    I might as well sell my copy of Jaguar after I upgrade. That would be just fine.

    Cool! Panther's coming out on my birthday!

    However, that's not the important part. I'm still kind of disappointed that there's no discount to people upgrading from Jaguar; I bought Jag in April for the full $129, and I'm rather disappointed that Panther's going to make me pay again. I'm not saying that Panther should be free; Apple deserves money for all the great new features, but I wish there were at least a small discount for Jag users. Oh well.

    Can't believe you missed it.

  11. Re:Macromedia too on Adobe Releases Updated Creative Suite · · Score: 1

    Anyone seen the generated CSS layout that Dreamweaver MX 2004 puts out and care to comment? In the past autogenerated layouts from programs like these have been really crappy code, but it'd be interesting to see what the situation is like today.

    Also, it'd be interesting to compare GoLive CS's output for the same kind of thing; it'd be interesting to see how it's matured.

    Personally, I still write all my code by hand, due to the lousy HTML and JavaScript from WYSIWYG programs like GoLive and Illustrator. This may have changed by now, though.

    If the lack of virtual desktops is such a big problem, perhaps you should check out CodeTek's Virtual Desktop software. That should do what you need.

  20. Re:This isn't spyware on Using Spyware to Report Pirates? · · Score: 1

    The thing is, the same anti-theft system is acting on completely legal copies of the software as well. This seems wrong to me; software companies shouldn't assume that their customers are pirates like this. It's sort of like the "Is This Copy Of Windows Legal?" thing in Windows XP. People should be treated as innocent until proven guilty.

    Acceptable Use Policy - a document you sign that states regulations, etc. for the system/network you're part of. My school makes me sign one that disallows, for example, installing software on school computers and other stuff like that.

    From the article:
    In an ambiguous April 2001 ruling, the Federal Trade Commission said that it was "unfair or deceptive" to call a man-made diamond a "diamond," but offered no opinion on the question of calling it a "cultured diamond."

    The article also mentioned that the diamonds had to be marketed as synthetic.
