I find this more annoying than anything, when you click on a link, and it downloads a text file or something because it doesn't know what to do, then you have to go into your downloads folder, get it, and delete it. It has been doing this with images and videos, but I think it is because the site is telling it to.
In all due respect, the science fair that paid out probably doesn't have that much money to give away, there was a prize they set up, he won the fair, and that is what he was given. I'm sure he will be getting grants and recognition from other sources in the near future.
It said in the article that the car got a special exemption for Air Bags. Was that only in the prototype, or also in the final version? I can see a nice lawsuit coming right after the first fatality in one of these.
Don't we hear this about once every two years or so? Maybe even more often than that. It is always same thing, "Macs will end up like Windows with viruses if it gets mainstream" Tagged with slownewsday
It looks like it pointed to http://computers4sure.com/ at one point or another, and their phone number is 1 800 COMPUTER, so I am assuming the just lost the domain, or rebranded from computer.com to computers4sure.com
Did someone say that running out of names was a likely problem? Why did you even raise that issue?
I was just skimming through, but his thing about names running out seemed a lot more on topic than the post about the Geneva Convention and Prisoners of War that got moderated +5.
I'll be the first to mention that they normally are on the Macintosh. I could make a joke about modern - mac and legacy - windows, but I won't go that far.
..that the war between China and the United States is more of a legislative and economic one fought with dollars and cents. China and the Taliban don't need to take us by force, they simply need to take over our economy. China by manufacturing and selling unauthorized patented and copywritten equipment and now theme parks. We do all of the research and development, and they sell it at cost with no reimbursement, thus destroying our system of innovation, and allowing them to turn the world back into the stone age. The Taliban will take us by causing us to put all of our tax payers dollars into ammo.
To clarify, that was exactly my point. People who say, "Structured Query Language" instead of SQL, or even SEQUEL for the sake of it are the pointy haired mid 20s IT kiddies who try and put themselves above others to sound intellectual are not the type of people who made the UNIX directories such as/lib and/etc. I never said SQL didn't stand for Structured Query Language, the point was that there is no secret meaning behind the directories. The people who made these directories up are confident enough with themselves to not engage in silly games at an attempt to sound cool in front of their buddies.
The people who made up these file systems are not the pointy haired middle management type, they are geeks like me and you. They don't have acronyms for everything./etc isn't going to stand for something like "extendable tool configuration", it is either going to stand for et cetera or nothing at all. People who want to sound cool by saying things like, "SQL stands for Structured Query Language" are just trying to "sound smart" in front of their "friends". That's my philosophy after looking at your explanation of the UNIX hierarchy.
The only reason he is saying that is looks ugly is because that is Vistas main selling point is its looks, and added "security". Personally, I just see Vista being SP3 for Windows XP with some lame themes. They should have stuck with the Blackcomb idea and just worked on fixing the OS itself.
Offtopic, but is there anything for the mac that is comparable to streets and trips? I bought it with the Microsoft GPS thingy, and it works great in Parallels, but I'd like to stay native to the mac.
Lets see how well IE 7 does if it costs $4.99 to download and install. I think also XP should be sold standard on PCs, with an upgrade fee of $4.99 for Vista.
...be the first to mention the idea of space creatures living under the surface of Mars. We need to dump money into NASA and send some people out there to hail them.
All of Apples MacBooks and MacBook Pros have used LiPo since their debut in January. That's why battery life was uncertain, because LiPo had not been used in notebooks before. I hear they are supposed to be better than LiIon.

I got you beat, 4.7 L Magnum V8, Full Red/White lightbar with amber traffic arrow in the back, 100W PA/Siren, and a 45 Watt VHF Radio.
I also get to play super hero several times a week. You need to join your local volunteer fire department.

How did you mount the glass?
What is between the monitor and keyboard that causes issues with the internet?

I run quickbooks on my mac, I like it better than the windows version.
3. First iPhone user to get laid because of it (those with significant others don't count).
Those who purchase an iPhone and have a significant other will probably NOT get laid because of purchasing it.

It should be USA PATRIOT Act:
From wikipedia:
The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act

Care to give us slashdotters any background? Or are you just making a stab at the RIAA? We would love to hear what the RIAA did to you.

The episodes of Prison Break I get look great on my 15" MacBook Pro screen.

Yes, there was a typo. It actually sees 20 minutes into the future.
