The MacOSX build is great, there is one strange thing however. I have a nightly from the 8th that displays msnbc.com just fine, however nothing before or after that nightly will display it correctly.
Additionally the startup speed still lags by about 5 to 10 seconds behind IE 5.1 on MacOSX. This is largely a non-issue since I usually start it up once during the day and it runs all day long.
Now if only I could get a version without all the crap. I just want a browser, not a PIM and mail client.
One more way to take jobs away from people. Just imagine all the people who would lose their jobs in urban areas. Not just taxi drivers but limo drivers as well.
Why do we create machines to take the jobs of people? I don't see the benefit of this.
How about we give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume he knows what he's doing
How about not? I'm a scientist and therefore a skeptic. If I gave every crack pot the benefit of the doubt we'ld all be flying through space in cold fusion propelled star ships saying "I Captian, I'm givin her all I got".
The majority of their costs are made up via concerts which is why you get raped again for 100$ just to see a band play some songs you already bought for 20$
I never understood why most DVD's are the same price as CD's now. I can get BASEketball from Fry's for 14 buck, but it costs me 17 bucks to get the new Rob Zombie CD that only has 11 songs on it.
Lets look at the specs.
BASEketball DVD
1) 2 hours long
2) High quality video AND audio
3) Sturdy case with brief guide to chapters etc..
4) Movies cost a hell of a lot more to make than albums
Now Rob Zombie CD
1) 60 minutes long not counting the 5 minute pause between House of 1000 Corpses and the hidden song after it
2) Very breakable case that came from amazon pre-cracked for me.
3) High quality audio NO video
4) Took Rob Zombie all of a few weeks to record in a studio
Just why do CD's cost so much anyway? I can't see any logic in it at all.
I have a DVD player and a reciever thats my dolby digital solution with movies. Thanks to the DVD playing CD's I don't need a CD player which saves me around 300 to 400$. If I can't put it in my DVD player then fuck it, it wont get bought or played.
The only "CD" player I own is in my truck, other than that it's my Mac's DVD drive playing my tunes or my home DVD player.
I'm a musician, have been for 14 years. I have zero respect for the music coming out today, very little of it is professional at all.
What happened to the Bob Dylans, the Tom Pettys, the Beattles of the world? Bands in those days stood for something, wrote real music and were deserving of the praise they got.
The music industry has sold out like the professional sports industry, paying higher and higher dollar figures to this weeks glam and pop queens/kings.
I have no interest at all in any music I heard on the radio on my way into work this morning. Not one song stood out as something I would buy let alone collect like I would with some old Doors records or some Credence Clear Water Revival.
The industry is in dire need of a revolution. Like when the Beattles broke out on to the scene, they literally exploded. They started a whole new trend, rocked the foundation of our society. Same applies with the Doors, Led Zepplin, The Who.
I want someone to strike a cord in me like Bruce Springstien. I want to hear someone who can communicate with me on an intellectual level like Paul Simon.
Hell, Poison and Motley Crue had more style and talent than the bands that are out today. Everyone on the rock side wants to be Limp Bizkit, everyone in rap wants to be Puff Daddy and everone in pop wants to be Britney or NSYNC.
I'm disgusted with music today. I'm sick of it and I'm not going to take it anymore.
I'm a parent of a 4 year old girl who is in love with the Power Puff Girls. This is a violent show depicting little girls with very bad attitudes beating up monsters. I let her watch this for a very simple reason.
I don't want my kid to be a fucking cream puff. The world is a tough place filled with "monsters" who crash planes into buildings, molest little kids and shoot each other in the streets. The more we shelter our children from the realities of this world the less in touch they will be with it when they need that focus the most.
Look at all of these people protesting our action in Afghanistan. These were sheltered brats raised by baby booming ex-drug addicts who believed in turning the other cheek even if it meant the lives of thousands of people.
Look at our grand parents! These folks weren't sheltered from the ugliness of the world and because of that they kicked hitlers ass and almost no one protested the fact.
I'm sorry but I talk to my kid about the bad people in the world. I tell her it's ok to stand up for what you believe in and fight for what's right. I'm proud that my daughter has a deep understanding of what's wrogn with the world and certain people in it. She's only 4 but she can pick out who the bad guy in a movie is in a heart beat and knows why (s)he is bad.
She loves her Barbie computer games, she isn't brainwashed by violence on TV because like a good father I watch what she does and talk about it with her. That's more than my parents did for me.
This website seems to think anyone that watches TV will end up like Jim Carey in "The Cable Guy". Perhaps some people do, but it's not the TV's fault. My bet is they have a deeper phsycological problem that would manifest in any number of other ways had TV not been there.
I grew up watching the A team, Magnum PI and all the other great shows of the 80's. I had my run in with problems growing up, but they were my problems not subliminal messages sent to me by the big bad TV stations.
Let's all try to take some responsibility for our own actions shall we?
I'm horrified

