Arrrrrrr! Big 5 and all other DMCA / RIAA bitches prepeare to be boarded - Hillary Rosen is walking the plank and a scurvy to all you sellout boy-band Top40 record whores. Arrrrrrrr.........
Is really the DMCA police! - No im completely with you, 8,439 songs as of this morning for 25 days of music and 50 GB of space. So all I need is a 200GB hard drive and 100 days (24 hours a day) to listen to it all once I hit the 32,000 song peak. Hmmm maybe Apple was looking out for us by putting a peak on it. My iMac and iPod have utterly changed my life for sure, so far I feel in a positive way. And yes, anything worth doing is worth overdoing.... But just maybe Apple knows something that happens to people when they have that much music. Hell, if your listening to your iPod 24/7 you never have a chance to get hit by the Reality Distortion Field.
I am not trying to troll but.... I respect darwin as a distro and realize that Apple only gains by having it so. But aside from a few hardcore programmers it doesnt seem like it will ever become anykind of an everyday use system. To me it seems that apple has darwin opensource for 2 reasons: to give kernel hackers something to do (which benefits apple) and PR (which benefits apple). Ok back to the original post (and my point) is there anything built for darwin and not for OSX? will there ever be any reason to::sigh:: when you see the apple logo at startup the first time only to uninstall it and run darwin with a open window manager (remind you of any other old procedure)?
Could this have anything to do with rumors coming down the pipe of a GOBE Office / Appleworks / (Open Office?) application suite to finally do away with MS on mac? It seems microsoft is actually going to have to deliver on some long neglected promises to compete in the near future. Get all these people who have just been waiting for Exchange support before Apple comes in with a Rendezvous enabled iLife integrated Office killer. Are Safari and Keynote are the raising of a new pirate flag in Cupertino?
I cannot believe that any apple application leaves the code factory without 'clipping' support - I have always thought the killer app for the Mac OS was the ability to drag and drop a clipping (I have seen windows users eyes gape at this simple trick). In the weeks that I have been using Safari I must have run into this at least three times a day. I would imagine for many mac users this is the same. So again how is it that Apple apps lately are running screaming from all their (wonderful if old) UI guidelines? Yes, i realize this is a beta app but iCal is a mess and Quicktime? well after this long I guess im used to it.
-Oh wait im sorry - this was supposed to be a posting about tabs
When I upgraded to beta60 my online banking also turned off. I was able to update the.plist manually on this machine and everything went back to normal. - Just send me your info (bank name, account number, etc...oh dont forget SS#) and I can fix it for you!
and again let me say 'just chill'. life (your mindset your health) has _everything_ to do with chilling out and seeing things for what they are. if you had read my comment a tad closer (or maybe even twice) you would see my comment on communism was a positive one (ie "i hope one day after the revolution when we are communists this wont matter). i abhor mccarthy-ism and its present day incarnation. and yes i concede that the license _does_ matter in for every charachter of code out there when you get down to the logistics of using it and basing a program on it. but for this (Apple releases X11 source to public) thats not what the story is about. no one has to wrangle with the issues of using this code to design a X11 implentation on X because thats what it is, but for novice programmers like myself its an interesting chance to see how they linked it to the quartz engine, etc. i dont care about the license, im not going to incorporate any of this code in my commercial products, i merely want to see how it works (i guess my curiosity is jst a waste of time like that). the original post sees this, its about the greater good of having the code out period. - and thats all i can say, i feel like im beng drawn into an argument and not a discussion; its making feel dirty this early in the morning;)
yes let us not encourage this - its that rabid attitude that we are trying to talk you zealots out of. it is more important that the code is out there. "anything you write later will be tainted" - no seriously chill, in the long run (ie after the revolution and the we are rebuilding as a perfect communist......oh wait) well what im saying is the fact that the code is out and in some form however restrictive (in this case not very) that it gets people talking about open source. my mother (an Technology Specialist at a middle school) saw a X11 on OSX link one day looking at a link i had sent her. after explaining to her that no OSX 11 isnt out it prompted a discussion on "what is open source." now laugh if you will but she has only administered Macs and PCs, no one had ever explained to her the concept. and you know i didnt waste a minute explaining the diff between license x vs y....the greater good is more important, many keystrokes have died a painfull death beating these dead horses -
sounds to me like http://www.furthurnet.com/ is going to be in trouble soon if this goes through. If the record companies can find a way to commercialize bootlegging at 99% of shows then the artists (read: their corporate masters) on Furthurnet will have that much more of a reason to not allow the open domainh trading of their shows.
maybe im just a little too young but what does that funny bench from the movie Sneakers have to do with anything? - honestly though Celestial is an amazing program (esp for an alpha release) and is quite accessible and interesting to non-astrologists, like myself
but i for one (of _many_) had no idea that i could add a network drive to my login items and have it mount. between that little trick and how to save itunes prefs and playlists when moving to a completely new drive/machine - i just figured that out on my own yesterday (through much trial and error) and was honestly going to write up the experience because i had not seen these details anywhere. honestly, thank you sir for the write up, i had many of these idea floating around in my head, now i not only know they are possible but whenever i get some money for a new 12" powerbook that they will be a reality.
