Yeah, my iBook is still working great, and still under warranty and it's an original 500mhz dual usb. These people didn't buy the extended warranty for their laptops and now are complaining when they have problems after year one with they laptop that they lug arround all over the place. They don't realize that electronics fail all of a sudden with out warning, such is the nature of technology. Spring 2004 is when the first dual usb will be running out of extended warranty.
I was under the impression that Yum stopped being the official update mechanism after 2.3, and was replaced by apt for the 3.0 series. I guess I was mistaken.
It is sort of surprising that their "bare bones" install option would include an unsupported package management system, though.
You are thinking of Yup, Yum is Yellow dog Updater Modified. It's new and improved.
Maybe that's why of the many linux's i've had experience installing, Yellow Dog Linux (PPC), was the only one that i've ever had zero problems installing and running out of the box (err out of the iso) and working with all my hardware etc.
OSX had a very very strong NeXTStep framework to build off of. Gnome and KDE had to reinvent those somewhat with things like bonobo and kparts.
OS X has very strong NeXTStep frameworks to build off of, and it is helped the consistant look and feel, however it's the Human Interface Guidelines which are key and that apple's API's and developement tools guide you to making the interface to the Apple Guidelines. Not all Mac OS X applications use the Cocoa (nextstep) api's, you have 3 main api sets to choose from, Cocoa, Carbon(evolution of original mac api), and Java, which even still have a pretty consistent feel. Carbon applications are very prevalent in OS X but still are consistent as these interface guidelines are still very simaliar to the original Mac OS in regards to things like button placement, window namming etc and really didn't need much retooling. Most OS X applications (including carbon ones) use the new standard xml preference files (which came from nextstep and not mac os) because the api's are so simple and so robust that it's easier to use than your own custom scheme.
Plus everyone who talks about these things seems to forget OSX Server (the original one). It bears no resemblance to the current OSX, and that's what was the only thing out for a while before OSX. OSX didn't appear overnight, it was the product of a long gestation.
While the colors looked different and wasn't as shiny, the widget placement and sizes were the same. While yes the interface has changed with each revision of mac os x, they aren't dramatic changes.
and putting the code and ideas into the the hands and heads of anyone who wants it, and for what reason?
Obviously he wanted apple to fix their quicktime DLL so that it couldn't be patched to strip out the AAC stream. This is not like DeCSS which was a crack, he patched apple software to grab the acc stream when it's decrypted. Now since he released his code, apple can look at how he did this and fix the QuickTime DLL so that this code won't work, and that further attempts via this avenue fail.
And if he would have backed up his "/Users/Shared/SC Info" (or even "/Users/Shared") folder before he reinstalled he wouldn't have had to reauthorize either.
All you have to do is fake your user-agent if you want to look around, i'm sure there's a way to do it with many linux browsers. I was able to use Safari on a mac to view this by using an option in it's debug menu to fake the user-agent.
I don't know what this dis-conutinous plot stuff is you are talking about, it seems to me that farscape still has a pretty continuous plot still, they've always had one episodes story arcs for most of every season, with elements that span the whole show even. "John Quixote" was an awesome episode, on par with "Crackers Don't Matter" and certainly much better than "The Flax" And pumkinhead/Die Hard episode is classic, and the season 4 midseason cliffhanger with was amazingly well written.
it wouldn't be so bad if apple offered the email alone for a reasonable price, but instead they are only offering it as a bundle with things most mac users don't need (because they already have them) or want or won't work for them (alot of the features are key to 10.2 only, backup only works with 10.1.3 or greater) So your forced to pay for this extra stuff that you don't want, to keep an email address that you been using for 2 years. $ 8 a month is expensive for email, your more than that, but not really if you don't use the extra.
Wow, alot of these things we already were planing on implementing, (and that bug by the way is fixed in the source right now we don't have a new compiled version yet expect a minor update this week) but we hadn't thought off dimming non active platters, it sounds like good idead especially when we get to drag and drop.

you actually can change the backgrounds, one of our macwarriors group members is working on a theme generator app, but it's actually quite easy to do manually, using a bundle with the images and a plist, but it's quite possible that how themes work may change, that's way it's not really mentioned or description forth coming;-) as apple calls it.

Yeah we've got ten fingers, but they are on two hands, base 6 would allow elementary students to count to 35.

Not as fun as 3DOSX
Actually, owc claims this specific issue occurs specifically when you use a firewire 800 drive when attached to an older mac with a firewire 400 port.

Your saving yourself $1000, but missing a second processor.
By your response, you obviously don't understand what the Realty Distortion Field(tm) is.

i'm not the one who implemented it, you can post your questions to our new web board http://smithers.acm.uiuc.edu/3dosx/webboard/ i've already created a thread
