They are using Microsoft Chat on the battlefield, for crying out loud! Yes, the one with the comic characters, where the staff seargant looks like a big breasted bimbo.
I just read that article, and let me be the first one to say
As for software, that comment is just pure ignorance. 50% of the stuff they make is free, and the other software is all competitively priced. What software from Apple is overpriced?
Overpriced is not the right word. More like Underpriced.
I urge anyone to compare the featureset of Final Cut Pro 4 ($899) vs. similar solutions in the PC world. Avid Xpress DV doesn't even stack up, and with all the plugins and tools, you'll end up spending far more to equal twice the price of the Apple G5 hardware.
It really amuses me when people talk about 10.x updates as if they are service packs. Someone yesterday mentioned this saying "Microsoft doesn't charge us for SP.x upgrades", which was really comedic. Windows ServicePacks just fix broken stuff, and sometimes even break more. With OSX 10.x updates you get brand new features all the time.
I wish people really understood how this shit worked.
You didn't say anything positive about Apple Computer Corporation
"Steve Jobs is a genius" quote was nowhere to be found in your entire comment
"Mac Heads" term is racist and inflamatory. We prefer the term "The imminent owners of the Fastest 64-bit Personal Computer in the World"
Your post did not hint that you will be switching to Macs as soon as you get enough money
And lastly, you work in a mixed pc and mac environment. Macs and PCs don't mix and by working in such a clueless place you're just helping to sponsor x86 Terrorism.
You know, it would be funny to replace the word "Spam" with "Linux" throughout the article. You'll know what he and Ballmer talk about behind closed doors.
How about running Linux on Windows? Then maybe people would be more inclined to test the waters of the Linux world. Think of it as a way to migrate users off of the M$ titty.
I call bullshit on that theory for one simple reason.
FWB used to produce the Windows 95/98 Emulator which was called Softwindows. They changed the title of it to RealPC just to avoid extra headaches from Microsoft's legal department.
I really hope this was on/.'s front page instead of the apple section. If this doesn't look like Microsoft-specific coercion by using their monopolistic strongarm tactics, I don't know what is.
Perhaps I'm stupid, but that thing is impossible to solve. Anyone have any clue how long it would take a computer to solve your standard rubics cube through brute force?
A regular computer would solve it in less than 10 seconds. Really a messy scramble of the 4D cube took only 6 seconds to solve. And it wasn't even backtracking.
Why would he have left over Aimster? He didn't have anything to do with it.
Indeed. Aimster was the failed idea of interconnecting AIM users to share crap with their buddies which was later renamed to Madster and quickly disappeared. Slashdot featured a story recently with the half naked jailbait who used to model for that software. Totally unrelated.
I think what the parent wanted to say was the AIMazing plugin. It was later pulled by AOL just like every other 'questionable' piece of software.
Don't be negative and think of the advantages. These said spammers would be within your WiFi range, which means you have the option of hunting down these idiots in the vicinity and beating them senselessly with an Aluminium Notebook for disturbance.
Installed it on the Win2k box. Besides from being really annoying with sound effects such as droplets it didn't offer accurate localization. I got people from TX, MN, NY, IL, New Zealand(!), etc.
The application has no preferences aside from the profile. You cannot add users to your "buddy" list.
I think this concept will be replaced by an Open Source alternative pretty soon with better options, because no one likes central server bullshit and proprietary software.
The greatest thing imo would be to integrate this into W.A.S.T.E. as a group of (untrusted) users just to extend it even more. It would be a killer convergence of IM/sharing applications. Imagine how great it would be to be able to share documents, pictures, and other crap with a trusted source (buddy) whenever they appear within range when using WiFi enabled devices.
Go into nearest IKEA (Office section) and look for the Glass surface desk. It's not available in the web catalogue and I saw one as recently as last month.
These things really emphasize the mental asylum enveloped in minimalism if you work hard enough on arranging the shit around and stealthing the cables and such out of the view.
Wood desks are so last century. The rule of thumb is: the computer environment should be at least 1/4th of the price of the hardware that sits on top and beneath it.
Definately an underestimation. ClearChannel owns pretty much ever flourishing channel that pulls serious ratings. Say if the figure was correct, that 11% would amount to 80% of total radio audience (just to put it into perspective; not to be taken as an official figure).
Furthermore, there is quite a useful site to check whether the channel belongs to ClearChannel or not.
it's not the historical sites, as much as it hurts the ecology as a whole. People don't realize that diverting massive streams of water to create artificial dums in places not intended by nature could have catastrophic results.
I direct you to study the history of Aral sea, which was the biggest man-made clusterfuck in USSR history aside from the obvious.
more than thirteen thousand hectares of fertile soils were flooded by the Toktogul Reservoir. In addition to constricting the downstream water supply to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and eventually to the Aral, the dam destroyed the fragile ecological balance within the region and the once beautiful area surrounding the reservoir was transformed into a desert

is like installing a spoiler wing on a Bentley.
Totally unnecessary.

hey dipshit, check your sarcasm detectors.
I believe the next story would be about this mailing list entry.
That proves that SCO contributed nothing but bugs to linux kernel.
This is attributed to the fact that Mactopia has as much to do with Microsoft as Bare Bones Software has to do with Apple.
They are completely different entities.
but ZergRush.la and WillGiveSOJ.la are still available
And what if there are few versions of the truth? Which one out of those stands on its own?
Truth != One

Not much action yet, but it will soon be there. Today is the season finale. Don't miss it.

Great concept. Shitty implementation.
your post makes me sad. :(

I know exactly what you mean.
Concept drawing by one of the SpyMac users, but it's definately something I'd pay for.

There is much more
And to put this into perspective, it was such a small sea but had so much impact on surrounding areas as a result of artificially invoked desiccation.
