I use this software as well. Incremental backups from all 3 of my internal drives out to a firewire drive partitioned appropriately and scheduled to go off at 1, 2, and 3AM respectively. This doesn't provide you with protection from deleting a file if you don't notice in the first 24 hours, but it does give you a fine safety margin against hard drive failure.
Except that this one is actually bipedal. The Disneysaur needs to hang onto that cart or he'll topple over. Plus all the computer brains for him are hidden under the flowers in the cart. As a standalone dinosaur, he'd never work.
I'm playing on a G4 dual proc. 800mhz with 640 megs of ram and an Nvidia GeForce 2MX and it plays well enough for me. Some times the animation gets a little choppy, but never out of the playable range.
Allright first off, this is a response only to the trash Acidic Diarrhea has been spouting. It is not addressed toward Republicans in general because Republicans in general do not hold the kind of hatreds that this moron does.
Look, being of European descent does not give you a right to trash other cultures and other countries. My ancestry is originally from Europe as well, but the kind of racist hate that you are spewing disgraces all Americans, and especially those of us who share your demographic. We are not ashamed to live in this country. We love this country because it embraces tolerance and generosity toward all people, not simply those that look and talk like us. Your disparagement of those noble ideals embarrases us for our nation, but on no account would it make us want to leave.
And yes, I do think illegal immigrants should recieve free health care. I'm an American citizen, and I have no problem with my tax dollars going to save lives, no matter what country issued the passport of that child laying on a hospital bed. You are voting your pocket book because you are simply too selfish to acknowledge that the lives of people who you've never met are more important than the price of gasoline at the pump dropping 10 cents.
In addition, that comment about giving AIDS to gay people was completely out of line. AIDS is a horrible epidemic which has killed is ravaging our planet because those who have not yet been affected personally by the disease are unwilling to spend the desperately needed money toward research and treatment. Over 25 million people have died worldwide because of AIDS, and it is estimated that over 70 million more will be gone within the next 20 years if things aren't stopped. To make a triviality of this by wishing it on another human being is not only immoral, it's disgusting. You are disrespecting the families and friends of all those millions who have perished by trying to make the disease into a punchline, and that is the type of speech that tends to evoke calls of Bigot from others. AIDS is everybody's problem, and the sooner you realize that, the better.
Believe it or not, people like that AC you are responding to are wanted in this country, because they have been raised to embrace diversity and other ways of living. We are not angry with you because you want others to embrace your beliefs. Many people want that. We find fault with your beliefs themselves because they promote hate, violence, and distrust across the world community. God does not smile upon those who wish death upon their fellow man. He loves all equally and does not want to see any suffer. As one of the wealthiest countries on Earth, it is our moral responsibility to try to help those who are less fortunate in any way we can and as often as we can. Pull your head out of the dirt and look around once in a while. The world is bigger than your backyard.
With the loss of Paul Wellstone, Russ Feingold is one of the strongest supporters of liberal ideals and causes left in the Senate. It's good to see him getting support from the Republicans in the form of McCain. Democrats certainly can't afford to go it alone in their current minority status, so to get any decent laws passed, we're going to need to have Republicans crossing party lines to support bills whose bottom line is not aimed at increasing the wealth of the wealthy for once.
It seems to me that Apple was just trying to protect their own flank in this one. I mean, they're already getting flack from the dark side for strongly supporting a format which allows easy copying of copyrighted material, and now a guy comes along and takes one of their programs and turns it into something where the blatant purpose is simply copying music. Of course they came down on him, because they don't want to get hit themselves. It's not their responsibility when a person writes a third-party trading app and makes it run on OS X, but when their own programs are being used for the purpose, their butts are in the bulls-eye. Frankly, I think they've been doing a very good job of supporting the free music movement, but I certainly don't expect them to become the new champions. After all, they are a company, and their biggest responsiblity has to be to their investors. Law-suits cause stock prices to drop. Pure and simple.
I was just trying to make a joke, but on the serious side, yes of course your point is valid. I am a Mac user, so I should certainly be aware of the role that flashy cases and blueberry coloring can play in selling hardware of software. However, just because it's a fact that people make purchasing decisions based on trivial aspects of a product doesn't mean I have to respect their decisions based on that.
"User interface. Look, XP has the best colors on any OS I've ever seen. Why would you use an OS with inferior colors?"
Because God knows that's exactly why we should decide on one piece of software over another...
In a recent news report covering an anti-US rally in Iraq, one man was shown holding a banner reading "A nation of sheep, owned by pigs, and led by wolves." (or something to that effect). Most Americans would probably find this very offensive unless they consider the facts of the matter, and the truth is that we have let Donald "Let's Rumble" Rumsfeld and the rest of the Bush-lynching mob get completely out of control. This movie only helps to drive that point home.

Shoot. I wish I thought of that first.
That's two planets down. How many generations of this software before we get the Galactic Lens of Foundation fame?

I guess they figured that fantasy was their domain and Bush should leave well enough alone.
To the arctic circle? Hrm... not quite. Actually, not even freaking close. Check it out.
