I love Phoenix (when's the next release?) with the exception of it not using a standard install program and I can't seem to get the Shockwave plug-in to recognize it. I love the fact that you can select it to block all pop-up ads and then selectively enable individual web pages to allow for pop ups (say if you want to run AIM in a Java window)...whereas in the current release of Mozilla, you have to add individual webpages to the pop up ad block... totally bass ackwards...
I'm not using the definition of *liberal* which is still preferred in Europe; I'm using the modern American definition of the word. The definition favored by Europeans is known as *classical liberalalism* here in America, the favoring of democratic institutions, progressivism, and free market economics. The modern American version of *liberal,* used as a derogatory term, implies a person that is anti-military no matter what the justification, distrusts market economics, believes social government programs to be successful, and believes the Western world oppresses the good people of 3rd World Countries such as Iraq. People who state that "regime change" in countries such as Iraq are up to the Iraqi people themselves. These people also believe the propaganda from such great leaders as Robert Mugabe, that his country is being oppressed by the British because of latent racism and neocolonialist chic, or that the North Koreans are run by a peace-loving regime. That's what I mean when I write "knee jerk liberalism"... Stepping off my soapbox now...
Ah, knee-jerk *liberalism* at its best... I s'pose you believe this war is for oil too (instead of a proxi-war fought on behalf of the State of Israel)... Oh yes, its an *illegal war* because the UN Security Council didn't mandate it...because we all know the UN is made up of such noble champions of human rights and freedom like the People's *Republic* of China and Russia... Just because you have the freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to have a monopoly on stupidity...
pardon *moi* on Number 7... the boss walked by and I typed that with much haste...
Regarding your reply on Number 5, Canada is known to sell Dominican cigars mistakenly labeled with a Cuban origin. See certain Seinfeld episode on the subject...
As for Number 9, when has there ever been a prohibition on Canadians from receiving a title such as "Sir" or "Lord" from the Queen? Your country is a Commonwealth member, afterall...
I see that I misnumbered some, again, due to boss implications... I concede the Nascar reference, although it should be noted that Nascar is the official *sport* of the sometimes unruly wholly owned yet autonomous subsidiary of the United States also known as "The South"...
Okay, we know SuSE is German (boo!) and Mandrake is French. Isn't Xandros Canadian? Corel sure is/was. And if you want to get technical about it, our Canadian neighbors/cousins aren't helping us out any. Whereas the cousin nations of Britain, the United States, and Australia are all helping to take Saddam out to the woodshop, where are our northern cousins up in that fake country of theirs? That fake country that our tax dollars help to defend, it should be noted... What will it take before you surrender your sovereignty to become part of the U.S. of North America? 1. Quebec independence? (good riddance) 2. The cancellation of all Alliance-Atlantis krap television productions? 3. The tanking of that *Monopoly* currency of yours? 4. U.S. adoption of le Metric system? 5. The U.S. normalizing relations with Castro? 6. The U.S. paying off its obligations in the Treaty of Paris to all the descendents of the disenfranchised Loyalists (then again, we should charge you'all for the Restoration on the White House since your forces torched it in the War of 1812)? 7. Americans beginning every sentence with "eh"? (much like the British start off everything with "right"). 8. Americans actually bothering to find Canada on a map (why should we?)? 9. The U.S. dropping the prohibition on accepting titles from the British Monarchy (I'd cheer that actually)? 9. Americans no longer mocking that "sport" you call curdling (isn't that what cheese does?)? 10. Martin Short for President? C'mon, what's your wishlist anyways? Don't you feel pretty lame that you have no forces in Iraq, yet Poland has commandos fighting?:)
I officially *HATE* Motorola. Motorola always made better chips than Intel, and that dates back to the 68000. The 68000, the 68020, the 030, and the 040. All better than their x86 (and x88)equivalents. But then a few years ago, Motorola started slacking. Look what they did to Palm. They (Motorola) thought they could just make minor modifications to the 68000, now a 24 year old processor, and they thought Palm would continue buying from them forever. All the while Intel kept on increasing the clock speed on their ARM processors for the big joke that was the WinCE market. 200 mhz Intel chips versus 16/33/ and now 66mhz Motorola Dragonball chips (ie Motorola 68000). Why didn't Motorola help Palm adapt the PowerPC chips for the Palm platform (or even a Dragonball based on a 68040 or 68060)? Obviously, there would be less emulation problems with going from a 68000 based chip to a PowerPC then to switch the platform to Intel and Texas Instruments ARM based chips. Even IBM just announced a PowerPC based reference design platform for Linux based PDAs. How did Motorola (and IBM) drop the ball on this? The PowerPC was also the most suitable choice because they offer low power consumption to begin with. PowerPC chips run in the Nintendo Gamecube and the Series1 TiVo. It would've been perfect. But instead of being a chip powerhouse, Motorola prefers to focus on building inferior cell phones. Such a dramatic decline from a company that used to make great television sets.
