to do that they need a program where a business can specify a specific computer type and apple can deliver it.
companies have no problem spending a grand on a computer that has a simple cd-rom no soundcard, and is not very expandable if at all. just make it look good and support it well.
(talking office computer, not the worksations... which a G5 could handle fine, just needs the software)
no... MS marketing and sales is the reason for SGI's fall.
only hardware geeks care about price/performance ratio. home users and offices that do not use high powered applications like maya or autoCad, etc. do not care about the price/performance ratiio as long as the apps they want run smoothly.
the mythical bang for buck does not exist to people outside those who NEED performance and know why they need it.
everyone else is either an apple user or some one who is stupidly following the MS pack.... or is a Linux hardware geek and thinks that they need to have a 1337 machine to run x11 and compile software.
you fucking ignorant pud!!! MSN desktop search is NOT the same thing as spotlight.. it is a thrown together search application that is one step above windows xp search.
christ all mighty.. at least understand the fucking difference!!!
wow... safari looks like it will be the first browser to pass the Acid2 test... that is the best looking error I have see... FF 1.0.3 fails worse than that.
Seems to me that the only criteria that matters if being poor is not an option is Money.
BTW.. Nursing is a Career, and a damn good one at that.. Nurses can walk into a hospital and get a job starting that day if they want making 45-50 grand a year. if you do not like hospital work, you can do home care which is nice because it gives you the freedom controlling your work schedule for the week and the day while making a lot of cash.
if you need money, you need to get retrained and not be finicky about what it is you do.
even college graduates have to self teach the skills they need. a university can not give you all known knowledge and they cannot hyper focus on one specific set. it needs to teach the fundamentals of Computer Science and the theories behind it.
sure.. being able to build a compiler is not practical anymore, but the knowledge you gain about languages is very important.
sure, when computer speeds are so vast that the efficiency of one algorithm verses another is kind of pointless, but the knowledge you gain on how to construct a good program is very useful.
most CS classes are set up to teach you specific things that are not of much worth, but the things you learn why doing the crap for the class is where the real worth while knowledge comes from.
auto-defrags small files (20 mb) but the large files are not defraged.
OS X defrags large files after an install and because they use the end of the drive for writing data to and such most of the info on the drive already stays where it is and maintains integrity.
NTFS does neither of the later things... it will be nice when longhorn comes out.. I might buy it for a new computer perhaps.
second, Enlightenment started the OGL driven desktop and OS X made it usable. Longhorn will take it perhaps a step further than tiger, but as of right now I do not see that, I see Tiger having a full 3d accelerated and gfx card composited GUI. MS defiantly has some different flash with it (turning windows to the side is cool and all, but needed? but OS X and E are where the revolution happened. MS is playing catch up.

MacOS was a usable general purpose system.. Xerox was using theirs for copy machines.
OS lesson for you....
Linux is a Kernel... to have a usable system you need tools that will sit on top . you need some sort of shell, you need tools to work in that shell.
an operating system is the kernel + the tools sitting on top.
*pats kuzb on the head* oh.. run along and play with your friends.

maybe they could replace the running apps with a tasks applet that has a list of the apps that are running.
windows suffers from the same problem.. the task buttons constantly move around. there is no good way to show running tasks... it all just sucks.
umm... NeXt had a dock in 1986.... so what the fuck are you talking about again?
and the taskbar is a mess as well... ok, so apple did copy the fucked upness I guess.
that is a cop out answer. dynamic resizing may not be 100% fitt's law certified, but is does not make it broken, unless you are a fucking idiot.

Xerox was paid apple stock for apple to look at the stuff that Xerox did not care about.
soo...
how is that stealing?
499 == 1000+ ?
nice math skills buddy.
im not a nurse either.
good thing you picked CS then huh..

what's wrong? Nurses are a woman job?
there you go:-)
:-)
I married a Nurse
oh.. and you can become an RN is about 2 years and make 50k a year.
if you needed to make money then you should have gotten into pharmacy.

open source projects.. develop your own applications and sell them, you have the power as a developer.
the vast number of Linux machines are not linux machines for long.
fastest way to extinction in a changing environment is to stand still.

Rather than running just on computers that process 32 bits of data at a time, the new version will run on chips that process 64 bits.
a more appropriate rephrasing:
"We know there is no benefit to the home user but we want to sound better"
first off, an lcd is 2 dimensional.

well.. maybe then we can use svg for web action as well rather than flash.
at least MS would have respect for all the tools that MM has created.
