Oh bullshit. This kind of skiddie hacktivism is what spineless yobs do when they're too scared to go out and try to make a difference in the real world. It's just another breed of armchair combat, and a pretty sorry one as well. If you want to make a difference then do something out in the real world. Most people can actually relate to that. Do it through a computer and far less people will give a shit. Those who think they do are deluding themselves into believing that they're actually doing something great from the basement. It's lazy self-justification. Get your ass out into your community and do something in the real world. Few people give a shit about your online community.
I'm no expert, but my understanding is that a few breeder reactors could solve the problem by running from the waste over and over until whatever is left might make you sneeze. I've wondered about this, but aside from cost (as if permanent storage isn't costly), is there really anything wrong with that idea? I know that breeders can potentially be used to make plutonium, but it's not like the US doesn't have that capability already.
Well, then it's a good thing that Apple doesn't tell you that you can never change your Mac, has zero control over what apps you can use on it, and has zero control over what you do with it.
Not to mention Apple usually pricing peripherals highly. Third party vendors will step in like they always do and offer a cheaper alternative.
Oh, and Mojokid is a retard. I always have to laugh at the morons calling Firewire dead and obsolete. It's still alive and kicking in the pro A/V world, you idiots. Firewire audio decks are quite common. A lot of pro-grade cameras still connect via Firewire.
Look at the prices on Llano boards. A bit over $100. Considering you can get an 1155 board for $100, the Llano winds up being a tad more expensive. Then you can drop a $60 5570 into the i3 and beat the Llano on every front for perhaps $40 over the cost of the Llano CPU + board.
Llano definitely has a future in laptops, but in desktops? There isn't much reason to go with it, I'm afraid.
Really? I thought I'd read somewhere that it wasn't coming, and that wouldn't surprise me at all. I'd still think that there were issues with FCP7 in Lion. Apple has officially EOL'ed FCP7, so I doubt there will be any official support under Lion.
THIS. It wasn't so much bloat as aging code. FCP7 was still running on the old Quicktime engine and couldn't use more than two cores for a lot of things. No 64-bit support. FCPX fixes that and is EASILY several times faster on an i7 than FCP7. Final Cut has been in desperate need of a rewrite for quite some time now and they finally made it happen. I can understand some professionals getting upset, but I'll wager that within six months, the bulk of the complaints will be addressed and people will really dig into it.
FCPX is very young. Apple has outright said that there are more features to be implemented. I'd wager the reason they released it this soon was because FCP7 uses the old Quicktime engine, something Apple likely didn't bring along for 10.7.
$99/year? What the hell are you smoking? Is the AppleTV now a subscription device or are you talking about the now-defunct MobileMe? In either case you're quite out of the loop. iCloud costs NOTHING unless you want to use the iTunes Match service.
Why do people keep bringing up the AppleTV? Jobs has said numerous times that it's more of a hobby device that they're hoping to take somewhere. They never had lofty expectations for it.
I can fault MS for a lot of things, but C# is nice, and their interface builder is a piece of cake that takes the agony out of building a UI. I'm pretty sure that Hitler and Stalin are building Java UIs by hand right now...
I can search the Seattle area for entry-level/junior developer positions and get hundreds of results, and for far more than just web developers. Are you only searching in your immediate geographical area?
Baloney. There are TONS of US jobs out there for entry level programmers. Crap software tends to be what gets outsourced. Most companies want to keep their stuff domestic and under their own roof if they want good stuff.
Music cloud service that requires iTunes. Gee, so does iCloud, and it doesn't cost you a damned cent, and even if you get the iTunes match service, it's STILL cheaper than this! You could say that Android users would go for it, but there are already better services there, too, and what goddamned Android user is actually using iTunes?
Hancock was disappointing. It could've been much better than it was and had some great elements in the character, but they mired it up with Charlize Theron's character not making much sense and the massive contrivance of the guys from prison deciding that they'll break out and kill the invincible guy with fucking guns (you know, the things that can't hurt him) right when he just happens to be vulnerable due to yet another contrivance in the script. I wanted that movie to be so much better than it was.
But I can certainly agree with the sentiment of wishing to see that kind of movie.

Because trespassing isn't a crime, right? Fuck off.
Um...yes. You can wipe a Mac clean and install any OS that supports the hardware on it.
How do you think Intel Macs can boot XP? Apple's EFI has a BIOS compatibility layer.
Except that you can still use GCC and a number of alternative SDKs on OS X. Nobody is forcing you to use XCode.
Well, then it's a good thing that Apple doesn't tell you that you can never change your Mac, has zero control over what apps you can use on it, and has zero control over what you do with it.
/. users are.
It annoys me how clueless
Are you kidding? Scrawny, pasty fresh meat? They'll get passed around like currency and get out with a pair of knockers tattooed on their backs.

The Llano is about as fast as a Radeon 5550. Good for an integrated GPU, but lousy in the grand scheme of things. A $60 5570 handily outruns it.
Oh, for crying out loud, people are still mining Buttcoins? Didn't that laughable bubble collapse already?

Except that anyone with FCP7 wouldn't be able to upgrade due to the old QT framework missing from 10.7. Apple rushed this out to mitigate that issue.

Weird Al albums are about the only music I ever pay for. I don't care if he streams it or not. I'm happy to buy it.

So being a bug chaser is now a profession? Who knew?
