Some Windows programs take shortcuts (and there are no poorly written Mac programs - none at all. IE5 on Mac displays the web it was meant to be. All other web browsers are broken.)
Ok, I know you're being sarcastic but IE 5 mac was actually pretty decent back in the day. (full PNG support, full CSS1 compliance before IE 6 on win had it, Tasman rendering engine totally written from scratch for it)
Granted it's a piece of shit now but still, credit where it's due...
Shame on Microsoft. And how rude that Office 2003 doesn't implement and utilize the wonderful and open OASIS file format that was ratified 3 days ago.
I don't expect much from Microsoft these days (god knows I'd be constantly disappointed if I did) but I somehow feel time travel is probably asking a bit much - even for them.
I take drugs (methamphetamine, ecstasy, ketamine, marijuana, ghb etc) recreationally fairly frequently - once every 2 to 4 weeks and although I don't feel the need to justify it to anyone, I disagree with the fact that it creates liability for others, and feel that it is rather a large generalization.
Drinking and driving is definately putting other people at risk, but having a line of speed or coke at a party, or a joint while in a close social gathering isn't causing any harm - quite the opposite in fact.
In my experience and observations, taking some drugs can lower barriers to social interaction, and it bothers me that any drug is automatically labeled "bad". I know I've met some really great people I may not have bothered even talking to if it weren't for the fact that I were off my face on a pill at the time (hehe:)
Obviously if you're the type of person to easily get addicted to things it's not a good idea (I can't even get addicted to cigarettes) but as with everything in life, moderation is the key.
That's not the record companies paying for it, it's your credit card company. It's not Apple's problem that your credit card company's insurance doesn't apply to data purchases, especially as they become more and more mainstream. You don't have an argument.
Personally, I still buy CDs....Plus Apple's delightful policy of "if your hard disk dies, you're free to buy all the music again!" Gee, thanks.
Do BMG/Sony, Universal, EMI et al. offer to replace your CD's for free when they degrade, or when you step on them? No? Then why in god's name should Apple fork out for bandwidth again when some idiot decides to erase his HD without backing up his music first? Why should Apple be held responsible for a HD failure, or somebody's Terminal slip?
Sure, it would be nice if they let you do that but they've already stated on several occasions that they don't make any profit. Do you think they should take a loss because you can't be bothered doing your own backups?
You do realise you can back up your own.m4p files by burning them to CD, don't you? Imagine that! Idiot.
Doing what you tried hasn't reimported the whole library for me since, oh, I don't know, iTunes 2.04. I just tested it and it works perfectly as expected (I also have iTunes set to manage my library)
I find it hard to believe MS has implemented some sort of packet prioritization into their TCP/IP stack/windows update to allow downloads in other apps to remain unaffected...
I can only think of one supported mac model that did not come with a DVD drive. The iMac 350. Oh wait on, no firewire so it's not supported. Other than the occasional iBook 500 it is very very rare to find a mac without at least a DVD reader.
I can just imagine him in a clinical looking white and brushed metal office overlooking a beautiful garden of sunflowers, throwing ipods at secretaries, hitting marketing personnel over the head with 17" powerbooks and putting his foot through the occasional prototype 40" OLED cinema display. Must be the turtleneck sweater that makes him so hot-collared;)
Yeah it should be 100% up to date all the time - the indexing engine hooks into the filesystem so that the instant a file is written to/created, it gets indexed (even when manipulating files through darwin using standard unix tools).
Don't be stupid, my Powerbook hasn't been rebooted (or even logged out of this session) for 9 and a half days and top is reporting 425MB active memory (out of 768). This is while running 10 applications including Safari, iTunes, and a Java MSN client (who knows how much the java VM gobbles up). I'm sure there are random memory leaks also stealing RAM here and there that would go if I logged out as well.
256 is a bit low for a lot of users, but it is most certainly enough to run iTunes, Safari, Mail, iChat and probably even a moderately intensive game at once without hitting the swap too hard.
I suppose you think Apple have a master plan of roping millions and millions of users in, only to change the usage rights so you can only play each song once. Apple have changed the policy once, and it was changed to be LESS restrictive. Your tinfoil hat is making your head overheat by the looks of it.
My powerbook's battery life always sucked - but my friends old iBook G3 900 (I think it's about 2-3 years old) gets 4:30ish with settings left at default with just web browsing and playing music etc..

In all fairness I haven't seen the SPOD since 10.3. Certainly not in 10.4 (unless an application hangs).

I actually have one - still works great but sadly, not much use for CD's anymore.
There's a fleshlight joke in there somewhere, just screaming to come out, I know it.
Yes, that's right.

What a brilliant idea, I can't believe nobody has thought of that yet.

That's not true, they licensed it to Motorola for their cell phones.

It would certainly halt linux development somewhat...why go to the effort of developing for linux when your win32 version will run mostly fine anyway?

If you get info on a file, there is a "Spotlight Comments" field which works as expected.
You can turn off rich text processing for HTML and RTF in TextEdit's preferences if it annoys you.

If a tree falls in a forest and there's nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?
