Actually, the first "Cookie Monster" appearance was before this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_Monster):
"In 1966, Henson drew three monsters that ate cookies and appeared in a General Foods commercial that featured three crunchy snack foods: Wheels, Crowns and Flutes. Each snack was represented by a different monster. The Wheel-Stealer was a short, fuzzy monster with wonky eyes and sharply pointed teeth. The Flute-Snatcher was a speed demon with a long, sharp nose and windblown hair. The Crown-Grabber was a hulk of a monster with a Boris Karloff accent and teeth that resembled giant knitting needles.These monsters had big appetites for the snack foods (like cookies) they were named after. Each time the Muppet narrator, a human-looking fellow, fixes himself a tray of Wheels, Flutes and Crowns, they disappear before he can eat them. One by one, the monsters sneak in and zoom away with the snacks.
In 1967, Henson used the "Wheel-Stealer" puppet for an IBM training film called Coffee Break Machine. In the sketch, called "The Computer Dinner", the monster (with frightening eyes and fangs) devours a complex machine as the machine describes its purpose and construction. At the end of the sketch, the talking machine explains that its primary purpose is to produce the greatest explosion known to man. The monster promptly explodes. This sketch was also performed in October, 1967 on The Ed Sullivan Show. It was also later performed on the George Burns episode of The Muppet Show using the Luncheon Counter Monster.
Two years later, Henson pulled the puppet out of the box again for three commercials selling Munchos, a Frito-Lay potato chip. This time, the puppet was called Arnold, the Munching Monster. After the three ads were produced, Henson had the opportunity to renew the contract. He chose not to, because at that point he was working on Sesame Street — and that monster puppet was moving on to the next stage in his career."
In the traditional sense of the word, Atheism is an explicit position that either affirms the nonexistence of gods or rejects theism. Agnosticism is the view that the truth of certain claims â" particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of God, gods, deities is unknown or, inherently unknowable.
In all fairness, the same thing happens on my mac. I have the Moto SLVR phone with built in itunes, I keep it plugged into my computer to keep it charged, when the os sees this, it automaticly launches for syncing. Sometimes i dont reaize this, and i use fast user switching to log in my other account, set up for Final Cut Pro. I do find it anoying that I can't run 2 instances of itunes.
Copying a dvd to your computer into 1 file means you have no conversion it to do, because you would make an image of the dvd, something like that which means no degraded quality.
According to the dictionary: via: through, by way of; by means of, with the aid of, by virtue of.
According to you: Bonjour: multicast DNS, used to advertise the availability of a service
So, to repeat his statement using your words, and the definition: "iTunes has a lot more attack surface than than just file sharing with the aid of multicast DNS "
Can you find an instance of Apple ever giving MP3's to play in the iPod?
Almost. . . back in the day, right before the release of the iPod, apple shipped their G4, and I can only assume other models, came with a sampling of music, preloaded into iTunes. Each of those unrestricted MP3s Is currently loaded on my iPod, and not a problem with a single one of them. Does anyone else remember these?
I'm gonna lose karma for this, but what the hell. . .
I'm sitting here in my chair and the radio is on. . . As i'm working my way down this page, I glanced at this post, and began reading it, I hear on the radio:
"Writer Hunter S. Thompson was found dead in his Colorado home this morning. .."
My guess is he wanted to flood the 911 service with useless calls, and in the long run potentially harm people because they can't get through to 911
I hardly think WebTV could create a "flood" of calls. . . does any one have accurate stats as to the number of active WebTV. . . sorry . . . MSN TV users?
arg. . this one is starting to bother me as much as the "all consoles are sold at a loss" argument.
article after article, whenever someone mentions apple and Microsoft in the same sentence, the mention the "Much needed infusion of cash" that Microsoft supposedly gave to apple to "keep them afloat". . . Apple was not hurting for cash, they had plenty. It was a peace offering. Microsoft payed apple to make Internet Explorer the default web browser. that's it. They did not ever own any controlling interest in apple, or any say in how apple runs it's business. Apple would be in the same position it is today, if it never made the deal with Microsoft
* Apple doesn't understand the needs of business computer people
There's no on-site service, no guaranteed turnaround time, no dedicated support line for businesses. IBM would take care of this.
Well, I can say that your wrong on that point. I purchased an xServe from apple for my company, and I also got a 3 year support contract with it. lets see what it covers:
AppleCare Premium Service and Support Plan.
Integrated service and support for Xserve or Xserve RAID hardware and Mac OS X Server software
One number to call for help, day or night
One team to diagnose hardware failures and software configuration issues for fast problem resolution
Up and running telephone and email support
Up to three years of technical support using advanced remote management and monitoring tools
24/7 priority access to senior technical support staff by telephone and email
30-minute response on email and telephone calls
Onsite hardware repairs with 4 (four) hour response time
Provides consultative phone and email support for advanced Mac OS X Server integration and migration issues.
Yes, i have had to have my xServe serviced, and they were there in the allotted time, And I also get excellent detected phone support. That was all for my own personal business. I also work for a school:
Well, the edu channel was OK, but got whacked recently. ..
Maybe you have not had the opportunity to work directly with Apple's education channel, but it's a little more then ok, and far from whacked. For the last 5 years, I have been purchasing computers for my program directly through the education channel and am pleased with thier service. I have an education sales agent assigned to me that helps me coordinate all my purchases, and an educational consultant to help me build solutions to work in my special environment. They've even provided me with possible funding sources for certain purchases.
I work in a school for handicapped children, and deal with a lot of these types of problems with a few of my students. On easy solution I have found to be useful is Gus! Dwell Cursor:
Gus! Dwell Cursor provides a practical method of activating mouse button clicks (click, double click etc.) for users who have difficulty accessing standard mouse buttons. . . Move the
cursor over the item you want to "click", and Gus! Dwell Cursor automatically does the mouse clicking for you!
It basically works by automatically clicking when the cursor "dwells" over an item on the screen. Speed and choice of right or left click can be selected using an on screen palate. Give it a try, it may be just what your looking for. BTW- they have a free trial on their site.
since i discovered wvdial i never had any problems on my PC. But i installed Linux several times on a friend's G3 and never got the internal modem up and running. I'm sure though that if i had a Mac at home, i would have tried until it works.
The built in modem on the G3s and G4s are real serial modems. The modem shows up as a serial port. I have used the gPort product in the past to replace the modem with a serial port. Here is a little snipet explaining how they work (emphasis is mine):
The gPort and g4Port adapters provide standard Mac serial ports that are compatible with all Mac serial devices. They support all Apple and third party serial and localtalk printers(Mac OS 9), midi devices, as well as any other serial device that works on a Mac.
The gPort, g4Port, and CubePort use the modem slot on the G3, G4, or G4 Cube so they provide "board level" compatibility, even supporting Localtalk file sharing and printing to your existing Localtalk printers in Mac OS 9.

Damn It, i just spit out my drink. . . to bad i used all my mod points already. . . someone mod this up!!!
A fake letter from your fake boss on some fake letterhead giving you permission to copy the keys is all that's needed.
