Ummm, I don't have Appletalk on my Macs, but then they are a bit newer as well.
As for the B-Tree error: I never had that on any of my machines at home either. Public machines that are in a lab I wouldn't really take as an example as to how "good" any given OS is.
Games like the one in the Myst series are released at the same time.
It seems that lately they are starting to work on the Mac version at the same time they do with the PC version and most of the time they seem to release them now at the same time as well.
Ubi Soft, with Myst, has shown that you can combine both. I picked it up at bestbuy and it contains both the Windows and the Mac version.
BTW,the conversion of DOOM3 seems to be harder to do than one might think. It was originally supposed to come out in August, then October, now apparantly April for the XBOX, why did it take them so long? The XBox IS a PC after all.
if the idea of having a computer for you is to tweak it and play with it then a Mac isn't for you. If you just want it to "work" and don't have to worry about, then I really suggest you get one.
I had one of those, even AFTER the gurantee had expired Apple still serviced, for free. They pretty much ripped all the pices out and got me a new one.
Now that's what I call service. How long did it take me? All but 10 Minutes on the phone talking to the guy, then 5 minutes to get the paperwork done over the phone, and 10 minutes to walk the iBook to my local Mac dealer (I didn't want to ship it, as I knew the guys in the store).
Morale: Better than what I got from Dell when the keyboard of my Inspiron died within the first two weeks.
Honestly, someone I cared about was killed by a suicide bomber, and you came up with that response, I'd beat the living shit out of you. I'm sure the cops would cheer me on.
Good for you.
Now let's first correct your grammar, it has to be:
"Honestly, if someone I cared about was killed by a suicide bomber, and you came up with that response, I'd beat the living shit out of you. I'm sure the cops would cheer me on."
Now on to your hatemongering: If someone you know would have died in a suicide attack you most likely would not want to debate the meaning of innocence.
But this is a hypothetical discussion not one of personal grieve.
The keyword here is PERSONAL grieve. A death is ALWAYS a personal tragedy, rarely (if ever) one of global / far reaching / earth shattering consequences.
The concept of "innocence" is the same thing. It implies something that is "pure" "precious" and needs to be protected by all means.
Problem with this is: From an evolutionary standpoint it doesn't matter, life has no meaning in and on itself, sure, offspring is precious for the parents as it guarantees our genetic survivial, but in our most primal characteristics it is better if the "other one" dies off, hence more food and chances of survival for our own offspring.
What you two noobs need to learn is to differentiate between your personal emotions when it comes to your own family (and friends) and to a scenario.
And hey, if you want to punch me: Come on, I am sure you're smart and can find my address, come on and try your best.
I do not believe that anybody is innocent, not me, not you. If you truly believe this I suggest you go back praying and stop shooting your mouth of in the Forum.
Innocent or not, has nothing to do with the fact if a person deserves to die or not. It seems to be you who thinks he can decide when someone has "lost" his or her innocence and is "free to be blown up." My how might you have to feel.
And as for your Google attempt, go on, do your worst, if someone reads the entire discussion all they can do is laugh at you how feebel and childish you are, no wonder nobody wants to play with you.
Then you, Mr. Michael Kalus of Edmonton, Alberta; are out of step with the rest of civilization.
You seem to think it's ok to kill a 4 year old, which makes you are a horrible person.
How did we get from "Not Innocent" to "It's okay to kill a four year old boy"?
Children cannot do anything to make them guilty enough to deserve death by any means-- by a Palestinian suicide bomber, Israeli bulldozer or the American military.
Ah? So when exactly does one stop being a child and become "worthy" of "deserving death by any means"?
A person who purposely kills innocent children is a murderer of the worst sort, and should be killed or locked away to protect the civilized people.
My objection was to your use of the word "innocent" that is what I am objecting with. But let me turn your argument around.
According to you it is perfectly fine to kill and maime people that are "adult" (what is an adult still has to be defined in this discussion), only kids deserve all the protection they can get, once they are not a "4 year old" anymore (5? 6?) it is okay to have them killed.
Children cannot do anything to make them guilty enough to deserve death by any means-- by a Palestinian suicide bomber, Israeli bulldozer or the American military.
See, this is were we differ. I do not draw the line at ANY imagined "line" as you draw it up. I am way more to the point that NOBODY deserves an untimely death.
A person who purposely kills innocent children is a murderer of the worst sort, and should be killed or locked away to protect the civilized people.
What now? Locked away or killed? Make up your mind, just a couple of paragraphs up you were stipulating that only kids don't deserve death, everybody else is fair game.
However, since you used your real name to state this horrible opinion in a public forum, I hope your reputation is scarred for the rest of your life. The internet has a long memory, and the name "Michael Kalus" will forever be associated with your sympathy of suicide bombers and child killers.
Meanwhile you are hiding behind an pseudonym, afraid of being hold to your own words. That's really mature of you.
BTW, while you're at it, why don't you go ahead and post my home address and phone number(s)? You obviously seem to want to take that personally, I can't wait for all your loony friends to show up at my door.
I do not believe that a four year old is innocent. We all are guilty of something. Just because a four year old might not be abel to apprehend this fact (or understand it) doesn't make it any different.
After all, if you commit a crime, even though you don't know that what you do is breaking the law, you are still as guilty as if you had known it and done it.
Now there are ways to give you "credit" for not knowing something, but that doesn't change the matter of the fact.
But please, tell me why *I* should be locked away for life because of this believe?
Or differently: People WILL be willing to pay more because now they can get it right away, don't have to get in their car and stand in line with the unwashed masses.
They have the worst excuse for Free Speach until you get to 3rd world contries controled by dictators.
??? Example?
They baby their citizens so much by giving them free everything, and they pay though their nose in taxes for it.
What is it? Everything's free or people are paying through their nose?
Then they have the nerve to put tariffs on other countries who have a tax rate less than their 70%.
When? For what?
The French need to grow up and realize that some countries still beleive in economics and free enterprise, while France may not, they don't control the world and they can't force their socialist views on the rest of the world.
Which country would that be? (and don't dare say the US, because they are not about free enterprise either, otherwise stop the high taxes on softwood lumber and other goods).
In the Winter in summer don't turn the AC on that much.
also some other things one can do:
- Try to buy food that has been locally grown. - Turn off TV, Lights etc. when you are not in the room. - Hang your clothes for drying, don't use a drier. - Run dishwashing- and waschingmachines only when they are full. - When eating out, don't eat at chains, as they tend to cart the food pretty much across the country.

