Do you have any good websites giving a DIY on how to do this? I've always been interested in these since I knew they were available. Most of the "free satellite" searches come back with how to crack DSS. I plan on canceling cable (I don't watch enough) but if I could get some used equipment and scan the sky I'd love to.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Are you saying that Parallels is inherently unable to use this capability?
That's EXACTLY what he is saying.
At this time Parallels doesn't support hardware 3D. Apparently when someone asked at MacWorld they said "Next beta". Just because it's running full screen doesn't mean that the video card isn't virtualized.
It goes both ways. I like to look in the independent or foreign film category on apple trailers. I'll get really interested in a movie to find out that it's not out in the US for another few months. Then I hit the torrent sites and find the DVDRip. Two that I remember clearly are Showlin Soccer and Shaun of the Dead.
While SG-1 attends the execution of Ba'al, the last of the goa'uld system lords, Teal'c and Vala inexplicably disappear into thin air. Carter, Daniel and Mitchell race back to a world where history has been changed: the Stargate program has been erased from the timeline. As they try to convince the authorities what's happened, a fleet of goa'uld motherships arrives in orbit, led by Ba'al, his queen, Katesh, (Vala) and his first prime, Teal'c. SG-1 must find the Stargate and set things right before the world is enslaved by the goa'uld.
First. It's iTunes and iPod. It always has been. It's like watching someone write UbAuNtU every time they referenced it. Second. that quote is from Apple. It's first in LEGAL downloads fourth over all in LEGAL ways to obtain music. Third. Apple DRM does not have this "Lockdown" on the iPod. You are only allowed to 'tie' the iPod to one computer. If you take it to another computer it will ask you if you would like to erase it and connect it to the current computer.
However. How many of these apps automatically load on startup? I don't ever remember OmniOutliner or ComicChat starting up every single time I start up.
Want to remove iLife, OmniOutliner, etc? Drag them to the trash. Empty trash. Try removing Dell Media App, Dell Quick Sets, RealPlayer and AOL on XP and tell me how long it takes.
Oh... and Apple at least still bundles the Install DVD so you can go to a completely blank slate if you really want to.
I'm selling a Dell E1505 on eBay. Lowest end model. I picked it up for $800 last spring and now I got a MacBook Pro (After starting a full time job).
The highest 6 bids are between 3 people for: 1200, 2000, 2500.
Immediately I got a SEND TO NIGERIA letter. I figured I'd have some fun so I extended second chance offers to the other bidders. I've been going back and forth with them a few days via e-mail.
Some pretty good fake PayPal e-mails have come through. I keep checking my account and sadly it's at $0.00. (I feel sorry for real people in Nigeria trying to buy stuff). They even have a good excuse for why it's at $0.00.
"This PayPal payment has been deducted from the buyer's account and has been 'APPROVED' but will not be credited to your account until the shipment reference/tracking number is sent to us for shipment verification so as to secure both the buyer and the seller."
I can see how some newbies would be confused. But I know how PayPal works.
I think they've given up on me.

As per people's questions on why not use "Buy It Now" Because of listing fees. If I have 50 Dell Mice to sell for $5. I don't want to create auctions every 7 days hoping one will sell. Instead I set up a market place that is permanent. I have a quantity listed at $5.
(Although if I *really* had something to sell. I'd make my own website and use google checkout. They may not be completely 'not evil' but I haven't had $1600 of my funds locked out by them yet)
I'm doing something similar, I just wish my friends weren't idiots. I have my own domain and my e-mail goes something like this: DreamHost -> Gmail -> DreamHost
slashdot@mydomain.com, etc helped me harass one website about using my e-mail in un-authorized ways.
Except that all my friends have my 'real' address, so when they invite me with something like e-invite or send me a funny URL through a webform, they use my 'real' e-mail.
Although most of the spam I'm getting now is bounces that "I" originated.
I don't know where your math is coming from, but according to google:
(50 GB) / (3 (Mb / s)) = 1.58024691 days (750 MB) / (28.8 (Kb / s)) = 2.4691358 days
I lived in the country so it was rare if I even saw 26.4.
Over that lil modem that could, I got: OS 8, OS 9, 10.0 Beta, Sims, both Carmageddons, more than 1/2 of my 25 GB mp3 collection plus at least 3x that that I'm forgetting about.
The difference is people want things NOW. Back then I just knew to wait. Even now with MLNet, it could be up to a month before I get what I'm looking for (MLNet is reserved for rare stuff that torrents don't have anymore) I set it and forget it, when it comes it comes.
On TV shows and ads I can see how that would be a valid reasion.
But I highly doubt that anytime Google is giving a presentation or a tour they're going to make everyone stop working. Swap out their desktops and swap in Macs for a day or so. Then make them swap back. It just doesn't make sense.
If you don't mind my asking, what software did you have a problem finding?
I'm not saying that there is a replacement, but in 15 years of owning a mac, I've never had this problem other than in the Engineering realm. AutoCAD, Matlab (yes it exists, but it sucks), etc...

You have to sign a 2 year contract to get the phone from Cingular.
Cingular signed a 5 year contract with Apple.
I wonder what the 'early cancelation fee' is for that contract.

Just like that darn IIS is never targeted as much as apache.
Most of these "New and Updated Applications" are stuff I've had for years on my Mac.
DVD, Mail, Calendar, Addressbook, Fax & Scan.
Windows Imaging Component sounds identical to Core Image
Damn it Scotty. Reroute main power through the Auxiliary nyud Pathways.

I think I've seen this one before.
First. It's iTunes and iPod. It always has been. It's like watching someone write UbAuNtU every time they referenced it.

Quicktime point well taken.

Bingo!
I have 3 folders in my doc.
Applications
Utilities
Projects (full of TextMate Project files for websites)
Before QuickSilver everything was one right click away.
With QuickSilver I may remove Applications and Utilities.

Thread jack, but where is that sound track from? I know I've seen the movie... I just can't think of it.
Dang...
Dear Apple, Good luck with that. Love, Billy

You mean like Hugo Weaving as V
or
Bill Nighy as Davy Jones.
Nope. Never
If they all have braile, why do they all not have text to speech? I've never been to an ATM where it told me what was going on.
