ReplayTV has a 30 second skip ahead button and a 7 second skip back button that allows me to almost completely ignore commercials. It also doesn't have flowery stuff and commercials around the edges of the program guide.
As a Psych major ~10 years ago everything we "knew" about schizophrenia was being re-written. For the DSM-IV (the dictionary of mental illness) there was an effort to remove or rewrite the definition of schizophrenia from that edition because it didn't fit observed behavior.
Basically there are 2 observed "types" of schizophrenia - positive affective and negative affective. Positive affective means that the person is experiencing things that aren't there like the police shooting rays into his brain t control his mind. Negative affective means that they are not responding to stimuli that are there (like you snap your fingers in front of his face and he doesn't move / respond). Positive affective is generally controlable with meds - negative is not.
Generally my advice it to find a newer book (better yet - check the psych journals) - this info was new enough when I took psychopathology that it wasn't in the texts yet....
That's the best answer - another one is to use the built in firewalling of the internet connected OS X box. Look here. In the long run though I thought it was easier to spend like 100 bucks and get a cheap wireless Router / Firewall setup.
Y'know, this discussion thus far has pissed me off. Every time a software author decides to give up on a project people rip him down - usually without checking out the project. I respect Hekkelman for the amount of work that he put into Pe / Pepper - Enough so that Neal Stephenson used Pe to write his book "In the Beginning there was the Command Line" Not many shareware authors can say a book was written on their program.
I would think that the BSD core of Darwin makes Apple's OS part of a larger framework or attackable computers and therefore make Apple more inclined to worry about security than before. BTW: There is no good. Comparing good and evil is just you forcing your view of the universe on it which seems to mean that you know how it should work better than it does and that seems to mean that you can't appreciate it anyway. Hypocrite scientific moron. Keep your dogma in your pocket, only take it out in private to play with it.
Why don't you "Return" it and then "buy" it back? That'll give you the required date. A local retailer should be able to swing that for you. I do stuff like this all the time with stereo, music and computer equipment. If you have a good relationship with your retailer you should be all set.
Of course if you bought it from a catalog your probably screwed. In that case I'd return it and really buy from a local person.
You're right, the Lisa wasn't as much of a screw as I remember it being. However, the hard drive was external (5 meg) and the ram was only 512 k. I was thinking of the mac SE specs - almost 2 years later. That said the mac was 2500 - a quarter the price.
Lisa was a flop because Apple announced the Mac about the time that the Lisa went on sale. The Mac had a faster processor and 4 times the ram for about a third the price. This was more the fault of the marketing department letting out too much info about a product that the Lisa project teams fault.
People login as root because they just want the damn machine to work. Apple users are not Unix users - and they never will be. Your best bet is to tell people to keep a current copy of all software they have installed and their home directory backed up. I totally understand where people are coming from on this one. Ever used fink to install darwin software? Hope you are very familliar with the command line to get all the source packages out of the/sw directory it creates...
I'll take journaling before metadata. I quake in fear when OS X crashes hard and I need to do a hard reboot that the system has gone completely kabloie. A Multi-threaded filesystem would be cool too - I believe that it isn't implemented yet. The kind of speed gain for raid systems (which professional Apple users need) would be incredible. HFS+ still has catch up to do.
If you want insight into the filesystem check out "Practical File System Design with the Be File System" by Dominic Giampaolo. This book is fairly nuts and bolts about how Dominic wrote the BFS.
Y'know this may be modded "flamebait" but that was my first reaction. Comparing HFS resource forks to the ability in BeOS of creating your own file attributes means the origanal poster didn't understand the article. HFS does not allow for creation of your own objects in the file system - BFS does - without rewriting the file system.
Having used both versions I think the Windows version is a lot more polished... Also the ability to save as a pdf kicks butt.

I STILL Want My HDTV

· Score: 1
AV stores just started getting HDTV in this area - the first one got their HD signal just before the superbowl. Of course I live in New England so I guess maybe the one event might be related to the other....
HD cables are the 3 seperate cables that go to 3 component inputs. Standard TV benefits from this because there is less bleeding in the color than in other signal.
I thought that the movie had more soul than most of what Hollywood puts out these days. The characters were not remarkably complex but there were subtle interactions between the characters that let me know more about them than was explicitly said.
On a side note, the DVD of Final Fantasy rivals Star Wars 1 to show off what a good DVD player can do. Audio isn't as good but the visuals are astounding.
Uh - not to mention that they tried to get into a market that is so closed that even Microsoft is breaking into it only slowly and painfully. Even if it was a perfect product for everyone (impossible!) it would have failed because people buy "Palm" (tm) and "Microsoft" (tm) - not "Piddly little company noone ever heard of." I thinlk that this explains Handspring's (apparent) focus change - they need to create a new market to sell product.
That's like saying you should have to write out a 50 page paper on how the combustion engine works to get a drivers licence. Or that you should know every last detail about how a radio recieves signals and turns them into music to turn it on. Just because you have a passion about computers doesn't mean that everyone else has to. All most people want to do is make communicating, bookkeeping, shopping and other daily jobs they can do with a computer easier.

in New England, the English spoken is very similar to that in England.
Yessuh, those English speak like us downeasters Ayuh!

That's a pity... You won't get to see the pop-up that I did on their server, asking me if I knew that owning a cable descrambler wasn't illegal.
Best laugh I had all day...

The other way to keep your computer secure is to run it in access mode standby mode.
