I got pissed when I found that my extensive VHS collection would not work in my DVD player. WTF? DVD is supposed to be better, right? Those bastards at Samsung are screwing me!
Apple have always been a hardware oriented company, and to the best of my knowledge have never claimed anything else. And why would they really care about 'screwing' Linux?
What I suspect you are really saying is that you would like to run OS X but don't want to to shell out the cash to buy the required hardware. What you fail to realise is that a soon as you take OS X and make it available on the huge variety of Intel-based platforms, it does not "Just Work!" anymore. Any amount of time spent trying to find the right drivers for Linux or Windows will tell you that. There is a lot to be said for having control of the OS and the hardware on which it runs.
If you want OS X, get a job and get a Mac like the rest of us had to.
In response to the early criticism, the industry groups pushing for the law released a new version of their model legislation on April 1st that, among other things, adds an "intent to defraud" to the language
Sure they did. Like we are going to believe what they said on April 1st.
...this lawsuit is not about spam, but rather about false advertising. After carefully sifting though millions of messages over the past five years, AOL are simply pissed that they have failed to add the promised inches.
If people keep pointing it out, it is only a matter of time befor Jupiter starts developing a negative self-image. It is then only a matter of time before Jupiter stomps off sulking and slamming doors, taking it's vast gravitational field with it and leaving us to collect our own space junk.
Ultimately though, that tactic failed to protect them against the inexorable tide white men. These days we call it a slashdotting, and there is still no known defence.
...that this guy is apparently so keen on tabbed browsing, yet there is no sign of this on the horizon for Safari. Personally, I like the clean look of Safari, but I wonder if anyone has any insight as to why it never went the tabbed route.
I was so pleased at having noticed the time, and the fact that it was dated the 5th, I completely missed the other 'insignificant' components of the date:)
...using it on one's lap would create safety (and fertility) issues...
He he! I assume you are referring to this guy? I read the blurb on Dell's site, but was disappointed not to find a reference to it's blistering performance.
This is the only way of maintaining a steady (I nearly said 'healthy') geek population. Think of it as artificial insemination on a state-wide level. The distribution of iBooks is a counter-measure against natural selection. The underlying OS is not called 'Darwin' by accident you know. That's my conspiracy theory, anyway.
By LINDA ROSENCRANCE...SEPTEMBER 05, 2000... ...For example, at 2:40 p.m. today...
I'm in Eastern Canada, and it's currently only 1:15 p.m. Now, considering that the prices quoted in the article were in U.S. Dollars, something is very wrong. Am I missing something here? What time zone Is Ms. Rosencrance in? Let's assume it was a typo and that she was not able to jump two hours into the future.
BTW, I just tried Safari (Mac) & IE (Mac & Win) on the U.S. site and got quoted $80.98. Maybe if I wait until 2;40 p.m. I'll get it cheaper ???
Beer is a money sink! Save it for a faster-compiling computer
Tut tut tut. Take a hint from an old pro, sonny. Turn off the computer and leave it turned off. If you like compiling code that much, go and find a job where not only will they pay you to persue your interest, but they will supply some decent kit to do so. With the cash you save on the computer, you can have a life.
In phase one, the only details that will be entered are name, address and Meter Point Asset Number - the number in the corner of every household electricity bill which is unique to that property
Correct me if I'm wrong, but an electricity meter is hardly unique to an individual household. I have lived in flats in the UK where fuel bills were included as a percentage of the rent, and only one set of meters existed for the entire building (30-40 distinct residences)
Wasn't it a part a deal with Apple (The Beatles' record label), that Apple Computer Inc. could continue to use the name 'Apple' as long as they 'stayed out of the music business'? (If you have a better URL, please post it)
OK, I confess. I didn't even bother to read the article, and will probably be ridiculed for not being up-to-date with hot new technologies (AKA 'fads'). I just skimmed through Verity Stobs' story and groaned. It seems that every few months there emerges a new programming language/methodology. Maybe, instead of devoting so much time to inventing new tools, people should invest their energy into learning to use the existing stuff properly. I wonder how many peoples resumés are littered with long-dead languages that 'seemed cool at the time'.
P.S. I don't dress fashionably either, prefering to save valuable beer money.

When hell freezes over. Oh, what's the point? I already answered this.

Not to mention these guys.

Aherermm!! Cough cough! as tbmaddux and others kindly pointed out, it now has tabs. There was a thread on /. recently which I apparently missed.
That's very true, but at least I'm not an Anonymous Moron. Get back under your rock :p
Yep. It is. I just grabbed a copy. still not sure if I like it though, but I'll give it a week.

Seriously, I don't even think Xerox PARC can claim first post over this one.

Uh oh! A Fortran programmer with mod points. That's a dangereous combination!
