Given that Apple has so much of a huge market share in schools,
I realize I live out in the backwoods (of north caorlina no less) but in all my years of public schooling i never saw one apple in a school or community college lab.
Note to apple: Your products are expensive. Many many schools do not have money to throw around. Perhaps big city schools can afford to get apple only labs...but smaller ones often cannot. And there is a lot of backwoods between the east and west coast.
iTunes for windows asks, however in the first release it was checked by default when it really wasn't clear what exactly was going to happen. Personally I have no problem with it organizing my mp3s based on ID3 tags, but I dislike the fact that it renamed all my songs to exclude artist name.
I don't reallly have a blog, as such, but my domain does have a PHP site that has galleries of my photographs which viewers are able to comment on. Lately i've been getting spam from people who apparently randomly find my site and decide they have to leave their mark (much like dogs leave their marks on bushes)
my solution? Have MySQL log IP addresses along with the comment submission. My intended audience is so small I know the majority of the viewers personally, and thus have no issue walling off an entire ISP ( after reporting that IP address to said ISP's abuse dept)
My favorite radio station has had their playlist up on their website for months... DJs also frequently tell you what's comin up in the next 5-10 songs.
. I dislike guns because I'm not into wacko violent groups of any stripe.
And can you explain to me why having a firearm in my home for defense or recreation automatically makes me a 'violent whacko'? You are mistaken if you think all gun owners are eager to kill someone. I pray I will never have to point a weapon at someone in defense, let alone fire it.
According to them, token ring is JUST now going out? the last time i saw token ring was in my middle school computer labs. None of my professors could name a 'real' (ie in the industry) instance of it still being implemented.
but not nice enough. I listen to bands like Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Genitorturers and Stratovarius. So far I see none of those available for me to buy. The only bands i noticed that i actually would be interested in purchasing were old time swing names like Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey.
Peddling mainstream stuff is a great way to get Apple to make a profit, but it will not get very much money from me.
So far the only major problems i've found with iTunes are when I try to swap CDs...iTunes refuses to aknowlege that the old CD has been removed and a new one inserted...wont play new tracks, won't hit CDDB for new information. Nor will it shut down gracefully, I have to use task manager to kill it.
second bug: If iTunes encoutners an mp3 with a header that says it is zero-length, it crashes without any sort of warning, and without saving whatever importing was done up to that point.
Aside from that, I'm satisfied with it. On the other hand, I read ahead enough to know not to let it tinker with my music library ahead of time...numerous windows users have been burned by the thing trying to 'reorganize' and ending up with near useless mp3 names.
Installed, rebooted QUicktime takes 14 megs of ram (up until now I'd been avoiding installing QT at all) iTUnes itself takes over 20 megs of ram iTunes crashes when i try to add my mp3 folder to its library. So far I can't find any actual support on apple's website. Must be because it never crashes on a mac, so no support is needed...
(don't even talk to me about XP, it's just as bad),
No, sorry, you're wrong, it's not. XP (and 2k if you want to nitpick) Don't die when some application craps out like win9x does. Virtually the only thing that will BSOD a windows XP install is a page fault (shit happens) or a bad driver (still happens alot, sadly, with non mainstream stuff..and some mainstream *cough*alcatel*cough*)

Latest windows release, its unchecked by default
Apple said fairly upfront that if you installed iTunes for windows, iTunes would be the only way to load your iPod anymore.
I don't even have an iPod and yet i know this.
As for the health of it, if you eat "too much" protein your piss will start to smell weird.
Not to mention anything coming out of your ass will smell like toxic waste. Hanging out with bodybuilders sucks.

That's going to cause a problem if you get modded down to zero ;p

Wait till a few people get sideswiped because some moron doesn't wait until the intersection is clear before tearing through it.

...1,250 pages in 2 hardcover books boxed as a set for about USD$95. My life is complete.
Mine will be too.
Once i can afford it.
Which is regularly used as a mouth wash, and easily noticeable because it tastes like crap and fizzes in your mouth.
Right. That's at something like 1% or less concentration. Pure H2O2 strips skin off your flesh with the best of powerful acids.

Right, and muggers don't mean to hurt people, they just wanna make a living...
Bullshit.

Methinks they don't like the attention.
Those dang mozilla fools for being forced to a lower bandwith server. Let's slashdot the hell out of them then! And Mozillazine too!
Long distance charges.
Checking the page info with moz Firebird...i don't see it. Maybe they got rid of the thing?
What would be your choice for middle school classrooms with minimal sys admin?"
Pencil
Paper
erasers optional.
Middleschoolers have enough problems paying attention when all they have are the above three things to play with.

Some /.'ers have familiy that all know C++ apparently...anyway
Winamp
Ad-Aware
Sygate Personal Firewall(Zone alarm sucks)
cDex 1.51(CD ripping software)
Mozilla Firebird popup blocker is nice, esp for clueless users and children
But when Joe Windows formats his new 120 gig HD and finds it only holds 112 GB he's going to feel cheated on those "missing" 8 GB.
Assuming he ever checks. Unlikely at best, unless he fills the thing up with porn.
How bout a Darwin Award ;)
