It would be kinda cool for your windows machine to turn red when you get a virus or have the computer go blue when you get new email though.Yes, it'd be nice to be able to change the color. With your description the Windows computer would always be red.
Kerry has always come out against offshoring in every speech I've heard or read. The opening paragraph of the link that supposedly reveals that he supports it only confirms that he is not pro-offshoring -- only that some of his supporters are.
High-tech heavyweight Marc Andreessen, an outspoken supporter of "offshoring" work to low-wage countries, said Wednesday he has decided to support Sen. John Kerry's presidential bid despite the candidate's condemnation of "Benedict Arnold CEOs" who move job overseas.
As I understand it, the FSF is against software copyrights which is the reason the GPL was created. At any rate, just because an organization files for a patent, doesn't mean they have to enforce it. But, these patents would be useful negotiating tools when someone else tried to enforce a patent against the organization.
That's a good feature, but it doesn't solve the problem that was brought up at the top of this thread which is that no one is accountable for the article.
That way if you're doing research intended for eventual publication, you'd use the most recent release of the encyclopdia since each article would have content vetted by its author/owner.
The URL in the citation would point to that release of the article which would remain fixed over time. Jimmy mentioned in one of his answers that he plans to acheive a "stable 1.0" version in the future. Each release should always be available along with the "normal" view of the encyclopedia which would always be instantaneous. URLs would look like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/Albert_Einstein where the 1 would refer to the first fixed release of the encyclopedia.
I think one possible way around this is to have an author/owner for each article. Any updates/insertions for that article would have to be vetted by the author.
Perhaps this should only apply to the periodic stable releases of the encyclopedia that Jimmy mentioned in one of his replies. That way if you're doing research intended for eventual publication, you'd use the most recent release of the encyclopdia since each article would have content vetted by its author/owner.
U.K.-based BTG Plc has sued Microsoft Corp. and Apple Computer Inc. for allegedly infringing a patent that covers Web-enabled software update technologies, the company announced Wednesday.
The strange thing is that Apple's Software Update isn't Web-enabled.
RSS readers and aggregators shouldn't gather new feeds every hour on the hour. They should gather them when the application is first run and then every hour after that (probably not on the hour). I'd hope most GUI applications already run this way. I guess most of this traffic just comes from daemon processes -- and that should be changed.
Yeah, I have a dual 2Ghz PowerMac and I am thinking about buying the 20" Cinema Display -- which is why I want to know how Doom 3 will handle a wide screen.
You're absolutely wrong about Core Image. It's not just there for eye candy effects. It will greatly increase performance. Read this page.
Until now, harnessing the power of the GPU required in-depth knowledge of pixel-level programming. Core Image allows developers to easily leverage the GPU for blistering-fast image processing that can eliminate rendering time delays. Effects and transitions can be expressed with a few lines of code. Core Image handles the rest, optimizing the path to the GPU. The result is real-time, interactive responsiveness as you select and apply filters.
Core Video provides a modern foundation for video services in Mac OS X Tiger. It provides a bridge between QuickTime and the GPU for hardware-accelerated video processing. This highly-optimized pipeline for video presentation increases performance and reduces CPU load, freeing up resources for other operations.
And Core Video allows developers to apply all the benefits of Core Image to video -- blazingly-fast performance of filters and effects, per-pixel accuracy and hardware scalability.
They're making more use of the GPU with Core Image and Core Video. That'll account for a large jump in performance just as Quzrtz Extreme did in Jaguar.

You have to adjust your antenna in order to pick up different stations. How did your Tivo handle that?
Geeks without cable or satellite TV probably shouldn't buy one. That's why I haven't. It's not too useful for OTA transmissions.
Maybe they should try using PostgreSQL. Maybe even PowerPC instead of AMD. :)
I'll be happy when people quit talking about MAC users.

For the FSF and Open Source Software organizations to begin filing patents for any applicable technology. You can't fight this by not holding any.

I don't know. How do they do it?

It's supposed to sound like AppleTalk since ZeroConf / Rendezvous / OpenTalk is inspired by AppleTalk.

I'd be interested in knowing their stance on spam, since they used to spam the hell out of my inbox.
Think of all the crashes!

Quake 3 for the Macintosh supports SMP.
And will it have support for dual CPUs?
And what will it look like on a widescreen Cinema Display?
When is the Mac OS X version being released?
When you're dealing with images and video, I guess anything could be considered eye candy.
