Being German to me this is a good thing. I lived 32 years without even knowing that something like identity fraud existed.
Why is that? Because if someone wants to do business in your name he has to prove he is you. With his ID card.
Then i moved to the UK and learned about identity fraud.
The UK have identity cards, too. But they have no pictures, are easy to fake and are send every month by mail.
They are called "utility bills".
And for the paranoids: if the government wants to know where you live, they'd ask one of the few energy suppliers.
To me it seems a ID card less system has all the disadventages but none of the advantages.
There is a simple solution: just follow the mac rumour sites and skim the ideas which make sense (physical, technological, ergonomic, etc.) and turn them into products.
There is a problem with that.
People tend to not know what they want.
Noone demanded something like the iPhone.
The secret is to understand their wishes and offer them far more than what they've asked for.
Open any book about usability. On the first pages you'd come across the axiom to avoid creating a menu structure which is more than two levels deep. Gimp's menu structure on the other hand is deeply nested. There are so many basic usability problems which could be easily corrected without using any special software.

Yeah, because if you're not cautious all those pesky icons will fill up your 300 GB harddisk very quickly.
No moon, no spoon... will this constant desillusion ever end?

We don't use Apollo hardware because Apollo Computers is currently sued by Apollo Records. We need to wait how this comes out.

>Are you nuts or just stupid? As a previous poster said, the Apollo program cost $135 Billion. What private entity has that kind of capital lying around to spend doing something as extremely risky and dangerous as sending humans to another celestial body?
The BBC article says "After all, Mac OS is built on top of the Unix operating system and it, like its close relative Linux, has many well-known security problems that can allow it to be compromised.".

How are women more flexible in biology - where women are clearly overrepresented- to raise children opposed to mathematics?
Let's do the experiment and settle this puzzle once and for all.

Once they form the Department of Dark Energy they could post job ads reading "Come to the dark side".
In Neanderthal Russia the Neanderthals clone us. I for one welcome our cloning Neanderthal overlords.
Everyone knows, the LISA was a commerical disaster.
Say something like "It's not you, it's me. We had a good time. Can i call you in a couple of months?"

Well, if you'd bother to read TFA you would find out: 930 degrees Celsius.

What many people don't get is that the iPhone run "OS X", not "Mac OS X".
i don't care.

Maybe it was packed into the same box as the moon landing videos.

Java has lot to catch up? Even Cocoa has this feature which _now_. It is called "Predicates" (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Co nceptual/Predicates/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid /TP40001789). And i think Apple has much fewer developers than Sun.
You're obvously new to Slashdot.
AT LAST a userfriendly GUI on Apple plattforms.
Sorry, could not resist.
I dunno about the next level, but this one is incredibly well designed. If i only knew what my mission is.
it only affects 19x19 pixels emoticons.
/me heading to patent the 20x20 pixel emoticons since he thinks they will be the Next Big Thing (tm).
