This doesn't hurt clear channel one little bit. They wanted this fine, to get anti-bush Howard Stern off the air. See, clear channel is chummy with GWB, and now they open the floodgates for fines on Viacom, Stern's main network. Clear Channel takes some pennies out, hands it to the FCC - The FCC completely doggystyles Viacom - Howard is gone, Clear Channel gets more listeners. What a nice world.
I can't wait to get GWB outta office and be done with these Christian Right Wing lunatics. They should all be in jail.
How was this modded interesting? If something feels slower - it is slower. I have 2 identical machines, one with windows 2000 the other with Red Hat 8 (which has even less bloat than Fedora). The Windows machine is absolutely faster at UI than Red Hat. My desktop looks nicer in Red Hat, but I'm not some power user who rolled his own desktop. Out of the box, UI speed is very different. Maybe the KDE team should look at how OS X renders UI with the GPU.
I immediately looked at the refurb section to see what's tasty. They have the dual 2.0 at the same price as the new one, so I don't think they've changed those prices yet. I also looked at still-available G4 Power Macs and they are completely overpriced. $1774 for a dual G4 1.5? When I can get a dual G5 for 200 more? Pu-Lease.
I'm surprised that the 2 new offerings from Apple were simply put out on the web without any Steve Jobs fanfare. I like it when Steve shows it first, he allows into his RDF. I guess overall it's not the update I was hoping for, the video card should have been upped as well.
I think it's pretty safe to say we're gonna have an all new iMac at WWDC. It's the other upgrade everyone's been waiting for. Aluminum iMac? We'll see.
Quick! Everybody boycott Slashdot! They run Microsoft ads and stories on Microsoft Technologies! Run! Don't you see how they turned all Slashdotters into unhuman anti-linux zealots! Run!
Sounds like a bunch of hot air to me. If MS wants to run an ad with their (biased) study of TCO vs Linux, let them. Trust the readers to be smarter than that. Linux represents choice and freedom, not censorship or religion.
The high end PC that you buy today will be worthless in 5 years. Ever priced out a 5 year old hummer? It's not the same thing. PC's dont hold any resale value past the first few months. Cars can actually be more expensive in time. Try the resale percentage of an all-original 68 camaro, versus an all original 1998 alienware PC. It'n not a valid comparison.
I'd prefer to build a $1000 every year for 3 years than a $3000 PC today that will be worth $200 at most in 3 years.
You don't talk to teachers enough - these kids's parents are irresponsible jerks, and I don't accept that kids should get screwed because they were unlucky enough to be born to bad parents. If all parents did their job this wouldn't be an issue. As the book (thats our topic) states, food doesn't have to be bad for you, not even fast food. And it can be cheap and good, and made in ways that don't harm society. The school cafeteria can make better food, they can get rid of the big macs and everyone wins. Right now kids are stuck between shit parents and shit school policies. The shit policies can be changed. The parents - that's a whole other issue.
Read the book...Coca Cola and Pepsi and Burger King striking deals with elementary schools, selling kids Whoppers for lunch in the cafeteria (hey the school sells it, it must be good for me!). As adults we take responsibility, but the book doesn't hide its disgust as the industry preys on kids, all while school administrators look the other way because the school gets badly needed cash.
The author of Fast Food Nation actually says many times that he likes fast food, but the system that produces your meal at McDonalds depends on horrible things - the cheapest meat quality (you don't want to know what they feed cattle - it includes dead animals from the shelters OK now I told you), the mistreated illegal immigrants cutting your beef in horrible conditions, etc.
Not all fast food is bad, that's the other part of the book - learn from In and Out Burger - fast food can be tasty and socially responsible, and cheap at the same time. One of the best books I ever read.
Google "startcop.zip" - this is an old program I have on every windows computer I use. It lets you disable any stuff you don't want on startup. very handy and free. You'd be surprised how many programs lurk on startup - and Apple (itunes, quicktime) apps are always found in there.
This might be the case for you, but for me OS X changed the way I work. I'll give you an example - Expose. At work I use Windows 2000 and Linux, and damnend if not always moving the mouse to the hot corner I set up for expose.
This is a pretty cool hobby project and you could get some work done - but there's a reason I use Cubase SX on Windows 2000 and on my Powerbook - It gets the job done reliably, every time. I record 3-4 tracks at once with an external box connected through USB or firewire on the PB, then switch to Windows for the heavier processing (rams cheaper on the PC).
Still I don't knock the Linux / OSS apps, last time I posted about Audacity I got a great response from the lead developer. Keep up the good work and someday maybe I'll trade in to a Linux solution. But I'm just not quite ready yet!
"However, Murad said that because diesels release higher amounts of nitrogen oxides, or NOxs, than gasoline cars, the E320 CDI cannot be sold in the five states with the most-stringent emissions standards, including the large markets of California and New York."
It might be cheaper for you, but anyone who's taken an econ 101 course can tell you that diesel is "cheaper", not cheaper.
The average American knows what we're headed for, but will sit in an idling, guzzling SUV anyway, because solving the energy issue is somebody else's problem. Think about it, if we ran out of fossil fuels tomorrow, it would create incredible incentive to get alternative energy sources up and running, immediately. Reason: profit. Until then, the grand majority of people aren't going to bother using anything else.
When you sample, you must have permission, and you're usually gonna be paying the artist/publishing company royalties. And I don't consider rappers"artists", I consider the artists. NWA changed my life.

OS X can only use quartz extreme on an AGP video card. It's using software rendering on your box.

Dude, buy a new PC...seriously.
I know this is off-topic, but let me say thanks to you for providing such a great website. It's brought me, uh, countless hours of enjoyment.
Actually Al Gore did some voiceover work for the film but it was all deemed kosher.

Who knows what Tiger (10.4) has up its sleeve?
Those aren't the recordings I'm working on. Our current stuff is coming out real nice. Give me a couple months and check back!

Here's hoping that his cellmate took a steady supply of penis enlargement pills and herbal viagra.
We don't want all our energy coming from a one hundred square mile area. Maybe 100 one-mile areas. One nuclear bomb would render us without energy.

This movie looks interesting. Where's the bittorrent?
