That's because the G4 in its current state cannot support a faster bus (hence the abstraction of the DDR memory from the system bus). The 970 will fix this problem (and so would the G4 7457-RM, but that's still vapor at this point).
IANAL, but I think the issue is Dilution of trademark. That's why Xerox doesn't want you to say "I'm going to Xerox these papers" and Kleenex wants you to say "I'm goign to get a tissue" instead of "I'm going to get a Kleenex." Once a word becomes part of the common language, it cannot be trademarked. However, they have no legal authority to keep you from using it or to keep people from putting it in the dictionary (Since Xerox and Kleenex are in the dictionary, but listed as trademarks).
v50 had that keychain bit for encrypted and passworded sites. It's always been there. I think he's referring to Safari acting like Chimera in the way that it uses the Keychain as a password manager for forms, which has yet to be implemented in Safari.
I find the fact that they did not say what OSes they compared to be very... suspect. What about Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and other open source OSes that have Open Source TCP/IP implementations in their kernels? Since they did not say what OSes are being used...
"Reasoning declined to disclose which operating systems it compared with Linux, but said two of the three general-purpose operating systems were versions of Unix."
How lame. For all we know, they could have tested the Amiga OS, Mac OS 9, Windows 3.1, A/UX, and NeXTStep! Other than this, the article is pretty vague and does not seem to give me much meat on the subject, nor a link to the study (you have to go through some forms and give up personal info to get it at www.reasoning.com).
My girlfriend has been diagnosed with Asperger's (although it's probably a faulty one) and I probably fit the description too. However, to me a lot of stuff that one could attribute to Asperger's could also be socially created (nature vs. nurture here), which I think is how this sort of stuff grows in a person. Starts out small, but begins to snowball.
The site's already timing out. I like the back button, and any method to improve it (like the nice contextual menus that appeared in NS4 and IE4) would be a boon to my productivity. The article is the most scientific explanation of the "Back" button ever. However, some of the stuff they talk about sounds a lot like a function cured by Apple's SnapBack feature in Safari.
Unless they've got very, very fast burners in the back with pre-labeled discs, this seems kinda hard to do "moments after" the concert.
Besides, why not just enjoy the memories you just gained from the concert? Do you really need to reminisce about something that just happened a moment ago?
The best BBS door ever had to have been Hacker for the Amiga CNet bulletin board system. Buy new terminals, virii, and modems and rise to be the ultimate hacker. There were takeoffs of this on the PC BBS side, but they never seemed to capture the spirit of Hacker for me.
You could hack other user's machines and take their money, virii, etc. Was quite fun! If only someone ported it and made it into an online multiplayer game. That would rock.
Artisan? Sony just came out with it, discontinuing it so quickly would be ceding an important market (color nut graphic designers like me who demand absolute color) to LaCie (I have an Electron19Blue III). Aside from the fact that it costs more than the 21 inch LaCie w/ Blue eye for the same package, I don't see the advantage, but it's still an important option as people are familiar with the Sony name.
You could play Return to Castle Wolfenstein, be a medic, and choose not to shoot anyone (even though you can) and just revive people and give out health packs.
You know, if they used every exchange and every number in an area code, you'd have 10 million numbers per area code. There's a thousand area codes. That makes 10 billion phone numbers in the US/Canada country code!
Now, I know why we can't use every area code and every exchange, etc, but really - isn't 10 billion phone numbers enough?
Probably like how 4.6 billion IP addresses aren't enough (then again, that's for the whole world).
Also, as for the +1, I've always had to use it when dialing "long distance" numbers in my own area code (IE dialing a Westfield exchange in the 413 area code as opposed to a Pittsfield or Lenox exchange). I think that's something required by the phone system. Try dialing a non-local exchange of your area code without the 1 and the phone will angrily tell you to dial the number with a 1 and the area code.
Apple does this with pretty much every one of their apps, and their website has a feedback section where you could send feedback on most anything they do.
And they listen, many bugs and issues reported on the feedback page on OS X and other products are fixed promptly and acknowledged in release notes.
Apple records lawsuit still ring a bell? IIRC, in the 80's, Apple records (the Beatles' record company) sued Apple Computer on trademark infringement because the Apple IIgs had these super duper audio functions (a nice Ensoniq synth chip, much better than even the Atari ST). I remember most of it, but I'm not an exact source, so it's not a good idea to take my word as canon.
I'm having a hard time finding a good article summarzing it, if someone can provide one I'd be grateful because I need to make sure I'm on the up and up.
"Final Cut Pro is very nice, but it is unfortunately tied to proprietary hardware. I'll stick with the AVID."
AVID is tied to proprietary hardware too. Why do you think it costs so damn much?

Windows XP's built in video drivers do not support OpenGL. You need to use manufacturer's drivers to attain OpenGL support.

Wow, such an agonizingly clear statement of my character. I bow down to you and your thoughtful commentary.
Perhaps that is the point. Heh. Oops. *thwaps self*
The XBox would be a nice media player, yes, but wouldn't this sort of take sales away from MS Media Center machines?

I Know he never said it. I was giving him the actual wording that started.

I believe you are thinking of the following:

You could play Return to Castle Wolfenstein, be a medic, and choose not to shoot anyone (even though you can) and just revive people and give out health packs.
But how could you improve bread?
We had that whole "sliced" thing years ago, they have yet to implement something better.
"Anyone else remember typing in games from magazines?"
Yup. In basic AND machine language. You had to pay extra to get the games on a floppy disk. Ah, memories.

Yeah, but doesn't Avid require add-in boards for its effects and other things? It was the hardware that made Avid Xpress cost $10K, methought.
"Final Cut Pro is very nice, but it is unfortunately tied to proprietary hardware. I'll stick with the AVID." AVID is tied to proprietary hardware too. Why do you think it costs so damn much?
Actually, the Taskbar was ripped off of NeXT's dock (which was created in the mid 80's). The dock in OS X is just an evolution of the NeXT dock.
