a more accurate analogy might not involve locks at all. you opened the door for them, and invited them (for a small fee) to try to 'steal' as much stuff as they could from within your 'secured area'. when your secured area is not as secure as you thought, your guest is now a criminal.
Gawd! you people. this is pure and simple Time Cube Markup Language.
If you can't understand what it does, you are undoubtedly too stupid to ever use it. just continue on using your "web", luddites.
everyone knows it's a crime to be medically licensed in NJ. what are you thinking?

OSS Guy: Hey...did you hear about that kiddie porn software M$ wrote? Average Joe: Ya...saw it on CNN. Law enforcement--blahblahblah kiddie porn...opensouce...blahblahblah OSSG: ya..Microsoft...kiddieporn software...Its an interesting endevour for Microsoft to be investing its time into Kiddie porn...kiddie porn. AJ: isn't it supposubly opened sources...or something? OSSG: they say open source a lot...but not really. its really more interesting to think about MICROSOFT getting involved with KIDDIE PORN. Microsoft. Kiddie porn. kiddie porn. AJ: ya...microsoft.....kiddie porn....[drool] microsoft.
i was in germany this past march and was given a CAB (cola and beer) in a can. while i tried not to appear too disgusted to my gracious hosts, i pulled the libation to my lips.
not too bad. dunno if i could put down 6 of them on a sunday afternoon watching my team. but, it was not as bad as it sounds. and, from a marketing POV it woulnt have the 'pussy-factor' Zima seemed to radiate, IMO.
you seem to skew the phrase 'going back [sic] computer every time to change a song' with a negative tone....but, in a wireless household, with multiple laptops, my powerbook is much more powerful than a remote could ever be.
i dont have to fumble around with a 'dumb' remote (in the sense that there is not feedback from the remote) and try to read an led from across the room. i just pop open my powerbook--that is at my left arm typically anyway-- and find a song i want to listen to.
the only problem i have with this particular device is i already do this---i hardwired the audio output of my cube in the other room to my home theater system ages ago.
with remote desktop i can control itunes very easily from the comfort of my deeply ass-indented couch.
all your bass are belong....

A cyborg could, say, take pictures of hostile police officers during a political demonstration and instantly post them on the Web -- to spur others to join in the protest, perhaps, or to simply provide alternative documentation of the scene.
i dont know for sure either. but, based upon my 2 years of observation of a replay 4000 unit, it appears that commercial advance has an algorithm that evaluates the 'fade to blacks' between scenes.
given that a commercial break is usually a series of quick '30-second scenes' that go dark between, it seems to 'know' that a block of these can be classified as a commercial break.
there are several shows that seem to be able to trip up its scheme: law and order and '24' both seem to come back from commercial breaks to 1 or 2 'quick-cut' scenes. this will cause commercial advance to jump a couple of scenes into the program content. i usually just try to remember to turn off commercial advance when watching these programs--i've gotten pretty adept at tapping the default 'skip ahead' button (~30 seconds) a couple of times along with the 'jump back' (~7 seconds) button to get thru the commercial blocks of these programs.

The percentage of Safari Users that would use autocomplete is low at best... it seems that the only people that are wanting this feature which causes interface clutter (eventhough minimal, it is is evasive) are the only ones posting, maybe several thousand. It also bloats code.
Other than a few bugs, in my opinion, the only thing Safari needs is tabs. Everyone that I do business with uses tabs. Personally, I list on eBay; for this, tabs is great when listing or when paying for something online.
I deal with 100's of customers a month and not one has wondered why Safari doesn't have autocomplete. ALL, miss tabs - some want password/keychain interaction.
yeah arcades are dead. back in the early 80s as a pre-teen i made a concerted effort to save my quarters and get mom or someone else to take us to the mall to play games.
why, 'cause we didnt have 'em at home.
i still like gaming as a 30something. graduated thru NES, SNES, N64, PS1 and play PS2 and XBOX now. do i go to the arcades anymore? hell no. all my quarters go into the titles i can play at home.
but, there is another factor in the equation since i plunked in quarter after quarter. namely, the LAN party. i never had those when i was a kid. but, today that's all i hear about.
and, rather than having to lug around your 'box' and coordinate an empty house, dorm floor, enough TVs, and powerstrips why not have them pre-setup in arcades.
i realize this may be a bit OT, as MS is reportedly talking about making real arcade boxes that play xbox titles....not just putting in a bunch of xboxes. but, the hardware already supports the concept. just implement it.
its hard these days to look back through the eyes of a 12 year old. but, seems to me plunkin down a fin for 1/2 hour session (same as 1/2 hour of pool) of arcade LAN party would be schweet.

there is no way an ibook 500 feels like a pII-166. i have both of these machines. ok, i'll concede that the 500 runs a bit sluggish running osx 10.2 (which came out 12 months after the ibook 500 was EOL'd). if that's the game you wanna play, then install XP on the pII-166 and tell me how it runs--oh yeah, cant run XP on that old thing....hmmmm
I remember it like it was yesterday- rank upon rank of students sitting behind Macs in the computer labs, forcing helpless drama students to go to the engineering labs and use windows machines to get their homework done. Countless hours lost, students failing left and right, the university computer store replacinging record numbers of worn-out Mac mice and keyboards.... The cause: Tetris. The year: 1989.
even tho the article explicitly states it is the 17" imac being terminated, i believe it to be an oversight. here's why:
"The 17-inch flat-panel iMac will terminate production in June, following the same fate as the 15-inch flat-panel model, which stopped production last October, said local PC makers familiar with the matter."
the 15" imac was not terminated. it was the 15" standalone flat panel monitor. following the logic of the above statement, would it not stand to reason that the 17" flat panel monitor would 'suffer the same fate' and NOT the imac? just my $.02
we should have written off the ruskies from the get go. this whole project finally got going in earnest right about the time the russian economy went through the floor.
from the beginning the U.S. was *loaning* the russians miliions and millions to hold up their end of the project. then, they have the nerve to sell *their* seats (paid for by yours truly) to the highest bidder and pocket the cash.
this has all the flavor of loaning uncle ivan the money to make rent and then seeing him throwing down vodka out of a paper bag on the corner two days later.
i'm not in favor of shitcanning the whole project. we shouldve just seen this coming for a long time and been prepared to suck up ivan's slack.
