No link tracking only works for shortcuts, something apple has had since i think system 8. No I can move(aka drag and drop) the preference and data files for one particular application to my encrypted drive. Now the next time that application loads it goes to look for it's preference files at the new location which then tries to mount the encrypted drive. That asks for a password to decrypt it, and then mount it. The application then finishes loading.
Try moving firefox's bookmarks some times and see what happens? On pure OS X apps nothing changes as far as the end user knows, In windows or linux it thin s there aren't any bookmarks.
Why not in OSX a combination of OS and filesystem data allows me to move applications while they are in use. I can uninstall an application or change it's directory location and all files know how it gets opened again and where it moved to.
Literally you can move an application to a thumb drive, and the next time you open a file that launches said app it will try to mount the thumb drive if it isn't already done so. I get so frustrated in locating files under windows. Why can't the OS get out of my way so i can work? if it takes a file system, and OS to track them properly the so be it.
As for the missing file in the description. most applications include a recent file list as does windows(since 95) and OS X. if you can't remember where you put something, try checking those speed lists first. It is like people only want windows and then refuse to read the dialog box that pops up every time they click on the start button. It is as bad as bill gates with outlook open goes to the task bar to find a calendar.
So not everything apple does is also a hit. The companies that have track records of hits keep trying different approaches until something awesome comes out.
Google, Apple and a few others are looking for a perfect product and lots of things fail along the way. Not every idea is workable on a massive scale.
at 10,000 a pound to launch the shuttle, weight reduction is most important. sending up lead computer cases because hardening a processor is hard is not an option when plastic weighs several pounds less.
Also up until 3-4 years ago the hubble was going to be shut down in the next year or two and was only extended later. Unlike the mars rovers the hubble's life won't magical extend.
10 years ago the idea of a common currency among European's was absurd. eventually you can realize that if your open enough as a society each area can maintain their own unique history and indentiy under one government. If you ever wondered why the USA has different regions with different tastes, styles, and history then you would understand this. Everything from moonshine in the south , to micro breweries in the north, to texas, and california, this country does things a little differently everywhere.
um you should get your story straight. there are 50 separate governments within the USA, not all of them have death penalties and of those that do, less than half kills more than one person a decade. The only notable exception is the same idiot state that brought us George Bush. the USA is closer to european union than to one country. A fact that is often forgotten.
you do realize that most e-voting machines run windows right?
The base OS in these machines is fscked from the beginning, there is no way to secure them completely.
If they used Open BSD, stripped of all unnecessary components compiled from scratch from at least two different compilers to double check all the out puts and inputs then you have a reasonable base to start with. DRM on all software pieces is also needed. at the very least a hash system to approve updates unless they occur 10 days before and 10 days after the election day. During that time no updates should be allowed. while it doesn't prevent tampering, it does limit options and things can be double checked so anomalies can be seen easier.
a laptop is stolen weekly with 10000 credit card numbers on it. Yet the companies only respond to it when it affects their bottom line. This has to be law as it will take another decade before most companies even think about it.
here is the kicker you can't easily run citirix and windows apps across a WAN. too much bandwidth that is lag sensitive.
my company runs an AIX server with ssh access. each user literally SSH's into the server which loads up the acccess to the point of sale/inventory database. Everything important is tightly controlled. but the fact that you can run it over a dial up 36.6 modem effectively means that even if the internet is choking you can still work.
your completely ignoring one very painful fact. every manufacture has different intensities for their lights. I was driving behind a large ruck whose tail lights where so bright I though he was riding his brake for half a mile, until he really did tap his brakes and they got even brighter.
While the tech is there it would require calibration of the lights, knowledge that older drivers have poor eyesight and need can't judge intensities as easily, as well as inspections to make sure they fall within the appropriate levels.
Actually I would rather beat Bush for pushing us farther down the iceberg. But he wasn't the only one, rebpulican democrat it doesn't matter, each president has taken more and m ore freedom away from the. individual
not quite. there is one less layer of crappy software in a linux OS/diebold voting software vs windows OS/diebold voting software.
