it's not just window resizing, all windows managers can resize (did you even read the article?) It's about the wonderfully useless ANIMATED window resizing. Looks like all you apps are going down the frain when it's turned on.
I guess it depends on who your trying to protect your stuff from. If this approch does have a high cost and your interest is just in keeping you boss, girlfriend, or random h@K3rZ from getting in. Then your probably pretty safe where you are now. On the other hand, maybe your the uber-paranoid type, the NSA has the resources to put this system into use, in which they have rendered your keys unsafe.
Isn't appleworks and microsoftworks the same thing? I thought that they were both really repackaged clarisworks. But then again I haven't seen a new copy of msworks in like four years, not that I've been looking.
WHAT!!! 10 mb?
You obviously don't work with any sort of graphics or multimedia. Some of my files are almost 2 gb in size. Photoshopfile routinely start at 600mb and get quickly pushed over the 1 gig mark with layers, that's pretty normal. And if you work in video things get even bigger faster.
10 mb might be good for standard home use, but in the design world it doesn't even come close
But generaly a story posted on/. about apple will get about 1000 time more responses then one on mac/. And Mac/ seems to be updated only once every 4 or 5 years (well, not that long but you get my drift)
WOW they gave you an application CD. I always have to install the damn recover CDs and then copy the apps off of that partition to where I want them. Apple did how ever give me a CD that I havn't seen come with a PC for over 15 years. My G4 came with a hardware diaognostics CD to test all the mother board componants with. That would be something I'd like to see come with all PC's.
If Fox didn't prempt it every other week for some game or another maybe it could get itto a groove that would make people watch all the time. How can you expect to develop a following if you only air the show once every other month. Constantly prempting a show is as bad as changeing its time slot 6 times over the season, and then blame a lack of rateings for the cancelation.
art has, by nature, nothing to deal with technology
Read the other posts.
The essence of art is just to be art
Art for arts sake is a very new concept (>100 yrs). Art has always been tied into the very fabric of all parts of society. In the 18th century (and before) paintings such as The Wreck of the Medusa where circulated to spread information, the same was done during the Industrial revolution to spread the word about the inventions and the social change. At the begining of the 20th century people such as Diego Rivera where makeing murals on industrialists walls that advocated a change in the way an industrialized society should be structured, that had every thing to do with technology and jack to do with art.
only looking in the enormous amount of not so interrrsting productions
Just because people have the tools, doesn't mean they know how to use them. Not every (re very few) movie that come out of Hollwood is worth your time to even watch the damn preveiw. The same goes for TV, music, books, magazines,conversations even.
Contemporary art is the product of pure talent and hard work
Mostly true, but shouold probably be stated as Good Contemporary work. There's a lot of crap out there, people putting bongs and shit into galleries and calling it art.
Technology can be useful as a media to this production, but it is only at the service of art
Well that's kind of the whole point as to why the two are so intermingled. Technology is a tool, artists use tools, they also make new tools when what they need can not be found. Artist are a part of society, and they react to society. Technology is part of society and also reacts. Both artists and technology are part of society and they react to each other.
The only thing I am sure of, is that real creation is really hard to find nowadays
It comes and goes, I think that it may be on an upswing with people like Nancy Davenport and Anthony Goicolea comeing into to art world.
Art critics of the last 100 years have widly acknowledged how intertwined Art and tech are. It was a big part of the surrealist movements. The Italian Futureist were all about the man/machine conection. There are entire fields of postmodern study that are all about what came first, the chicken (art/culture) or the egg (tech). This book is just trying to cash-in on a fad that subsided two three years ago.
The computer is a tool that can be used for many things. About two years ago it became a tool that could afordably create a piece of visual art that was on par with the traditional analog way of doing things. Yes I know you could get high quaility stuff before that, but I'm talking afordable, not just available.
Just because artist have a new tool doesn't mean that it changes the relationship that the arts have always had with technology.
We've mentioned this one before, but it really looks like they are going to push it. Insane.
Shouldn't that be inane rather than insane? Someone needs to tell BT to stop their bitch-squealing and try to figure out why they hemorrhage money so that they can fix it, rather than blame it on some other company that "stole" their briliant idea. I'm still not convinced that what they patented even was a hyperlink in the manner that it gets used on the net. Besides, doesn't a company have to use a defend a patent early on or they lose the right to scream foul, especially 15 years latter.
Pioneer announced today that they will be reviving the 78rpm record. "With newly developed technology, we can now one whole hour of pure, unsampled, analog music onto one of these babies. Our lab tests prove that the analog waveform is purer and cleaner than a sampled digital recording. This along with our new longer playback, we here at Pioneer think that people be throwing their small, convenient, well supported CD's out the window for our product.", commented Pioneer spokeswoman Elisia Jones.
We see one of these things every few years, and only a fraction of the tech makes it into reality. Cooltown doesn't even seem to have any thing new in it, just the same old ideas rehassed over again. Hometime used to build a house of tomarrow every couple of years on their show. It would be much more interesting if someone built a modle home that had actual, realistic, tech built into it. Not a house that would warm the gararge 30 min before you got home (Billy Boys), but something that was helpful like an intigrated network for voice/data/whatever, smart lighting that turned on when you entered the room (and saves energy by turning itself off), that sort of stuff. Build a house that is technologicaly advanced and doesn't cost $1mil.
Um, but this board costs close to $4000. It would be cheaper to buy a full fledged mac and strip out all the componants. Terrasoft also sells PPC computers, but not stand-alone mother boards. They will build you a cusomized board though.

I see alot here about putting back issues online for free or around $1 a piece. Well the comic companies won't do it for free, there would be a huge cost incurred in transfering all those comics to digial, new comics no so much since most them end up digital before printing. A dollar sounds good for one comic, but reading a whole run would become costly quick (for the consumer).
I think that the best way to go is subsciptions. For $10 to $20 a month you could get access to a companies whole library except what published in the last 5 to 10 years. Tht way it would be a resonable cost if your going to read a lot of issues, and the year thing would prevent people from just waiting untill it gets put on the web to read it. They could even give yearly subsriptions to idivdual titles at $12 (half of a mail sub) that let you read a book as it comes out, I'm sure that the money saved on printing would easily cover it.
are drooling so hard right now that they're wetting their pants over this. Onstar already does something similar and can bet that this will only be used to spam us while walking around. And can anyone explain why onstar uses Batman as its spokes person? Makes no sense to me.
First let me say that I think your comments are justified. However, I still don't think that you have right to complain about this forum under the heading of another story. To bitch that all the posts where moded down for being off topic when they all where in fact, off topic, makes your complaint on the matter baseless.
You've filled your manifesto with comparisons to K5, claiming that it is a better forum, when it is a different type of forum (yes it has a similar following). Rather than try and make slashdot better you would have everyone pack up and leave for the country over (Canada here we come!;) by saying "it's mostly the same over there but better". What a bullshit thing to do. In stead of dropping your text bombs in inappropriate places and then complain when they get moded away, you need to try and get it made into an article for discussion of its own. Much more can be accomplished if play with in the rules rather than flaunt them and cry about when you get called on it.

There are actually companies that sell such boxes. They make them out of metal and have the holes predrilled. Why doesn't /. ever cover those?

I don't understand the spell check. Do people do wordprossesing in PS?

They didn't exactlly 'pick up' Buffy. They out bid WB for the rights, WB lost Buffy, not UPN picking it up.

of course they do, they come with boxes of cerial and crap. But they don't sell them any more.