No it won't. Apple is working with TiVo currently. TiVo will be integrating Rendevoux (sic) into its Media Center options for home networking. Tivo is asking Apple integrate TiVo networking options into future versions of iTunes for streaming music off networked Macs to TiVo units. You might read Tivo's website...
uhm, yeah... Jobs and Woz...but technically, it was just Jobs who worked for Atari. He let Woz in at night so Woz could play "Night Driver" for free. Woz got money for each chip he cut out of the arcade version of "Breakout" which is the Jobs actually was assigned to by Bushnell himself. Both guys "creatively acquired" spare parts from Atari to build their "devices." Jobs went to Bushnell first for investment to start Apple, but Bushnell was strapped for money being plowed into the 2600 VCS's design, which caused him to sell out to Warner Communications for $26 million in 1976. Yes, we all know that.
You could also mention the fact that Alan Kay worked for Atari too up until 1984...
It could also be stated that many of Atari Corp.'s employees who were employed to port Unix V. over to the Atari TT platform (Motorola 68030 based system) who later went to work at Taligent, the failed joint-venture between IBM and Apple...
I'm not referring to any of the above; I'm asking if anyone knows how many post-1997 Atari Corp. or Flare Ltd. (the British company Atari bankrolled who developed the Panther & the Jaguar for Atari) employees now presently working for Apple in any aspect...
Hello Apple employees reading this, feel free to chime in!
ps. former Epyx employees who worked on the "Handy" (aka the Atari Lynx) who might work for Apple now do not count...
The company buying Replay will simply cancel the product and try to make money off leveraging its intellectual property. Any company wanting to continue to annoy the MPAA and broadcasters with its sharing of recording programs to other members via the net without the permission of the broadcasters is simply repeating the legal mistake of the website in Canada that simulcast the American broadcast networks without their permission... The ReplayTV is toast and all of you people that bought it over Tivo should've known better that SonicBlue couldn't afford the lawsuits. As for people worried Tivo won't have competition; Tivo will still have to worry about Microsoft jumping back in the field. That should keep them on their toes...
oh contraire. They (the Bush Administration) decided NOT to enforce antitrust laws FOR Microsoft. Just go ask Charles Ergin at Echostar (Dish Network) about the DOJ's (and FCC) alledged laxness regarding antitrust law when it came to his grand plan of acquiring DirecTV just a few short months ago...
Just thought I'd point that out...back in their successful days. Perhaps ol' Gore can score some government contracts for Apple. Or perhaps they (Apple) are betting that if Gore actually changed his mind and ran in 2004 (since Gephardt is a fool) and this time won constitutionally, then the DOJ would throw away that pile of feces known as the Microsoft settlement and go full guns a'blazin' (and dropping some legal equivalents to the new M.O.A.B. bomb) on Redmond...
Yeah...maybe Creative was upset when Mac users passed on purchasing their Mac specific Soundblaster Live which was basically the outdated Windows version in a different package. Creative should just market the same card in the same box, with different driver discs for the different systems. I mean, all modern Macs have PCI slots on them and Creative shouldn't be counting on the iMac crowd buying their cards anyway... I am not a Mac owner, but I want to switch just like so many other users if companies like Creative would just wake up and offer decent support...
>Actually, with a firewire audio output and a >receiver that accepts firewire input, you >wouldn't even need a soundcard
Why would you want that? Do you really want the CPU crunching audio information when the processing power could be used for other purposes? DVD Audio? THX certified? EAX? No, not by the CPU.
