considering how poor vacation time is in North America, I think we should enforce that law too. Perhaps then people would get some well deserved rest:D.
If you love any of those things more than you do God you can not call yourself the disciple of God, since you "serve" something else.
Nothing new really, Jesus said the same thing on many other occasions and in different terms (you can't love both god and money, you can't serve two masters for you will love one and despise the other etc).
Now if you try to use these passages to "prove" that Jesus was inciting hate in his followers, then you don't have a point. For Jesus also said he did not come to abolish "the law" (i.e. old testament) and the commandment to love your parents is in there too.
I would make a bet that he got paid more than the creative developers working 16 hours a day on the game implementation, and developers don't even have a union either.
called lsbom (look up the man page) that let's you list all the files that will be installed by an application, that you can either inspect prior to installation or post installation. OS X keeps the receipts for installed apps in/Library/Receipts
so for example if you navigate to/Library/Receipts/GarageBand.pkg/Contents
and execute
lsbom Archive.bom
you will get a list of all files that got installed as part of Garage Band application installation.
Then you can manually remove those files, if you want to. Also, you can manually remove user data.
But, I agree that it's not exactly user friendly form an OS that pretends to be user friendly, easy and that "just works" tm.
But if you are a UNIX geek than you prefer to do these things from the terminal manually anyway:D.
is to rename qttast.exe to qttast.exe.disabled, remove the shortcut to quicktime from start menu and create your own that links directly to quicktime.exe
The original one will recreate qttast.exe if you run it.
That way the qttast.exe will not be re-created and it will not be running on startup. Of course you can remove it from HKLM/Software/Microsft/Window/CurrentVersion/Run as well, since there won't be such executable any more. (There may be other references to it in registry).
Also, you can remove the apple services that got installed.
Remember the late 90s and the dot.com bubble. Programming and web programming in particular was hot and everyone and their dog wanted in.
Everyone, with or without any technical knowledge was jumping on the bandwagon and commanding high salaries even.
When the bubble burst, only hard core techies stayed. And today the industry is mostly filled with people who love what they do, even though the salaries on average are not as lucrative any more.
So, yeah, in the bubble lawyers weren't switching to web programming, but high school dropouts, people who barely knew anything about technology or even cared remotely about it did.
larger number of deaths than births. And they are certainly not the only European country. Unlike Japanese, Germans have had healthy immigration policy.
that is a wise decision. Windows is premier development platform with all technologies available (from Java to gcc to.NET and all the other usual scripting languages). Couple that with a good Unix shell (like cygwin or MKS Unix toolkit) and you get the best of any platform.
I would switch to Mac only if your objective (lol) is to develop in Objective C for that platform only.
and suck is a compliment. They are absolutely horrid.
Did you know that nVidia Quadro FX 5600 ($2800 professional 3d sterio super duper workstation card) performs poorer than ATI HD 2600 XT ($130 card) for example in apple pro application benchmarks?

I have 8 core mac pro with 8800 GT (a really good video card in the PC world even today) and majority of animation effects in OS X are choppy as hell and google earth is barely usable with it (5 year old PC with single core and 4 generations older video card beats it).
There is no evidence yet that the person didn't desire to make some things private and their wish should be respected even after death.
You are making a mistake that because someone is dead (and hence obviously can't care) implies that they didn't care when they were alive.
In absence of legal will it is hard to tell what the desire of the person was, but if someone wrote in their will that they want for example their laptop destroyed after their death, it would obviously make it un-ethical to ignore that wish and poke through their laptop.
which is Elephant, is also an endangered species. Interesting.
Only humans, apes, dolphins and elephants are self aware and can recognize themselves in the mirror and know it is them. But it seems all are ill adapted to deal with human technology as enemy #1. But on the other hand we have been superior for relatively short period of time.
and then download some games. Some games are public domain now and can legally be downloaded.
You will need to purchase the Amiga ROM file legally though.
Most Amiga games have better game play than modern games with ultra realistic graphics and video cards that consume upwards of 600 Watts, but the game play absolutely sucks.
I don't know if you are serious or not, but I can only pray and wait for the day when OS X will have type as clear as MS clear type. I recently switched over to OS X and the blurry text is one of the major usability issue with Macs. It's so bad that I would go as far as to say that it makes the Mac useless for anything but editing/watching movies and editing pictures. That in my mind makes Mac and OS X so niche that only a few people should ever consider buying it at all. But when you take into account that Adobe is treating OS X as second class citizen, then perhaps even that is not one of the things Mac is so good for any more.
I'm speaking as someone who recently bought Mac Pro (great albeit still propriatery hardware, non standard connectors for a lot of things internally, Mac specific BIOS on video cards etc, just so you can't easily upgrade and so you have to buy overpriced stuff from apple), but fisher price OS and dumb iApplications.
but for majority of people that's nothing compared to the alternative. Switching to something else means giving up all your familiar apps that you spent years optimizing your workflow in and getting really fast, re-learning something else (which is not a bad thing in itself, it's just that you are kind of slow and useless until you learn enough to be as productive) and in some instances it means switching your "computing philosophy" altogether. And that's a huge. It's like moving to a different country, learning the language and making a living. Not very many people do that.
I tinkered with Linux and got really comfortable with Unix long before I decided it's time to give up the last windows machine at home. But I'm sure for a lot of people that is a huge step forward that many don't have the time or will to make.
Does not happen to me. In some instances it may take a long time for the connection to time out. If you kill the Windows Explorer (before the connection times out) it will kill your current session. But start the task manager and run the explorer.exe process and you can continue.
Windows stopped being that bad since the days of Win 98 and ME. XP never crashed on me or anyone I know and a lot of people I know use it daily.
I personally only recently switched to OS X, but the reason for switching wasn't stability or even security issues like you might think. I just wanted change and something different that can also run Adobe suite of apps (most critically Photoshop).
I'm a proud owner of 8 core Mac Pro. It's only been less than 3 weeks now, but I mostly like the experience. I like the Unix commands and the terminal (I used MKS Toolkit Korn Shell on all my windows machines before), and the equivalent Mac applications (Mac Vim, Photoshop and all Adobe apps) are mostly the same.
My ONLY complaint so far is the poor, fuzzy font rendering in OS X. I just can't get used to it, and compared to windows XP with clear type is quite horrendous. OS X has very few options when it comes to font fine tuning, and none make significant difference. Not sure what my options otherwise are really.
If it weren't for this, I would give the OS X perfect grade.
Oh, and Firefox on Mac seems to be a second class citizen. Version 3 looks promising though...
Mac is designed for technically clueless people who have a fear of computers and technology in general and who want a complex machine to act like a white appliance, as simple as a fridge. It is subtly advertised as such, and if you ever used the Mac you would see this "hide" the complexity approach to design everywhere.
And this kind of computer experience attracts the kind of person you describe above. They want it to "just work" TM and don't care how.
Google Earth has had something like this for a long time now. Is this any better or is it just an expression of Microsoft's fear of Google and need to "me too" everything Google does?
That is the only think preventing me from switching to Linux full time. If I could edit my pictures and videos, I would not look at anything else ever.
Linux is already premium development platform, and if it has Adobe Suite it would also be premium multimedia platform. A dream come true.

does the trick.

Ok, did you perhaps follow the link I posted?
I have 8 GB of RAM currently (I don't think you can even buy mac pro with less than 2 GB right now).
My OS X installation is less than a week old (I have re-installed the OS and apps last weekend).
I only got my mac pro in late March. I'm a software developer and know a few things about computers, so my installation is not "royally" foobarred.
and suck is a compliment. They are absolutely horrid.
