Yes, OOo is a `` free full-featured office suite that runs on Mac OS X''. However, the important difference is that this port of KOffice runs natively on OS X - it does not require you to be running an X11 server.
For some people, that may not be a big deal, but most of us on OS X hate to have to use X11, and would *much* rather use native apps if we can at all avoid X11. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's an inconvenience and doesn't blend in well with the rest of the environment.
Maybe their not aiming for the high-end market. Of course they're probably not. His point, however, was that *not* having a high-end card to show off and impress people with will decrease their visiblity, among other factors, and make it harder for them to sell midrange cards, even if they are comparable to or better than similarly-midrange cards from NVidia or ATI.
If you see some truly stunning demo from NVidia or ATI on their highest-end card, you're more likely to buy from them, even if you're not shopping for a card anywhere near what you saw. It may not be completely logical, but it's true.
You're correct, but given that, does anyone know why the Objective-C Foundation Library has the following definition: typedef double NSTimeInterval; which it uses to measure all time intervals (such as in NSDate's methods)?
I'm not saying it's a good system. I'm just saying that it's better than Windows, because, while source diving may not be a desireable alternative, it is at least usually a lot better than trying to reverse engineer a protocol somehow, which is pretty much your only option on an undocumented closed-source system.
Linux may not be much better, but at least the source *is* there, so someone with a lot of time/interest/dedication can read through it and document stuff. Under Windows, if something isn't documented, there isn't even that possiblity.
Anyone got a translation of the video he's got linked? I may try if I get really bored, but if there's someone who's got experience dealing with morse, it'd prolly be a lot easier for them.
I once considered trying to write out a rough BNF definition of English... I gave up when I realized it'd be largely useless without a way to differentiate between different parts of speech, which I was too lazy to try to figure out how to do better than just a massive hand-entered database:-D
I'd actually like to nominate jEdit as being the true emacs of the GUI age. It's about as extensible, customizeable, and scriptable, and it's even BIGGER!
(It's also an awesome editor, if you have the system resources to burn ~30MB RAM on a text editor)
I don't know what exactly happened to the poster, but as someone else pointed out, recycle bin is only helpful in nice well-behaved apps. For example, I once had my text editor spaz out, lock up, and trash the source for something I was working on... recycle bin ain't going to help there.
(Luckily, I had the editor set to be making backups, which were OK)
you can't use an Apple with the windows version and vice versa
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain this is no longer true. You can't use the same iPod on both computers at once (You may even be able to do so, if it's FAT32, but I don't know), but the same iPod will work on either machine, requiring only a reformat to change
This is true, and is one of the reasons that this is indeed a potential problem, but nonetheless, for a well-designed session implementation, this should be a relatively small window of opportunity for a hacker to exploit. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that the risk isn't particularly huge, especially when you consider that, (as I understand it), this exploit only allows malicious code to access cookies from a domain that it requests, not to scan through all available cookies. In other words, hackers would have to guess a website that you have a sensitive cookie for, and then get to that site before the session expired. Possible? Sure Probable? Doubtful

XBox. Tiny Game Console. Riiiiiight....
Hey! Have you ever actually *seen* one of those airzookas? Those things are freakin' awesome! ;-)
I'm reading Stephen King's The Stand at the moment. 'nuff said.
No need to VNC - Poisoned is an OS X frontend to giFT, which can connect to the Kazaa FastTrak network.

The irony of your post, when combination with the quote he references ... it's just beautiful.

Give it up - they're out to get you, man.
I'd say C, C++, PHP, perl I know backwards and forwards.
Does anyone aside from Larry really know Perl completely?
He said subscriber, not user. I'm assuming this died before it even left the mysterious future.

Ti (Texas Instruments) calculators are quite powerful, especially the Ti-89 and above. 3D graphing, symbolic just about everything, ...

Your discman will be stolen just as easy as an ipod.
Yeah, but it will be much more cheaply replaced, and probably less likely to be stolen, as well.
