the marketing droids should show us some stats indicating the percentage of the engineering market that the G5 Macs have.
iMac customers don't care about engineering usage stats. People visiting that page don't want to know what percentage of any market the chip's family has. Why would they reference the Power Macs on the iMac page?
reassuring. well, sort of. the whole wife thing is the goal, so there's no more having to worry about regular lays, but it's supposed to be permanent, otherwise there is no point in it.. so i guess i've learned nothing and will shut up now and lose a few karma.
I've been using allofmp3.com for a while now, Pixies page here, and when a band comes through town, I'll always buy a shirt and usually the CD as well, just to make sure they get my support.
However, I do hope to always have the opportunity to check out new albums before buying them, I usually buy more music that way.
A French AC had this to say: "For those who don't know someone owning a mac:
What a boring life you must have!
I know a lot of very different people using different OS.
At least Mac, Win and Linux.
Maybe you should go out more?"
Copied from Daring Fireball, one of very few writers that actually does his research and produces quality..
"The reason this argument is so popular with Windows apologists is that it's a convenient bit of rhetoric. They say it's so, we say it's not. You can't get past this argument, because it can't be disproven without the Mac OS actually attaining a Windows-like market share.
So, let's concede the point, just for the sake of argument: OK, fine, if the Mac had the same market share as Windows, the tables would be turned and there'd be just as many Mac security exploits as there are Windows exploits today.
Now what? Given that the Mac is never going to attain a monopoly share of the operating systems market -- that merely expanding its share to, say, 10 percent would be universally hailed as an almost-too-good-to-be-true success -- isn't it thus only logical to conclude that the Mac is forever "doomed" to be significantly more secure than Windows?"
Somewhere else, buried alive:
They just need to get better at convincing Average Joes WHY they should pay a premium for a Mac.
The problem people fail to see is that Apple is in the Luxury Computer market, and always has been (except for it's long-gone education relationship). Up until the end of the millenium, computers WERE a luxury. BMW, Mercedes, Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Dom Perignon, Rolex, Cartier...the list goes on, none of these care that you want it but can't afford it and wish it were cheaper.
You just do what all the other ghetto folk do: buy the knockoff. In this case it's Windows.
DVD Studio Pro will, it has a bunch of examples and tutorials with it for working with timelines and stuff. You can set the action buttons to whatever you want on a computer or remote controller.
How's that read GPL again? I agree that I can do whatever I want with GPL code, but if I want to distribute it I have to share my changes. If I break it there'd be Slashdotters calling for my nads on a stick.
The agreement with the movie theaters is "I agree that I can come in and sit quietly and watch the movie. No, I can't record it. No, I can't sit in the back and sing the Spider Man cartoon theme at the top of my lungs. No, I can't piss on the people in the next row." Simply put, you're not allowed to disrupt their business. Yes, recording and distributing it before it leaves theaters disrupts their business, don't kid yourself. If you don't like it, DON'T GO TO THE THEATER. How difficult is this concept?
Pretty much agree with this, I've stopped seeing movies on principle, I know it won't have any effect on their business (since I don't expect the rest of the mainstream to believe what I believe.. fscking sheep), but I'm really not interested in film as art or entertainment. There's better things to do.
At the same time, does it not scare you (those that need to get these movies early on p2p) that you're fighting the mob? Or is that not yet clear?
That's really impressive, a ton of work went into this mod. I can't imagine having this amount of time to devote. Nice photos too for the most part, and very descriptive captions.
Cheap as in they'll be giving out a TON of copies of Windows and Windows-related stuff on this 'tour'. Scary, how the countryside will (hopefully) be littered with almost as many abandoned XP CDs as AOL ones. Scarier still that they will be able to get into most places with no issues and spread their lies to the decision-makers.
Distract them and throw in a Gentoo or Knoppix Live CD when they're not looking..
heh.. no, he should get QuickTime, believe it or not. I was really amazed when these.avi files played with audio in qt player. It's good to make sure you have all the 3rd-party codecs, go to the qt prefs in the system prefs and choose update, then custom. get them all, they come in handy and are extremely small in terms of hd space. (don't know if it's the same in windows)
head to this page to grab it. it's free, and since it sounds like you're on Windows, you may as well get iTunes while you're there. iTunes
If it's possible to use quicktime player for a movie file, you usually should, even if it's with a cracked pro key. VLC is great for AVIs that are encoded badly or with some obscure codec (or just a crappy one like divx or wmv that won't play in qt player, 3ivx is better, or xvid).
VLC has saved some of my experiments with my own DVD backups. It's a handy tool, and deserving of praise. It's just worth noting that the built-in tools should be used whenever possible.
I checked the videos, it seems like an interesting idea, but also somewhat confusing. How many games were on it at one time, and what all can you play on it now?
Fantomas - Delerium Cordia. 1 Track. 55:19 long. Original, amazing audio. (Mike Patton is the voice and brains of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom and Tomahawk, Dave Lombardo is from Slayer)
use a tool that will allow you to migrate your data
I use iBlog myself, but Bloxsom lets you just save as text files and put them in folders for organization. it's easily the most reassuring system as far as being able to move your data when you want. I used it for a bit, works as advertised.
That's cool, I learned some stuff from the code. Found out about it through the Direct-L list and DOUG (director-online.com) and messed around with it a bit.
I need to do some shockwave stuff again.. maybe for my band site.

mmmm... lower Slashdot UID wins.

A few things from the discussion that hit home..

many reasons.. mostly coming down to the fact that you get more done, faster.
yeah, what a sad way to go through life. Still better than Seattle, though. ;)

Holy crap, we killed it already. Oh well, here's the PDFs I promised, served happily again from Spymac:
PDFs in zip format.
If you're in OS X, it's not the double-clickable kind, Use Stuffit Expander to unzip it.
That's really impressive, a ton of work went into this mod. I can't imagine having this amount of time to devote. Nice photos too for the most part, and very descriptive captions.
I'll post a mirror as PDFs if needed.
(finds two new friends)
Shadows Fall, Arch Enemy, Strapping Young Lad (Devin rules), My Ruin, a couple of others.. I'm really into Children of Bodom right now.
The Missing Sync is the app that lets any PocketPC or non-Apple supported phone or PDA work with iSync. (Address Book, Bookmarks, iCals)
Salling Clicker is the one for using any bluetooth phone as an Applescriptable remote.

John Starks, slashdot lesson number one: don't feed the trolls unless you're posting as AC. makes a mess of the page.
I checked the videos, it seems like an interesting idea, but also somewhat confusing. How many games were on it at one time, and what all can you play on it now?
Nice site, btw.
Hey buddy, lighten up, eh?
Hear, hear. The Gathering kills. Check out the album 'Mandylion' first. Watch the 'Leaves' music video and fall in love with her.

'Shockwave Windows'? Is that the one?
I really want to get Rogue going under any OS but have had no luck. I miss playing that game, can't find the disk with it for my 68k macs.
