I've had the problem as well, maybe twice per week. It's a bit too early to say it is fixed, but that bullet point certainly jumped out at me. It's the only reason I intalled 10.3.8 so soon.
Yes, SoundJam was better than iTunes. And iTunes 1 was based on SoundJam.
However, the rest of your post is sketchy at best. C&G never owned SoundJam. SoundJam was owned by the developers who wrote it, including Jeff Robbins. Jeff Robbins also worked at Apple at the time.
Apple purchased the publishing rights to SoundJam, purchased the source code from Jeff & co, and transferred the developers (who they already employed) to the new iTunes division.
By iTunes 2, Apple had reached feature parity with SoundJam (except for skins). Since then, iTunes has just gotten better and better.
So I'm not entirely sure where the bile comes from. Who was hard done by here? Was it C&G, who Jeff & co could have pulled the product from at any time? Was it Jeff & co, who not only got a nice payment, but got full time jobs working on the product he loved? Was it the users, who got the best MP3 player on any platform free? Who was it?
Oh. I didn't mean the keyboard. Yes, that was built in! But I seem to recall the mouse was not the tradditional Apple//-type serial. It may have been ADB, but having thought about it for a while I think you're probably right and it wasn't. It was probably a mini-serial, or I may be completely stark-raving nuts and it was just the usual Apple screw-in connector.
I lusted after the Apple//c when I was a kid, but I rarely got to touch one.:)
Actually, I think they're skipping putting the disk in the box lately. But the installer is available on the hard drive, and can be downloaded for free (registration required) in any case.
Well, I definitely agree with that. It got upgraded (again) as soon as possible. But it sounds like with 256MB it isn't choking on its own excrement and vomit at least.:)
Actually, the parent says: Doesn't XCode have a feature that lets you "vectorize" certain parts of your code already?
The answer is yes.
"Automatic" was introduced by one of the child posts. You're correct that the answer to that is no. However, I didn't think that's what was being asked since it was a top-level question in response to TFA's "you must use assember."
Anyway, sounds like we agree on reality, we just disagree on what's being asked. So between the two of us we've provided a very complete answer.:)
When it boils right down to it, Linux is free and Mac OS X isn't. So no, I don't think it would be a bad thing if Mac OS X sent Linux-on-the-desktop packing. (Not that I think it's doing so, but it's an interesting question that I feel deserves an answer.) If you improve it to the point that a compelling case can be made for using it as a desktop operating system, people will use it as one.
Maybe that means that Linux on the desktop needs more work. Maybe it will get it, maybe it won't. But if it can't compete with at least some success against another niche OS that costs $150 per year (or two) to keep up to date, it doesn't deserve to survive...
Personally, I'm hoping this drives both OSes to new heights.
There's no such feature built in to the Apple Mac OS X mouse driver. I suppose you could install the Microsoft drivers -- they probably have the feature -- but do you really want to let Microsoft code sit at such a low level on the Macintosh?
I have to agree. I was not even aware that IDN had been approved. It seems a terrible idea to me... possibly even within country TLDs, but certainly within.com.
First, I don't really mind the idea. I think it's probably a good one.
But one thing I find amusing is the idea of keeping physical securit to the site. Surely if we've learned one thing recently, it's the value of knowledge. Keeping them from taking a floppy disc hope isn't going to make a lick of difference here. Except that, I guess, it might give the university some distance if a criminal investigation against one of the students is launched.
I think you missed the point of that post. I think the author was suggesting that is what the James Webb Space Telescope is, thus there's no need to build yet another replacement.
However, as you probably know, the James Webb Space Telescope is not a perfect replacement.
To be fair, there were significant differences between Microsoft's implementation and Apple's. From Apple to Mozilla is almost a pixel-per-pixel copy.
Many soon-to-be Mac OS X technologies saw their first implementation as part of MBU applications. It makes me wonder who thought them up -- certainly, the MBU is a possiblity, but I'm fairly sure that the MBU was getting Mac OS X information long before the public.
For instnace, Internet Explorer 5 also introduced aqua-like racing stripes. This was well after Mac OS X previews were seen sporting such stripes. It's entirely possible that Microsoft saw an early implementation of the customize toolbar functionality. Then again, maybe Apple ripped them off. Who knows?
Personally, I have no problem with Mozilla copying the idea. I'd have no problem with Macromedia, Adobe or Sun copying it, either. It's a simple enough idea. I object only to people here saying it was in Seamonkey before it was in Mac OS X, since that is demontratably factually wrong.
No, it was not in the Mozilla suite (aka Seamonkey). In fact, it still isn't. It was first seen in Internet Explorer on Macintosh, then (with a lot of refinement) in Mac OS X 10.0, then copied almost pixel by pixel (with an improvement in behaviour) to Firefox.
Is it a big deal? No. But at least don't refute its history.

While I don't refute that Firefox and Sunbird rippped off Mac OS X, they did manage to improve it a little. In Firefox and Sunbird, dragging a tool icon out of the window and into the tool bar causes it to disappear from the window. This makes it much easier to find the tool icons you're not using.
While confusing to Mac users like myself (and thus, probably not a good idea on the Mac at all), it is a better way to do it.
My brother married a girl overseas. By the time he got her home, their daughter was almost a year old.
Me, I'm waiting for my wife to get here before we start a family. We've been married for just over a year now, and only just got acknowledgement that they're starting the process. So far, it's cost about $2000 in total... and that will double before it's over. And there's certainly no gurantee that they'll approve her, despite us being married.
So unless your post was sarcastic, I think you need to rethink your position. A Canadian girl I knew had a much easier time getting in to the US to be with her husband (although I think it cost more $$$).

Microsoft wrote LibPNG?

There were such beasts for the Macintosh Plus, so I'm sure they'll be available sooner or later for the Mac Mini.
Actually, I think they're skipping putting the disk in the box lately. But the installer is available on the hard drive, and can be downloaded for free (registration required) in any case.

Or by feel, until they added the notch to the button for "up."
How'd you find the 256MB of RAM? Or did you already upgrade it?
Consensus is that it's very slow, but I actually had to run Mac OS X with 256MB once and it wasn't as bad as everyone is saying.

You can have a 20 hour work week, but only if you consider the week reduced to two days. Enjoy!

I titled my link wrong. That is the release date of 10.0, not 10.1. However, the feature was in 10.0, so all the dates are correct. Just a typo.
