That was true in the past but with the Unix core in OS X now, you may not get as much performance down the road (but a 4 year old computer never does)but the apps will still run and the developers still get to develop in an open environment so I don't think they'll get screwed, just my opinion.
Just a question, Penguin or Platapus if the processor is great how much difference is there (seriously I wanna know, before I was running OS X I was running a SuSE (power PC) box and a RedHat Box (pc) and now I gave them both up for OS X but can do everything I did on the others)
Why Bother??? Because even if it is only 5-10 years that gives us 5 -10 years for my children to live and possibly come up with a way to reverse the damage done by over consumption and the Oil companies lack of caring about the future. There are plenty of other reasons to bother but I feel the main one is because we created (with the help of our parents) this mess and just sitting idly by is just plain lazy and stupid. Complacency isn't an excuse it is a cop out. Sorry I know I am going on a rant but my god people wake up and smell the CO2, do something about it, ride the bus, take a bike every little bit helps!
And I thought my Titanium rocked now. If IBM can picck up the slack that Motorola has created maybe everyone in the wintel world would wake up and see the power of OSX and with the 64bit chip..... Wow!!! IBM and Apple used to make a great team and I hope Motorola goes bankrupt for the way they have dicked around in upgrading the G4 processor. IBM you rock!
I fly every week and when it first happened the lines at SFO were insane, now I just find that the flights are less frequent but the lines are much quicker now that SFO has become more efficient with the searches. I don't think that the skies are much safer but then again I don't think that the terrorist are going to try that again, they would try something different. I also have been affected because as a pacifist I am ostrisized even more so that pre 9/11 and am scared sh!tless how many people just sit buy and watch thier freedoms taken away, daily on slashdot if you post anything even slightly anti war or anti bush you are sure to be told you are stupid when in fact I just don't see a purpose in letting the terrorist win and letting Ashcroft take away my freedoms.
You are right it is worse when they say so, and I think the biggest thing that has changed since September 11 for me is the fact is now MORE people are willing to give up thier freedoms for security that isn't really there. I fly every week and I don't mind the extra searches and SFO is actually getting speedy, what I do mind is the fact that I feel it necessary to double think everything I email or post online because I KNOW that it is more scrutinized than before. And people just go along with Ashcroft in his quest for justice by denying US citizen rights they are given by our constitution, and if I am not mistaken terrorist don't like Americans because of thier freedoms, like freedom to follow whatever religion you want with out being targeted for it like a lot of Islamic groups are now being watched for, like the freedom to say what you like about the government without fear of retaliation, if we are not careful the terrorist will win by default if they take away our freedoms. If you want to fight terrorism, excersize your freedom of speech and tell Ashcroft to back off!
On the Mac side there is a great app called now up to date and now contact developed by Power On Software that might be the PIM you are looking for on the mac. Hope that helps.
I haven't logged into 9 in over a year, I think the only thing from making me take it off all my designers computers if *&*%$# Quark Dragging its feet again, once that happens no more OS 9 for any of my poeple. OS 9 while you will always hold a soft spot in my heart OS X KICKS @$$!!!
Well for one I don't hate myself or my country, I actually appreciate that I can actually question my government and not get thrown in jail. What I am saying is that we also need to realize that we are not alone in this global community and need to start thinking of others and thier needs thats why we havce things like the UN. I DO HATE the idea of invading a country just becaused it suits some dumbass republicans need to fix daddy's error and a lot of the European nations seem to agree with me but here in the US we don't always get the other side of the story. As for the previous poster that said we should listen, while being an ass doing it he is right the US as a nation does need to start to listen more.
While I agree with you about the fact that Europe has comparable amout of NAT users as us, the fact that people out there don't know how to set up NAT is a little misleading, I know of 4 people that set up Airport Basestations, with little to no computer knowledge, and enabled NAT because they saw it say share internet connection instead of NAT, so I think there are a TON of wifi people out there who use NAT without even knowing it. As far as it skewing, I think it could because I alone have 5 CPU at home that would only count as one, and at my company we have 40 cpu set up through one NAT, so just needed to add my fuel to the fire.
