I'm still looking for a CLI client that works in the background and can be easily used. Something like curl or wget for BT. Would be cool if I could set up a client in cron and whenever I drop a torrent file in a specific folder it starts downloading. Any ideas?
Whenever I see Comic Sans it's pretty much worthless on academic information. Problem is, many unis still think it's cool to use it for application forms such as family accomodation. It's hard to take such things serious.
Another benefit for MS is a "not so bad after all" image. If they dropped support people would loathe MS even more for not supporting their system which used to work always fine with Office. They probably gain not much financially but get some positive feelings. Maybe.
let's think back 6 years or so, notebook hds had less than 10 GB and compared to now this is pretty much nothing you would want. I mean this would not even be enough to have more than just the OS running on it. You want movies, music and pictures, all the space wasing stuff there is. In another six years you probably want 1TB of space on your disc to have all your HD-movies on it. That look a bit impossible to do (at least right now) with solid state storage solutions. Still I think the idea is good and solid state serves a great purpose for smaller devices such as iPods and the like.
I do see the joke but it's not really funny. That's why he still got only one point, that's right? Objective C is good and Python is good. I guess Steve wouldn't have taken BSD if he only wanted Objective C. The Power of Unix is the ease of all the languages.
I wouldn't say so, Creation is as much possible as is evolution, the only difference is the assumption of a higher being. But what I was trying to get at is not that scientists would change their mind due to new evidence, that is exactly the difference in the ongoing creation/evolution discussion. Nobody, neither believer in evolution nor believer in creation would change his mind due to a change in evidence. Both would look in other directions to prove that his theory is still valid. My point is, in this discussion both sides are faith based or science based, I know lots of good scientists that do not believe in evolution, whatever reason for, and they are looking in other directions, taking everything just for a theory. With this as a firm base you can even look at creationism a try to find out whether it could be scientifically proven. What's wron with creation, would you refuse it even when it showed better evidence than evolution?
Reading the headlines it strikes me that we are talking about scientists and fundamentalists. Reading the comments on this article I wonder if there is any differenc ebetween these two. Okay, scholars tend to have a firm stand in their own theories and beliefs but this evolution/creation discussion goes a bit beyond that. Even if one or the other case became clear to be true no faction would ever admit being wrong. And that is the real drawback in this discussion, it's more than a scientific debate, it's actually about "Does God exist". Quoting the pope and some known christians who abandon the idea of intelligent design would not admit the non existence of God and so they don't really count as a pro-Evolution argument. After all, we are talking about theories, aren't we? As much as I know, there has been neither evidence for one or the other shown so far and maybe things are much better explained with a third theory?
Hey, did anybody consider that there is not the Arabic out there? When we're talking about the Arabic, it's basically a synthetic language, set up by islamic scholars sometime between the 7th and 10th century. There was so much trouble reading the Qur'an, they needed to write a prescriptive grammar and dictionary which cannot be backed up by older texts other than the Qur'an itself. This is a major problem with rabic.
Aside from that, Arabic differs so much from one country to another, you can't just set up something to translate it. It's like saying English and German are Germanic languages, so let's make a translator from Germanic (ie Eglsih or German or Danish or dutch) to Chinese. It won't work (I'm talking about the present). Vowel qualities differ so much, there's no chance to match two regions. Heere again the problem lies with the Arabic, it's a sacred language and nobody would say he or she is talking something like Iraqi or Moroccan, they all speak Arabic. If you lose your language, you lost part of your identity.
Okay, this looks somehow Orientalist but nevertheless, there is a problem with speaking about plain Arabic, it's a bit more complicated.
This is probably not an answer to your question but interesting to other readers with less big photos. FLickr is a nice place to backup data because it is relatively cheap (35$/2 years or so) and you can upload 2GB/month. This works wuite well for me and saves me with the trouble of further HDs and DVDs.
What I like about Linux is the better performance on tasks like KDE. For my part I like the Latex programs on KDE sometimes better (i.e. Kile) Then my scanner only works on Linux (maybe I don't know how to to the Sane-backends on os X but anyway. Sometimes it's just good to have Linux (just as some of us Macusers have a spare Windows machine in their cupboard. Just in case...)
BTW, it's a lot of fun to install Linux. You always get the feeling you have accomplished something very geeky:-)
What about DVI? Is it now part of the iMac? This is my personal long awaited feature. Without DVI it's only half the fun. A second display is always a good thing.
This browser is certainly the best choice if you have Panther on something like an iBook 500 with just about 400MB Ram. Safari tends to be slow, FF doesn't scroll well and is too heavy for my system (and doesn't feel right under OS X) So Camino does really do a nice job. And if you feel that 0.8.2 is too old, why not use a nightly. They work perfectly most of the time.
In case someone is learning Arabic, I've written a little program that helps you conjugate the first stem of Arabic verbs. It's GPL so don't worry about me. Here you go: http://cocoa.sprachwerker.de/programme.php

A bit late considering that every user in the world already has a gmail account. I mean if you wantet an account you could get one, for example from that isnoop.net like I did. And, mostly it's almost redundant since gmx.net offers 1GB as well along with their MediaCenter, a WebDAV disk for free.

Now this one I really like. Normally the funny posts are just awful, but yours is really funny.

You kinda missed the question and if I had any modpoints, I'd have voted 'redundant'.
Rather not, otherwise APple would have put it in one of the later models of the iMac or PowerMac series.
Shall I tell my kids to bookmark this article then? Just in case they forget when it all started?
Now include a Wiki environment and people can dynamically built and develop on the levels. Looks nice, really.

Sorry, dont know what that is. Could someone post a link...
Ah, bother, it's quicksilver. Isn't it?

if they dont bring anything new the stations will certainly bring re-runs which is probably much worse...

Hopefully PPC works as expected. It's a shame that this platform is so poorly supported.
