  1. Re:Apple copying shareware again? on Mac OS X "Tiger" Server Previewed · · Score: 1

    Maybe once someone has implemented an idea, no one else should be allowed to even come close to making something similar? Yeah right. Competition is a good thing. The thing last year with the Camino developer crying about Apple including Safari with the OS is sort of the same. People will still use whatever they like best, and if that's Safari, or Dashboard then maybe the other developers should rethink their apps a bit.

  2. Re:Will be used in athletics for a limited time... on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 1

    Sure you can do it. You just need to block the protein from working, which they have already found a way to do. The mutation the kid has produces no myostatin, but blocking it would have the same effect.

    They shouldn't need a separate program to stop Outlook from doing something stupid. It should just not do something stupid in the first place.

    It's called a joke. Some people have no sense of humor at all.

    APPLE makes this to work with APPLE products. There is no law that says they have to make it completely open and work with everything. It works on a PC(w/iTunes) as well from what I've read so what's the big deal.

    I've seen a screener of Cabin Fever recently and that's not an old movie.

    So, yes they still are somewhat an issue.

  8. Re:Forget Andromeda... it's gone now on UPN Renews 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    That last episode was so screwed, I don't know what they were smoking when they thought it up.
    The show got lame near the end anyways, and didn't make a whole lot of sense.

  9. Re:why? on UPN Renews 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    Troi had to be the sickest, supposed to be hot, woman of all the ST series. I just don't understand how people liked her. She had a huge ass, and ugly face, topped off with stupid hair cuts all the time.

    Yeah, Voyager took a while to get good and for Janeway to drop the stone wall act(somewhat atleast). Hopefully they won't kill the show off and blam low ratings because they moved it to a bad night.

  11. Re:updating mac os x is harder over dial-up on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 1

    I can always max out my 4Mbit DSL connection downloading from Apple, while sometimes with Microsoft, it goes extreamly slow(like when I wanted to update to DirectX 9b to play Call of Duty). Also, when first updating XP, there are about 30 or more updates to install, not including SP1, which far outweighs OS X.

  12. Re:Big problem on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Considering most network cables are under the desk, you really expect people to climb under the desk to unplug it, turn on the computer and wait for it to boot, then climb back under the desk to plug the ethernet cable back in? Even if you keep your case on the desk(which most people don't that I've seen), that's still a huge hassle for the lazy asses that can't run windows update once a week.

  13. Re:Use the Firewall on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No offense intended, but you can't expect "normal"(dumbass) users to do what you do. Even though your solution may work well, they just won't do it.

  14. Re:All of this led me to one question on Manure-Powered Generators On The Rise · · Score: 1

    It's strange that I know how they catch the shit, but, when the cows are in the barn, there is a trough behind them with a conveyer system that brings it out to the holding tank/pit. I worked at a few farms when I was younger, not that I seek out how they catch it ;)

  15. So what? on Mac Trojan Horse Disguised as Word 2004 · · Score: 1

    The person creating a virus/whateveryouwannacallit, could just create a disk image(dmg), and have the icon be a legit MS icon, and do the same thing. That's what you get for downloading and running things that you can't trust.

    They could embed the private key into the application, so it would be very hard to actually find it.

    There's Limewire, which has spyware in it. I don't think it installs a bunch of crap that runs in the background collecting info though.

  20. Re:Please stop whining. on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC · · Score: 1

    Hear hear. A lot of people here seem to think that everything should be free, all the time. Maybe they really like it when companies outsource development to India so that consumers don't have to pay as much?

  21. Re:Incremental or Major... on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would like to see better integration between Interface Builder and XCode as well. From the last WWDC, I thought that it was going to be better than what it is. It's basically, design your GUI completely before writing code and IB will write your header files, or write it yourself, then "refresh" IB with your outlets to add connections etc. It would be really great if an outlet would be added for you when you add a new control to your interface, or if they would ask you if you want it created automatically, at which time you can remove it if you want. If they do this, they should also add the connection to the IBOutlet automatically. I would also like the Finder to refresh the desktop as soon as something is put on it, for example, through FTP or SMB.
