... and I've been wanting to set it up to run Linux, but on an external firewire drive. Does anyone know if this is possible? I actually don't want to mess with dual-boot OS loaders, but somehow be able to select it from the Startup Disk option in System Preferences in OS X. I don't want to mess around with partitioning the internal drive or modifying the boot sector and all that sort of thing.
I want to be able to boot Linux on an external drive, but when I want to use OS X, I just boot it without the external drive connected and have a clean OS X system without any modified partitioning or a modified boot sector. The reason I want it that way is because I want to just get my feet wet first, without actually making any dedication, at least initially. I'd need to use an external drive anyway, because my internal one is pretty full.
I've tried to use a Knoppix LiveCD, but it wouldn't boot properly, and ended up in a terminal window that gave messages in German and had the keyboard mapped differently, so I couldn't even type. I don't know of any other PPC LiveCDs.
I've tried installing Linux on an old Toshiba Tecra 740CDT, but had problems with the video drivers, and the graphical environments were too sluggish.
It would be impossible to do such a study, because there's no available control group.
I can recall in the 80's that Taiwan was producing Apple II clones that weren't legal in the US but proliferated in Southeast Asia. I wonder if the semiconductor industry in Taiwan is now more developed and influential than it was back then because of profits gained from ignoring intellectual property restrictions and manufacturing computer clones. Economies with overly restrictive patent laws may end up crippling themselves while those that ignore them become more dominant.
In OS X, it installs and launches an application without any intervention from the OS after clicking on the "Install" Flash object on that page. It doesn't initiate a download and require you to launch it on your own, but rather does all that automatically. Installs normally prompt OS X to ask for an administrator password, but not in this case. It seems like it bypasses the sandbox environment of the web browser, even if it isn't a *.swf that you've saved and opened locally.
I looked at flash and was happy to see that a flash *.swf file saved and run localy, can't do anything more then when its on the web
This page on the Macromedia site can install an application called Macromedia Central and launch it, all through Flash. It's disconcerting to see an application appear on the dock in OS X, launched from the web through Flash. I haven't tried it out on Windows, but I presume it works the same. It feels like a security hole that can allow software to be run outside of a sandbox environment.
Well, chances are, if you dropped dead while talking a walk, you'd be looking at the sky. So in fact it would be the "blue sky of death". If you fall flat on your back that, is, and not forward onto something like asphalt.
As for the not using a steadycam thing, I think they are riffing off of Firefly
I thought Law and Order was the first show to really use that kind of filming. Firefly would probably be the first science fiction series, but I can recall seeing something about how it had something to do with the success of Law and Order, not just because it added a particular aesthetic style, but also because it really cut costs on filming.
... to negotiate the most co-operative relationship between the computer industry and the music industry to use computer technology for music. The record industry fought against the first commercial MP3 player, the Diamond Rio, and the first popular music download company, Napster, without seeing the potential. The fact that he actually got them to go along with the iPod and iTMS was pretty good considering how they still keep trying to f*ck with using computers for music.
I use my "anonymized" account to shop there, then buy direct.
How do you shop anonymously there? What do you mean by "buy direct"- send a MO or do you just buy from another site, like that of a manufacturer if it is hardware? I wasn't aware they had "unilaterally changed" (permanently violated) their privacy policy to share personal data "with anyone we damn well please" and this disturbs me.
And how is BarnesandNoble.com in comparison? Search engines and portals have changed throughout the years, and maybe this just might be the crux that brings in a replacement for Amazon.com.

I'd appreciate any tips anyone can give.
Next thing you know, they'll be charging fines for old news and dupes
I'd think that the lack of air in space was the greatest threat

though I don't know whether Safari has the equivalent of FlashBlock that firefox does
Apparently there's PithHelmet for Safari, but I haven't tried it out yet. Going to now.
The link in this post just gave me a popunder in Safari with pop-up window blocking on.
Hey... how come I'm not getting laid?
Perhaps a study should be done on the relationship between reading Slashdot and not getting laid. Is it a correlation or a causality?

Well, I can levitate by sitting on a chair and lifting it.

Does this count for websites as well? There goes Slashdot.
he's smart enough...

It's in French.
Does it run Linux?
The condom.
I never heard of that story before. Got a link?
You know those cool X10 video cameras?
Actually, from what I've read, they screw up wireless networks. They operate at the same 2.4 GHz frequency and jam WiFi. Not cool.
None of these companies or organisations are going to dictate what the used standard will be. As usual, it will be the porn industry :P
All that'll happen is that Microsoft and Google will enter some kind of cross-licensing agreement
MSN Search licensing Google search technology? Tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, anyone?
Is it just me or has 2005 had a serious lack of SCO stories? I know there was one recently, but they used to practically be daily.