This is yet another way for people to remove themselves from nature. Just another reason for people to get fat and lazy and ride a scooter around the shopping mall instead of use the tools god gave them that just so happen to be attached to their legs.
It's trendy, gauranteed to be over priced and basically useless. It steers itself, yeah great ok. Steering was so hard, it's about time someone put an end to all this steering nonsense. I mean actually having to turn the handle bars, god forbid. This is the greatest invention since power steering.
Gimme a break. How long before the sillicon valley yuppie is spotted at Yosemite park in their BMW SUV with a Ginger strapped to the back so they can ride through the park at 12 miles an hour to digest the sites faster so they can talk on their cell phones at the next stop and plug more data into their PDA before they shuffle off to their mobile office (BMW SUV) and cellular fax machine.
I'm sick to death of this crap. To all lazy people, get a mountain bike!!! Go hiking!! Do something with those patheticlly weak limbs attached to your flabby body.
FS corruption is FS corruption, you can't justify it at all, especially since this is supposed to be a stable kernel. It can't be all that obscure if it's changed enough since the last revision to do damage now could it?
In your face! I sat here and read all the flames to apple about the iTunes screw up, and here we are with one just as big and glaring from the kernel developers themselves.
I don't know what you think is easy about it. I spent time in a youth detention center and now as an adult every body I know that spends time in jail for DUI or otherwise tells me they would rather be in an adult prison than a youth detention center. In jail you get a TV, a matress some luxuries. In a youth center you get a thin matress resting on a concrete slab and that's it. No bathroom in your cell, no TV nothing.
Also consider he will be surrounded by criminals who will likely kick the shit out of him regularly for being a "geek".
There is nothing easy about this. Adults have rights, youths do not as a matter of law. It's a kangaroo court system. They sentenced him to 8 months but that could eaily turn into 8 years as he is likely to make fuck ups in there and will have to defend himself against the others which will make his time harder and longer.
I feel sorry for him. Most people who go to a youth detention center often times become criminals as adults.
I don;t know the details, he may very well deserve this, but I honestly from a first hand perspective don't think anyone deserves what the youth detention centers dish out.
"
5. There is no growth path. None of the Internet appliance manufacturers have offered hard drives, word processing, spreadhsheet software, etc. for users that want to move beyond e-mail and the web. This makes many computer-savvy people hesitant to recommend these devices to family and friends."
I do believe this is the very point of.NET. Making the application downloadable over the web using common API's via Microsofts products and using a broadband connection you can safely not care what machine you are using.
Appliances may have their time when.NET comes out and they can actually have applications on them, but until then they are as usless as pet rocks.
Reminds me of Linux zealots:
"Windows? I thought you actually wantesd to USE the computer"
Really though, some people get way out of hand with it. I mean you have to weigh the $ to quality ratio. Just because a Porsche drives better than a jetta doesn't mean you "have" to buy the Porsche. Just because Intel released a 1.5ghz processor doesn't mean you "have" to buy it. Just because....... you get the picture. A lot of money gets blown for these systems, while maybe they sound good I've learned through personal experience that good sound is a relative concept. I personally like a little harder hitting bass (since I'm a bassist) while my roommate likes a lot of twang (his into country). Saying one system is better than another is ridiculous, and certainly calling one shit is out of control and borderline insane. No system costing 5k is going to "sound like shit". Sorry just wont happen unless you get the positive and negatives crossed.

This is mildly cool, but honestly it's done all the time by companies like TwinLab who sell them to body builders in little glass jars.
Why bother growing them in space when you can bring them with you? Sounds like NASA is taking the long way around.
Its promising but still very early beta. I don't even really think it's in beta, more like pre-alpha.
:)
I also have issues with using a browser thats named after a virus in mission impossible 2

All this guy did was copy the readme and install docs. BTW why does he list the need for 2 IP addresses as a requirement? Thats ridiculous.
Crap documentation like this is what gives UNIX a bad name in the mainstream.

I didn't think so when I was a teenager, as a result, I am now blind!
How about not? I'm a scientist and therefore a skeptic. If I gave every crack pot the benefit of the doubt we'ld all be flying through space in cold fusion propelled star ships saying "I Captian, I'm givin her all I got".
I find that hard to believe, but if so I just have one question:
How much did he document? I seriously doubt it's well documented, especially considering a) it's open source and b) it's one guy doing it.
There is nothing worse than undocumented source.
