I've been working on a similar problem in my spare time for quite some time now. I needed a SVG library that was BSD-compatible, could draw any Adobe Illustrator SVG, and selectively enable or disable objects by their ID that was suitable for inclusion in a 3D game.
I couldn't find any library that fit the requirements, so I ended up writing a C++ library called Donner SVG. It is heavily based on librsvg except written with SVG DOM in mind and for minimal dependencies. It's only dependencies are Cairo, rapidxml, and libcroco, but none of libcroco's dependencies as I wrote a compatibility layer. Additionally, the renderer can be easily swapped out to eliminate the Cairo requirement.
Some notable features: - Ability to access the SVG document tree and modify it after loading an SVG. - Supports all shapes and paint server types (radial and linear gradients with stops, solid colors, and transparency). - CSS2 selector support. - Bounding box calculation.
It renders static SVGs very well, but I don't consider it to be releasable yet. My goal is to fully implement the #SVG-static feature string and use the library to implement a SVG extension for skeletal animation and inverse kinematics.
I'm willing to send a copy of the source over if anyone is interested, just contact me at "donner (at) jeffrules (dot) com". It is licensed under the LGPL as parts of it are borrowed from librsvg.
Don't use MySQL's fulltext indexes. Instead, use Sphinx (http://www.sphinxsearch.com/) which is incredibly fast and indexes your MySQL database directly. You can even query it through MySQL using a custom storage engine.
See http://dsource.org/projects/gentoo/wiki/LaymanSetu p for a portage overlay that includes DMD-bin. You have to edit the layman configuration and disable warnings about missing fields, but it works fine after that.
I guess that it depends on who you know. I know professional creative people, and companies in the creative industry (creative being design, print, and video). All but ONE use Macs. Also, where did the iPod reference come from? I don't have an iPod...
Why is everybody saying that Apple stole widgets from Konfabulator? In actuality Apple had widgets in System 6ish (I don't know the exact number) under a different name. If you want to be technical it could be said that Konfabulator stole the idea from Apple. In reality Konfabulator improved on an existing idea and Apple improved on it further.
The signs for date, meet, and f--- are amazingly similar. But the sign in question is actually done with two V-handshapes (not K's, although they are nearly identical).
Bugfixes are free. They come in point-releases which are freely downloadable.
There is new eye-candy, but also quite a few new/renovated applications _each year_. And it's not called an update. You're letting the 10.2 -> 10.3 make you think it is. From 10.2 to 10.3, there was a 30% speed improvement, as well as $80 worth of applications (available for purchase separately if you don't want to update). You're not even paying for an upgrade edition. You're getting a full-fledged copy, of which you can install over any version. So if you don't feel the need to update, wait for one that you do.
And you're not required to update. Just as you're not required to update windows.
3k is not the starting price. It starts at $2,000, and you can pimp it out from there.
Remember: you also get _much_ higher quality components. How much noise does this system make? Also compare power consumption: G5s use about 40 watts per processor, Opterons can be about 130. Would you rather run a 4 60-watt light bulbs or 2 40-watt, and still have the same amount of light?
If you want a PC as quiet as an iMac, you sacrifice speed. You can get a 1.8GHz iMac with display (which will completely obliterate a 3GHz Pentium 4), and have it run so quiet that you can't hear it.
I bought my 867 MHz powerbook 2 years ago, and it completely obliterated my 2.26 GHz Pentium 4 (which is *incredibly* noisy), and still does. And it does this all silently.
In the other forums that have already covered this, such as Mac Rumors and AppleInsider, evidence suggests that the pictures are not the iMac.
But, this can mean many things. It can be the new apple display, or a completely unannounced product. But, just as likely, it is an old display, or something photoshopped to look like something new from Apple that is not from apple at all.
It doesn't have to be. Metal can be affected by a magnetic field, even if it is not ferrous. Ferrous simply determines if it is able to hold magnetism for an extended period of time.
Personally, I like the old site better because it looks a lot more consistent.
When designing, please use anti-aliasing to prevent the choppy look. With your design, it looks very broken, but the flash version automatically makes the design look very smooth.
For your hover images, it also appears that you used a bright blue tinting, making the hover image look odd, and not match with the same look that the transparency effect in flash delivered in the original.

Interesting. I couldn't get that link to work, here is a working one:

10.4 is case sensitive, earlier versions are not. The author has probably never touched a mac.
Hah! If I made those rates I'd be a millionaire.
I'm getting a horizontal scrollbar no matter how wide I make the window.
You just made my day.
I'm in! But I sometimes misplace my decimal point.s
Other browsers can't access your password, only the application that stored them.
Do we have time?
They probably invented it. The squeaking is just a front.
It's $18,999.95 Plus Tax.
Sign language has a lot of intracacies like that:
The signs for date, meet, and f--- are amazingly similar. But the sign in question is actually done with two V-handshapes (not K's, although they are nearly identical).
Whoops.
100 GB of traffic at an average cost adds up to approx. $25. That's about one of of penis enlargement pills.

You're still dwelling on the megahertz myth.
For me:

There are mid-level stations. They're called iMacs.
