Some of the animations which are deemed to reduce responsiveness to some users also gives increased perception of what is actually happening to most users. When a sheet slides out instead of just magically appearing the user can see where it came from. When a window spawns by expanding from the icon that was used to launch it, the user can see that their action had a clear result.
I think that most people that use Macs start their applications once per login and never quit them. I know that that is how I typically operate. I only quit applications that are used very infrequently like iPhoto.
Doesn't most unixes extensive use of cache really eliminate the benefits of that approach? I know Mac OS X will use almost all of however much physical RAM it's given.
Yes, but a 10,000 RPM SATA drive is so expensive! A 73.4GB Western Digital "Raptor" 10,000 RPM is the same price as a 250GB Maxtor MaXLine Plus II 7200 RPM.
Maybe 10,000 RPM model would make a good boot drive with all of the home folders on the 250GB 7200 RPM drive. Then again, most file access would probably be from the slower drive. Eh.
The Stanza also had the same engine as my 240SX. Now all Nissans (except the Sentra and Titan) have the same engine as the 350Z just with different tuning (not all in software).
I seem to recall these things called "farms." The people who runs these things, lets call them "farmers", used to grow things like corn on their land. Then, the farmers would sell their corn to people who would then eat the corn. In order to keep prices high, the government asked the farmers to destroy some of their crops. It seems to me that the doomed crops could instead be re-directed towards biodiesel.
The man added a tailpipe to his charcoal grill so he can blow air into the coals from a modified hair dryer and increase the overall temperature. That's a hardware hack if I've ever seen one.
You're right. That is a hardware hack. But it isn't a culinary hack.
"Everything in food is science," Brown says. "The only subjective part is when you eat it."
Of course science is involved in cooking. I don't think anyone has argued against that in the last century. Certainly not modern cooking periodicals like Cook's Illustrated.
He's wrong, though. Most of cooking is art. Many of the techniques are scientific. However, ingredient selection and presentation are artistic.
Well, on iTunes, Sunny 16 and Speed Graphic are both (p) EPIC. So, they're still getting a cut of the sales. Which is sad. His Eddie Walker single (a great song) is (p) Apple Computer, so I assume the $0.99 is split between Ben and Apple alone.
I think I'll buy the EPs from Attacked By Plastic. I don't think EPIC (Sony) gets a cut if you buy it from there.
People need to use iMixes to help each other find the good music from independent musicians. I didn't know the Ben Folds EPs on iTunes weren't backed by the RIAA in some way, but now that I do (if I can confirm it), I'll buy them all. Look at the iMix on that page and maybe you'll find something you like.
Everytime you plunk your change down for iTunes, CDs, DVDs, whatever, remember that a portion of that goes not only to supporting multimedia conglomerates that control everything it also goes to supporting DRM, lawsuits against others, and lavish parties where people enjoy laughing at you for buying their shitty music.
To trade away the Toy Story/Nemo/Monsters franchise in order to bet that Pixar will continue to make hit movies is a bad bet. Nobody stays on top forever in this business.
They didn't trade those away. Disney already had them. How many times is this misconception going to be posted?
Slashdot Mirror
It also doesn't say 'OK' or 'Cancel.' Like most good Mac dialogs, it uses action verbs. In this case the options are 'Open' or 'Cancel.'
Actually, as described by Plato, Atlantis could be located anywhere including Utah. It's surrounded by concentric rings of water.
That's been happening since January. I finally broke down and bought mine.
PowerMac?

Most of that is handed off to the GPU via Quartz Extreme.
HFS Plus already does that for me.

Please. If the iPod were to support video out, it'd use MPEG4 and no one would bother encoding to Divx anymore.
The iPod works well while mountain biking. I definitely don't baby mine. It's also been dropped off of my desk at work a few times.
Maybe he meant 350,000 60GB drives.
Why do you use LAME when Apple's AAC recently beat it out in a blind test?
Damn, what is all of this metal encasing my iPod? You mean Apple didn't put that there?
The iPod supports Apple Lossless. It sports somewhere around a 2:1 compression ratio.
Neither does an iPod. They're built like tanks. My iPod has loads of superficial scuffs. I don't baby it.

I wish Ben were reading this thread...
Well, I guess you should just make sure the playlists you publish as iMixes are clean then. :)
