and doesn't *require* that I buy all of my music from Apple.
Who told you that?
You don't *need* to buy music from Apple. You can place a CD in your PC and let iTunes convert it to DRM-free MP3's. Sync MP3's to iPod, enjoy!. You can buy Music from any music site* and use it with iTunes/iPod.
I have my complete CD collection now listed in iTunes and never bought a song from Apple.
I heard bad stories about the response time of their tech support (in and out game). I never had to contact them myself so I always thought that this was an overreaction of the unlucky gamer.
Now I see the time it takes to answer a slashdot interview.
If Blizzard keeps doing this then people will switch over to the next big thing(TM).
I know I played years of CounterStrike without buying a new game, now it is WoW.
Anything new? no.
So we have a device that is capable of reading Blue-Ray discs and requires an internet connection, think about the possibilities.
1. Hack the Authority server and upload a new firmware with a bittorrent protocol on to it.
2. All players download new firmware.
3. When playing a movie it is also on a bittorrent network.
4. ???
5. NON-PROFIT!!!
Monad is not in Vista, correct.
But there is a seperate beta of Monad available. You can install it later on Vista and appearently also on XP (sp2?) and 2003.
Notes 5 version of iNotes is IE only, yes.
But Notes 5.5 (? not sure) and 6 support Mozilla browsers. IBM has done a lot of work together with the Mozilla guys to fix this.
I checked out emusicgear which looks to be connected to Contois. But I can't find a musicplayer on their site. Yes, they have some software recording stuff but no "iTunes".
So please where is Apple hurting them? How many sales have the lost because of iTunes?
Patents that are not used within 2 years, should be made obsolete. You had your change to make a product, if you don't, bad luck.
Because IE is already installed on PC's, I don't think that figure will drop much lower. But.... we can change this.
Are you working at dell and create their default images?
Are you working in your local PC Supermarket?
Then do the world a favor and pre-install firefox and remove all icons linking to IE. (Or link them to firefox.exe)
Being a soldier who just got back from Iraq I'm actually pretty pissed at this because of the fucking dangers behind it. But I'll leave it at that.
I don't think you are a soldier otherwise you would have the balls to post with your nick.
Or maybe that is what (US) Soldiers are, just a bunch of Anonymous Cowards.
Under the new agreement, that increases to a range of 20 to 33 percent.
If my calculator informs me correctly. 33% of 0 Dollars is still........... 0 Dollars.
I was a layer in this case I would ask just for the 31 M Dollars and leave the building.
I'm working on a helpdesk but did some little Notes Developement aside.
Every week management would create 1 word document for every contractor with the working hours and sent it of to the agencies. Time consuming for management and a lot of big mails for the agencies.
I was asked if I could make something in Lotus Notes that would automate this.
My first idea was, contractor enters in hours, manager signs it and text e-mail is send to agencies. Management loved it so I started to develop and showed them the end result.
They were happy but would like to have to have the working hours directly imported from our phone system. Great!, no problem. I only had to re-write half of the code, find a way to extract the data from the telephone system, confert it into a format that notes was able to import, etc.
When that was finished they came up with another change, and again and again and again.
What could have been a few weeks work (doing other work aside), lasted almost a half year.
I learned the hardway to setup a development contract between you and your client.:)
I'm working on an internal helpdesk of a big IT firm and they are using all MS office. The best moments are when you have a user who is unable to open their own Word/exel/whatever files in MS office.
I ask them to send the file to me, open them in OO and save them as doc, xl. Problem solved.
Ofcourse I don't forget to mention how I did it and provide a link to the OO website.
Browser: Opera, Mozilla, etc. etc.
Email Client: Eudora, etc.
Media Player: QuickTime, DivX etc.
Your idea is great except for one thing.
IF I want to use Mozilla, I WANT to remove IE (and not just the shortcuts).
IF I want to use Eudora, I WANT to remove Outlook.
Etc, etc.
Yes, you can use other applications then the apps that come with MS. But you can't really remove/un-install these apps.
No the current US policy is to sell weapons to terrorist (Bin Laden, war against USSR and Hoessein war again Iran). And then attack because the have WMD.
The Notes 6.5.1 Beta runs under wine.
And Notes will be webbases in the future. With the help of java applets, you will be able to use Notes via your browser. There will not be a native Linux client for notes. But the Lotus chief is a big OSS fan and wants all lotus products to work with linux.
You can't switch on a channel without somebody getting shot, even the news channels now show dead bodies in full color.
It is about time that we drop the legal age for soft porn movies to 12 and make programs/movies with violence 18+.
Or it is time for some familie value sessions, but he, the parents are at work 60 hours a week, no can do.
In the first 150 days after the release of Windows 2000," he said, "there were 17 critical vulnerabilities. For Windows Server 2003, there were four. For Red Hat Linux 6, they were five to ten times higher."
And what happens after the first 150 days. If you have a look at the Microsoft Update Catalog, you find 24 Critical Updates for 2003 Standard Server.
For Windows 2000 RTM, there are 77 Critical updates and 5 Advanced Security Updates.
So maybe Linux (Redhat) has got more holes in the first 150 days, but they are solved after that. While for Windows we have just started counting.:)
Having a laptop with a 48000rpm HD I can tell you that the only thing it kills is my HD.
So if I use a blank CD/DVD to backup my documents, photos, etc. can I ask for a tax refund?

You can!
Just buy the new Mac Mini and you get a free copy of Tiger!

But Notes 5.5 (? not sure) and 6 support Mozilla browsers. IBM has done a lot of work together with the Mozilla guys to fix this.
The windows here have been transparent as long as I know.
I only wish there was something to block the light that comes through these windows.
Yeah right. I wouldn't even download these songs when I would get money for it.
I checked out emusicgear which looks to be connected to Contois. But I can't find a musicplayer on their site. Yes, they have some software recording stuff but no "iTunes".

Ofcourse, downloading a browser for free and use it legally, is no fun at all.
You are obviously not a real h4x0r!

I wouldn't call reading e-mail with Outlook a BIG plus.
Can I use mozilla/any other mail client to read my Hotmail account offline??

So I have remove the exact amount of text that I want to add to a file?
IF I want to use Mozilla, I WANT to remove IE (and not just the shortcuts).
