You misunderstood. He was being sarcastic because he wanted more than one button on the mouse
So - want to explain the Ctrl and Alt keys on the PC?
Try drag & drop sometime. You'll find it actually is implemented on the Mac. Thus obviating the need for the right-click reflex.
The reason PC users are so glued to the right button is because it's nearly impossible to figure out how to do anything without it - due to incredibly poor design. And never mind that right click itself is nearly a malapropism - it's actually ring-finger click - try using someone's left handed setup sometime - another reason the multibutton mouse sucks. But more importantly, the PC interface people (assuming they have any - check out the keyboard shortcuts for Find in Explorer, Outlook, Textpad, and Word) don't have to think about their designs - they just throw more crap into the right-click menu. "Hey Joe - where should I put this stuff?" "Uhhh, I dunno. Maybe throw it in the right click menu?"
I've subscribed to Stanaphone just to find out that my account disappeared simply because I didn't use it for a month. [snip] Could you imagine if you're enjoying a 45 days holiday in Europe (or in New Zealand, which is really cool!), and when back home find out your phone doesn't work anymore because of this kind of policy? No POTS operator would do this...
this style of political interview is pretty much all you see in the US.
1. Politician is asked a question.
2. Politician gives a stirring mostly pre-prepared speech that may even have some vague relevance to the question asked.
3. Interviewer moves on to the next question.
What's with that?! Watch some BBC interviewers - I'd love to see nice half hour or hour interview of Kerry or Bush conducted by some of the BBC political interviewers.
I'll probably be attacked with a thousand flaming arrows for this, but you should try Fox News. Really the only US home of hard interviews. Only on cable unfortunately, but it sure beats the hell out of CNN/ACB/CBS/NBC. Unless the aforementioned happen to be interviewing a conservative. Or turncoat liberals.
??? What are you talking about? Moore provides the following:
http://www.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/stories/02/02/ cnn.report/cnn.pdf
The quote I had in the post you responded to was taken directly from the link you provided. Perhaps you should actually read it rather than letting Mr. Moore hand feed you the tidbits he wants you to chew on.
Just make sure you read his sources if you want the whole story and not the 'Less is Moore' story.
I just read fact #1: Fox was the first network to call Florida for Bush. Before that, some other networks had called Florida for Gore, and they changed after Fox called it for Bush.
Near the beginning of his first source for this fact, it is stated: The confusion and controversy began on Election Night itself, when the television
networks committed serious errors in their reporting of the election returns.
Most serious were:
The report that Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic candidate, had won the
key state of Florida, followed later by a retraction of that report.
The report that Texas Governor George W. Bush, the Republican candidate, had
won Florida, and with it the presidency. This led to Gore's personal concession by
telephone to Bush, based on the erroneous information.
Yet another retraction by the networks, this time on the Bush call.
The erroneous Gore calls[emphasis added] were made by ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, and NBC,
as well as by the Associated Press. The later Bush calls were made by the five television
networks but not by the AP.
Note that the report Moore uses to substantiate his Fox conspiracy theory refers to the call of Florida for Gore as 'erroneous', and yet we don't see him going after the networks that called for Gore. But of course, this is a documentary.
I think the key thing to remember in this discussion is that Americans aren't all that obsessed (or even interested?) in the goings-on of Canada.
I suspect that irks the Canadians. Perhaps not. But it seems like Canadians have quite strong opinions along the lines of "Americans this" & "Americans that". I have not observered the reverse. About the only thing you'll probably get from an American if you bring up Canada is "Eh, hoser.".
Another point to remember is that Canada is far more socialistic than the US, so political bent plays a factor. And politics, like religion, doesn't tend to have a lot of room for opposing opinions.
The mere fact that the original poster (like many outside the US) has been brainwashed into believing that we're all packing guns out of fear for our lives should give you an idea of the level of true knowledge they actually have.
As for my knowledge of Canada, it's quite limited. I can name the provinces, and if pressed could name PMs back through Trudeau (meaning starting with his first round as PM). But that pretty much covers it. I'd certainly not profess to tell you what the average Canadian is like in any detail. Particularly not based on like-minded agenda driven stations like ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/PBS. I used to live near Vancouver and watched their local news, but it was no better than what I was getting in Seattle.
