I simply pointed out that the infomation about this update has been available on apple's website since WWDC. Surely one would consult this documentation before laying down $$$ for a new computer. I did not attend WWDC or MacWorld fyi.
I think that they kind of "snuck" this *major* upgrade on us
What??!!
This update was announced at WWDC in May!!! (6-10th) and was on the apple site at apple.com/newversion until macworld, where it took over all of/macosx
If this update snuck up on you, you were't looking ver.. no, wait, you weren't looking.
since the data on dvds is compressed & the bits are closer together they are more sensitive to scratches & dust beacuse it affects more data. BUT the error correction system on a dvd player is usually 10x greater than that on a reg. cd player so it reads around the 'copy protection' errors.
All squid have ten arms, but 2 are usually much longer & skinnier than the others. It seems this one has them all the same length. the 2 longer tentacles are used for feeding, they shoot them into schools of fish & then retract them. the other 8 are for propulsion.
A Soviet tanker in 1965 came across a battle between a giant squid and a sperm whale that would have weighed around 40 tonnes. The fight continued for some time and finished far below in the depths, beyond the range of the tanker's sonar equipment. About an hour after the sighting the strangled body of the whale was found floating in the ocean. It still had the giant squid wrapped around its body. But the squid did not win - its head was found inside the stomach of the whale!
Unistrokes, a technology that allows users to put information into a computer by printing in a special shorthand, was developed in the early 1990s at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), a well-known institution in the technology industry. Xerox obtained the patent for Unistrokes in January of 1997, but currently has no plans to commercialize the technology, according to a company spokesman.

24% may seem small, but Linux is the only OS making headway in the broad OS marketplace, the one OS with the strongest compounded growth projection over the next couple of years (at least), and the one OS which supports more hardware platforms than any other. This didn't happen with any high-powered marketeering or monopoly power, but out of grass root free choice.
This "shadow" of negativity over technology, which the recording industry has used Napster and other peer-to-peer systems to grow, now over shadows our new technological achievements as mankind, and demeans the ability for artists to understand the truth of the options available now to them.
Because of the existence of the new system of distribution enabled by technologies progression into the new century, artists need to understand that a recording contract is not necessarily needed to become successful and reach the masses with their artistic impressions. This I wish to seriously stress unto everyone. Now is the time for the options for the artists be removed from these shadows of negativity, and that we enable the true digital music revolution to shine unto the world. Giving back to the artist the very art which they create to make the this industry, and allowing them to reclaim the control.
Could the blame for Microsofts security issues fall on this man? Rushing products before they are fully tested.
Microsoft's closed-source mode of development guarantees that customers will continue getting cracked and Microsoft will continue pointing the finger of blame everywhere except where it actually belongs.
If this project is to continue, everyone involved has to respect the ground rules. when you begin something like this, there is roughly a 50/50 chance of it working or going insane and this just shows how vulnerable the open source world is.
anyways, i hope Fink keeps going beacuse it hase huge potential and its the main reason I bought OSX.
current production rate of antiprotons = 14 ng per year
to get to mars (35million miles) in a month requires 140ng (10 years)
to get to aplha centuri (2.5e13 miles) requires 100g (7142680 years at curren prod. rates) of fuel and the trip would take 8e16 years
(& consider the mechanism required to store the 100g of rather potent antimatter)
the human race will die out either making the fuel or completing the trip!
hmmmmmm. I dont mean to be cynical or pessimistic (sp) but i dont think that this is going to work.

Apple doesn't have forty billion in the bank
They've got 4. I think that's about enough.

Have a lookse here for current Global Internet Statistics by Language.
POINT 24%
24% rather

Oh my god. This is hideously ironic considering what the internet was set up for in the first place.
If this project is to continue, everyone involved has to respect the ground rules. when you begin something like this, there is roughly a 50/50 chance of it working or going insane and this just shows how vulnerable the open source world is.

prove osama's guilt and rig the aus election at the same time. pretty smooth!
