Not just that, but it's intentional. If you go to the debug menu and pick a different user agent (I picked Mac MSIE) it works just fine. Why would they break it on purpose just for Safari?
Seems like people don't get it. Squeezebox sits in the room with your stereo and lets you remote control a stream of music from your computer (possibly in another room) to your stereo. The idea is that your HD can hold a lot of stuff but you might not want to walk into the other room to change programs.
This hack lets you do the same with video stored on your computer. You sit in your home theatre room (or whatever) Squeezebox is already installed to do remote control on streamed audio, now you can do remote control on streamed video too.
Usefull? Beats me, but at least understand what the product does.
In grad school our compiler class had to write a basic C compiler (standard fare I know). Was a good learning experience and all that (actually I wrote mine in Macintosh Pascal just to freak the professor!) Then in a course in OOP the class did a group project to create Smalltalk (only got about half of what we wanted done... that's the nature of groups I think) Was my first exposure to Smalltalk and to OOP and really liked Smalltalk. Have always thought that students getting their first exposure to OOP would be much better served using Smalltalk than C++
Later a graphics class was done almost entirely using Smalltalk (by a visiting professor) and people from previous years were amazed at everything we got done. Never had a chance to program in it professionally, but many good memories of it. Have never had a slightest sense of elitism etc from those using it either.
Don't have to look that far. We already let a lot of native american tribes run casinos. Why not let them have the internet business too? Charge a share of the profits (some states already do), fool the WTO, sounds like a winner to me!
For producing such an overpriced POS, Steve Jobs.... you're FIRED!!!!!!!
I guess this is hoping to be modded funny! But the real Donald Trump should be way smarter. This is a great value for the buck. I only wish I had any excuse at all to need one. Seriously drool-worthy!
It's not sales tax, it's VAT: Value Added Tax. Never understood that sales tax thing anyway...
Same difference. Both are calculated on the selling price. Sales tax is computed at the register while VAT is calculated and added to the price ahead of time (which makes it hidden from the average customer... hence the reason it's usually higher).
If a customer in the US bought an item for $100 and then had $17 added in taxes they would have a fit. The $6 - $8 that's typically added is enough.
Probably why some politicians want the US to go to a VAT model - so they can raise the rates and hope no one notices.
I saw that in the store, but didn't buy it because a) it was $99 since it includes a hub (don't need it with PowerBook built in BlueTooth, and b) the box and the store clerk said it was Win 2K/XP only. Glad to know it works with Mac OS.
So, for those of you with apple laptops, do you carry a mouse around
with you to?
I have two mice that I use with my powerBook. One is a MacAlly iOptiJr that I love because it's small, got two buttons plus clickable scroll wheel, and you can change the plastic thingie on top to change color.
Also have a Kensington PocketMouse Pro Wireless. This one is really cool. It's USB wireless, but the USB dongle fits inside a compartment in the mouse when not in use, so it's easier to keep up with it, plus when you put the dongle in the compartment, it shuts off power to the mouse to conserve batteries. (It's also 2 button plus clickable scroll wheel)
Now if only Apple would make a multi-button bluetooth mouse, I'd be in heaven!
The AMD website says the chip has virus protection against MSBlaster, Slammer, etc. Does anyone besides me think this is a bad idea? Not that virus protection is bad per se, but that all these "protections" built into the chip are harbingers of even more "protections" to come. I'll let your imaginations fill in the rest.
By that argument, Gucci should encourage all the Chinese fakes in the name of free advertisements. It's not the advertisement they are worried about. It's the loss of revenue that is concomitant with that "advertisement".
that he is making the tacit assumption that many of these lawsuits have merit, and that much of the liability is real. Perhaps some do, but the large majority are nothing more than extortion and should be dealt with in a summary fashion.
A few judges with some testicular fortitude will solve the problem much more quickly than a thousand companies raising the price of their software in order to pay all the lawyers who are helping muddy the waters.
Good point. Another possible shortcoming is that it assumes that all relationships are defined by who is talking to whom. It's entirely possible that character A might spend a scene glowering at character B in anger, yet not say a word to them. The analysis would not find this relationship at all.
If you are not familiar with Ghibli, these are some of the finest animated movies out there, and some would even argue some of the finest movies of any kind. Disney did Spirited Away for the US market, so that's what the Disney comments are about (which have been modded off-topic in some cases... mods with no clue).
Interesting to compare the dubbing done by Disney to the subtitling done by various fans. I have seen at least three sets of subs, all of which vary a bit depending on the translator. Sometimes Disney's dub makes sense, and sometimes it is just plain strange. Hopefully the new realeases will be better translations, although personally I prefer to hear the original language and read subtitles.
What they are reporting is that your hand is a biased way to toss the coin. Nothing inherently biased in the coin, but rather in the hand that tosses it. Not that surprising.
Conventional wisdom is that the academy was waiting to see how it turned out before bestowing awards. (Turned out commercially... I assume that at least most of the academy can read the book!). Many are saying that this years' awards are really for the whole trilogy.
I have a Sony handycam, and have never had any problem connecting with Firewire (iLink as they call it). Don't use the USB, use the Firewire. Buy a cable if you don't have one, and it will "just work" with either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. Works like a charm.
You are absolutely right. Was posting in a hurry and must have had LOTR on my mind.
I really should have known better since I have just about every game Steve Jackson made back in the days when I was in college, and then bought all those books too!
This was "state of the art" maybe ten or fifteen years ago, with the "Pick a Path to Adventure" books. And they weren't $10, plus they came with some artwork.
Actually, Peter Jackson Games (not the same PJ) had a series with combat based on a dice system as part, so it wasn't even totally deterministic.
But now that someone has done it for the iPod, I bet that soon there will be lots of crappy copycat "games" out there for free.
Lately, they've been focusing less on cool new computer features and focusing more on cool new software (iApps, MacOS X, etc.) and cool new peripherals to help the computer get things done (iPod, iSight, etc.).
ummm, what about the powerbook line? and the G5 machines? I kind of thought both of those were pretty cool.
How exactly do you prove that something doesn't exist?
That was never the requirement. The WMD did exist; Irag admitted that. Irag had to verify that they were destroyed. For a very good example of this process done right, look into the way South Africa documented the destruction of their nuclear program.

I was suddenly getting audio only, no video. THe site lists alternate feeds though, some of which seems to be working for now.

it took me about 15 min. to update my 2000+ photo lib
Same here, but it did give the option to do it later, and even while running it gave the option to stop and finish later.
Haven't had a chance to play with the update much, but I can't really tell any difference in the thumbnails. What is it that other people are seeing?

If you RTFA you will see this mentioned. For pennies they say there is about 80% chance of tails because of the balance differential

Dude, before you publish the goatse.cx link, you should try it. It's been kaput for weeks now. Geez.
I was going to sleep in tomorrow, but now I'm going to have to give this a try instead! If this works, it will be a huge timesaver.
