You fail to mention that the computer or system you use in school will most likely be nothing even close to what you'll be using 10 years or more later in your working place (unless you're lucky enough to have chosen UNIX).
I learned computers on a Schneider CPC (an Armstrad clone). Nobody even knows this computer nowadays, or even 13 years ago, when I got my first job. Your post is pointless.
When learning a Mac running OS X, people at least have a chance to learn some UNIX basics, which might actually be worth something even in the future.
I wonder how many machines that were promised to run Windows 95 smoothly when 95 came out actually did. People should have sued Microsoft for that, too.
But let's face it: The BSD license is all about the freedom of the user (and what he does with the code, i.e. whatever he/she wants) whereas the GPL only cares about the freedom of the code (and give a fuck about the user, although they say it's for our own good.)
Now, every time someone tells me I can't do this and that, "but it's for your own good", I get very skeptical. Who are they to decide what's for my good?
Why he should get a Mac? Well, he said his XBOX wouldn't let him watch DVDs just on any TV in some Hotel, whereas my Mac will. At least there's no Macrovision preventing me to playback DVDs on the s-video out on my PowerBook.
Well GNU even considers FreeBSD non-free software because of the BSD license.
Basically GNU considers a license (BSD style) that doesn't give you any restrictions whatsoever (except for mentioning copyright) on the redistribution of the software to be non-free. Go figure.
Of course it's much more "free" to have GNU telling me I have to make everything I base on GPL software GPLed as well. This is a restriction. And don't tell me it results in more freedom, because I wouldn't be more free in choosing to use the GPL. The GPL restricts me in how I can use the code.
That's not fully correct, the problem is that some colors in Japanese are adjectives, some are nouns, and some of the adjectives can be turned into nouns by leaving out the i.
Aka - red (noun) Akai - red (adjective)
Midori - green (noun)
Now if you use the color as a descriptive term (the red building) you'd say
'akai tatemono'
but if you build a new word of which the color is a part like 'Redhouse' (doesn't really work with English but works with German btw). You'd call it e.g.
'Akaya' (-ya being house/store). Or like 'kuroi' being black (as adjective), but the beer from a well-known brewery in Japan calls it's black label beer 'kuro-raberu'. This makes it a new compound noun.
Yeah, but with the next version of Office it'll all be XML "enriched" with DRM features.
Not that anyone needed it, it simply means if you create a way to import those new Word files, without explicit permission from Microsoft, they'll get you for violating the DMCA and give you hell.
This time they're set for world domination in an ugly way...
You can actually define your own screen capture key-combos in Panther yourself (ain't that nice;-)
But here are the defaults: COMMAND + SHIFT + 3 capture whole screen and save on desktop
COMMAND + CONTROL + SHIFT + 3 capture whole screen and save in clipboard
COMMAND + SHIFT + 4 capture selection and save on desktop
COMMAND + SHIFT + 4 (+ CONTROL when releasing mouse) capture selection and save in clipboard
COMMAND + SHIFT + 4 + SPACE capture the window you click on and save on desktop If you hold CONTROL while clicking it'll save the image in the clipboard.
With Premiere you can only record analog video if you have a card that will give you the video inputs.
There are cheap converter boxes that convert FireWire to and from S-Video and "normal" consumer equipment video connectors (whatever those are called in English). They work very well, and usually also work with iMovie.
So, there's this guy walking on ice and he views two cows on a Linuxberg (is that some kind of an iceberg?) and five penguins are sitting on them? Would that be three on one and two on the other one?
Sounds quite psychedelic to me...what were we talking about? Er, forget it.

I can't wait until Panther comes out, so I don't have to hear Steve Jobs saying "Jagwyre" anymore...
Well the OSI acknowledged the previous version to be an OSS license as well.
It's just that the FSF now is giving their two cents.
But let's face it:
The BSD license is all about the freedom of the user (and what he does with the code, i.e. whatever he/she wants) whereas the GPL only cares about the freedom of the code (and give a fuck about the user, although they say it's for our own good.)

>The government concerns itself with the actual well-being of the citizens of the U.S.
And only of those--while ignoring human rights in most other parts of the world, starting wars every few years without any particular reason.
Which is completely wrong, because you can take BSD code and redistribute is under the GPL. You can't do the reverse.
BSD has bent over here to GPL, and I wonder wether you ever read what you quote....
Ever heard of MkLinux?
MkLinux was the first Linux distro I ever used and I downloaded it from Apple's website in those days...
MkLinux Developer Release 1 (DR1) was released in early 1996.
It's 'kaputt'. At least in German.
Why he should get a Mac? Well, he said his XBOX wouldn't let him watch DVDs just on any TV in some Hotel, whereas my Mac will. At least there's no Macrovision preventing me to playback DVDs on the s-video out on my PowerBook.
Was that so difficult?

My PowerBook plays DVDs favourably well either on the built in 17" Screen, or via the s-video output on any TV.

That would actually put much more fun in killing hanging apps, also...

Well, shouldn't they then also stop making Xboxes (the hardware) and IE for Windows?
Are they making any money on those?
Since FCP 4 with livetype. FCP even rules in titling. ;-)

Mod partent down. The only zealot I see here is the "Mac zealots will buy everything from Apple"-zealot.
Apple might have bought Logic, but Reason is still made by propellerheads.
;-)
This is probably the strangest sentence I've written in a long time.
>It's OSS; if you hate the interface so much, make a new one.
Yes sure, because all designers are also coders. DUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH!
Well apparently last time you checked was in the 80s. Have you been in deep-freeze since then?
Well better wake up and look at all the innovation that's coming from Apple lately.
