  1. Re:Appletalk on Recommend Apple, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    .... you can connect to any Samba share straight out of the box. I've got several shares mounted right now; no add-on software, strictly vanilla Mac OS X 10.2.x

  2. Re:The software on Newest iPod vs. the Nomad Zen NX? · · Score: 1

    The buttons and knob you refer to are all touch sensitive pads (just like a trackpad).

  3. Re:SGI Problems on SGI Releases New Workstations · · Score: 1

    It's a little more obvious than that --- it's a cut-and-paste Mac troll with all references to the Power Mac 8600/300 replaced with SGI. He missed the reference to BBEdit Lite, the cut-down free version of a great Mac text editor.

  4. Re:Every New G4 Ships with OS 9? on Panther Analysis Getting Underway · · Score: 1

    They default to Mac OS X but still have OS 9 for compatibility

  5. Re:For what? on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 4, Informative
    Well, these are a start: When you're throwing around cinematic quality film clips, the more power the better.
  6. Re:If they want to get our attention.... on PPC 970 Powerbooks and Powermacs in Production? · · Score: 1

    More likely that Avid is abandoning the Mac because Apple is directly competing with them.

  7. Re:Something interesting I noticed (slight spoiler on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    My girlfrienda and I caught it as wel -- it's there. There were also clips from "Feeling Minnesota" and "My Own Private Idaho"

  8. Re:License badness on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    Nonsense ---- the file is stored locally. "losing" the file is just like losing a CD.

  9. Re:I'll bite (actually I *did* bite) on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    Try changing the extension on the downloaded file to "m4a" --- it seems to clear the "protected" icon. I wonder if it clears the drm as well.

  10. Re:What should be improved to beat others on Mac OS X 'Panther': User at the Center · · Score: 1

    But your documents are only a couple levels deep --- from your home directory

  12. Re:Hey, isn't' the Trash Icon a photograph? on Another Garbage Patent · · Score: 1

    It's not a photograph --- it's an illustration, a rendering.

  13. Re:Loophole? on Another Garbage Patent · · Score: 1

    Not it just means you can reproduce the art in conjunction with reproduction of the patent.

  14. Re:I don't want an iBook....but I can touch an iBo on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 1

    You really should have talked to somone in the store --- Apple probably doesn't keep dev tools installed on floor models, but I'm sure someone at the Genius bar would have been willing to install it quick.

  15. Re:Because obviously. . . on PATRIOT II Legislation Leaked · · Score: 1

    And you just reminded me that, if he were alive now, Thoreau would be branded a radical leftist and marginalized by the media and government.

  16. Re:I heard it on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 1

    Actually I think he was imply Palestinian on Israeli terrorism.

    The entire terrorism angle makes no sense to me: A terrorist looks for maximum spectacle. What's better? To blow up the shuttle when it's 100+ miles up or to blow it up on the launching pad when there's 1) an audience 2) easier access 3) lots of terribly volatile fuel on board?

  17. Re:Amazing on iLife Apps Available for Download · · Score: 1

    But oddly you can pay $300 for a "better" product on the Mac.

  18. Re:How did they track him? A honeypot? on Verizon Loses Suit Over Subpoena of Subscriber Info · · Score: 1

    The RIAA isn't an explicit government agent; as such, entrapment is impossibly by definition.

  19. Re:Hmmm on Verizon Loses Suit Over Subpoena of Subscriber Info · · Score: 1

    Made me snort a bit --- I'm sure the RIAA would be terribly happy that their lawyers are discussing ongoing legal strategy with random strangers. Nah... no breach of conifdentiality there.

  20. Re:no cocoa == no use on Chimera Developer Considers Dropping It · · Score: 1

    Safari is cocoa ---- and your point was...?

  21. Re:Outside of radio markets on Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks · · Score: 1
    Errr... sitting in the middle of nowhere in North Dakota at the moment and I can get:
    • At least two Public Radio stations (FM)
    • At least four local/regional FM stations
    • A slew of local/regional AM stations
    • A few AM stations from Denver, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Omaha, Edmonton, Winnipeg, etc.

    Look look! Shiney thing, shiney thing!

  23. Re:Difference on New NASA Shuttle Program "Doomed To Failure" · · Score: 1

    Assuming what you say is true, there is a non-insignificant chance that such a beast exists already. Take a look at past black projects history (from the U2 on through the B2).

  24. Re:declining profits on Apple Reports Q1 Loss · · Score: 1

    That's terribly odd as I've recently made two minor purchases in two separate Apple Stores (Edina, MN -Southdale and Bloomington, MN - Mall of America); each time I stood in line behind people who were making major purchases (new iBook, iMac 17, iPods, &c.) The sales staff and Geniuses at each store were busy talking with customers, ringing sales and retrieving product from the back stock room for purchasing customers.

    Another poster has already directed you to the numbers from Apple's retail presence. Before dismissing Apple in favor Gateway's retail "success", perhaps you need to do a bit of research.

  25. Re:Buy a shredder on Going Through the Garbage · · Score: 1

    Why not shred in the occupant mail that's on uncoated stock? You're effectively increasing the singal to noise ratio for anyone that wants to go through the effort of poking through your compost heap for a credit card numbers, &c.
