Mac OS X interface IS resolution-independent from 10.0
do research on facts before posting. And moderators are idiots
P.S. There are optimum DPI. That optimum is simple - lovest DPI that overexeeds human eye resolution. For now such resolution is only achiveable on Philips/E-Ink electronic paper, in monochrome.
>people who don't understand that they can't do memory management as efficiently as a machine, people who don't understand that pointer-based code is usually slower and inhibits optimization opportunities, and people who overestimate their own ability to avoid pointer errors.
People you are talking about actually are bad programmers. Kinda fools that don't know who they are.
And you want to tell that you program in C since 1975 and still have troubles with speed, memory and pointers? Man who probably begun on 4-8 mHz with 64-512 kB memory minicomputer? C'mon.
>...I think that the point of capitalism is to offer the greatest and most efficient distribution & exchange of resources to individuals at the lowest possible cost...
What is the base for this thought?
Take a look at bees and ants - there's "greatest and most efficient distribution & exchange of resources to individuals at the lowest possible cost". Another example of "most efficient distribution & exchange of resources to individuals at the lowest possible cost" - sleeping people in "The Matrix" movie. By the way, lowest possible cost - WHO exactly pay it? I mean lowest possible cost OF WHAT and FOR WHO?

Two things:
1. Click on TFL and take a look at that cite. Theres answers for yours stupid assumptions.
2. Protecting software aimed not at uncrackability but on GETTING TIME UNTIL NEXT VERSION.
Example: Mac OS X Intel 10.4.2 WAS NOT cracked until 10.4.3, and thus - it will never be cracked. Got it?
Thanks. Seen that, yesterday - looking at oscillogrammes, all of them exept shuffle are just crap. Looks like there are unsufficient power from supply or in-line capasitor in output lines. I'd like to see such grafs with external power for players. I'd like to see such grafs with 47 k instead of headphones. Looks like there are plenty of room for thing like "Belkin audio purifyer"
>The voltage levels for line inputs have been standardized for years and is quite non-critical anyway -- while standard line level is 2 V P-P for 0 dB
There are plenty of standarts. For example, 250 mV, 750 mV, 755 mV, 1,0 V. All my home equipment runs at 250 mV. So, 1 V is a 6 dB OVERLOAD of input in my case. I'm sure, you know this is bad. And almost for sure is hearable even at 70 MPH
>Impedances are even more trivial -- a typical line input as an impedance around 15 K ohms, which is easier to drive than the 600 ohms
Yes, you can get same voltage easy. So what? How about matching output impedance, for proper work of output amlifyers in iPod? Look at your's AV receiver - 50/50 it has "LOW Impedance" mode for speakers. And there are only difference between 4 and 8 Ohms! You are talking about difference 600 to 15000. You HAVE TO think hard about this while designing such devices. Or you WILL hear distorted sound even at 70 mph in subway.
looks like you missed the point of parent post. Parent tells that Apple not patented that thingy coase they not invented it and it was invented long before patenting question stands.
Your examples are nice, but seems that Apple can at least arguably pretend at inventing all of them (may be exept overclocking;)
Heh, good old times... Pure assembly, counting every byte and clock cycle, permanent competition - who's program is smaller and faster? Can I do it better? Compilers (working), written for bet of interest from zero in assembly in three days, debuggers, hand written replacement libraries for commercial compilers...
sadly, it's gone for me. Now I just can't do what I before lazied to do.
I was born in Ukraine, been a student in Kharkov, live now in Russia for like 10 years. My family lives still in Donetsk region.
Look at your own press, man. Same at least shit. And Putin is definitively the best president of all 3, Russia and USSR got. Need a proof? Go get it - economical stability and growth. All the time Putin is president.
In fucking 90(?) I woted for division of Ukraine from USSR. Know why? Because Ukr has like 34 % of USSR production and like 20% of population. Got what I mean? Ukrainians for now have to be 1.7 times reachier than Russians. Instead you still have fucking demonstrations and mitings, and kinda "democracy" in press (what a naivity!).
But I earn in 3 days my mom month salary. Or my father. Or my brother, which still lives there.
"I feel that the economic value of a press...that is able to protect...anonymous sources outweighs the economic harm"
Question is - from my point - have a fair press moral rights to a) protect people who actually broke signed contract - i.e. broke the law and their own say word of honor; and b) invite people to act like that. I'd say - no and no. First - not to cover and protect liars and lawbreakers and second - not involve people to be liars and lawbreakers. For fair press, at least. And only fair press deserves to be protected.
And keep in mind, that in this case we have nothing to do with political censorship or repression, against which actually that 1-st amendment is pointed.
How f**ng stupid you have to be to say that if YOU slap YOURS coffee on YOURSELF, sitting in YOURS relative car means that SOMEBODY harm you?
It's clean as sunlight: McDonalds better gives her some money than get negative publicity. So she was told by some smart advocasy.
By the way, MD's coffee cups was WERY hot themselves, so I just can't get how she can harmless hold it and than be harmed by coffee in such serious way.
>>Music does sounds livelier and closer to the source without EQ
>A very broad and naiive statement, and again one that is completely untrue. Do you think when you listen to your favourite album that no EQ has gone into the production of it all?
It doesn't matter. When you get music, it's already equalised to level, approved by sound specialists and musician itself at studio. Do you really think that sound engeneer thinks like "hey, I'll lover bass here cos they anyway pimp it up" ?

Not to pun you. Just think on that a bit deeper.

Updated 2 macs today - seems like it more depends on startup HD clutter - 2x1ghz G4 booted faster than 2x1.8 G5
First reboot after this update WILL BE LONG.
A lot of minutes on G5 2x1.8 (YMMW)
Just wait.
And after second reboot all will be ok.
There are some heavy things system doing during first reboot.
Don't shut it down or hard reset!

As I can get this.
"You are, after all, the only one asking that question."

That scares me most of all...
Sorry, I was, say, a bit harsh.
But I think, you got my point. All that story is not about freedom, it's about money - and looks like almost nobody can't get this.
"Apple doesn't have cause to expect their marketing plan should remain private."
So, why you are better than Apple? Or me? Or anyone?
And f@$ng moderation to +2 insightful!
"I'm not a public figure and my medical history has no relevance to the public."
What a bullshit!
I personally and 10000 my friends over net have now strong interest in your's medical history, financial records and private photos.
Got the point?
Who will differ - and how? Like - yes, you can have interest on this one but not on that!
Shit. What a shit!
The question is "MONEY"
