Did you do that through a school in your home country (I assume US?) or just applying to schools in AUS/JPN? Also, how was the Japanese school set up? I've seen a few "english language" grad degrees floating around private universities there, but haven't been too sure about how all of that worked. I always figure that whatever school I go to in the states will have some kind of options to send me away, but it seems like just applying to a foreign school would be better. Thoughts?
Developers don't have much to do with consumer level products like that. A developer isn't going to be writing software for an iPhone and has little to do to an iPod either other than software sync on the desktop, which likely wouldn't change much with a new iPod. WWDC is for things related to the developers. All of their Pro products are at show here. Notice how most the features in OS X they showed off were useful to devlopers who either will want to be using the features for themselves or might want to make use of APIs for future applications.
Faster? Dual G5s are going to smoke any Intel Apple releases from what I'm seeing. If folks want power, go ahead and get it. G5s aren't going to be completely phased out even after they release and I suspect all of the high powered machines will stay G5 for a while. People that want/need a dual processor 64bit solution, will buy a G5 dual processor 64bit solution.
No, not I. My friend you see, he was getting spray paint. Hence why they wanted his ID instead of mine.:) If worse came to worse, I could have gotten it for him I suppose as I am more than a year older than he and therefore should quite legally be able to buy simple cans of spray paint.
I went to Wal-Mart with a friend buying some spray paint and when we gave her his ID (not a license, but an ID) she got really snappy about the whole thing. He's 18 but doesn't drive. We were wondering why and so we were asking the lady, but as I said she was a bit snappy. I wanted to know at what age you can't buy these products? I assume 16?
In short, after she got snappy she offered us to see her manager about it blah blah blah throw us out of the store blah blah blah. I wanted to talk to her manager about how snappy she got. Not returning to that store, not that I shop at Wal-Mart to begin with.
You're right. That's why I've started suggesting to every potential molester I see that they wait till the kids are at least twelve and a half.
Honestly, the issue isn't if it's wrong or not, and it shouldn't really be about technicalities of who it is. It's about how right it is to track a person FOR LIFE. Do you really think it'll be that long before other crime punishments pick up the same nifty technology if it's allowed for this purpose?
Hmm well both my iBook (700mhz dualusb) and my Dell 8200 (When it cost like $300 for the UXGA UltraSharp screen) had dead pixels. I bought my current laptop, my PowerBook (2004 1.5ghz), used though and so I was able to be sure there weren't dead pixels before I got it. My experience says that it's luck of the draw, and I'm aparently not overlucky so I need to play it safe.
That said, a guy at work today in our sales department was talking about his two Sony LCD televisions and both of them had dead pixels, the smaller of the two actually had a BUNCH of them. I might note that he got that TV on some sort of clearance at Best Buy. It was probably cheap for a reason.
You'll hear a different story from everybody that is involved with dead pixels or those luckily not involved with them. I'd rather be able to send my expensive devices back for them, though some companies seem to disagree with that. I doubt it's just that Sony can't make an LCD worth a damn.
The issue with the 20/page is more that I search for messages I want to delete so that I can filter out all of my labeled messages and such. It makes for a long search string, but in the end I can make it so that the only messages that come up are the crud I don't want. After that, I can select all and delete. Sadly, changing the default messages per page doesn't change how many show up when you do a search.
tip: while shift clicking to read a message doesn't work, ALL composing can be done in a seperate window. Just hold shift while you press (or shift+the hotkey) the reply/forward button. You'll have your message up for reference, and your composer up for typing.
If you want to be ticked with anything abuot GMail, try cleaning up your mailbox when you get from half to all the way full of archived (unlabeled) messages. Have fun deleting 20 messages at a time from the search window.
You use your ms mouse. No thanks on my end! My scroll wheel needs to have some tactile feedback or I go insane. Most of the MS mice don't click when the wheel is used, or at least don't click hard enough. It's got to be a Logitech (MX510) for me. Though that costs money for quality too!:)