Isn't that what we complain about so much with IE and Active X?
Just wondering.
Ummm, I don't have Appletalk on my Macs, but then they are a bit newer as well.

Just my 2 cents though.
You know what my solution to that problem was?
Get a console.
Oh, and I still play things like the Myst series on my Powerbook just fine.
Games like the one in the Myst series are released at the same time.

Chances are that everything you are using right now as a similar (if not the same) program available on the Mac.
Most of the Media apps I would be very surprised if they did not exist for the Mac.
As for games. Well, i got an XBox and a Gamecube, and they pretty much scratch that itch (and more and more games ARE coming out on the Mac as well).
Well,
if the idea of having a computer for you is to tweak it and play with it then a Mac isn't for you. If you just want it to "work" and don't have to worry about, then I really suggest you get one.
You mean the one with the faulty logic board?

What's your definition of "Innocent"?
I don't buy in that filler argument.
This might be true for "made for market" "artists" but most bands / composers usually put a lot of thought in their CDs.
I have more than one CD that I bought because of one or two songs but then over time came to realize how good the other tracks were as well.
Oh, those guys know their shit, too bad that they only know their little piece of the pie and don't see the whole picture.
I can have a thousand wonderful islands, but if I can't connect them then they are pretty much useless.
Welcome to the world of modern "Powerprogrammning" where this is the norm.
You DO know what the work of an architect involves, don't you? No? Didn't think so.
Funny,
I thought Season 1 had promise, season two I found really bad, season 3 I thought was just outright stupid.
Now at Season 4 I am back at the "well, that could get interesting" stage.
The magic word is: "Instant Gratification".
Or differently: People WILL be willing to pay more because now they can get it right away, don't have to get in their car and stand in line with the unwashed masses.
Umm, what exactly do you think happens in Europe? The Government has to approve of anything a company wants to do?
Tax rates in Europe (for companies) are roughly the same as they are in North America, actually there was a study released recently, go google for it.
1. I am not Canadian, though I happen to live here righ tnow.
2. So you are against tariffs until they help yourself. Little bit of a hypocrit are we?
3. If the Canadian People (== Government) decides to support their business then why shouldn't they be allowed to?
4. It is not easy to get a logging permit in Canada either as far as I can tell (not being a logger myself and all that).
??? Example?
What is it? Everything's free or people are paying through their nose?
When? For what?
Which country would that be? (and don't dare say the US, because they are not about free enterprise either, otherwise stop the high taxes on softwood lumber and other goods).
Depends on where you live, if it is a dry cold layering is the key.
Also, once you get start moving you tend to get warm pretty quickly.
In the Winter in summer don't turn the AC on that much.
also some other things one can do:
- Try to buy food that has been locally grown.
- Turn off TV, Lights etc. when you are not in the room.
- Hang your clothes for drying, don't use a drier.
- Run dishwashing- and waschingmachines only when they are full.
- When eating out, don't eat at chains, as they tend to cart the food pretty much across the country.
If we would all be intellectuals and (maybe more so) idealists the world would be a better place.
But, having said that, 99% of the population are sheep, as long as they are warm, have food and some (positive) distractions, they're happy.
If it really checks for WINE and then refuses the update that is clearly discrimination.
Unless you strongly believe that the only reason someone might be running WINE is to run Warez.
I could see quite a few reasons why someone might want to run Office in WINE instead of installing a full fledged Windows just to use word.
Couple of years ago there was a company that wanted to put Kiosks in Stores where people could burn their own Music CDs / DVDs.
Guess what the industry said no and that was that.
Now you have a guy in a Laundromat who is providing this service. Guess the people have spoken.