Like possibly that we are not the only nation on earth! It'd be great to see the internet become more global and make our (US) sites be more european leaning and actually get some points of view from both sides, not just the propaganda we hear now about things, such as Iraq. Our constitution gives us freedom of speech, lets see what good we can do in the world if we actually used it instead of following like sheep!
Well Mac OS X is a version of BSD so I would assume that all thier work to get it to run on a mac will make it a lot easier to port to BSD than from starting from scratch so lets hope so. Now that Mac is BSD based I would think this would lend itself to more titles that get ported over to the mac to be ported to other *nix types, not guaranteed but I hope more likely. I was actually in Fry's this weekend and blown away by how many Mac OS X games there are out there, the problem for the first gen ones were they were mostly carbon ports but as more are more Cocoa ports I think we will see more *nix commercial games, or this could all be wishful thinking.
While BBEdit is my edito of choice, it is very sad to see Pepper go, I used it before bbedit came out for OS X and it was great. Very full featured and well devloped. It was stable even under Public Beta. I hope Maarten rethinks this decision in the future and starts development on it again, but until then, thanks Maarten!
Just like you have to pay to be certified for certain OSes this could work well by infusing some cash and let those certified demand an extra $25 an hour, everyone benefits.
But another thing about price is Corps have to have certain number of expenditures each year if you are big. We have a client who spends near $500,000 a year for us to do stuff that they could pay any web monkey to do for $70,000 but they need to have a certain amout of dollars going out so why complain right?
Another reason why bidding low is bad is experience, even though any guy could come along and learn the DB stuff that I do, I have been doing it for a number of years so I recognize the VALUE of my work so I charge more, a less experienced person would charge less because they haven't been doing it as long so I would get the job. Its not fair, but it is true. Also some corps have to request a certain amount of money each quarter for projects so that division needs to spend all of it that quarter so they can get the same amount next quarter, if they come in short then the pencil pushers will say they didn't need all of thier money last quarter so why should we give it to you this quarter. Hope all that makes sense.
In oregon we have been voting by mail for about 5 years now and it is going just fine, what kind of fraud problems did Dallas have if you remember. I personally have thought of a way to create a usb identity key for voting like your voter registration cards, not for online voting way too many security holes, but for a more accurate electronic voting solution. As for the original poster, get off your lazy ass and take part in society or don't complain and just stay laying there while you get screwed by the system. I mean c'mon people if we are this lazy we deserve what we get, we need to be more active and stop this shitty legislation that is quickly taking away our rights. We all complain about the different privacy laws that get passed, well guess what people if you are too lazy to vote more of it will be coming, hell why don't some of you run for local office and try to change things for the better instead of just complaining.
The other thing is they use the great SSL encryption with Windows. I feel my vote will be safe and accurate
So really, why did they go with windows??? Even ATM's don't use windows... Also I have a question, are the computers networked or do they hold all the votes then you have to get them from the computer?
That is what scares the crap out of these big telco's. We the people own the right of way I believe and if we had enough forward thinking and politically active geeks out there this would be great to help out low income developments to increase thier education possibilites and quick reflexes (from too much gaming)
Oh forgot about the Goth Market, how cool and depressing would it be to get your sister who committed suicide to be made into a diamond ring you can wear and always get truly depressed!
My wife for one, we both think that being buried is a big waste and ashes would just be thrown away anyways, so why not cremate me to be used as a beautiful diamond pendant she can alsways wear to remember the good times we had, the question is should I fatten myself up before I am about to die to make a bigger diamond?
A national ID card isn't bad, its the data they want to associate with it, but then do I need a national id card and a state drivers license??? I had no ID before i had my DL, do we require everyone over the age of 12 to get a national ID card??? Alot of issues come up, plus its just one more peg of making us more centralized and less free for the states to make laws and placing our fates in a bunch of politicians who don't give a shit about us.

I would love to get more power out of my laptop battery!!! Sign me up IBM!
