I'd like some of what you're smoking. It must be good. My experience is just the opposite. Mac OS X is just now starting to mature, but it's got a ways to go. When I download some OSS and do "configure && make && make install", I expect it to work on Linux and Solaris, but I hold my breath on Mac OS X. Often it just doesn't work, and hacks and more are required to get the software to work. This is definitely less true than in the 10.2 and 10.3 days, but it happens waaaay more often than it does on Linux and Solaris.
Second, we run Linux, Solaris, and a bunch of other OSs, including Mac OS X. Mac OS X is the least stable OS of the group. Try this: install AMD and touch/net with the finder, the result requiring a hard reset of the machine to regain control.
The software on top of Mac OS X is a different matter. People love it. I personally don't like it, but I understand it's a matter of taste.
If you have run through all these options, start fighting back against physical abuse.
I can't agree more. I was once hounded by a bully. It went on and one. Finally, I took him up on his offer to kick my ass. Well, turns out I got in a good punch and he didn't like it. He took off and never bothered me again.
Right the f**k on. (I can't believe this comment is stuck at 4.) If they did this, it would be revolutionary and would certainly be a killer app for TV... for millions of us.
His early yet elegant productivity enabled a generation to create and communicate.
Hmmm. Seems either uninformed or revisionist. Bill Joy went to Sun witht he work of many on that BSD software tape. BSD was mature at that point, and it didn't take much for him and others at Sun to make SunOS out of it. Certainly not the level of effort that originally went into it. And, don't forget the effort of the BB&N folks on the networking code, which is what the BSD folks started with...
You also seem to be forgetting about Andy BechtolSheim. It's say he did a lot more singled handedly than Bill Joy.
As for the documentation people being the real heros.... wow. I've done that job before, but it's a million times easier than creating new things, like the BSD folks and Berkeley and Andy Bechtolsheim did.
Lphoto looks... sparse. I don't see tagging of photos with keywords. Same for gimv. As for pornview... I couldn't find much info on it (the project page for it is even more sparse than the other projects!).
Does iPhoto allow you to tag photos with keywords, and search for them using a combinations of keywords (with AND, OR, etc)? That is an invaluable feature of TP, and I've invested a huge amount of time tagging my photos. A big issue for migration will be migrating this database (stored in MS SQL) to another system. I would not want to lose this information.
I have may 98% of everything I need at home and work function with Mac OS or Linux.
That's you. For others, it's not so simple. Please show me the FOSS replacement for Thumbs+. If a replacement existed, I'd switch to Linux in a second. I have 15,000+ digital photos I manage with TP, and I'd be absolutely lost without it. I've never seen anything close. Perhaps I just missed it.
Other than Windows, I have no Microsoft products installed on my system.
Went to the movies last weekend with the family. Curious George. (My 5 year old loved it.) ~$50 for 4 of us (tickets + popcorn). Now I remember why we never go to the movies. And they wonder why theatre attendance is down and piracy is up.
Maybe that has something to do with the fact that Japan was essentially reduced to mostly rubble 60 years ago while we in the U.S. deal with OSP that is both that age and has never been properly maintained.
It has more to do with population density. The US has a large population spread out over a larger area. Japan is small and has a high density compared to us. This is a great advantage when deploying new tech, as the cost/customer is dramatically lower in Japan.
To quote from this:
Japan had an average of 327 persons per square kilometer in 1990, high compared with China (119) or the United States (27), but lower than in some other Asian countries, such as the Republic of Korea (South Korea), which had 432 people per square kilometer.
So here's what I want to see from politicians: be willing to say "Looks like we screwed up.... now that we're in Iraq, we need to do right by the Iraqis and help them fix all the problems we caused."
I 100% agree with you. However, I find it more than a little ironic this is precisely what Kerry said in the 2004 debates and was his position all along. Look what it got him.
Yes, I said it was FireFox related, but it ONLY hapened when I made her account "limited" and installed an extension. Tried to install an extension, that is, since it never completed.
Users will login to a limited access user account, rather then an administrator account as the default.
I recently gave my wife an account on my laptop, making it limited access. It's running XP SP2. I couldn't even install some FireFox extensions under the account (some Chrome error on restarting when installing the extension). I couldn't install Thunderbird either. After a little fiddling, I gave up and gave her admin privs.
Unless limited access users can do a reasonable set of things, it will be useless and they'll just upgrade to admin privs.
If what you say is true, WHY DOESN'T THE AG PROVE IT? Because... HE CAN'T. He and the president fear that trying to get approval after the fact will fail, and thus expose them to ridicule, lawsuits, etc, etc, etc.
I have severe allergies, and I was born in a time when I played in the dirt all the time. There were no anti-bacterial soaps around (for general use). While it may play some small part in the allergy picture, it by no means explains much of it. IMO, it's a pretty lame hypothesis.
Allergies and bacterial resistance are completely unrelated. What's the point of the peanut butter/kissing/death story? A complete non-sequitir, if you ask me.
The cause of allergies is unknown, but the mechanism is an immune system over-reaction. I've never read where "germs" or bacteria are involved in any way.
slashdot doesn't allow quotes in the summary. I would have said "intel" power mac g5, and I'm talking about the equivalent model with an intel processor.

If you are in CA, then you can get metered service that will cost you 1/2 of that (I pay about $11/mo for my phone).

What makes you think that will help?
100% agreement here. Why, then, haven't some competitor to PP sprung up, one that isn't bogus? I'd go with them in a heart beat.

that Captain America, aka Randy Couture, would do this! Say it's not true!

Any clues?
Really good idea. I've submitted 3 or 4 stories over the years. Never got one through. Stopped submitting because of the lack of feedback.
I said Speakeasy tried, but failed. They sent SBC out 3-4 times. SBC got to the point where they said "no more".
I was told by Speakeasy that they did not have access to the remote terminals. This was confirmed by an SBC installer.
