Doing graphical stuff with a plugin that Apple won't let access hardware acceleration that would make a lot of what it's doing trivial uses large amount of CPU. Special report to come.
Flash on OS X has been able to use hardware H.264 decoding since March.
They don't like apple taking their stuff without following their rules.
Apple didn't "take" anything -- another Developer submitted the ports to the app store in good faith. This is nothing more than a intra-developer pissing match until Apple ignores the request to remove VLC.
Also he was an absolute fool for flying in a very fragile ship when another group had declared war on him (thus was able to be attacked even in the main trading hub system without interference).

You don't go to Jita in a T1 cyno frig with 22 Billion ISK in the hold, regardless if you're at war or not. Someone will gank you for that.
I work for a prepress company whose major client is known for putting athletes on orange-colored cereal boxes. Lindsey Vonn is almost certain to appear on one of these boxes as well several other American medalists. Basically our understanding of the rule is that the athletes are free to sign agreements independent of their status as Olympic athletes but they cannot, under any circumstances, appear in marketing deals as an Olympic athlete without the IOC being party to the agreement.
Orange-colored cereal box distributor has been doing this for years without incident.
Adobe apps are notorious for this. "Adobe foo has crashed because an unexpected error has occurred" is quite common, leading to my favorite error of all time, "An unexpected error has occurred because an error has occurred"
This is already done with flexo printing where you're working with ink coverage limitations and a stock and printing process that are prone to dot gain. Sometimes it's better to keep a.5pt solid holding rule and fill with a 98% screen with the understanding that 98% is going to gain up to 100%.
That said, ink cost on a press run is an almost negligible part of the equation. It's really not a cost savings on even a large press run.
Presidents, President Elects and other high profile people are going to draw a far greater number of wackos than a private citizen vainly clinging to their fifteen minutes of fame. Obama's personal phone number and past calling patterns might well put him at risk and could very well put family, friends and associates at risk -- you might not be able to get at Obama directly, but how about a family member without a protective detail?
And I really doubt that McCain didn't even get Samuel Joe Wurzelburger a courtesy call before turning him into a party platitude. Regardless, he certainly didn't shy away from the spotlight: junior stump man, book deal and record deal. He's certainly embraced the role of public persona but, just like every other person, does not deserve to have his privacy violated. But doesn't change the fact that Wurzelburger's notoriety is several degrees from Obama and is much less of a "target" for the crazies.
For the parent poster to claim the reaction to this story is because people don't want to criticize Obama is beyond the pale. For me this story would carry just as much weight if McCain's phone rec were ords compromised or Bush's post-presidency records were compromised (presumably Bush and now Obama lose their personal line privileges due to public record laws.)
Do you think that the President Elect of the United States might have greater personal security concerns than McCain's version of a working class hero? This isn't a matter of "being critical of the president".
Nope -- we even strip down the art to optimize it for an ad spot.
Another one to watch for is cereal commercials -- the inside of the box is white instead of grey/brown of kraft paper.
Those are prop bags filled with product, not real bags taken off the shelf. I work for a prepress company which specializes in food packaging and we make hundreds of props for ad spots per year. Every bag, carton, etc. we do is a true one-off, tailored for a specific spot and assembled by hand.
Those bags aren't even on the same substrate or printed using the same process as a real bag. It's all custom.
They placed an artificial stipulation that only systems with Bluetooth could install this beast. This way it would force those holdouts with their modified and improved G3s to buy (guess what) another Mac if they wanted to upgrade.
I think you're confused. Tiger listed FireWire, not Bluetooh, as a system requirement. This was mainly to function as a shorthand for 'modern PPC Mac', eliminating the first generation of G3s (beige case). Tiger installs quite happily (albeit not snappily) on G3s, machines without bluetooth, etc.
And if you want to see a *real* example of inconsistent user interface on OS X, click the white pill on a Finder window and use it for a while. Notice how the Finder suddenly doesn't behave anything like the way it used to when you have the menu bar hidden?
You're switching the Finder over to "spacial" mode -- it behaves more like the Mac OS 9 Finder in that mode.
Fine. Not In [Your] Back Yard. But how about on your roof? It's unused space and the energy benefits would be twfold (electricity generation and reduced cooling demands)
I'd hardly call the list comprehensive --- it seems to only list the companies which the airports have contracted to provide wireless. There's a lot it doesn't list. Another poster already mentioned T-Mobile near Starbucks but the list doesn't mention, for example, that most of Terminal 1 at ORD is blanketed by T-Mobile coverage thanks to their partnership with United's Red Carpet Club. Or that in many airports it's possible to get a free wifi signal from Continental's lounges.
Did BeOS index the file contents? It's been about seven years since I last used Be, but I still have a couple BeOS shirts. (And if you really want to get technical, Apple had a precursor to Spotlight back in 1997 with its V-Twin text indexing engine.)
If you're flying in coach, you're not going to be able to open the screen fully let alone fit it within the confines of your personal space. Actually I wonder if seatback tray tables can hold 17lbs without buckling.

You can insure ships and can issue courier contracts with collateral, but you can't directly insure a cargo through regular game mechanics.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted... definite upgrade (though apparently, you still can't get to the HDD to replace it)
Take a look at this bottom shot. It looks like you should be able to remove the five torx screws to gain further access to the rest of the internals.

Is there such thing as an expected error?

If I become the Lord of this castle, will Simon Belmont come and whack me with that nasty whip thingie he is carrying around? No. That's extra.

Personally I want my iPod powered by engine bleed. Integrated armrest micro-turbines.
I fly United. I know not of these charges for headphones.
I don't think it's to eject directly out of the capsule. Rather it's to quickly egress off the tower if all hell breaks loose.

A Bluetooth mouse makes a lot of sense when your laptop has Bluetooth built-in: No external receiver to lug around.

That's not what it refers to.
