I wouldn't provide low-quality samples, because that might cause users to think that the music you are providing is of similar quality. Providing a free track or two from the disc or a 30-second preview (a la iTunes) would be a better option for users to sample your music.
Also, remember that the costs of shipping, handling, packaging etc. will be quickly made up in the costs for bandwidth.
In the majority of my applications, colour is more of a style thing than actual functionality, but when it is, there are build in methods that can explain functionality without being related to colour. eg. Using tooltips on the specific colours, or make use of a status bar for when they mouseover specific items.
It may also be worthwhile to create a UI based on text (and little graphics), for the colourblind, as well as people who get pissed off at fancy interfaces.
If you've ever watched the Dilbert TV series, you would know that all you need to do is drink from the same mug as another PHB (just a sip will do) and their infectious syndrom (was it? or is a virus?) will slip inside your system and forever turn you over (although Dilbert managed to get out, but I can't remember how... any helpers?)
I couldn't even get the screensaver to crash, I'm just reporting what I've heard other people say. The bug seemed to be only on specific versions of Darwin/OS X and was a bit strange even then. Either way, at least one potential bug is crushed.
In which case, Apple should have named this patch as a patch to Cocoa itself instead of simply the screensaver.
Trying to reduce the public's perception of the problem are we Apple? Just think, a Cocoa buffer overflow still isn't as bad as Windows' shatter attacks.
But you aren't logged in, just pushed into the console. (Still bad, just not as bad is crashing the login box, getting root access and resetting all passwords to *blank*)
I find it strange that the main pictures on the UNISYS website (banners, large images etc.) are JPEG. Don't they love their little compression algorythm anymore?
I have basically sworn to never wear a suit to anything. A simply t-shirt, shorts and jandals is all that is needed and I'll stick by that. If it negatively affects my work or anything else, then I've got a nice sample of ass for people to kiss.
Especially when you concider that in other countries, they have uncapped, unlimited, cheap, broadband (with more than one supplier) it really pisses you off that the only thing holding NZ back is a single corporate monopoly.
Well, over here in New Zealand, it's very similar -
All ADSL broadband is provided through the largest (ex-SOE) government-supported monopoly of a telecommunications company (Telecom). They charge the most ridiculous prices for ADSL and even mislead customers with the speed of the actual service (in a very cunning, but legal, way).

Revolution in the works? (oh, please, YES!)
Yes! That was it! How was Dilbert cured though?

Don't tell me this is a .NET 1.1 port! .NET!
I don't give a crap about that C/C++ conversion/rip, I just want it to run on the _compatable_ version of

BBC World's ClickOnline program (a load of crap IMO), also has the interview with him, but in video form.
Choosing / and changing all of the permissions is also great fun.
This can be disabled in OpenFirmware,
Doesn't that mean that it can also be re-enabled in OpenFirmware But if they've got physical access to the machine, it's over pal.
and the user will never suspect you were there, because everything is just as they left it.
Until you change their background, trash their home directory and fill their dock with millions of useless files.

Since when does a contract have to be written to agree to it? Telephone companies do it, software companies do it, people do it.
But really, who gives a crap?
But public domain already has a totally different meanint, it is the relinquishment (spelling?) of ownership.
I'm aware of that, but shouldn't they at least be pushing forward with their own standards?

Everybody just has to own a little slice of UNIX don't they?
I wouldn't exactly call it's declining viewer numbers, "popular."
Unless you want your notes and assignments to be constantly being erased, corrupted and forwarded to big brother.
Congratulations Apple! I've never actually had to use Apple support because their products are just too good!
If you want, they could use cat!
Thanks for the information! But it's still a long way off from getting rid of the imperial system completly (well, more than they already have).