For every layer of crude and useless software you remove from a computer the greater the security will be. Next up replace diebold software with the mostly open source version from Australia, or Brazil. Software that could be vetting by every security specialist around the country faster than diebold can do a single release.
you can't understand the government until you become a member of the government. And the first rule of government is to not talk about how the government works.
people don't go learn new things that are important to them after a certain age, unless they are part of the 5% kind of people who continuously learns new things.
I know three women roughly the same age. One was a teacher, one was a midwife, and the third a business women who owned her own company for 25 years.
Can you guess which one was taken piano, cello, and golf lessons in the past year? Can you guess which one teaches sailing to other women? Can you guess which one you have to walk through sending emails in outlook as it is different from AOL?
I am sorry but when you change someone from AOL email to outlook and they can't figure it out it is a sign that they don't want to learn anything new. not that they have better things in life to learn.
Oh and for your answers. The teacher learns, the midwife teaches, and the business woman is useless for everything but being a grandparent.
your damn straight that is why i run an OS that gets out of my way and lets me work.
OS X.
if I tell it to ignore an update it does. If I tell it to to open only my choice of web browser it does. If I want my documents to work on multiple platforms to converse with more people than MSFT office allows guess what it does.
I do have more interesting things to do than fart around with a computer that fights me with false positive WGA responses. I don't have an hour to spend with tech support because of such issues. Your choice in computers is like your restaurants. Just because you like McDonald's because they have served over a billion people doesn't mean that it is healthy for you.
Also finding a substance to replace rubber that also saves on gas isn't a waste of time. Bridgestone, and Michelin do just that to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Intellectual people know this.
that is more true than many realize. in my humble opinion 90% of users are nothing more than monkeys clicking keys in order to get the desired result. The same applies to cars. all they truly know is that you put a funny smelling liquid into it, turn a key, and wiggle the steering wheel around while pressing buttons on the floor to make it go and stop. It isn't complicated to understand the thing is they don't want to know.
it is the difference between memorizing a method and understanding the concept. you can set me down in front of any computer and I can learn the ins and outs of it in hours, (longer with more command line options). After a while some people stop learning, and everything after that point is a struggle.
That is what really gets me. AT&T and Apple's deal isn't abnormal in the cell phone industry. Certain phones don't show up in certain regions because of such deals.
The big plus of this whole lawsuit is that all this will be made public and the cell phone industry will be forced to change. Like Apple broke open music downloads by forcing an industry to be more open (and closed), maybe this lawsuit will break open the cell phone industry. Of course it won't be apple leading the charge but defending the old ways but hey you must start somewhere.
I have three copies of my gmail going at any one time.
a pop3 download only to my main computer, which is regularly backed up onto another Hard drive. an imap synced with my iphone, and googles copy.
If google closes it down, and my iphone goes stupid, I still have a full copy of my email, and a full backup copy of that.
to lose my email I would have to burn down my house with my iphone in it on the same day google shuts down forever. and trust me the last thing on my mind if my home burned down would be my emails.
um the iphone 3g has a regular jack, the sd card isn't needed because as soon as you plug your ihpone into your mac it automatically downloads every new image from the camera into iphoto.
also sd cards have a nasty habit of getting lost or broken at least with me. I need something that doesn't bend in half easily.
All that said I don't use the camera on my iphone not because I can't use but it sucks compared to my 5 megapixel digital camera with sd cards(that I have lost 2 of). The simple fact is I use my iphone as a phone, and mobile internet device. if I wanted a digital camera I would have bought a pocket sized sony model with real lenses.

Well that's to prevent virus infections. XP would crash and auto reboot hence why it had more viruses that win98.

The solution would be to build an engine that runs on co2, so we can put it back into the atmosphere for the machines to suck it back up.
The problem is then they will cancel those two and release 4 more copies of tiger woods, or john madden
