Sending HD quality family videos to family that they can just pop into the bdr under the tv. But macintosh never was a content production platform was it?;)
You know, authoring media like DVDs and BRDs is a bit different than popping a disk into the drive and yelling burn. Creating HD content and authoring and burning BRDs is possible and fully capable on a Mac, with professional content creation software. There is just no way to watch a BRD on a Mac. At least AFAIK.
Apple switched iPods, and by that decision later iPhones and iPads, to USB [after I think the 3rd generation iPods] because the FW controller in the device was too thick for their desires to make smaller/thinner devices, and the sheer speed and peer-to-peer qualities of FW were not necessary for users of iPods. You do a large transfer maybe once or twice, not all the time like a FW hard drive or something. Later, it is just a 20-100MB transfer, no problem for USB.
Thanks for this reply, you are correct in all of this, I was simplifying the idea, but yes, there would be need for retrofit in the water system, but the fact that there is a groundwork for this is a plus.
And yes, personal or localized power generation solves one of Google's largest concerns, which is the electricity reliability and cost.
There is a reason they are wanting in right now in the process of the smart grid development in the US and the data that it will produce.
THis is an added bonus since paper mills typically have a closed loop system for the water use. They sequester the outflow since it contains possible toxic or harmful substances to treat and reuse in the process. This would be feasible to use this system to assist in a cooling system for the structure, reducing the need for AC and even more electricity.
This will be interesting to see what goes on here, a possible model for using industrial structures by adapting and using existing infrastructure. Green methods in reuse and retasking.
It is also a very big building with a massive supply of electricity already installed. Paper mill machinery is very large and runs of major amounts of electricity, so buying a defunct paper mill is a very good idea on their part, as the retrofit will not be the total infrastructure of the building.
Because you are no using hydrocarbon that are in carbon sinks [oil] that would almost never see the light of day had we not dug it up. By using something like cellulose or grains, you have a carbon cycle. You grow the plant, which takes carbon from the air to grow, becoming the carbon holder, then you use it, releasing the carbon. But when the next crop is grown, the plant uses the carbon you emitted using the fuel from the last crop.
Now, I am sure it is not a net-zero result, probably a net-gain in carbon, but you are at least using something that can take much of the carbon that is emitted for use back to make a new plant.
And IMHO, anything is better than using resource heavy and subsidy heavy corn for ethanol and bio-diesel.
I swear I saw a post almost exactly like this on the Craigslist Apple forum one day about 8 months ago, this one has been slightly edited, but pretty much the same thing. Almost like a copy...
And I agree with the other reply, it really sounds like a hardware issue or possibly a corrupted file is in the batch you are copying. A 17MB copy or duplication on the same drive on my 1.67 PowerBook G4 takes about 2 secs. Maybe try the copy one at a time and see if you can ID any corruption.
Or, boot from the install/restore disc that came with it: insert disc, File>restart..., then hold the 'option' key down when you hear the chime, wait a min, select the hardware test button and run the tests.
Be aware that part of your argument is incorrect, as I am running the Abode CS3 Design standard and Web standard applications of a PowerPC based Mac as I type.
They are "Universal Binaries."
Apple pays Creative a one time fee of $100M to licence their patents.
Creative joins the 'Made for iPod' program making accessories for their competitor, Apple, who gets money for 'Made for iPod'.
Creative still HAS to defend it's patent against other competitors - that's the nature of patents - or licence it to them. If they do, Apple takes some of that money too. In a round-a-bout way, Apple is getting money back from it's competitors. Nice.
Creative have a much better case because Apple settled.
Creative still owns a valid patent. If Apple had won, there would be no patent so anyone could copy the Creative/Apple style interface.
Apple continues on as if nothing has happened. No long court case delaying sales. No injunctions to halt imports.
Explain to me why people think Apple lost here?
Creative knew it was about to get reamed by Microsoft's Zune which it's players aren't compatible with. They knew to get out of the market. Instead of legitimising Microsoft's offering, they've tied up with Apple. It might bug us that Apple have legitimised a bogus patent but it's otherwise very, very smart.
I think the thing that people are forgetting here is that by settling Apple is pretty much making Creative defend this patent, essentially outsourcing the litigation - they pay nothing for that. If Creative does not defend the patent, or loses any case setting new precedent, Apple could conceivably sue to get the $100 million back.
Plus, they get back money, as stated above, for the 'Made for iPod' program that Creative is now a part of, and the iPod ecology is enhanced. They have taken on a partner here.
This is a win for Apple thinking long term. Good chess playing.
I live in Fort Collins, and the post is correct. Quality of life here is better than nearby towns and cities I think in part due to the not-very-many-poles thing. It really helps. Oh, and business signs can't be higher than something like 9 feet above street level. So you can see the Rockies, but not the McDonald's 4 miles away [like in Mo where I used to live, ugh], which is a good thing.TM
Planning is key, but you have to start planning sometime. So if a city decides now is the time to bury all lines, they do it like that from now on, and re-do lines that they can as time goes on. Like here. BTW, not all lines are or will be buried. Oh, and I rarely see blocked streets due to power or telephone or CATV work, all under the dirt.
As a plus, and I think the buried lines have something to do with it, out property values are 15-20% higher that all surrounding communities north of Denver Metro/Boulder.
Bury the lines!
..FireWire is present, as it is on all new Intel-based Macs to date, proving that FireWire isn't going anywhere (anytime soon, anyway) on Apple's computer products. It also totally shatters Jason O'Grady's ridiculous predictions that "FireWire is gone completely from the new Intel iBooks", which were widely accepted as fact. Of course, it made zero sense at that time, too, but that didn't stop it from spreading around the net like wildfire.
Who accepts anything that O'Grady has ever said as fact? If they did, I feel sorry for them.
Rush Limbaugh uses Apple products too, and is a forceful proponent of them, and haaaaaates Windows.
How Macs helps him mock people in a childish way better than anyone else, I don't know though.

His statement was smaking of absolute fact [note the IS in all caps], and this was to show that this is, in reality, incorrect. Like the previous statements correlating Mac user to homosexuals or Windows users as sheep.
So yes, it does discredit what he said, in light of the connotation he was making.

HA!
Thanks, my internet is down, I was unable to google that myself.
So how are you posting this?
iMac can do multi screens, just add the proper adapter [to DVI/VGA] and plug in your new monitor. Easy.

Hear hear!
HA, so true
why is it crappy? any documentation on that? Do you even know where FW has strength? Who uses it? Your anecdote is weak and incomplete to be useful.

Is it just me or do those things remind you of the little killer robots Gene Simmons had in the bad Tom Selleck movie Runaway?

PowerBook 100 almost 3.5 years before PowerPC chips in Macs
O'Grady is a tool. The odds of him getting any prediction right, based on his history at PowerPage and now this blog, are about 10,000,000,000:1
Rush Limbaugh uses Apple...how does he fit the leftist of creative or even maverick title? I guess druggie.....
