After looking at E-MUs webpage I can say that the OS X support for M-Audio cards are better than E-MUs (doesn't seem to be one for the 1616M laptop which I looked at so that was easy..)
If you go digital and have a receiver does it really matter? Except some CPU usage. Isn't it general knowledge that you don't get what you pay for with Bose? Maybe it's different with cheaper computer speaker packages.
Yeah, I know ICQ/AIM are huge in USA, russia, parts of europe,.. but for some retarded reason all swedes switched to MSN. I don't know if it was the girls in webcams or the massive usage of hotmail, sucks anyhow.
Skype didn't had the brand recognition, what made it get there was the easy setup yes.
MSN didn't had up until a year ago or something like that either.
But I was always on IRC so not much of a problem, and there are always e-mail...
I have a jabber user, but noone else uses jabber, so I'm not much helped with that... And it seems most stuff around jabber are dead nowadays so yes, it's open and all but noone gives a rats ass and use it so pretty useless anyway...
Skype are useless aswell, I've used SIP for my telephone for like 5 years or something, why can't people use a SIP compatible client instead of that closed down omg no reverse engineering crap called Skype? SIP can't travel thru all kinds of networks thought so that protocol Asterix has for VoIP may be a better choice, I'd still much rather see that than Skype.
To bad marketing and brand knowledge triumphs good products.
I know, but Safari takes REAL ram, atm: Safari, real: 448MB, VSIZE: 1.48GB.
I'm amazed how it still are only at 448MB actually... But anyway, I wasn't mentioning virtual ram.
20-30 tabs in Safari for a day will take you there...
I need to buy 4GB, but I should send this MBP back to Apple for warranty fixes so I haven't yet because I guess they will whine if I don't have the original modules with the machine aswell.
Anyhow I run adium and have ICQ, MSN and Jabber running and occacionally Skype. Most people I know only have MSN. So I run more protocols than they do.
But it took years before I got an ICQ account because IRC did what it did for me and was better at it. And MSN was just crap, from Microsoft, alternativ over the old one, couldn't handle offline messages, peoples nicknames look like shit, quite limited amount of text/message, universal plug&pray makes network configuration impossible and file transfers slow as fuck,... Windows which jump around all the fucking time, smileys, color codes, animations, all kind of bullcrap, do I really need to go on?
The Firefox 3 beta 3 was very slow in OS X, but I guess that is an OS X issue.
Multiple tabs in Opera plays weird because I have no idea how to make them view the tab to the right if you close one tab, and I don't want to close them in the way I have viewed them if I open lots of tabs (Like say I have 10 tabs, I find a page with screenshots and open 10 new tabs, then I close the page and want to get to one of the screenshots, but ohno, opera will view the last page I viewed instead, since the new ones doesn't count as visited pages or something, and I can't figure out how to fix that.)
Yeah, Opera caches stuff for long, for how long I have no idea, but it still uses much less ram than Safari, and in Safari when it have taken lots of ram if I start to close more tabs it uses MORE RAM!!?!?! Wtf is up with that? And if I close them more and more until there aren't even a Window left to save some ram it still use 6-700MB of RAM. It's major fucked up. I can't understand how Apple can release this shit. (And I run it in OS X on a MBP.)
What's wrong with IRC? Why do we need this IM crap anyway? It's much more fun to talk to many people or just be able to say "hi" to everyone and see if someone are there instead of sending PMs to everyone.
Back in the days people used ICQ for IM here (and maybe AIM in the US), but now all people over here use MSN, do we really need 10 different instant messaging protocols? Skype and now facebooks internal one... Fuck that, why can't people stay with oscar based ones if they really need them or not just use IRC.
If that's the case when cool, except whenever some religous moron decide that whatever religion they have are wrong their Internet connection will be screwed. Connection reset by Jesus?
Why do they cound 400.000 mosques as 60 million users? If I have 10 people in my appartment do my Internet connection become much cheaper then? To me the price seems to be 1500 times more than what they say for each 224 mbps connection, which are 2370 $. Sure the dollar are falling but it's still expensive as hell, and it's neither of cheapest or fastest there is.
Just marketing bullshit.
Who cares if there are 1500 possible mosques visitors in each mosque?
Except when you use Safari for a day straight and it take 1GB of ram and things stop working because you only have 2GB (but I'm sure it would take 3GB of ram after some time if I had 4GB so no difference) and then you have to copy all your urls and quit it to get your ram back. Very convenient...
Thought I'm more of an Opera person, but I have so many tabs in my Opera, which ofcourse are because it actually works..
That is you don't really own the music, you just buy the right to use it from the CD. Not that it makes any sense and why should they pay twice or more because they want to change format to something more convenient than fucking CDs? Retarded.
But then I don't buy music so not much of a problem for me.
They don't, just get a player which supports AAC and buy the non-DRM-version.
Or well, the deal, yeah, maybe, but I guess Apple could let other manufacturers use the same technique, or Amazon and/or whoever will start to offer similair services aswell.
iTunes and iPod aren't the only music stores and music players available.
In Opera my text in say a text area are keeped aswell if the developer of the page wasn't retarded enough to use javascript and not have it active from the begining or whatever.

1 simple solution: Use stereo headphones and virtual surround.
Most people can't hear a difference of say a 160/192 kbps VBR lame encoded mp3 and the CD source so does it really matter that it's mp3?

So what are the correct word to use in the case of Bush? AFAIK he's not a member of the Nazi party, he's probably ok with genocide thought,
he didn't saw it ;D
... and interlaced?
Replace spikes with maglev to.
Yeah, a much better solution would just be to let them sleep at night and travel in the morning... Or get robotrucks.
Ok, so I'm still running it, 801.54 MB memory usage atm.
Yeah because noone else offer music players or music.....
They don't, just get a player which supports AAC and buy the non-DRM-version.
Or well, the deal, yeah, maybe, but I guess Apple could let other manufacturers use the same technique, or Amazon and/or whoever will start to offer similair services aswell.

Btw, why do I have 3.0.4 if there is a 3.1 to begin with? Stupid Apple.
I think it did it from surfing alone. Opera 9.x works so why even bother.
