That said, there's something about Enterprise. I still watch it, and I'm still not sure why...

What does Parade have to do with Time-Life or Conde Nast?
Parade is owned by Advance Publications, the same parent company of Conde Nast. Parade used to be a Conde Nast publication, but was uhh... reshuffled to be under Advance a few months ago.

Then why does my girlfriend keep bringing Quark layouts home from her job at Parade?;)
Oh.. if only I could motivate myself to lift the mouse cursor all the way to the link... I'd see that the article itself claims that one can listen to the Universe on their iPod. With a big juicy picture of an iPod.
Remember when Apple tried to own all the intellectual property for the GUIs, even though itself copied it from Xerox?
School's in session, clueless twit!
The actual history behind your hopelessly naive statement is far less black and white than you (and every other clueless twit) would like to paint.
Jef Raskin (the father of the Macintosh) had never seen the Xerox GUI until the Macintosh was well underway. Don't believe me? Read the man's own words.
I don't know how long the functionality has been in Mac OS but from the looks of things it seems to be relatively new (perhaps it was introduced with OS X?).
I recall using "hotline://" as early as MacOS 8.5 on my local http portal.
Well then show them the 3rd party benchmarks showing how AltiVec-optimized BLAST on a dual 2ghz G5 completely creams absolutely anything else out there, CPU-for-CPU.
If that fails, the XServe doubles as a handy bludgeon--feel free to beat the Win-Magnans all the way back to their cave.
I don't see the difference in feasibility between piping the light directly to a "common combination point" and simply logging the point in time that an image was captured (to a sufficient chronological resolution) and crunching the numbers once those snapshots have reached Earth.
As I see it, the true issue would be sufficiently parallel physical alignment of the sensors (but perhaps this could also be overcome after the fact with software?)
A little imagination coupled with forethought is in order here. Once we learn more about what is needed stellarly for 'small juicy rock' planets, we then will be able to find nebulae and fledgling stars with higher probability of fostering these planets. We send our artificially intelligent 'children' to those stars.
Stop being such a small-minded "ME ME ME NOW ME" monkey.
A few years back I (and I'm sure others have done the same) imagined an array of telescopes orbiting the sun in each of the Earth's Lagrangian
points synchronized with extremely precise atomic clocks. Wouldn't a 2 AU array allow far better resolution?
When I visited the U.S.S.R. in 1988 our assigned 'tour propagandist' in Samarkand, Uzbekistan informed us that the green tea was drunk in part to prevent strontium-90 poisoning. gg Communist science bureau!
First off, what are the chances of a Judge ever needing to see it any way? Practically nill.
You can de-DRM songs 'till the cows come home as far as I'm concerned. The only thing that could possibly inhibit you in the act would be legal prosecution. That's all we're talking about. Should you be brought before a Judge, he or she would most certainly rely upon the fact that a EULA is a binding agreement in a wholly legal sense.
Practically no one even reads the things, let alone agrees to them.
It's one thing to agree to a concept on philosophical terms, and entirely another to agree to the restrictions placed upon your actions by binding yourself to a contractual agreement. The legal precedent for 'clicking through a EULA'='equivalent to signing a contract' has already been established. Your personal opinions on the subject don't change this matter of fact.
Violating a 'EULA' you never read and never signed, which doesn't meet the legal requirements for a license or a contract or anything else binding, is not.
Unless you can present the case in U.S. law that decided that a EULA is a non-legal contract, or even questioned the constitutionality of the concept, help yourself to a nice foamy sconce of STFU.
Yes, if you downloaded a music track from the iTMS--even a free track through the Pepsi or Apple promotions--you clicked through a EULA. You have to do it again on every new point release of iTunes.
Nobody's forcing anybody to do anything on either side of that equation. Yes, it sucks that they break compatibility often between versions, but both iTunes 4.0 and 4.5 are free--and both versions run on Jagwyre.
Well then it's a good thing the CEO isn't still in school.

No, I hear you and I'm with you. I guess the 6+/- Gb ceiling on today's "versatile" discs will leave high quality sound by the wayside. Featurettes on Haley Joel Osmont are more important:P

Boots sightly faster, renders slightly faster, and is a little less 'different' than Safari compared to FireFox.
Of course I'm using a long-in-the-Sawtooth, so those first two differences are probably far more negligible on a modern Mac.
Or C) the heat from processor #2 is coming out the other (obscured) side?

The article I read said the stem cells were taken from the patient... I doubt that they're planning on replacing teeth in unborn foetuses.

- 'Clicking through a EULA' != agreeing to anything.
I'm sure the Judge will see it your way. Best of luck with that law degree.WAL*MART?

It appears as though Apple still merely Licenses FairPlay from Veridisc, rather than own it outright.