I support Firewire audio output (especially over CPU intense USB 1.1 or USB 2.0), but I want it processed by a soundcard first. If the soundcard processes the info first and digitally outputs it over Firewire, then I don't think there would be any problems with case noise. Secondly, if the soundcard outputs over its own Firewire port, then there would be no problems with it degrading another Firewire channel used for other purposes, versus having the CPU itself crunch the audio and then outputting the audio say over a mobo-based Firewire port.
I really do not understand the logic of Creative Labs. Why can't they offer up-to-date driver support for these other operating systems? Sure, they (Creative) are one of the featured Microsoft partners on *the Beast's* video ipod, but Nvidia makes the majority of the chips in the Xbox yet their relationship with MS doesn't hamper their ability to offer drivers for Linux, OS X, BSD, etc. Maybe they are just lazy. For all the talk about Linux adoption in Asia, Creative Labs sure is missing the boat, and they are a Singapore based company to boot! Maybe their CEO needs to be cained.
shades of Microsoft Bob anyone?

I'd rather hear stories about some of the off-the-wall projects Alan Kay worked at during his tenure as chief scientist at Atari myself...getting a budget of $100 million in 1981 (or 82?) for example...
I work for a State agency in, ahem, the nation's largest state. If you ask me, the problem has to do with IT staffers who only have jobs due to their Microsoft certifications (aka Microsoft "engineers" if you will). Mention one word about Linux and it freaks them out. And if you think that's pathetic, even in terms of proprietary software (ie. Microsoft), they won't even certify Windows XP because they probably haven't done the refresher courses. Our IT staff is under the impression you cannot have XP machines on a Win2K network! (and thus they are still buying computers with Win2K despite the fact that the support clock from MS is already ticking on that product). They look at me funny when I state I want to install Mozilla, Phoenix, or Netscape7 as my browser and then give me a lame excuse that they haven't been certified by the department's security (as if IE is secure!). Oh yes, even better. Our department creates its webpages from Frontpage2000. Most of the webmasters want to use Dreamweaver and actually do use it, but it has to be converted for use on Frontpage at the server level... Your tax dollars being wasted more than me typing this in on the job...:0
I'm wondering what the *ramifications* would be if the SETI Institute marketed a peripheral accessory kit that would take sample information on its users and then uploaded it to their server and then was beamed out into the cosmos. You know, like a home anal probing kit! Just think what the Zeta Riticulans could do with that info! No more tales of weird abductions of hillbillies or ignant 3rd World peoples who still haven't invented a plow or the wheel on their own...
I think I'll patent the device using USB 1.1, USB 2.0, Firewire and Firewire800, Blue*toof*, and all versions of 802.11 for the computer interface...
But something tells me Warren Cuccurulo is already working on it...
...if the aliens had some form of "Prime Directive" that would prevent them from sharing any of their knowledge with us... I'm thinking of that heartless "Enterprise" epsiode where Archer finally made the decision NOT to help that spacefaring species cure their fatal (to their species) genetic disease in favor of letting the dimwitted simpleton species inherit their *earth* from it...
However, it would be funny if they challenged on *prior art* grounds all of Microsoft's IP and then the whole company got carted away, to be used for food for the lizard aliens far far away... And that's why I run SETI! (spare the Xbox division though)...I wanna see Diana in all her 80's glory hair, cleavage, and red leather outfit!
I don't think that's correct. AOL was supposed to bring out a newer version of its AOL TV unit with Tivo built into it back in 2001 and it never happened. Currently, the AOL division is running a beta program for TiVo users to remote program their network enabled Tivo Series2 units via AOL... AIM is also supposed to run on Tivo Series 2 machines as well...
This whole argument is pathetic. If I pay my cable company for access, nobody is subsidizing me for using my PVR. If you get up to go to the bathroom during a commercial break, are all the other subscribers subsizing you? That is a ridiculous argument. My skipping over commercials that are not catered to my demographic is doing a service to the advertisers whether they know it or not.
People do this all the time with VCRs. Even modern VCRs claim to have a 30 second commercial skip to them. But when you add a digital device to the mix, the industry gets all anal...
Who are you, Jamie Kellner version 2.0?
I don't skip through all commercials. I watch compelling commercials. Personally, I have no use for tampons, so I skip through those commercials. *Urban* themed commercials I skip through because well, not my style. So its not my fault if advertisers simply purchase blocks of time without researching the actual program the audience is watching. My television habits via TiVo are better science than what market research companies receive from college student guinea pigs who'll say the *right* answers so they get paid...
