    from apple.com:

    In a nutshell, you can play your music on up to three computers, enjoy unlimited synching with your iPods, burn unlimited CDs of individual songs, and burn unchanged playlists up to 10 times each.

    You can "authorize" and "de-authorize" individual computers. As for re-purchasing songs, just make a backup on a CD, and you won't have anything to worry about.

  8. Wish I could run 10.2.4... on Revealing Hidden PDF Services in Mac OS X 10.2.4 · · Score: 1

    I had to revert to 10.2.3 on account of the modem bug. :( Unfortunate, because that was my only problem with the update. Apple is reportedly fixing this in 10.2.5. Anyway, This is a cool feature and I will definitely use when Apple fixes 10.2.4's modem bug.

  9. Re:Chimera Cons on Macworld Holds Battle of the Browsers · · Score: 1

    At the end of the article, Macworld says as much: "Although Mozilla is still too similar to its Netscape cousin in performance, Navigator's speed and rendering fidelity make it the OS X browser to watch."

    doesn't this happen like every month?

    We break a new GHz barrier every month? I don't think so...of course, I'd be happy if Motorola broke 2GHz.

  11. Anti-Abortion?!?!? on Google Complies with Law, Excludes 'controversial' Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful
    How the heck did that get lumped together in the same group with pro-Nazi, white supremacist and anti-semitic sites?!?!?
    Pro-Nazism, white supremacy and anti-Semitism are all hate-driven egocentric nationalistic racial biases. How the heck does the Pro-Life movement fit in with these groups?

  12. Re:good idea and on Phoenix 0.3 Is Out · · Score: 1

    TheAJofOZ took care of most everything, but I wanted to throw my vote in with Chimera. It is my primary browser, has been ever since 0.5.

    A wishlist for the future: Password organization, a better download manager, and Mozilla's 1.1 improvements (they are using the Mozilla 1.0 tree until Chimera 1.0 is out, so this could take awhile).
