iDVD 5 supports saving as a disc image.. from there utilities will pop up.. or use toast.. and burn from another external burner that way... not a bigdeal big guy, they took care of it
Totally with you here man. If you haven't listened to the audiobooks of the series.. do so.. they rock and you get to hear Mr. Adams himself tell the story, absolutely hilarious stuff.
Here's for hoping there will be plenty of books waiting for me to read on the other side!
He says that you can add multiple labels to a Picasa picture or set of pictures... but you can only view one at a time. The labels are for quickly finding photos... you can hit Control+K to add "keywords" which will allow you to search for "birthday" and "son's name" as he did and get all those pictures.. Labels aren't a replacement for "tags" in adobe photoshop album or "keywords" in picasa. minor mistake but you're hardly expected to know how everythings works by using it for a day... Picasa does what he wanted it to do as far as organizing and tagging.. he just didn't know how to do it.
NewsFire does this as well... I honestly can't wait for new releases because it keeps adding great features each time. I'm thoroughly enjoying watching it become better and better.
Odd because I know a lot of people who are switching and they're not computer junkies and they're telling their friends to switch. The computer illiterate are now spreading the goodness. I don't care if IE comes preloaded on 9 out of 10 computers, success isn't measured in number of computers something is on. It's measured by how the fans, or the users, enjoy the product. To me, if it makes the lives of 100 people better then it's successful. And Firefox is successful for the millions who use it. Sure it's a minority, but it's pretty damn successful if you ask me and it will continue to be successful.
Ok i'm going to gloat... I have had this install of windows going for about 4-5 months. I have used Firefox for nearly everything web page related. I did load up IE once or twice to check a few things out. I haven't ran a spyware removal app since I installed windows... today my computer was running slow (something about the large 350mb tv shows i'm downloading i think)... so i decided to run adaware.. it found 18 "files" all data mining and IE related. That was all the spyware my machine had gotten in 4-5 months use by using firefox.. i think that speaks for itself
I really don't see how this is a troll.. he really has been very consistent and accurate about these "rumors" especially lately. Definitely not a troll, informative or offtopic maybe, but not a troll
Nothing real world (for normal users anyway) exists for it yet. I know my parents don't care if it runs a database faster, can address more than 4gigs of ram or what have you. Nor do my brothers care about this, they want games to run as fast as possible. Those are all 32 bit games, and there's no real 64 bit windows yet.. sure the beta, but good luck getting it to work as an everyday system. They don't care about linux either so it doesn't make sense to judge the 64 bit part of this for most normal users. besides, you'd be comparing apples to oranges... the Athlon64 vs the Pentium 4 in 64 bitness? Obviously the Athlon64 will win.. it's the only one to have 64-bit registers. There's really nothing to compare it to on the desktop side of things either other than a mac. and even then you aren't comparing things fairly.
Go build a nice system from Falcon Northwest or Alienware or Voodoo PC.. you get choices and they build very nice systems.. You don't have to get the crazy cases most of the time either.. give it a shot
actually.. you miss the fact that he has split personalities... which if i recall correctly is called Dissociative personality disorder... throw that in there too...
That's odd because I felt the environment in HL2 was what made it so innovative. There's a lot of very very interesting puzzles to solve using the environment. You get to use the environment around you and that is very very cool. Oh, and I don't have to pay a monthly fee to continue to play it. This online subscription model is never going to fly for me. In fact.. even with half-life 2, i still miss the old 2d games that were so easy to jump right into and play... all this 3d crap is annoying.. i want my lucas arts adventure games back too..
kind of funny how we haven't really heard too much about SCO on slashot lately... they still exist? I thought IBM would've snapped them in two and spit them out....
