Heh. Regarding your sig. The one in DC has proven his idiocy. Over and over again. Thanks for the WMD George. I'm sure we all feel safer and more secure now that they are found. 200+ billion? Naah, we don't need it for anything in particular.
I love double opt in. It is so honest and respectful of the person you are emailing.
Now, on the other hand if your company had previously harvested and spammed, I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love to have your bosses shot and killed.
Now on the other other hand, thank you for having the balls to be ethical and take the gutsy step to ask the crowd for what they would like to see.
I'm sure you could go into the library folder and remove the printers. I do think that the languages are installed into the applications but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Remember that the library folder you want is at the root of the HD.

Here's a tip on the iBook. When installing the OS, MAKE SURE that right before you finally install that you click customize and uncheck all the languages and printer options you don't need.
This will save you at least a gig and your install should take 15 mins to 1/2 an hour.
1. There are tools to remap keys. I'm sure the command and control keys can be switched as well. Yes, you do need to look for the tool or option.
2. Idiotic. Command S is not easy enough? Tool bars are generally evidence of poor design. You memorize the shortcut keys for your frequent options. Yes, there can be designs where there are too many keys to remember but SAVE? Oh command S people.
3. control click anyone? why a multi button mouse when control click works just as well and doesn't confuse new users?
4. Interesting, I'll agree.
5. This is horrible. Totally completely stupid and horrible. You sort by name and just TYPE the name of your folder and then press command down arrow to open it. Why in hell do people want an alphabetical sort to separate any files from folders? How do you know when the folders stop and the files start? What if you have more than one screen of folders? Folders at the top is something I really really think is pretty damn stupid as it breaks the metaphor of alphabetical sorting. Oh, if you want it, PathFinder, a finder replacement, has it
6. Um, ok. Software authors heed to increase their budget to have a copywriter write the context sensetive help.
And on : - Existing files selectable in Save dialog This sucks. I want to click in the file list to set my focus there so i can command up or command down arrow into and out of folders. But now, when I click to set focus, if I hit a file name, I mistakenly replace my current file's filename with that of another file and if I press save, I run the risk of overwriting it and deleting that other file. Super lame.
Oh, I admit w have to spend the money but I know a federal prosecutor and he's like "but camon - no one is getting harmed, shot or killed". He doesn't come out and say it but there are more severe things out there and piles of more severe cases on his desk.
SO, I know we have to spend the money but if we/they aren't, then just what are you going to do?
I've been getting spammed since 1996 I think. At least 1998. Don't you think we'd have come up with a solution by now?
The heavy handed threatening and bodily injury tactics of the Mafia work for a reason. In fact, my father an uncle had to scare away a convicted child molester from one of our adult female family members with exactly that - the threat of severe bodily harm.
Guess what. It worked. You might not like it but it worked.
And I ask you, what else would be a simple, quick and effective means of controlling these people? It's been 7-9 years I/we've been getting spammed and they are still winning.
Yes, it's all about using your evil for the forces of a greater good for the community.
So when do you stop?
And who is the right kind of evil to do this? "Ok, we wiped em out, now we can put up safeguards and we can stop."
I mean, we know these people are scum so why do we simply bitch and let them persist? So we can bitch some more?
Of course the US's heavy handed military approach doesn't work that well (even though the US does give a shtload of humanitarian aid in the world) because it runs the risk of creating those who will grow up to defeat those who bring this policy to bear on them. And it's exxxpensive.
But we do have a different situation here which I liken is akin to the wild west where people did have to stand up to the thugs and hit back on their level. They are getting rich while causing aggravation and misery to MILLIONS and hurting businesses. when do you decide to step up the actions against them and when do you draw the line?
The reason they (the spammers) win is that they are banking on the assumptions that individuals aren't able or willing to step past their level and shut them down.
This is the wild west and the crooks are being allowed to hang around.
CD : Exit Planet Dust by the Chemical Brothers. I had to encode them at a rate of 98 since all I had to store them on was a 100 Meg drive. Ya. Meg. It was like 200 bucks back them.
Who demoed it : For a short time, Apple's Phil Schiller worked at Macromedia. He was the guy. Took it to some meeting, was super cool.
And the apps: Bingo! You got 50% of it. Back then when we were working on Shockwave Audio, SWA really was MP3 - but even we didn't know it. To the best of my knowledge, Macromedia was the first major licensee of Fraunhoffer's technology and it was used in Director, Shockwave and SoundEdit 16. The Audio was recorded and compressed with SoundEdit 16. The player was created in Director and was cross platform from the get go.
I mentioned this to our VP, Norm and he instantly thought of issues with the MPAA so nothing became of my creation. Too bad we were a few years ahead of our time. Others, like Buzz Kettles on the SoundEdit team created simple players as well. I'm pretty sure mine was the first to create a playlist and allow songs to be selected from a list. A few months ago at a bar in San Francisco, a guy came in, recognized me and said "Zav! Hey, Do you remember when we wrote the first mp3 player ever?" Man, I had totally forgotten about it. And in case anyone cares, my name is Alex Zavatone.:]
I wish to point out a quote that is favared among the Linux crowd, "free as in beer". To a no Linux user, this will appear strange since they know that everyone except bar owners and cute girls must pay for their peer. Therefore, people look at that term and go "what the hell? That's not true."
It is inherently confusing and should be steered away from when addressing people outside the club.
The email included this sentence near its beginning:
"To exploit a cliche - free as in speech, as well as free as in beer."
This is a poor idea as the author is asking for members of a community who might not be Linux users to "get" their message. this is not the correct way to address that audience. Talk to them in terms thay are likely to already understand instead of using the parlance of the Linux community that is probably poorly understoof outside of it.

Well, too bad the article was actually asking "what were your favorite moments"
Amazing that one can get trolled for actually listing them.
I'm sure you could go into the library folder and remove the printers. I do think that the languages are installed into the applications but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Remember that the library folder you want is at the root of the HD.
You'll probably get at least 500 Meg back.

YES! Simply command or option click and drag would make a window resizable from that corner. That's been my feature request since 1987.
There IS a hack for this or something like it.
Lemme dig it up.

As the author of the first publicly demoed MP3 player (in 1996), I enjoy this anniversary immensely.
:]
Now for the trivia questions:
What CD was used for the demo?
Who demoed it?
What two applications were used to produce the MP3's?
I wish to point out a quote that is favared among the Linux crowd, "free as in beer". To a no Linux user, this will appear strange since they know that everyone except bar owners and cute girls must pay for their peer. Therefore, people look at that term and go "what the hell? That's not true."

Weeeell glory be. It is a dup. It's from April.

There is no value in spam, the only value is in obliterating the people who send it.
Use an almost lossless codec like Apple's quicktime pixlet that you can easily access and edit into other distribution ready formats.
If you also want more space savings at ALMOST H.264 quality without the immense time to compress, try exporting to 3ivx quicktime at qp1.
Once you have a smaller archival format like either of these, then focus on your backup media approach.
