Your photos had the right meta data on them (ie; roll info from whoever digitized your film) but most of mine are personal scans and personal art. None of the meta data existed except for digital images that I took and imported using Canon's software and not iPhoto.
I agree with the reviewer, iPhoto is such a simple program, why would someone on/. need a dummies book?
Anyhnow, iPhoto needs two things badly
The ability to have hierarchical (nested) libraries
The ability to use the FS layout of files to create the above hierarchical libraries when importing
I have a massive amounts of images (no, not porn) that I have organized painstakingly using folders and importing them into iPhoto lost all of that organization. Now I have to manually create libraries and I cannot nest them.
I just hope Apple makes the brushed metal window frames optional/themeable/skinable etc. Apparently (as per a recent/. article as this one's/.'ed) they are not customizable and more importantly they are not just limited to Apple apps the way that Safari, et al is today in 10.2. All apps pick up the new look and some of us are not into that new look as much.
IAAES (I am an environmental scientist/policy analyst) and it is definitely better than fossil fuels. The thing is, if this study is correct, and that is a big if based on how little is known about hydrogen in the environment, it will slow Hydrogen adoption by increasing costs associated with it's use and through fear of creating damage to the ozone layer, thereby extending how long fossil fuels continue to remain dominant. Hydrogen (more specifically hydrogen rich fuels) is seen as the next step in portable fuel. As time has moved forward from the industrial age, the hydrogen:caron ratio in fuels has swung from being very carbon rich (wood,coal) to less carbon rich (natural gas).
I know, I found that out after I bought, ermmmm, I mean rented my first one. I swore never to get another one. The odd thing is the ring tone I have has yet to "expire".
I dare say it sounds like they just might be transfering more spectrum to private corporations...
You are correct sir! I read yesterday (here), among other things,they are looking to unload some spectrum from military use into the private sector. To the consternation of the military, of course. I love when Bush uses the military for photo ops and then screws them on benefits and crap like this.
This is what I don't get. The foam was not at a stand still when it hit. It was traveling at the same speed as the shuttle when it broke off and the difference in speed can be attributed to any change in acceleration, in this case negative, between the time it broke away and the time it hit. Obviously wind resistence is likely to be the primary cause of that deceleration but how much in the time/distance between breaking away and impact. That is why I think it was not as much an "aw shucks, we screwed up" kind of moment as others have been saying. There was reason to believe that the force would be low since the objects were both going at similar speeds. If anyone can explain where I am wrong I am happy to listen.
So, don't just sit back, point your finger, and laugh; take a good look within the open source world and see what needs fixing.
Just sit back and imagine the open source community increasing their advertising budget and running ads that the community is improving their internal "business consistency"...
Nope, I am having trouble with that one myself.
Although in all seriousness, you bring up a good point.
They don't. They just serve to gather the sheep into the herd and then voila', everyone suddenly believes that M$ is a "more customer-friendly company". I try to imagine a world without advertising and then the energizer bunny come thumping through my brain...
It may be that was the point you were trying to make, I just figured I would sharpen it up a bit.
Unfortunately under the law (US) they have every right to hold back evidence until sometime just before the trial. Their close lipped nature, given that this (the copyfight infringement) could be so easily proven, is what is fueling the speculation that their evidence is weak and they are just doing this to be bought out.
You can't. It is a twist on the tragedy of the commons and it will likely never happen. There is no reason why some form of municipal access system couldn't happen though./. has done some recent articles on them.
The problem is that the little "feature" of SMTP named forged headers is incredibly useful for people. What needs to happen is a header that can identify the server and user that sent it. But not the From: feild. This would require some combination of digital signatures and SMTP auth.
...your scenario is the complete antithesis of choice...
This is absolutely absurd. If anything it is promoting choice by providing people who would otherwise unable to choose another OS over Wintel and Mac OSX the choice of Linux. What I am suggesting does not in anyway mean that there would be a lack of an "expert" setup that provided all of the options (no matter how obscure and arcane) you would expect and demand of an open source project. In fact, it may even provide greater granularity in the setup process since it would provide enough of a simple interface to handle most non-techies and therefor allow the expert interface to blossom un-hindered. Plus, your definition of server does not fit todays world. A machine running Samba could be a server but it also could be a client as well. I think most would agree that a Win98 machine would not classify as a real server. Yet, it serves files.
This goes to the heart of the problem, people could give a shit less if it is classified as a server or client. They simply want to access their files on one computer from another computer in the other room. In other words, they want results.
It is not just the ease of installation but also the language used during that installation that is foreign to many users. Having a nice point and click interface on linux installs is a major leap forward but these still reference things like firewalls, kernels, services, protocols etc. Most people, when faced with new terms become disoriented and their frustration level rises. These setup routines have to ask users what they are looking to accomplish with their brand spanking new linux install.
Would you like to serve web pages? (Yes or No where the answer installs and configures Apache)
Would you like to share files with other users in your home/office/school? (Yes or No where the answer installs and configures Samba)
...whenever a server fails at Google, THEY DO NOTHING. They don't replace the broken machine. They don't remove the broken machine. They don't even turn it off. In an army of drones, it isn't worth the cost of labor to locate and replace the bad machines.
The electricity consumption on a modern PC is about 60-90 watts or about $25/yr for electrity. It would at least pay to have a low end staffer or an intern to go digging them out. Especially when you consider the cost in rent for a thousand dead machines. 20/rack and each rack is about a yard sq. Rent is probably a few dollars per sq foot per month. The costs just start piliing up when you factor in cooling and all of the other ancililary factors.

That's OK, even the more complicated MS programs never do the same thing twice...

- The ability to have hierarchical (nested) libraries
- The ability to use the FS layout of files to create the above hierarchical libraries when importing

Newt Gingrich I believe.
...then it's time to join the army and be all you can be, instead of some lowly schmuck tasked with the impossible.
Yeah, I would imagine after the slap on the wrist M$ got, Steve Jobs thinks he sucks too.

How about buying used?

Hmm, pardon me but I believe the proper form of that would be:
while(Sound == Obnoxious){
Axe->swing(Speaker);
}
return(Sound->Calm);

What, did you think you were posting to the message boards for GQ or Vouge?

Yes, I am not suggesting otherwise. I am simply stating the "Easy" installation path should be more like this and less like the expert path.

You know, it sounds a lot like the borg!
