quite true! We all know marijuana is addictive, but it leaves the system so gradually that withdrawal is naturally accomplished. Subjectively It is not very addictive, however, no one knows what having it taken away all at once is like! My opinion: fairly psychologically addictive, to those prone to addiction. And I have no problem with that whatsoever.
"Well, no, since the functions you would want to feed the result to would just as well accept such values, allowing you to continue with them as if they were normal values. (Of course you should still be aware of the differences, as they can be both harmful and useful.)"
..and you'd be wrong. It was on vaio's and other win laptops long before the first apple laptop with it. You seem to remember... what ever you want to remember, of course!
....and now we can clearly show: taxes from the government help redistribute wealth accumulated through automation. Automation will DEMAND redistribution, or we will all starve in the midst of plenty.. which is a pretty stupid thing to do just to make one person obscenely rich.
i have to pop in here - as much as I like flamboyism (fanboy+flame, lol) - i have to say that ONLY apple took a psychological view of the UI. It's not the hardware (multitouch - capacitive - who cares?) but that SOMEONE finally fixed the fat-finger curse, even though people had been bitching about it for years. Sure ANYONE could do it - only apple did - and I question the intelligence of coders-at-large to miss the obvious that apple has capitalized on!
oh yes - make a better tomorrow with your xboxes, my benevolent applied-sciences overlord!

what the hell is that non-sense? Zero point? really? As much as the guy found a trippy way to produce flame, i doubt it has ANYTHING to do with this discussion.
I think, when people say the UI is triumph, they are referring to two things. One is that the UI is OpenGL composited and thus feels very solid. Two is the lack of really, really mind numbing stupidity like un-re-sizeable dialogs (as in the control panel or connect-network-drive UI in windows) and dumb-ass button choices like "yes-no" not "verb-cancel".
Honestly, OSX IS a triumph... only when you compare it to windows. That may be damning with faint praise, but it's still praise:)
I program extremely well on it. i'm a professional python developer who's used OSX+TextMate for the last 6 years, and would not switch away unless under duress. I REALLY like the key binding to moving the cursor around and have built up a great reflex memory for it. Perhaps that your problem, simply reflex memory. Understandable. I have a really hard time with windows based keyboards when I use a "real" pc - but no such issues in a VM because the VM keyboard is mapped to the apple one. Just an opposing view.
SO TRUE. however, they will never give us a decent "product", because you don't know what their "product" IS. They sell ADVERTISING. What did you THINK it was all about??
Privacy is not dead. What we have is the failure of open-source distribution engines to provide a way to interact socially... in private. What is Facebook more then some storage and ssh-sessions between friends? Is it as easy as using Facebook? why not - Facebook is just a freaking email thread and a picture viewer! Privacy is down, but not out!
as an average slash dotter (here since 2004ish, degree in computer science, UNIX aficionado, i must disagree. If you add quicksilver (or spotlight search in a pinch) then OSX is the best environment for productive coding IMHO - so there goes that idea!
that's a weird statement. The only reason you need a mac to "run anything" is to run software that requires... a mac. So how exactly does that make mac's good? (disclaimer: i love osx)
Are you NUTS? A full 3D course work for biology, MATH (did i say MATH, not LOUD ENOUGH!), geology, etc. would be awesome! You're quite the curmudgeon, and, I suppose, unaware that for some people, a picture is worth a thousand words.
you're lying and you know it. that is TOTAL exaggeration to presume that inhalers alone have any effect and their usefulness IS proven. Inhalers aren't destroying your ozone layer - your extremism is destroying people. Im all for alternatives to CFCs -that DONT REQURE A DOCTOR. A doctor means cost (as much as 200$ a visit for the "40" dollar inhaler), lack of privacy, lack of access around the clock, and above all, you playing with lives (yes lives) to make some roundabout point that barely applies. For all the uses of CFC's, inhalers must be the LEAST impacting. No one is messing. I reiterate - fuck you.
gee, one you can count, the other you can't. And by the way, as an asthma sufferer, fuck you. Try sleeping when breathing through a straw, see how it feels. This is a money grab by those with a prescription pad. Otherwise, why not produce Ephedrine OTC inhalers with environmentally friendlier gasses? Oh right, money.
here's a novel idea - why are albuterol inhalers (I've had them for 20 years now) prescription at all? they want to do this? MAKE ALBUTEROL OVER THE COUNTER!
Have them stand together and execute a "program" as if each of them are "utilities". Something like getting an apple onto the teachers table, but each person does one thing and one thing alone. Then let them have fun seeing what they can figure out to do - so long as they still only do that one thing. This isn't about "code" it's about a way of thinking!
your shitting me - apple is not just a hardware company. They - you know - change, man. and are part one or the other - but my post is quite a bit broader then apple. Money given for services not rendered is a waste. You can even say the recipients received a service - and it's still a waste because the services they received cost nothing - but the money they paid did cost. If neitherside has done anything for the money except clone information, where the hell is the value?

a) they don't cause significant damage. Obvious: ozone layer is not widening. b) if they want to do this MAKE ALBUTEROL OTC!
here's a novel idea - why are albuterol inhalers (I've had them for 20 years now) prescription at all? they want to do this? MAKE ALBUTEROL OVER THE COUNTER!
that really stretches things.. really, if you don't have anything original to troll about, maybe give it rest?

it's a broader post then just apple - but you can choose to read it that way. Sure i can tell you. Just walk into this dark alley with me... [bait]
