The submission contains typographical errors that make it more difficult to read. Did the editor even read over the summary? I suppose not, you must be new here, LOLOLOLOLOL, etc... But I don't get it. Is there some thrill in posting sloppy writeups? I'm sure this comment will be 10 times redundant if I wait any longer so I guess I'll submit now and make a meaningful contribution later. At least the "ne" was a failed attempt to write "one" and not an abbreviation for "any" or a poorly placed Monty Python joke. Oh internet...
Actually, according to Apple's developers notes, their final product will be using BIOS, not Apple Firmware. It might be a special BIOS designed by Apple (they hired some BIOS programmers, I believe) but sadly it won't be a different (and better) technology like OF. Link to tech note
And you're awfully good at missing the point. I noted that your argument was entirely without merit, citing 4 solutions, two built-in to OS X and two which were separate installs. You claim that I was wrong because one of the four programs was Mac to Windows observation and control only. I mean, don't mention that I'm still right three times (or two if you have to have GUI interaction and one if you need both GUI interaction and the software to be built in). Why not use a Mac to work on various machines through the network? That way you can access all the Macs and Windows machines with no problem or added software (except for the administrator versions of the software)! Or, get this, you could deploy VNC across all the machines (for free!) and use any machine and any platform to access another. Hell, even Linux and Unix variants! Or is the real reason you don't want to adopt these technologies because you're one of those IT guys who thinks that all machines should be the same? Now, if you'd like to continue to be an asshole, feel free to attempt to refute this.
In fact, one reason we recommend Windows XP for many applications over, say Mac OS X, is the ability to remote into machines easily and with built-in software.
The real reason is that you have absolutely no idea how to use Mac OS X or another OS. Ten minutes with OS X and you'd know that you can use the built-in Apple Remote Desktop or SSH to remotely access the machine or even install VNC or Microsoft's Remote Desktop, which they ported to OS X.
What's gross is that this guy is a known spammer. He's rich because he doesn't have many employees. There's a comment detailing this above in the thread.
The same reason firewire is slower on Windows than Mac OS X. I think it has to due with the USB2.0 drivers Apple wrote. For whatever reason (IO streamlining, CPU time, who knows) they made it run a bit slower. The transfer speed to total capacity ratio is high enough that it doesn't really matter though.
Actually, if you let it, iTunes organizes the MP3s in the file hierarchy as well. Artist -> Album -> Song. There's a slightly different system for compilations.
Well, I tried to mod this funny, but I was told the comment was at its limit. So I tried to make it overrated, so someone could mod it back up as funny, but it said I'd already moderated the comment. Oh well. Damn slashcode bugs.
Yeah, I noticed that after posting. This guy needs to get banned.

Jesus christ! Stop fucking posting. Put it all in one post! I know you're doing this just to get people to participate it the stupid, god damn "free offers" in your "sig", which isn't really a sig because it's too long and I have sigs off. You just paste it there so even people like me can see your trash. Fucking stop it. Now.
And please don't mod me down. I know I'm offtopic (though the topic is cool) and I turned off karma bonus off but I feel like posting anonymously would take away from what I'm trying to say here. Which would be fuck the parent posted for being a lamer. Fuck him in his stupid lamer asshole, where he no doubt stores hundreds of "free", lame gaming consoles.
I have nothing against the French but what's next? France decides SCO's case has merit, claims jurisdiction? I'm just confused. It just seems odd that the country that takes issue with Google's helpful, automated services because they occasionally violate copyright is considering working with Microsoft, the king of anti-trust! No wonder the French people are so jaded.
So they can create an industry making people pay for something that used to be free, of course! If you disagree, you're o better than those filthy environmentalists at the UN trying to ruin our economy!
In all seriousness though, that is the law's intention, though I doubt it extends to personal access points, just publicly funded ones.
"I'm glad the gamma-ray bursts are directed into space."
I'm not. If they were directed downward, creatures on earth would have evolved some defenses against irradiation and made space travel (and a lot of other things) a hell of a lot easier.
Is this a script? If so, you guys need to work on grammar more than relevance. An irrelevant comment usually gets more replies than a grammatically incorrect one.
They are. Kinda. Ok, well they've done some pretty sleazy things but have you SEEN what kinds of horrible things are considered commonbusinesspractice in 2005? I wasn't surprised to see the suit being filed by a diehard mac reseller. I'm sure for those guys getting burned by Apple ends up being more emotional because of zealotry that tends to follow the company. I'd say bitterness filed this lawsuit more than the quest for money.
Ugh, yes, this update has a lot of items relating to G5s. There is a major update to the software controlled cooling system as well as updated graphics drivers and a few other things. The update has elicited no legitimate complaints on message boards I've seen so far. And I installed it on my G5 too. It does, in fact, work great. A nice performance boost, especially in games.
But the Wizards, man! OS X has no wizards? How ever will I set up my internet connection without Gandalf telling me over and over again that my USB cable modem was not found?!
Thanks for the reply even though you're unlikely to get modded up for the effort. It would be interesting to see how large of a scale we could use to simulate brain function and get meaningful results. We'd have to use high-level manipulations for cell reproduction but such a thing is a bit more possible, though possibly unreliable (and cruel? what are the ethics regarding the simulation of a sentient intelligence?!).

Hint: The moderation on the parent comment makes its obvious joke funny.
That sounds like a challenge...
