I believe that it would be more difficult to have a valid XHTML document that is as flexible as a valid XML document. The nature of self-describing data is that at any point you can add tags that bring new functionality while still maintaining a valid document, whereas you have to get a new XHTML tag ratified by the W3C.
What's more, it is a logical step to use XML, as it is the little brother of the SGML system that dominated documentation for larger companies that could afford development of a SGML system. SGML and XML even have roots implanted in products such as Adobe Designer, Adobe Illustrator, and a myriad of other vector drawing programs via SVG or PDF in the case of Adobe Designer.
What's more, Apple use XML (though has defected a bit in the latest release for some of its property lists) as the cornerstone of its customization, so supported it in their little APSL gem that is TextEdit is logical. Apple's Pages and Keynote also XML as the holder of their data.
I don't know if it would be more efficient, but it would probably be invalid or not have as good a look, unless you have a little Eric Meyer in your machine making CSS that can accomplish what you can with a commericial XML product.
Sure was, and by not being able to pirate the OS they really mean not being able to pirate the OS to non-Apple hardware. In all likelihood all intel builds of OS X will work on all intel macs for perpetuity without a serial number, like all client versions of OS X. It just means PC users are not getting a free ride.
I think that anything that makes a sysadmin's job more difficult should be reconsidered, as it requires a sysadmin to be more effective (which is uncalled for). Everyone who has ever worked in a job that is not as a sysadmin should know that making a sysadmin's life easier is way more important than the thousands of people they represent. Everyone knows that in any company that the IT department can be counted on being the top dollar earners. I have already made a list of excuses for my lack of efficacy, and this update that I had all of the computers automatically install has just taken precedence over some of the best excuses I have used to shirk off actual work.
The last security update was almost exclusively an apache update, and a complete x.x.1 update comes if you did not run that update and did run 10.3.7.
The bulk of the security updates for mac os x involve venerabilites in open source components that the open source community hath already patched.
If you can get passed the Amish on the way to Orville and end up near the Smucker's headquarters you are more than welcome to hand out PB&J's to the people of Orville. They are pretty self-reliant folk, with both Smucker's and Smith's dairy in the same town, they are ready for WWIII. They have all of the Peanut Butter, jams and preserves, and enough milk to wash it down until armeggedon.
There are no resource forks in that directory (just a Data Fork), so the rsrc flag is redundant. It still ends up a pain to get it back into iTunes or elsewhere in a hurry with any degree of accuracy. Browsing those folders with hidden folders visible does the same thing, and doing a find and chalking them up into iTunes or WinAmp also just as good, ditto is redundant and only 5% of us run macs. If it is a non-boot device I would just use hdiutil or Disk Utility if you don't have the desire to fire up Terminal.app
I ended up running linux on it for free, so I guess microsoft must have got me hooked on cheap linux machines. Next thing I knew I was giving Wal-Mart money for $200 machines and turning tricks for Lindows.
I recently purchased 2 well equipped dual g5 top end powermacs with 3gb ram each, and also 5 Dells that were bottom of the barrel (integrated everything with celeron processors). The 5 Dells were just slightly cheaper than the 2 powermacs and are replacing two year old Dells rather than four year old powermacs.
The heatsink is not just there to be cutesy. It actually has dramatically thinner fins than a normal pc heatsink that if bumped can bend and impede there performance, much like an airconditioner. When you are dealing with such and expensive heatsink one is smarter to put a cover on it. Adding a G5 logo is a bit overboard, but that is what can be expected. It is virtually identical to the heatsinks on the XServe and Powermacs. I think spending all the money to put in a liquid cooled heatsink in order to maintain design is well worth the money. It is either an expensive heatsink or twice as thick a machine, which would you prefer if you were attempting to create a machine that produces a small footprint.
Apple can certainly do wrong, but I will still pay for it in favor of having something that outperforms the competition and requires less maintenance. If I did not have such a reliable and easy to maintain machine I might not have time to troll slashdot.
My mac zealot comment would not be about the heatsink, but more something like "Does your PEE CEE have 64-bit support and graphical unix with commercial support and commercial applications?" or something smart-alecky like "Does that PEE CEE come pre-installed with Worms or do you have to plug it into the internet first?" I know flaimbait doesn't justify more flamebait, but I had to say it.
again, that is the kind of thing a mac user would use bbedit or subethaedit to do. Why worry about command line grep when any text editor worth it's salt has regular expressions built in? I don't see any since in switching to the terminal to do something I would do in a text editor. Whether or not one can use the command line equivilent does not make it any better if you are accomplishing the same thing. I never have found myself hindered by the fact that I rarely need to use command line tools.
the updated did renew fresh 5/22/04 binaries of the SystemUIServer and many of the graphics card drivers. if you in the windows world don't think a graphics card driver won't improve performance you can just run out and buy an new box with stock ms drivers to compensate.
i think that the DRM that apple is offering is being misinterpreted. you can convert the AAC however you want as part of the broad spectrum of rights you receive with it, which is not a misfunction of the DRM. you still won't be using an iTMS AAC from the internet that your are not authorized to use, so it is fuctioning marvelously.
