a default keyboard layout. But the second you need something different, simply change the input screen layout to something that suits your needs.
Need a Dvorak layout? A touch of a popup menu or whatnot and you got it! Need lined paper for notes? You got it. Need a turntable? Sure.
And in the future we may end up having tablet computers, but I really think that we will always need a seperate input UI to deal with our systems. You don't just go into to a car and have the very complex essences of it come into your system. We may very well need a small part of the UI cut off that can resemble a keyboard and trackpad, or have this integrated into a part of the workspace apart from the rest of the UI.
Want a gaming controller? Albeit flat, it would work.
"First off, I never actually ran iMovie 3 on account that it will not run on my Clamshell iBook, for it requires a 1024x768 display, something that my poor ord Indigo will never have."
This is the high school that I attend. It uses a proprietary product called Portal that appears to work over Telnet. It's an older interface, however it gets the job done. Myself and some peers set up a Yahoo Group to manage social gatherings and such. We also have online courses available on site. An excellent choice of curriculum is available, and someday they plan to move to a SQL database and 'bad HTML' web-application system. It is a public charter school so it doesn't cost anything to use it. (Other then ISP fees.)
If I want to watch people play games, I would prefer watching in my Online Gaming environment. More Online Gaming Services are implementing this. That way, I could possibly choose to join that specific game, choose which game to watch, and quickly create a new game that others can watch.
So if you cannot dissasemble or reverse engineer something licensed, then you can 'execute' it but not 'read' it. For example, I bought a license for a program. I can 'run' the program, but it would be illegal to throw the program into a text editor. So if this is true, in theory, you are not allowed to open up your computer's HD and, using a theoretical microscope, look at the 1s and 0s on the disk; for you are not permitted to look at them? I respect Software Licenses for their practical protection, and strongly believe in fair market buying (I buy everything I have), but when you think about it in this way, it's kinda' weird!

Why didn't he just get his son the iMac like requested?
Wow, a whole lot of talk about NOTHING!!!
I'm trying to recreate the entire web through XMPP:
nuWeb.org
Yeah, using a IM standard and some P2P apps. Unlikely, but solves polling and distribution problems.
I may be out of my mind, but HTTP sucks.
Driving motorized cars increases the chances of hurricanes/tornadoes/cyclones/(the Japanese ones that I can't think of the name of).
Damn SUVs! Bah!