Yes, the very latest updated and all. I've been trying to prove myself wrong about this issue since this article was posted. It seems that starting Exeem does trigger something internal that creates the adcache directory, but nothing is ever put into that directory. Before trying to detect it, there has been NO blocking of programs or servers on my network or on my local machine to stop it from downloading ads if it did have Cydoor working. As far as it goes, this machine isn't used a lot so it's fairly easy to see what is and isn't going on. It should also be a prime target for spyware since before now it did not have any protection for spyware installed. As far as Exeem goes, I see a white box in Exeem that I assume is for ads, but it doesn't actually display any.
Are you sure? I've looked around after some folks have said things about the privacy statement and some of the spyware removal tools. There's something very odd because I do not have anything to block it from installing Cydoor and I do not have Cydoor installed after installing it. I've grabbed a few of the mentioned removal apps to check and they do not find it nor do the dlls or registry entries exist. The only possible option to change the installation other than a freak bug (what spyware company would ship with a bug that prevents it from installing, really) is the toolbar option. I would submit that it is indeed that toolbar option as the privacy statement does quote:
"Ads that might appear outside Exeem.com and eXeem™ application are Opt-out ads, that you have a chance to uninstall. Outside Exeem.com and EXeem™ application is eXeem's Toolbar LookSmart."
I'm confused. I have the official Exeem 0.20 installed and Cydoor is NOT on my machine. Does it only install if you select the install ie toolbar option? Do we really need a hacked installer just for that?
Latency? I haven't gotten to read all about peercast, but I think you get your stream from a swarm instead of the next person so that every next stream isn't X number of seconds behind the broadcaster. That protects me from some kid who only has a dialup to serve the stream to me as well. Otherwise we might have to setup peercasting timezones for those who are behind the crowd lol.
Amen... what in the hell are the writers thinking?? This is a security backhole, not spyware. Tell us how you've found the desktop app sending our documents and usage statistics to Google if this is spyware!!
They might be able to, won't make much money at competitive prices when the music industry is breathing down your neck for nearly all of the profit from those sales. Considering that gaming platforms are locked down (the way Apple wants the iPod) and direct competition is between the initial sale of the machine. The music industry (players included) can't afford to do that with any sort of open media out there like physically unlocked discs. We can look at Napster to see how loss leader player sales actually work.
It seems that the article review (sorry, my bad. I didn't mean to rtfa) left a lot to be desired when it praised SpyMac.
I think it also left a lot of the strengths of GMail out as well. For instance, they left out the fact that GMail has Google's search engine capibilities in it to search your mail. With my GB of space, I subscribe to listerv groups for various development projects and can readily search through my own mailbox for information instead of weeding through the internet. Of course related to the search capibilities, he forgot to explain the labeling system versus traditional folders. The fact that your inbox is a single folder and several labels can be applied to a message is a pretty big difference in our traditional mail usage.
My dad still uses a hotmail account because he doesnt want to tell people about his new account (I was even nice enough to invite him), and it sucks. I can't really understand how they would ever expect to sell a hotmail account based on their free service's speed and spam issues.
All in all, I don't think this review is too great. It hardly explores the tip of the iceberg in how GMail changes the way people use email. His recomendation for GMail is good but not very well justified by his article.
Their help pages do say that they're planning POP support. That'll fix all of the backup needs you may have.
Q: Does Gmail support automatic forwarding and POP3 access?
A:
Not at the moment, but Google believes in helping people access information whenever and however they want to do so. In the future you will be able to access Gmail messages from non-Gmail accounts for free or at a nominal fee.

You can outrun a cop. However, you can't outrun a radio.
I haven't noticed that in my OS X copy...
I'm hoping that you're trying to be stupid. Pentium M is not 64-bit and does not outpreform a G5, let alone SMP G5s.
Faster? Dual G5s are going to smoke any Intel Apple releases from what I'm seeing. If folks want power, go ahead and get it.

I sat here for 5 minutes trying to decide if I should reply to your comment or not.
I didn't grow to 3ft until I was 14 thankyou!

Thanks, but as I said: the search window. Changing the default message views doesn't change how many come up in a search.

I've got the even older version of that which lacks a wheel and instead has the third button. I use it on my work machine and love the crap out of it!
You use your ms mouse. No thanks on my end! My scroll wheel needs to have some tactile feedback or I go insane. Most of the MS mice don't click when the wheel is used, or at least don't click hard enough. It's got to be a Logitech (MX510) for me. Though that costs money for quality too! :)