And, finally, to get back on the topic of the original post. I didn't see a single thing in the article that was the result of a lack of geographical knowledge. But I did notice that the UK source was more than happy to make their lead-in a slam on the knowledge of thos damned ignorant Americans.
And thank you for the RSA overview. I assumed there was private/public key negotiation going on. It never occurred to me that it was as simple as embedding the private key into the H/W so that the Express could decode it without exposing the stream to outside decoding. Even with the data right in front of my face.
Guess I should have looked it over a bit more before posting & heading off to work.
Ultimately, the Express needs to know how to decrypt that stream. The only way for that to occur is if it receives a decode key. And that information can be captured. Or so it would seem to me.
Since the link is still being hammered, and I'm the impatient type, I ran tcpdump on an iTunes to AE stream.
From what I see in the dump, it looks iTunes queries the AE via RTSP, configures it with a password if need be, and then sets up an RTSP record stream to the AE. After that, it just pumps RTSP packets to it.
Part of the RSTP ANNOUNCE request is an RSA AES key.
The Nokia 6600, 3650 and 3660 used a program called mRouter. The 7610 uses different software, which requires iSync to switch to SyncML. But nobody knows when that might happen.
There must be more to it than that. iSync works with my Moto T730c & previously with my V.60. Both of these, although not Bluetooth enabled, are SyncML protocol phones.
Besides, I've been running Linux since the 0.99.x kernels. And I run Gnome on my Sun desktop at work everday. The Linux desktops available lack the power & ease of use of OS X's GUI [not to mention a polished development environment], but that wasn't even a point in my response.
1) If you "have" to add a monitor to the Mac then obviously you "have" to add a monitor to the AMD.
2) You forgot to add in your expenses for warranty & support.
3) Your base price is wrong - the G5 is $1800, not $1900.
4) Drop the DVD burner & modem from the G5 & it's $1570 - with an OS, AppleWorks, iLife, et. al. Of course, you can always nuke it & run Darwin or Linux.
So, for an extra $275 you get an engineered, warrantied, professionally manufactured machine that you can easily upgrade to dual CPU in the future. Just my 16#0000_0000_0000_0002# cents worth.
Being the caution dweeb that I am, I not only immediately installed 10.3.4, but I felt compelled to dock my iPod during the install.
Yeah - the predictable happened. Mouse pointer freeze and all. Leaving me with a honked installation that won't boot.
I rebooted to OS9 & downloaded the standalone, reinstalled 10.3 on a different partition [I would have fixed it singleuser, but installer was giving me "Carbon Lazy Values"] and ran:
It's hard to believe that this is the science group. It's unfortunate that your father suffered from a massive stroke. Strokes also run in my family and it's likely my mother will suffer the same fate. However, your story doesn't prove or disprove anything. Your father could have suffered a massive stroke while taking the Plavix. There's no way to know. The NIH is currently undertaking a clinical trial to study the efficacy of chelation therapy. The results of this study should be available in another 4 years. The results may completely agree with your assessment. They also may completely disagree with your assessment. But at least they will be scientific.
In regards to your claim "Chelation IS NOT an FDA approved treatment for ANYTHING!", the nih.gov link provided above states
"Over 800,000 patient visits were made for chelation therapy in the United States in 1997. Chelation therapy involves the use of EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid), a synthetic amino acid that is administered intravenously (through the veins). EDTA, which effectively speeds removal of heavy metals and minerals such as lead, iron, copper, and calcium from the blood, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in treating lead poisoning and toxicity from other heavy metals. Although it is not approved by the FDA to treat coronary artery disease, some physicians and alternative medicine practitioners have recommended EDTA chelation as a way to treat this disorder."
A good place to start were the original Google links that provided a myriad of pro and con links so that people could actually use their own judgement. But then thinking appears to be something you're afraid people either will do or won't do they way you want them to.
(My apologies for not using lots of Bogus Capitalized Phrases - I guess the Thought Police are working to Prevent Me From Agreeing with you).
There's a book entitled "Toxic Metal Syndrome" that claims that these plaques can be removed using chelation therapy. The links are Google searches, so you'll be able to get a lot of viewpoints on both the book and the therapy.

Then I tried to reboot to that install. Anyway - it's even more screwed than before.
Ideas?
Apparently my install didn't work right, because the 40GB hard drive emulator doesn't seem to be working.
Or at least they would be if we hadn't handed over so much technology to them.
