Well, maybe I shouldn't say "prefer."
But I think the Periodic Table and
the Table of Nuclides should be combined.
I found another version here.
I think the shape of the table is very interesting.
Yes, I am the typical HAPPY Mac User. I don't get viruses anymore.
I have a biege G3, a Lime Green Rev C iMac, a Powerbook G3 and 2 G4 Cubes. They are all connected via Ethernet, all with high speed internet. The iMac is in the living room connected to the stereo for playing my MP3 library from a firewire drive, that once connected to any machine can mount on any other machine. I also listen to streaming radio stations. It's so fun switching stations and tracks with the USB remote control! I connect my keyboard (musical keyboard) to the laptop and digitally record. I also use the laptop to watch DVDs on the digital projector. I use a stylus tablet and even have a three button mouse. (Logitech, $15, no drivers) None of these computers is EVER turned off and I have NO PROBLEMS. They all run SETI in their spare time I've never had any problems making any of this stuff work! And my newest Mac is over three years old! My house is wired like I could only dream less than 10 years ago! I don't even need a new computer!
So have fun downloading that latest patch from tinyFlaccid(R).
And for the record, after realizing half my files were gone, I ran a virus checker on that old-piece-of-shit PC, and it never booted again. It's in a box in my basement.
OK, I am asking this honestly and seriously, and do not want to start a Flash vs. No-Flash FlameWar.
But I will begin by saying I am a Flash developer and use Flash a lot and really like it.
I would really like to now what the fear is among some Mac users. I have really only seen it on/. and it kind of confuses me, yet does concern me. The plug-ins don't seem to take up much room. I don't know, I don't get it. I would really like you or someone to please plainly and calmly explain to me why they think Flash is bad.
Some history of my usage...
I started using Flash when the educational software company I worked for (until a year ago this week) moved from an in-house platform to Flash for web and CD. It was new to everyone there (v.4 at the time) The other Mac users that I worked with seemed to like it a lot, too, and we had fun exploring the things you could do with Actionscripting.
Presently, now that the company is gone, I'm getting pretty good work doing freelance and contract Flash development, and see a lot of jobs out there doing it.
As per your question, No, I don't think Apple requires Flash for anything.
And, btw, the new Flash 7 player seems to speed up performance on slower Macs!
The same has happened to me, notice the email address of the poster, hmmmmmm.
That's why I don't bother to post articles anymore.
It really makes for a richer slashdot experience, don't you think?... NOT
about.31% of the US population is HIV positive.
about.66% of the Earth's population is HIV positive.
This disease has not been around very long, and is quickly approaching 1 out of every 100 people having it. While some of your points are valid, your seeming callousness is alarming and somewhat disturbing. After all, the post you so articulately derided was only quoting a Saturday Night Live character. I tend to agree with that post's general sentiment that a study on how cookies crumble is somewhat frivolous. Especially when my Grandma has been making sturdy, delicious cookies for 70 years.

It costs more than $50 to make the box with a CD, to ship it to stores, and to sell it to you
No the Hell it does not! You don't know what you're talking about!

Well, 5 years ago, I got a VIRUS on my PC and it fried the Motherboard... exactly why I have a house full of Macs now.
You change your MIME settings on how to handle .swf files, right?
As per the argument about bad design, well you might as well get rid of HTML, too.

The cool thing about Apple, is you recognize the computers even when the have to blank the logo out!
You sure wasted your mod point!