just as you can rip your own cd into the format you choose you can use your AAC's in the same way. it is a great format with excellent rights.
i think with the AAC you still do better than you would to buy a cd, rip it yourself with whatever you are under the impression to be the best format for your choices and use it. an iTunes Music Storebought AAC is not simply a ripped cd, but a conversion from the digital master, often times remastered to sound better than the same selection that is offered at your local music store. you may be slightly better off to use a cd if you never plan on using it in a compressed format or for some reason do not want to use either macinbytes or windows platforms, but otherwise i think AAC is the way to go.
you are very right. when steve jobs was preaching about fair use he went to great lengths to explan that you received a broad scope of rights with the music that are virtually identical to buying a cd. unlimited ipods, two computers, unlimited cd burns (must reorder playlist every ten cd burns, should not affect anyone). i suppose there would really never be any sense in ripping again, considering you could burn at as many times as you want, back up the actually AAC and burn it anytime you please, just as if you own the cd. in that respect it is much better, considering if you scratch a cd you end up with a scratched cd if you did not back it up beforehand and are out $12-20 bucks.
there is no circumvention of the DRM at all. it works great and prevent you from downloading the AAC's that apple offers. you will be hard pressed to find them, but on the same token you and a friend could team up on a huge arsenal of music and share the cost without the DRM getting in your way. broad spectrum of rights with the AAC and iTMS, much better than whatever windows had before in Rhapsody or whatever else was out. i would not use Real or WiMP codecs even if my iPod could take them or i could somehow circumvent DRM to get them there. they sound awful and AAC sounds worlds better than mp3, which is what your best bet would have been before iTMS came out.
i have read about the g5's speed too many times this week. everything i am seeing is saying that it is faster for integers, but nothing else necessarily. i am also read on the haxial article link through/. earlier that integers were important and the SPEC results were not considering those, and as a coder that was important. i guess the only way to find out would be for me to buy one, which i probably will. if it is a total bust i am sure if nothing else i will not have to worry about choppy porno clips.
life could not be good enough to me that i would get first post, even if it is not on the main page, say it ain't so.
my big gripe is not handling gzip enabled websites like mozilla and camino do, making for it to be the slowest of the three on websites that handle it.
safari enhancer, lordofthecows.com , has a workaround for the minimum font size last i used it. i have minimum fonts up for the download window and for browsing.
if you open directory access and enable bsd configuration files you can block most off-site images (i.e. advertisement, avatars and outside links that eat bandwidth) with a standard hosts file.
pith helmet is very nice, but i prefer to use a standard hosts file, plus it is really nerdy and unixy so the slashdot mods all have to set up hosts files all the time in order to tell there friends the built the box from scratch.:)
i think it is certainly slashdot material, despite the absence of hyping the X11 that will be in it. the upgrade fee is significant, but nothing like m$ considering the absence of serial numbers and other mitigating factors that make it a really easily attainable option to anyone.
there are some big differences graphically and at the core, if nothing else in that this release will bring native applications that are based on existing x11 applications. slashdot is pretty late and pretty conservative on this i think, but that is because they actually have a good legal department and are not as easily shut down as the rest of the rumors sites, who are flailing in the light of yesterday and todays posts.
it could just be my nerdiness, but i see huge differences from those screens if nothing else in the process viewer, which does not look like a bad version of top anymore. also, the skin is completely new and worth note considering apple being a graphical os to most. it is not a significant core upgrade, but a user experience upgrade. a promising one at that that may be a 64-bit native version before 10.4. looks big to me, i was wondering when/. would do the g5 shots or the the panther shots and was surprised they took this long. 4osx had them long before. i reckon/. did its homework on this one and cowboy neal wasn't just having a bored day.
Give it to a child you know and them start stealing his games that his mom buys him. also, when you are playing the child you can fiddle with the lighting and make it so he can't see the screen while you take him to school in some head-to-head action with the gameboy advance link cable.

i don't blame them for not wanting others to boot their OS. they put nothing for security on the OS to prevent piracy, but they put something on the machine. if your machine is too old or too new to run an OS that you do not have free legitimate rights to you will not be able to run it in most cases, alot more secure than a serial number
it is not like we see cheap SPARC or MIPS systems out there either, gotta go to the big boys for the big bad systems, anyone can make an INTEL box.
i am keeping my fingers cross that he can continue with his work. apple is looking for a coder for the iTunes Music store for windows, Justin Frankel would be perfect. only to switch him over to the darkside now.

Microsoft loses money on the deal, everyone is happy.

Stuffit Expander opens .hqx files without a problem, WinZip and WinRAR should also handle them fine.
better still, assuming that you are not using it for testing internet explorer, use 98 lite
Exactly, both a textbook GNAA post and also wrong. The link to the kbase article mentions mac os x 10.2.8 as one of the covered operating systems.
Shallax is the name of the xbox gentoo distribution, which has been out for several months, if not approaching a year.