Less crash prone in my opinion. GAIM never quite works right, lacks a lot of features that make Trillian useful. I've been using 3.0 Pro since the 2nd or third alpha release and have been incredibly happy with it. If you want just simple messaging capabilities GAIM is great, but if you want video chats, audio chats, or anything advanced, GAIM bites the big one. Plus GTK on the windows platform really really sucks. Much better in unix land but it's not really worth installing on a windows machine if you ask me, my brother has tried using GAIM on XP and such, always updated, never worked right, he switched back to the official clients because they worked. Trillian may well do what he needs though and I haven't let him try it yet.
This phone certainly will not replace your iPod. It'll be flash based and as such probably hold a measley 512mb or so. Granted that's a lot for a phone but.. it's still pretty small as opposed to 20-60gigabytes. So ifyou're like me and have really random listening habits... you might find 512mb to 1gig is really... small for your listening pleasure. let's just say it wouldn't be replacing my ipod anytime soon
"I must say that it is very refreshing to see Microsoft finally start to take some serious action to help combat this rampant problem."
You're kidding right? Why don't they plug the holes and create a secure product instead of spending money on funding yet another product that doesn't NEED to exist. For christ's sake, fix IE and fix windows, why waste your money, and people's time of having to actually remove it? Stop it from getting on the computer in the first place. Sheesh, makes me glad I use OS X now, I don't deal with this bullshit spyware anymore on at least one machine now.
Surprisingly i have something similar happen to me. I had a hard time understanding the basic algebra stuff (no i'm not stupid, just had a horrid math teacher that didn't fit my learning style at all, she was fired years later after she screwed up more childrens education).. but after I started programming and started evalutating equations and such in programming my brain just rewired itself and now i really understand the basics of math A LOT better. I have been meaning to pick up an RPN calc just for kicks to see if it fits my own way of thinking better. Might try this after you have mentioned it.
Well the reason I am wondering if you live under a rock is because there has only been about 5 articles a week on the PSP in some form or another on slashdot. Along with many other sites like Engadget and Gizmodo
Live under a rock? Seriously READ THE F'IN ARTICLE! And if you're still too lazy to do that... It's The PlayStation Portable. Basically a a handheld version of something between a PS1 and a PS2. *sigh*
Ok I'll bite. I own a GBA SP that they claim lasts 10 hours with frontlighting on and 16 with it off. My experience has been about 12-13 hours with the frontlight on and I can't comment on the frontlight off because I never turn it off. Nintendo typically gives correct numbers for batterly life, as you can see my battery life is actually HIGHER than they stated. So how's that for ya? I would trust nintendo, where I do not trust Sony.
I'm not sure because i can't read the article due to slashdotting.. but i believe the G3 ibooks had logic board failures up the wazoo... In typical leo laporte fashion his died and after sitting on it for awhile he threw it away and bought a 12" powerbook, a day or two after he did that Apple had a logic board recall notice or warranty extension of some kind...;) kinda funny how that man always gets burned by apple some way or another... typically he buys a model, and the next day they release an update. poor planning on his part mostly:-P
ouch on the AAC pricing scheme... granted i think AAC rocks in terms of sound quality.. but i do wish my ipod supported ogg so i could go totally free on it.. didn't realize that ogg supported surround sound.. does the encoder actually take advantage of it or does it have the "ability" to but hasn't been coded yet? i don't normally keep up real well with this audio stuff
key here is that mp3 surround is backwards compatible.. meaning the new stuff could be encoded in mp3 surround. not that any cd's you get right now take advantage of surround sound anyway so it's worthless i think (correct me if i'm wrong)... but i think SACD and DVD-Audio do support surround sound so that's always an option for using this and maintaining the surround sound in the encoded format
Slashdot Mirror
not sure about the dual core G5.. but there is a dual core G4 in the works
iDVD 5 supports saving as a disc image.. from there utilities will pop up.. or use toast.. and burn from another external burner that way... not a bigdeal big guy, they took care of it

No no.. he's an anal dwelling butt monkey... ;)
Soon? 6 months at the earliest... AT THE EARLIEST... even then.. that's a pipe dream.. so... expect another year of G4's .... sheesh
