In other words, we can show you only what makes us look as if we have a case
It's even worse than that.. they can simply call you up and say "there is no code, we don't have a case, we're bluffing" and you couldn't tell anyone.
In fact, I bet that's exactly what they're doing...
The state of radio today is so bad, I can't imagine a use for this device.
Why record anything when you can be sure that whatever you just heard will be repeated an hour later? I don't need to record stuff off the radio so I can listen to it later, the radio station already solves that problem by looping the same 10 songs over and over again.
, I believe that you will changge your mind saying 'absolutely marvellous' if you try listen to more hi-fi models, for example, alchemist amp with a marantz cdplayer, etc.
I think you're dead on. Many of the people who are like "you can't tell the difference" say that because they've never been exposed to a good system.
When I was younger, every 3 years I would go to get my prescription updated. Every 3 years I would swear up and down that my prescription hasn't changed, and I can still see just fine. Every 3 years I would get new glasses and be amazed at how much better I can see, and how I was practically blind before.
Sure the music sounds great to you now, but when you finally hear a good system, you'll wonder how you ever thought the old system was "good" let alone "great".
Couldn't he just replace his website with the phrase "Miss Vermont is a bitch"... she can't sue him because there've been so many Miss Vermonts over the years, how could she prove he meant her and not the previous Miss Vermont?
Does theft of pictures take place, where someone can easily remove pictures from someone's web site so they aren't there anymore????? I rather doubt it.
No, you can't steal with HTML. You can copy. However, you can copy with Flash as well, with a screen-capture.
You're missing the very real problem. Nearly every site these days has to deal with remote linking. People stealing your bandwidth without sending traffic your way. Flash is one way to deal with remote linking, another way is to set up apache to check referrers, and send goatse to anyone with a referrer that's not your site.
So being forced to hold down the 'control' key with Apple's one button mouse is damn near a mortal sin, yet holding down the 'alt' key to mive a window is perfectly understandable?
Don't forget that with this WM, Maya and programs like it are now completely unusable. Since to manipulate objects you hold down alt and drag. Instead this will just move the window. I'm all for minimalism, but if it actually breaks applications, it's useless.
At least Sawfish et al use the Windows key to do this...
You move any window by pressing alt, then click anywhere in the window and drag. It is EXCELLENT, and when you think about it, isn't it really weird to have to aim for a small title bar to move the window? Like having to grab the top end of a paper on your desk to move it.
Gnome's wms do that too, but instead of stealing the alt key from the application, they use the useless Windows key. Hold down the windows key, click and drag.

I've played this game.. the graphics suck, it's basically just green lines on a black screen. There didn't seem to be any sort of plot at all. I think the name of the game was EKG.
The biggest problem with Safari (a huge problem when you consider the fact that the majority of safari users are web developers), is that it caches way to much.
It caches flash, javascript, style sheets. Having to shift-reload several times just so you can see changes is a pain in the ass, and it doesn't even work all the time, sometimes you have to quit it and reopen it.
So they'll only release it to people willing to sign the nondisclosure that will possibly restrict what they do anyway. That makes me a bit suspicious myself.
I'd do it. An NDA wouldn't prevent anyone from telling us what we need to know.
It'll be either one of two things:
"I grepped for their alleged code in the linux kernel, and didn't find anything" or "blahdriver.c lines 150-180"
Either way you didn't violate the NDA, and still told us what we need to know.
Lastly, I know for a fact that Apple's DRM can hardly be called a DRM. How many people would HONESTLY have a reason to use an audio file on more than 3 computers? Even if you did how hard is it to burn a CD with the songs and then use that CD on as many computers as you want?
Nice rose colored glasses. The fact is, it *is* DRM. If Apple gets enough pressure from the RIAA, Apple can make it so that you are no longer able to burn those songs to CDs, they retain complete control over how you use your music. Just because they allow you to do certain things now, is no guarrantee that they'll continue to work in the future.
Apple has a history of forcing you to upgrade. Want to use Safari? You have to pay $120 to upgrade to Jaguar, because it won't run on earlier versions of OSX. Want to use Apple's Music Store? You have to upgrade to iTunes4 and upgrade your Quicktime libraries to 6.5. Who's to say that they won't force you to upgrade to iTunes 4.1 if you want to continue to use the Music Store, and lock everything down.
You know what the Mac Window Manager is? It's a UNIX daemon. You know what Mac OS X "Web Sharing" is? It's Apache. You know what the core compiler of ProjectBuilder is? It's gcc.
I can put apache and gcc on windows... doesn't make it unix... or even unix-like.
Yes its nice to see a success story but do we really need to get a story on every KDE/GNOME deploment in the universe ?
This just in.. I've just deployed GNOME on my laptop. I can't say how much money it has saved me, accounting is still working on the numbers. Upper management (my wife) is still resistant to converting the entire household.. but we're making progress.
There's already a better solution to this. Demo discs. Nintendo and Sony both sell demo discs (or give them away with purchase). There's about 5-10 games on each disc, with about 1 playable level from each game.
It's friendlier for the environment, a great marketing tool, and certainly a better solution.
That '80 GB' hard drive you just bought isn't 80 GB, it's (depending on the manufacturer) either a 80,000,000,000 byte hard drive or a 80,000 MB hard drive.
Um, you do know that Gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes.. you're thinking of Gibibytes. The harddrive people aren't lying to you, they're following the standards.
you can pick up a used xbox for about 150 even new one for 200, last I heard the pc version will require a rather expensive video card,
According to Carmack, the Radeon 8500 should run Doom3 "perfectly". And that can be found for less than $100 these days.. even less by the time it's released.
Aspyr did a crappy job porting Wolf and MoHAA. So the reason you think "a lot of people get way too caught up in frame rates and technical specs" is because you're not seeing the difference.
Wolf and MoHAA look like crap on the mac. The texture quality is horrible.. no amount of hardware is going to make it look any better either. So obviously you don't see the need for better video cards, there aren't any games available that support it.
Now try and play C&C Generals and Splinter Cell and then tell me your card is good enough.
*NIX filesystem is the perfect example of a logical FS heirarchy. if you dont see it as logical, then you don't understand it.
Perhaps we don't understand it because it's not logical.
What goes in/usr/ccs/bin? What the hell is ccs anyway? is it different from/usr/local? or/opt? Is there really a reason to segregate your applications directories?
Or perhaps you think it's entirely logical for me to have to guess whether it's/opt/perl/bin/perl or/usr/local/bin/perl or/usr/bin/perl? Because it can be any number of those for completely arbitrary reasons. Not logical ones.
When the sh*t hits the fan, I need to be able to log in - as root. There are decades of wisdom behind Unix, most of which I have no desire to re-learn.
Perhaps you should re-learn it, because obviously you didn't catch it all the first time.
If any user's home directory is inaccessable, you'll end up in / You won't be prevented from logging in. Root doesn't need a home directory.

Does Firebird work well with Flash/Java and the other plug-ins we do desperately need?
Why is this insightful? Of course it does, and it always has! That's like asking if Firebird can be used to surf the web.
