It was the first thing I changed after getting my mac. I have not needed to login to my admin account besides the first time I set it up. When I need to do something that requires the privileges, it just asks for the user/pass.
That's exactly what an admin account does. Are you sure you know what the hell you're talking about?
iTunes is touted as a music management program. Most of us have a well structured Music folder.
Then don't click "Keep iTunes Music folder organized". You can organize your music folder however you want.
What if you buy DRM free MP3 music online ? Or free music available from indie bands ? You should be adding them manually to the iTunes library ? I don't think so.
After you get the music, drag it to iTunes. It takes literally one second. I don't understand what the problem is.
Actually science still can't explain where DNA came from or for that matter science cannot explain matter.
Which is why I personally don't believe in matter.
I would love if Evolutionists would reconsider their views but for them it is the Holy Grail and a religion
Damn scientists and their unwavering, dogmatic belief in whichever theory is best supported by the evidence!
I don't dispute evolution as in "Survival of the fittest" and change over time and adaptations. I reject it as an explanation for the source of all matter, dna, and life. It doesn't tackle those subjects yet you always see those lumped into evolutionary discussions.
You stand brave against that strawman! I also reject evolution as an explanation for continental drift, tornados, and the northern lights. Take THAT, scientific dogma!
A Wow Expansion pack makes the slashdot frontpage? Someone (indirectly) complaining gets modded flamebait? Are there really that many WoW players here on slashdot???
But merely possessing a copy does not make you a rightful "owner of a copy," just like possessing stolen goods does not make you the owner of those goods.
Yes of course it does, otherwise you'd have to keep a license for every object you own to prove you're the rightful owner. Possessing goods makes you the rightful owner, except if they're stolen. Just like possessing a copy of a program makes you the rightful owner of that copy, except if it's a violation of copyright. GPL programs are distributed freely by their copyright holders. You can't give someone something to use and then tell them they have no right to use it.
A goddamn idiotic and immature rebranding, that is. The grandparent poster was suggesting doing it right.
Why is it a goddamn idiotic and immature rebranding? And what would doing it right entail? Sure, it's a dumb name but as he said, just call it "Web browser" in the UI.
Abuse the rules? Umm the contract stipulated the charges, its not ATTs fault the customer ran up time and got an automated bill for 19 grand.
They advertised 'Stay connected whether you are traveling across town, the U.S., or the world' but hid deep in the contract that it'll cost you 100 times more. You have a strange definition of abuse if that doesn't qualify.
Exactly, if you don't want a full-time job reading through fine-print you're perfectly free not to have phone service, cable TV, rent a house, buy a car, or install any software. If you didn't see the clause about forfeiting your first-born, it's your own fault.
GPL is like herpes. An example: if you use a GPL library with one line of code (LOC) in it and compile it into your one billion LOC application then your bigger application gets the GPL herpes virus and will then have to be released as GPL (if and when you choose to release it).
Once you get herpes you can never get rid of it.
Never, unless you were to replace that line of code. So... not never.
Why would the **AA sue me? I've never uploaded, downloaded, or sideloaded any of their stuff. They have nothing I want. If they sue me it will be because they fucked up and confounded me with someone else.
I guess you missed the many, many slashdot articles about them doing exactly that.
I would still say that "Triggers the release of dopamine. Can increase concentration and creative output." alongside stupid, crazy, Parkinson's-like symptoms, addiction, stroke, psychosis, prison, and death isn't a huge endorsement.
Wired is wrong to promote drug use, especially stuff like meth. I work with recovering addicts and believe me, some gullible young kids ARE swayed by this sort of stupid publicity by those self-appointed arbiters of coolness. Yes, wired promoted using meth by saying it causes "Parkinson's-like symptoms, addiction, stroke, psychosis, prison, death" and "Prolonged use can also make you stupid and crazy.".

Up until a few months ago I was running OS X on a 867MHz G4 with a half a gig of ram and it ran just fine.
Aah, so you're a waffle man!

Indeed.

Geeze, he just missed the joke, there's no need to threaten him with some kind of horrible dismemberment!
If you pulled it off right, it could be funny. But people don't. They just copy the list and rely on people already knowing the joke.
The original worked because it had context. These references don't.
1. Copy list
2. Rely on people already knowing joke.
3. Profit!
See that's how it's... d'oh!
Yes, it would. If you didn't think the recent height and depth comics were awesome then you don't get to be a geek.
You might want to try clicking on a comment's title. It does exactly what you suggest.
You could get the ads, ads, music, movies, ads and games. That doesn't have many ads in it.
What if that thing I said?
Wait, Kid Rock not only still exists but has a hit song? I've never been so happy to be out of touch.
Or MC Frontalot.

A Blizzard game is popular? Shocking!

Yes, but this has nothing to do with mystical statements like the one you posted earlier.
What did he say that was mystical? I must have missed the bit about harnessing your chi-flow.

How dare they make it look so cool and sexy!
