It's a chair, that folds on impact, kind of like oragami. It is going to save Microsoft loads of cash with all the chair throwing that they like to do up there.
While I don't agree with apple making fullscreen movie watching a Quicktime Pro only feature, but maybe they are doing it to cover license costs of being able to encode into all sorts of formats that apple doesn't own? As well as the legitimate editing features?
During my entire Mac using experience (3 or 4 years now), Windows Media Player on my mac would work for about a week. Then it would suddenly stop working. The only thing that would get it working again was a fresh install, which of course I wasn't going to do, since MPlayer plays wmvs nicely.
Oddly enough though, the upgrade to 10.4.4 made WMP work..once. Then a friend linked me to the quicktime plugin. Thus far it works great. Best move microsoft has made in a long time...
except it is a point and click install of X11 (from apple noless), then a matter of using fink/darwinports for the other X apps you need..so GUI is indeed IN.
If only text messages really did stop one from disturbing the class. In theory - a text message wouldn't create any noise, but when all you want to hear is the professor, and you hear the clicking of someone's cellphone buttons (generally 2 - 3 quick successons), it is quite annoying and distracting. But otherwise - I agree completely.
I am having the exact opposite response to living in a rural area after living in a metro area my entire life. I moved to Wimberley, TX (about 35 miles south-west of Austin) a few months back for school at Texas State. Sure, there aren't as many choices for food here in town, I can walk most everywhere. And if I can't walk there, it's less than a mile away. But when I go back to town, I look around, and everything is so fake and fabricated, it's horrible.
When living in a metro area I would look out my window and see my neighbor's house. Now, when I look out my window (well, one of the 4) I see a nice creek, trees and deer. Did I mention it actually gets *dark* at night..and so quiet the only thing I can hear is the crickets?
I guess it takes the right mindset to really appricate living in a rural area, and it doesn't seem that one can enjoy it unless they really open up their eyes and ears and realize how awesome it truely is.
wow that is crazy. I never thought there were jobs for philosophy majors outside of teaching...not that it really matters anways. My job prospects probably won't be that great, but I don't care because I love what I am studying (International Studies - Asian Studies).
Getting a degree in something you are not passionate about is about the stupidest thing one could do. I mean, this degree, in theory at least, is going to be what you do until you retire in one form or another. Do you really want to be doing something you aren't passionate about for the rest of your life?
Going to school to learn something about something that interests you makes all the difference in the world.
Teaching them XCode and Cocoa and Objective-C is a great idea in theory. However Cocoa has a *huge* learning curve compared to Python et al. Sure - it is super power and super easy - once you understand it and everything clicks. Defently not something I think some high schoolers taking an *intro* to programming class should be taking.
Your idea for them building a web browser without touching code is great - but what do you plan to do after that half a period - maybe a period *max*?
I wish it was so - I tried to purchase some M-flo last night but couldn't because I am not in Japan. I wish we could buy music from other stores (if the artist wasn't in our own store - that way you can't play the currency conversion game).
He means Java on the *server* side. Just because it is written in Java does not make it an applet that your computer has to load. But if you really want to block all java - stop accessing all sites that use.jsp because their server uses java to prepare the page!
There is a very simple way around all of this...and I am supprised more people haven't found out about this yet...press the next chapter button. It has worked on every dvd played flawlessly..
I bet Apple is only releasing the source because they want to get back some of the warm and fuzzies that they lost when they announced they were switching to intel.
Actually - this 900MHz iBook was a free replacement for my 600MHz iBook. The rule is with apple, if you send in your product 3 times and it needs to go in a 4th time call up customer relations and request a replacement. That's what I did, ended up getting a 900MHz Combo Drive 40GB iBook when I sent them my 600MHz DVD-Rom 15GB iBook.
Of course the 600MHz iBook that I sent in was originally a display model from CompUSA....so it had been massively abused before I even got it.
I haven't had any durability problems with my 12" 900MHz iBook G3. I constatly throw the thing around (in my backpack into my car etc.) and have abused the hell out of it, and the only thing wrong with it is one of the little rubber feet fell off. I've had this laptop for about 2 years or so. My Sony laptop on the other hand...it was too big/fragile to treat to treat it like I do my iBook.

I always seem to be missing mod-points when there is something that needs modding up.

Apple doesn't use their own in-house graphics chipset. They use ATI and Nvidia chips...just like most everybody else it seems.

Because money can't buy happiness (though it can make misery a bit more bearable, though not by much).

He probably scratched it previous to that, but didn't notice until he pulled it out of his pocket.

That's my 2cents.
Correction. That's your 5 cents.
excellent. Now they will have the nice shade a blue to replace the rsod.

yea. I had Aqua in there - but then I thought that was too close to blue and picked green.
In other news the blue man group is now known as the green man group...
Because OS X won't run on most every machine out there like Linux will.
