My girlfriend proposed a 5$ cap on all (total) items purchased this valentines day -- partly to save money, party to spur creativity. Gotta love that. There's no reason whatsoever to blow hundreds of dollars on a Hallmark Holiday.
Nope. He's got a good point here. Linux project names are hopelessly lame. Ogg Vorbis? Divx-wink? Gimp? These names don't connote serious tools for serious work -- these names connote geeky in-jokes... which is fine, but seriously, it doesn't help linux break into mainstream acceptance one bit.
The guys working on Darwin have done some amazing work on getting OS X to run on legacy Mac hardware. Check out the incredible work that Ryan Rempel has done on XPostFacto:
for a fantastic example -- he's written kernel extensions and an installer that allow users to install OS X on older macs it was never really designed for. And it works great -- I've got OS X running on an old 7500, and it truly was a trouble free installation; three clicks more than a normal OS X install.
"...let me also state quite categorically: Given the choice between a hyper-competitive and fast-moving Microsoft that breaks the law sometimes, and a hamstrung company where regulators make innovation an afterthought, I'll take the former every time. And so should you."
Creepy, huh? As long as MS keeps making his cushy-ass ZDNet pundit job easier and easier (by eliminating choice!), he doesn't care how they break the law.
I for one would certainly like to enjoy some of Professor X's inventions. I can think of many, many uses for his Cerebro mutant location helmet (one potential use: LOCATING MUTANTS) and it goes without saying I have always wanted my very own Danger Room in my downstairs basement.
Is there anyway to get the PPC version of BeOS R4 anymore? The one that ran on the original dual processor BeBox, and the PCI series of 604 PowerMacs.
It's a shame, 'cuz I was just thinking about installing R4 on my old PowerMac 7500/604... I was really looking forward to some OpenGL red spinning teapot action.

Well, for example, In MacOS X OmniWeb 4.1, the pop-up stopper preference text reads:
"Scripts are allowed to open windows:"
(and there are three choices)
* always
* only in response to a link being clicked
* never
and this seems pretty clear and straightforward to me. The word "scripts" could probably be changed to "web pages" or even "web sites" for better comprehesion by beginning users.
It's already annoying enough for most people that they pay -- extravagantly -- for cable television and subsequently spend 30-40% of their time watching ads (unless you've got a tivo). In a way, they're hitting you twice, making you pay for the medium and then suffer through the message.
An across the board pay-per-view future is pretty damn bleak, unless there's more interesting value added to the site/service than just simply "you get to see the page". I have to wonder about the continued viabilty of services (Salon, etc.) who have jumped on this model.
Also, I have to wonder who would win in a fight between a bear and a shark, given an arena that has sufficient water for the shark to freely navigate, but not so much water that the bear would be unfairly hindered?

I would keep your mp3s in a cool, dry sack.
Perhaps the same place you keep your (check one)...
when will you realize that promoting one or two so-called good songs on a CD while the rest is crap is false advertising?
I think your problem is that you're listening to shitty artists. Miles Davis, for example, was prolific for decades without putting out a single crappy album*. Do your research, expand your horizons (listen to college radio!), find a higher caliber of artist, and don't be so shocked when you only like the 3.5 minute single commercial radio shoves down your throat.

"you're" is a contraction of the words "you are".
"your" is an adjective, and generally connotes possession of something.
