Don't listen to the trolls. I only know who he is because I spend an unholy amount of time on the internet. Never in my life have I heard him mentioned in any Danish media. I suspect that less than 10% of the people in the world who aren't American know who he is.
Not so sure about pt. 3. As bandwidth gets cheaper and more available, one could easily conceive of the systems for distributing torrents getting more user friendly.
Some of the sites out there are getting quite a way. They've the shows listed with next air date and readily clickable links to the torrents for the newest episodes. In fact, that's how I watch Lost at the moment, since the Danish syndicated version is several episodes behind (and in pan & scan format).
Yeah, I saw that in the Danish store too (Kristofer Åström & Hidden Truck albums are currently 9.99DKK but impossible to buy as they're "being modified"). I assume that it'll be up & running in the next couple of days.
I heard a better story, but I have no idea if it's true or not.
There was a guy from Jamaica who had to go to the hospital for some reason, and he was driven there by his friend. When filling out the forms, he neglected to fill out the race field, and the receptionist nurse told him that he should check African-American.
He tried to explain to her that he was neither African nor American, even showing her his passport. Eventually he had to point out his (white) friend, who as coincidence has it was of South African descent and an American citizen. An African American, so to speak.
Regrettably, I don't remember how the whole thing ended.
Thanks for the explanation. I'm from Denmark where gay marriage is legal and it's illegal to fire people because of sexuality (among other things), so I didn't know these things.
When they're talking about search, they're talking about Spotlight, which is metadata search. Locate is simple path search. Granted, find has some metadata capabilities, but nothing that compares to Spotlight.
Regarding scripting, Automator is a GUI front end to AppleScript that allows one to represent a script as a number of steps intead of actually writing the script.
The others you mentioned are pretty much right, though.
Well the iMacs and eMacs can only fit one drive, so there's no option there.
But yeah, it's more reliable with more drives, that's pretty much a given. They're probably only shipping one drive in the PowerMacs to keep their margins.
I have a sort of hate/love relationship with my multiple drives (4 at the moment). On the one hand, it's nice to only lose a little data when one dies (and they do that, oh yes) and you can salvage some onto another. On the other hand, there's the added strain on my poor hands when I have to hold down CMD when moving stuff between say the download drive and the media drive.
I remember NASA allowed download of their huge picture of the Earth. You had to submit an email address and wait for a response (a low-tech bandwidth management system, I suppose). I still have it lying around somewhere.
Okay you can mod this one down, but if you do, consider that the parent says OT in th subject. There's not really any reason to mod it off topic, seeing as how it's already marked as such - please use your mod points for something more useful.
You can make it stop the nagging if you turn the date to some amount of years in the future (say, 2030), open quicktime and say "ask me later", then quit quicktime & turn the date back to normal. It'll ask you again in 2030.
I'm not saying that it's not annoying, but thankfully there's an easy way to stop it.
Darwine isn't nearly done. So far it can only compile a few of the apps supplied with WINE. The QEMU integration is still in very early stages of development.
How would you have tried these PC games on a Mac? I'm not sure I understand your statement that "they work just as well on a Mac. I know, I've tried."

You deserve some insightful points right there. Alas, I don't have any.
Those are by far in the minority. I haven't needed to use any apps that wouldn't run on my G3.
I don't get it. Are you saying persecution is a plus? Or that being a geek is bad? Or something else entirely?
I've never been persecuted. I might be a geek, but I am also so many other things. Labels are stupid.
While that is arguably true, it doesn't really say anything about whether or not Ebert is well-known, much less an authority.

It redirects automatically (on a Mac at least).

Because the artists get even less money that way than if you bought the CD in a store.

System updates count as reboots, right?

Don't gays have the same rights already (aside from marriage, but that's not the work place)? Honest question.

I find that it's easy to remember passwords if you take a sentence and use the first letters of the words, and any numbers as the digits themselves.
ie: one man takes two steps down the hall: 1mt2sdth
It's not really fair to compare IP violations to carrying a concealed weapon. The former is obviously far worse than the latter ;)

New European cars often go above 50 mpg.
Ah yes, I think that was the first time I read a cat comic and laughed.

Neoncow's comment is not true, just for the record.

Hehe, amen. The day I figured out how to use http://curl.haxx.se/, porn became somewhat boring. It's just too easy to obtain.
