Typical comment on problem: "I don't understand why there's still no fix for this. This adapter isn't exactly cheap either. I'm using an Imac 2.93 Ghz with the crapdapter to a 3007wfp Dell 30" LCD and am experiencing the exact problems as everybody else."
My previous generation MacBook Pro worked fine out-of-the-box with my 30" monitor at its native resolution. The new one didn't, I had to spend $100 to get one that "would" (after being sold the wrong adapter by a Mac store genius) and it's STILL screwing up my display periodically.
Thanks for this story! It reminded me that that I have an original TA disc and just installed it on my Mac laptop via Bootcamp. Seems to run fine. Bye-bye productivity!
The most amusing people on Slashdot are the conceited, dysfunctional nerds who argue with statements they know are true and launch personal attacks for no reason other than to satisfy their own anti-social tendencies.
I agree. Have you ever worked in a large engineering organization? I mean companies that design/build bridges, refineries and that scale of project.
Its kind of a big deal when the U.S. military can't keep its data secure.
"Having the plans" is not enough. You have to have people able to interpret them and put them into action. Critical elements are often left out of engineering documentation and there's also always that stuff which was figured-out on the shop floor and never written down.
Slashdot's comments are frequently amusing, as armchair experts bolstered by 30 second's worth of Google search know everything. And are smug in their ignorance. They're probably the type that eventually gets into politics for all the wrong reasons.
When all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. But now we have pneumatic hammers with 100 round magazines and a plethora of frightened people willing to get their hands on them.
Keep in mind that this craziness is coming from a minority government. Can you imagine what these Nazis will do to us if they were to ever get a majority?
Yes, you are absolutely correct. The current Canadian government are all Nazis and they are out to get you and everyone that thinks like you.
Crimes could only be prosecuted with solid evidence. One of the points of that was to get rid of unpopular laws because if everyone broke them it would be too much of a hassle to prosecute them unless they were doing something really wrong.
Excellent point. Many laws (and accompanying severe-ish penalties) were created to discourage certain behaviours. Now that it seems that "criminals" can be more easily caught, it might be time to take another look at what is prohibited (and why) as well as the punishments that exist for these behaviours.
Perpetrators of violent crime must still be pursued ruthlessly and punished to the fullest extent of the law, however.
The emergence of a global economy affects the demand for all resources. In turn, use of these natural resources is occurring on a scale that may modify the terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric environments upon which human civilization depends. The use of and competition for natural resources on the global scale, and natural threats to those resources, has the potential to impact the Nation's ability to sustain its economy, national security, quality of life, and natural environment.
So why, in the Kyoto Accord, are China and India exempted from pollution controls? Are they excused because they are considered "developing economies" and can therefore pollute as much as they want while the western countries pay industrial sin taxes?
But one German tank could shoot down ten Russian ones.
But sophisticated tanks (that are prone to break-downs) and their crews were irreplaceable. A Tiger being hunted by 5 Shermans or T-34s was in big trouble. Who was it that said, "Quantity has a quality all it's own"?

Hold on, wasn't Ford the only US car company to NOT get bailout money?
OK then, let's replace the monkeys with animal rights activists then. Same screeching noises and poo-flinging but less guilt.
'Tis but a scratch.
Do you have any inside knowledge as to when Apple will fix the dual DVI mini display port "issue"?

F-yeah! TA and it's mods is what I remember. Why did Cavedog go bankrupt?

Don't bother explaining to the converted, they're already committed regardless of facts. It's the new religion.
But P&T's Bullshit is also a program that doubts Global Warming/Climate Change, so it must be ignored.

Sheesh.

Let the unraveling begin.

Hitler saw more value in bombing than in defending airspace
The "V" in the two weapons stood for "vengeance". I think Hitler knew he was doomed at that point and went for the terror option.
But one German tank could shoot down ten Russian ones.
But sophisticated tanks (that are prone to break-downs) and their crews were irreplaceable. A Tiger being hunted by 5 Shermans or T-34s was in big trouble. Who was it that said, "Quantity has a quality all it's own"?
No, he lost because he over extended himself into Russia.
Agreed. Things would have been much worse had that not happened. But then you have to wonder about the original non-aggression pact.
The Tesla site says, "Seats 7". Given the photos there, I don't see how.

Bingo! Annoying customer asshole complaints gone!
Cool. The actual author of an app shows up. I like that.
Have you applied for work at Gitmo?
Amen, brother. The ongoing "war on smokers" was/is a tolerance test and it's easy to implement. Freedom lost. Why?
Because it's easy to do especially with main stream media support.
I'm always amused by self-appointed slashdot experts when it comes to technology. "We can configure computers, therefore we know everything".
