  1. Reads like an advertisement... on WindowShade X 2.0 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't get me wrong and mod me down as flamebait...I love this haxie and have a registered copy.

    But c'mon /. this article is basically an advertisement you have posted here...

    "Award winning"? I'd be very interested to know what awards this won. Not to mention the contributor, "Slava", is the programmer who wrote this.

  2. Re:Is there a list somewhere... on Apple @ MacWorld Tokyo · · Score: 1

    There is MacWorld San Fransico in January, Tokyo in March and New York in July. There is sometimes a Paris/Europe show in the fall but it has been infrequent for various different reasons the past years.

  3. Re:Failed? on Soviet Moon Rocket · · Score: 0, Troll

    And you have links or books or paper titles and authors to back up your baseless statements?

  4. Re:It doesn't matter... on Darwin Streaming Server Beats Real, Windows Media · · Score: 1

    No one is talking about the player. Sure you can use your Windows Media Player to play content streamed from a Darwin streaming server since it serves all types of MPEG as well as Quicktime.

  5. Re:Great, but... on Darwin Streaming Server Beats Real, Windows Media · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is not entirely correct. You can stream Quicktime and MPEG (including MPEG-1,2,3&4 and mp3). So any media viewer that can play those types you can use to view the content stream.

  6. Re:Anyone else surprised? on Darwin Streaming Server Beats Real, Windows Media · · Score: 1

    It's a well kept secret...kind of in the same boat as Apple's WebObjects.

  7. Re:Don't believe BS about wetlands violations on Robotic Mini-sub to Inspect NYC Water System · · Score: 2

    I believe it was meant as a joke, at least light-hearted. Lighten up.

  8. Re:This is great! on Apple Licenses CUPS · · Score: 1

    You can browse Windows (Samba) shares using OS X.

  9. Re:So now a healthy baby with an unhealthy mother? on Designer Babies, Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Yes I guess that is what I am saying. Call me old fashioned but natural selection coupled with selflessness decisions I believe are the best way.

  10. Re:Not the first time on Designer Babies, Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    They weren't embryos. They were unfertilized eggs from the mother who carried the gene.

  11. So now a healthy baby with an unhealthy mother? on Designer Babies, Version 1.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So the mother has an ailment which means by the time she is 40 she will become senile. The child will just be 10 years old at that point. How is a senile mother supposed to raise a 10 year old child? Once again selfishness of the parent seems to have won out over long term best interests for the child.

  12. Re:It's your own fault. on Feds Undertaking Massive Passenger Profiling Plan · · Score: 1

    Oh and let me guess... you're French?

  13. Re:Some Research @ Cornell on Writing Messages In Empty Space With GPS · · Score: 1

    Wow! They did something like this at my school too and it seems to have caught on across the whole state. They call them signs here.

    I wonder if anyone has patented this yet? ;)

  14. Re:This raises some frightening questions on Battlefield Lasers · · Score: 1

    I'd rather be shot with a self coterizing laser versus a heavy lead slug that rips through me and creates a shock wave such the exit wound is 20x the entry wound. Now that would be cruel and unusual.

  15. Re:Technical superiority isn't everything on Review of eComStation OS/2 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Have you tried Office v.X under Mac OS X? Beats the Windows version hands down in speed, features, and prettiness.

  16. MPEG4 is based off QuickTime on 10th Anniversary of Quicktime · · Score: 2, Insightful
    MPEG4 is based off QuickTime with Apple playing a major role in its development.

    You are also confusing codecs or players with QuickTime. MPEG is a codec, Windows media has is wma codec and player...QuickTime is a Media Layer providing all the necessary tools to deal with hundreds of formats and just as many codecs supporting wide ranges of playback and presentation options not just limited to audio, video, graphics, vector graphics, VR...

    I could got on, but instead you should go read up at on specifics here.

  17. Re:IT's not for you! on This is IT? · · Score: 1
    Anonymous Coward:

    Because the cheap labor and materials outweights the shipping costs. Labor, materials and taxes in Manchester, NH are only going to add to the item's cost.

  18. Re:IT's not for you! on This is IT? · · Score: 1

    Then why did they build their factory in Manchester, NH, USA?!?!?! Couldn't get further away from Asia if you tried.

    4? What 4? ;-) Just had to do it...

  20. OS X Chinese support rocks on The Ongoing Saga of Linux in China · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I urge anyone interested in Chinese language support to check out OS X(tier 2 language support). The Chinese site is here.

  21. Carried over into OS X on Fast Alpha-Blending In Your GUI · · Score: 3, Informative

    This was carried over into OS X and its Quartz graphics layer since its inception.

  22. ProjectBuilder on Java IDEs? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget ProjectBuilder for MacOS X. It's a complete Java 2 IDE (for OOC as well), powerful, slick as hell and easy to use...it's also free with Mac OS X.

  23. Personal choice... on TV Networks Sue ReplayTV · · Score: 1

    So let me get this straight, by following the precedent set by all the recent media lawsuits, the public is not supposed to decide what, when or how they want to listen to or watch something. Instead they can only get it crammed down their throats by media companies.

    On a side note, what is the difference between this commercial advance and fast forward?

    Ugh oh, my VCR from 1988 and my cassette deck from 1982 are horrible devices brought about only to destroy media companies. Oh wait, media companies are bigger and more powerful than ever? You don't say...
