The act of purchasing several pallets of G5's may not be a trade secret for MS but I'm sure their NDA covers many facets of their business information including purchasing and shipping & receiving. Fool breaks agreement, fool gets fired.
I think the recorder features of any portable device (that's not a dedicated recorder) is more for short notes like "buy the new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club CD" or "Great Jones Diner is at the corner of Great Jones & Lafayette."
Do you really think a cheesy recording on your mp3 player will save your ass better than the email thread showing ponity-haired's initial requests/demands? Or that a student who doesn't take notes to begin with would listen to them later on their player full of songs?
As long as you were having fun. Good God man! What were you thinking? What if Bigfoot was crossing the road while you were driving? Did you minimize that factor?
I've also taken my supra to 167 MPH on Interstate 84. I didn't kill anyone. Not even close, because I am a smart driver.
Not to sound confrontational but if you're as smart a driver as you claim then you would that know your comment is very foolish. There are innumerable factors, that no driver has control over, that can (and usualy will) effect the operation of an automobile at any speed. Everything from changing road conditions to flaws within the vehicle can cause problems.
Humans are foulable and by extension everything we think, do and create is subject to error.
I agree with you completely. That is why I've turned the ring volume of my work phone to a level that only I can hear it. If I'm not busy I'll answer it, otherwise I let voicemail handle it.
Unfortunately some people live by the phone; watch when a phone rings and see how people jump to answer it.
My boss is like that. You could be in the middle of an important conversation and when the phone rings he starts looking around for the cordless. If the phone rings more than twice he yells "Somebody get that!" It's a good thing we are a photo studio where the work atmosphere is more lax than an corporate setting.
When I had a land-line at the house I didn't own an answering machine. Caller ID let me know who called and I could decide if a return call was warranted because once a message is left the onus is on you to call back.
I have an answering machine at home and I've completely lowered it's volume and turned off the phone's ringer completely. If it's important they'll leave a message. Everyone who calls me regularly knows I won't answer. If they don't like leaving a message than that's their problem.
Screw that: the phone is a convenient tool for me not a backdoor by which others can invade my space and privacy.
When Apple introduced the Cube most people who saw it wanted one. Okay, maybe it was most Mac users who saw it wanted one. Either way, it did poorly because of it's price tag. See Apple's Press Release. It was very close to the price of a PowerMac G4 tower that had much more expansion capabilities. After a while Apple tried to lure people to buy it by offering rebates, but even then it was more expensive than a comparable iMac.
I just picked up a Cube with a 15" Studio Display for $600 this weekend. It is an incredibaly well engineered computer. I'm glad I spent the money on it.
For both these reasons, it does not make sense for me to support Apple with religious furvor until their systems are open. This means each facet of the hardware is completely and thoroughly documented. Said documentation is freely available to anyone who wants it. Multiple (more than 5) Hardware vendors are capable of supplying components for a Mac, royalty free. This will have the effect of both cutting the cost of the system, and nerfing Apple's ability to monopolize the industry.
Keep in mind that Apple is a hardware company. Sure they make a nice OS, but it is designed to compliment their hardware and make users interaction with it consistant and simple. Making each facet of the hardware completely and thoroughly documented would simply kill Apple.
I have read the charges against Martha as I have read most of the charges against all invovled with Enron. Just to cover my bases I searched for the charges against both at BBC News.
Martha's charged with securities fraud and obstruction of justice. But this article notes that former Enron finance chief Andrew Fastow has 109 charges against him. The first 78 federal charges (which he has plead not guilty) are of money laundering, fraud, conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
It looks like Fastow will be getting his ass bent over a couch for several hundreds of years in prison.
How could you say it was obvious if no one, except for the Enron execs, saw the collapse of Enron coming?
What seems obvious to me is that the SEC picks and chooses who to go after and how hard to punish them. They gave those Enron pukes a slap on the wrists for their crimes, but is making a big scene of punishing Martha, whose scam was chump change in comparison, by bending her ass over a couch.
Will the SEC be as severe with the SCO? I can only hope so.
Of coarse MS will appeal. They now have everything to loose. If one small company can succesfully prove that they [MS] infringed their patents, what's to keep others companies from following suit?
Then again I want that company dead, I want that company's campus burned to the ground I want to go there in the middle of the night, I wanna piss on their heads.
I think it's more like a game of Three Card Montey. Everyone with any amount of intelligence knows it's fixed to make you loose money. But there are those who play it because they think they can actually get something out of it; these are the folk who keep Three Card and SPAM alive and well. Getting these people to stop playing Three Card or answereing SPAM will help make it go away. The problem is that there are just too many out there to stop.
This method of combating SPAM is amazing to me. Admitingly I'm a little behind the geek times so my interest in this method was peaked when Apple released Mail.app. But I still use Mac OS 9 and am in no rush to run X yet so I'm glad to see there are alternatives that I can use.
I think the only reasonable way to rid the world of SPAM is to get the foolish folk who respond to it to stop. The reason there is so much of it now is that it seems to work; there are people who actually respond to it. If these people stopped responding to it the use of SPAM would most likely diminish.
Sending SPAM costs money. No sence spending that money if no profit is made.
The bulk of the Wireless Telegraphy Act seems to be aimed at preventing the interference of communique to & from commercial and transport vessels.
That's fine and dandy, but the iTrip does not transmit on frequencies outside of the F.M. spectrum.
If telegraphy is the use or operation of a telegraph apparatus or system for communication, then how is transmitting a low-level FM signal viewed as an interferance? Following this logic wouldn't high-level FM signals be violation of the same act?

A ball of fire that lasts until it uses up all available oxygen?
Yup. That's about right.
It's very simple but you'll need to have a little muscle.
Carry a G5 in one hand (by the handle) and this Honda Genny in the other. All while running iTunes and wearing a pair of MDR-DS5100's.
Pure audio bliss.
The Cuda IC is an integrated circuit on the main logic board of Power Mac G3's that provides several system functions, including
management of soft system resets
management of the real-time clock
software control of the power supply
G4's use the PMU99 power controller; most people call it the Cuda out of habit.
You may want to take a look around Apple's Power Mac G4 Discussions.
It's the ideal place to ask for help on these types of problems.
or for those who don't but are willing to click some links and read some pages, Macnyt has made an attempt to provide a relatively complete history of the Apple logo.
Now you're just being a loser.
Yup, you're right. That's okay though, I'm man enough to admit I made a mistake.
As long as you were having fun. Good God man! What were you thinking? What if Bigfoot was crossing the road while you were driving? Did you minimize that factor?
I don't know why. It's a perfectly cromulent word.

The next generation of Apple computers will run Intel or AMD 64 bit processors with the Linux-based OSX.
You state it as if it were a fact.
I seriously doubt that claim.
