I'm just wondering if I buy QT5 Pro. What happens when they launch QT6 (Already announced).
You are really just buying a key to unlock features of quicktime that already exist in the program (ever try looking around inside the program with ResEdit on the classic OSes? You can see what I mean). In the past, the same key would transfer with the upgrade. I doubt apple will change that practice.
No. That's just the British TV series. The rumors I speak of were of a hollywood motion picture directed by the guy who directed Austin Powers or something to that effect.
Basically it was like people were at knocking at his door saying "Jesse! We know you're in there! We can see you eating dinner through your windows! We've got the bill for you sign!", and then Jesse, the next day, saying "What bill? They didn't get the bill to me on time! Too bad for them."
This reminds me of another great incident in our state's history. One party (can't remember which) wanted a very different area of land to be carved out from the territory to form the state. To prevent them, the other party, before the vote, proposed that all members of the territory legislature be present before the vote took place. The proposition passed, the majority party suspecting nothing. However, one of the legislators had been chosen to never come and the officer in charge of finding him always reported that he was nowhere to be found (he did know where he was), so the entire session went by without the vote ever getting to take place. The next year, a new set of politicians carved out the state we have now.
I think he's done a farely good job. I'm a libertarian though, so I don't represent any sort of majority opinion. I'll admit he does need to grow up a bit, though.
Right now we are lucky... lucky because there is a giant imbalance between information and the means to process it.
Quick everyone, sownload the new FBI@home client! Now you can use your spare processor cycles to crunch data for Big Brother! Install now or be unpatriotic!
No. It just means, that it holds no water in that case.
If M$ somehow stopped Office and it somehow hurt Apple, then M$ would have another suit against them and even more chance of being split into two companies: Office and Windows.
In reality, M$ can't kill Apple so there is no point giving up revenue to try.

Consider that the man who found the ruins of Troy was laughed at because he tried to locate it based on the description of its location in Homer. That's where it was though.
You got two people using the same disc, essentially.
And..... and what? The universe explodes? Time starts moving backwards? Giant marshmallow-men roam the streets? Somewhere, a musican you don't know dies?
No. But if the two copies come into contact they will melt together and bubble out of existance like at the end of Timecop. (God, that was a bad movie.)
Macs are just fine for programmers thank you very much.:)
True. I do it myself and love it. But you don't need a mac to program easily. While Mac is a good programming platform, Apple will never get more business than OS X has already given it on its programming merits. It just isn't a selling point.
5) I don't need to make Toy Story 3 on my computer, just recompile a kernel and play Civ3
That's what everybody seems to forget in all this: Most people don't do the stuff that a Mac is so great for. A lot of people do though, and those people are the core of Apple's market.
What apple needs to do is encourage more people to do the things Macs are good for. They don't need to sell to the people who don't care about a G4's performance on photoshop, they need to see that more people need to use photoshop and have it be fast.
No one has ever been impressed with how fast or reliably my G4 surfs the internet: you don't need a lot of speed or reliability to surf the internet. They are impressed when I create cool pictures, edit movies and animate 3D movies.
OS X has already done everything Apple can do to impress the Linux and non-casual Windoze users. Someone who only plays games and programs is never going to need a Mac. Apple needs to encourage more people to be content producers, not cater to people who are not content producers.
IAMNAL, but I would venture that one could copyright the song you make from the DNA data, but that the data you used would be unaffected. The song was created by you (or more acurately by your program) but the data was not.
Digital transfer would be interesting though, since as I understand it, the DMCA treats the underlying data as the actual work. This just shows how the DMCA doesn't hold up to logic.
Some one out there with actual legal knowhow, check if the above scenario does actually create a legal paradox. All we need is a player that stores the "songs" as the same data that is used to create them, and we have a challenge to the hated copyright act.
If this is just a little bit hair-brained, it is because it is late.
...what besides the coolness factor are the reasons for wanting to go to mars?
This is the same community of people who hack consoles to put linux on them and use legos as web servers. Do you really think any of us need a reason besides the coolness factor.
... is this just for MacOS X Server or can regular old MacOS X users work the software as well? The page lists the Mac requirements as OS X 10.1, but when I try to find the download I am refered to the propretary OS X Server version.

My deepest respect to the late great Douglas Adams.
Oh, I see, you're being clever by saying you don't understand. I get it.
I think.

My mother still uses a B&W Mac Classic and Quark XPress 1.0 to do word processing. It's the only machine in her office.
And the answer it gave: 42.

btw: this has been up on Apple's news page for quite some time. The article is dated 12 days ago.

We'll just tell him the "media jackels" are monitoring his computer ad it'll be as good as signed.
huh? nothing allowed? you sure this is still MN you're talking about?
also, i think you cut off part of your sentence.
On the other hand, I'd rather donate a few cycles to a virtual nuke than have the government actually explode one to test it.

When your G4 came out: yes. Now: no.

c'mon, I heard about this exactly one year ago! So.... oh.... wait... nevermind.
