Why not? I don't get it. They're supposed to be a software company that writes software for micro computers. Clearly Mac and Linux are platforms that constitute that. I would want my company to diversify and nost just in other areas. If a microwave oven can run on my software, damn it, i'm gonna get someone to write software for it.
Why did they stop supporting their media player for Mac? Why did they stop at Media Player 6.4 for Linux? I seriously think that Microsoft coders can't code at all. Whatever politics are behind them from not fulfilling their career goals need to go by the wayside because it's crippling effects are felt everywhere.
My point is that people equate digital=HiDef which isn't necessarily true. HiDef=digital but not the other way around.
Yes, DirecTV is super IMO and the 5.1 is good in the standard digital broadcast but your average consumer thinks that a flat screen plasma they they dropped 3 grand on is all then need when they have Cox digital or direcTV which is already digital.
Have a neighbor that bought the plasma and upgraded to Cox digital, not Cox HiDef, Cox digital. He's spent and doesn't want to go through with any hassle anymore so he's content with the coolness factor of a flat screen hanging on his wall and couln't care less about the quality of the display.
It would be nice to see Microsoft come up with something but I've become so disenfranchised from them that I really don't care anymore about them. If they were to relase some software for Linux or even Mac that is cool, I might start to pay attention again but this Vista lockin crap has me alienated from them. They just don't produce good products and definitely a brand I don't trust anymore.
Anything from them is simply similar to the PlayStation market. I'm not a PS player and any addon for that platform just isn't exciting to me. If I were an XBOX or Nintendo player and they(Sony) developed an ultra cool device for all game platforms then cool.
Digital cable for one by Cox, ditigal signal from DirecTV are hardly Hi Def but is marketed in an ambiguous way that confuses the average consumer. Every person I know that has bought a Hi Def plasma display 100% believes that their digital cable from COX is Hi Def when in fact it is still an analog signal on the output. They're not buying the COX hi def service and they're not buying the Cox hi def tuner to get the digital signal on the output.
This is another 'blame the tool, not the user' type of mentality.
Guns are evil, drugs are bad, rootkits are bad, P2P is evil, etc... We've heard this all before.
Concrete is bad because it could be used to make a shoe and keep a victim from struggling whilst they are dropped at the bottom of a lake. Knives are bad because they may be used to kill someone. 2x4 pieces of lumber are bad because you could use it to knock someone off a motorcycle. Baseball bats are really evil becuase gangs can use them for intimidation. Crowbars, they should be illegal anyway, who uses them? We need to have nails that dissolve with water instead of trying to pry them up with this lethal weapon.
I know some artists that haul some pretty big pieces that won't fit in a station wagon. They could have used a van but there was something about the seating. I don't remember the conversation. Agree on the station wagon as they were chic with wood paneling when I was a kid.
I understand the feel-good SUV haters point but in reality, those SUV haters don't have kids and I mean kid(s), plural. SUV's are extremely practical for those with 2 or more kids especialy if activities are involved and/or people who haul stuff that needs to stay out of the weather.
If they want to hate a gas guzzler, hate airplanes, jet ones. Just hate people who use airplanes as a form of transportation. While they are hating them, they can hate interstate truckers too. And if you want to continue to hate any mechanical form of locomotion, hate oceaninc barges that leak fuel in the ocean. In the mean time, we should just grow our own food. SUV haters are so full of hate, I hate them.
disclaimer: I am a pilot, I love airplanes, and jets are cool. I don't drive an SUV but I'm all for SUV drivers uniting against hippies.
There, I've said it, I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
This type of loudmouth, foul based tripe has caused us 30 years of progression as far as our energy. What if by today we all could have small nuclear batteries to give us heat in our homes and runing our transportation?
The oil companies would have/are going to spread as much FUD about it as possible unless it's their energy but we could've had this all along if it weren't for the hippies actually helping the oil companies keep feeding us their product.
I built a music synthesizer using off the shelf component parts for my VCO's and power not using a kit but by using what I knew eletronically about music and eletronics. Bob Moog and Wendy Carlos were my inspiration. I also know how to play the piano (piano, not keyboard; big difference).
You don't start with 3-400K. You start (at least in my case, $0). I used to have to sneak around in office complexes to sleep and clean up in the bathrooms, hiding from security guards, etc... in my adulthood beginnings.
I'm not against social services to a point. At the cost of inflating government, I'm against it. You just can't give out handouts because people will expect them and rely on them. People have to - absolutely have to - learn how to fish on their own. I want better things in life and I am willing to do what it takes to get there. Plenty of people (a relative I have) have a sense of entitlement, spend their money on negative assets then complain how expensive everything is, and continue to not have anything.
You have to start some somewhere. Saving for your first $300K starts with your first quarter that you don't put in the candy machine/video game.
And poor people are still buying lottery tickets, buying booze, being irresponsible with their own money so that they don't accumulate wealth and somehow it's my fault; and becuae of that, the democrats want to take my money to give to them so they can have healthcare so their unwed, single, teen mother that is an illegal alien (not undocumented immigrant) can have a cell phone and a plamsa television using WIC vouchers.
You'll get an answer like "We try to offer a feature rich application base that our customers want with innovative design and function. We are the leader in this area and have been the leader for quite some time. We have different products to match your lifestyle and technical ablility. It is our goal to make licensing of our flagship OS the easiest possible purchase you can make."
Is it just me or has the topic of Global Warming (which can't be proven) become another taboo like politics, religion, and abortion?
You're not going to convince a pro-GlobalWarming person that this could be just be a natural cycle anymore than you're going to convince a non-Christian fundamentalist that Jesus is the son of God. You're not going to convince an anti-GlobalWarming persion that SUV's are the cause of violent hurricanes any more than you're going to convince a devout Muslim that when he dies, he gets to be with 72 white grapes (virgins in the vernacular).
We need more data, -- from the past, way past, to make a qualified judgement; not paid for conjecture.
Maybe the inhabitants of Venus are being used as batteries for the computers that run the place. Before that, they darkened the skies with CO2 in an attempt to destroy the computers.
Regarding the Zeppelins, maybe the Venutians are highly advanced (or the AI is) and if we were to go to war with Venus, we'd lose and be turned into batteries in an instant. NASA knows this and tell us that there is no life on Venus because we can't risk being turned into batteries. This is also why stories of Martians or far more prevalent than stories of Venutians kicking Terrans(or Earthlings) ass; to take away the focus.
Sony isn't just Playstation. It's content as well.
They would own Sony Pictures, Sony Music, BD-DVD, home entertainment appliances.
That would put MS exactly where they want to be. In the living room and own content. There are no MS Televisions, Web-tv (oops, MSN-TV) and Media Center are niche markets, and nobody understands or cares about "Plays for sure". With a brand name that takes care of all of that already entrenched, that positions them right where they want to be.
Methane in the atmosphere is more dangerous than CO2. Sources for Methane are cows, ocean flatulence, and landfills. Landfills that capture Methane are required to sell it to a power company or burn it. Methane burns clean which makes landfills attractive sources of methane for power companies.

Correct sir.
Visio was Visio in 2000. In 2001 MS bought it and changed the menu fonts then in 2002, MS F*cked it up.
You must be talking about the ribbon.
Still can't open open document formats.
Cancelled my subscription last year because of it.
Last good piece of software was MapPoint2004. Now Google Earth does what I need from it.
Total raping of customers is what they're doing with this crappy Software Assurance.

I would say that #1 is the same as people who want to run Linux on their Sony Playstation.
You haven't? Everyone who uses Microsoft's Windows is getting screwed.

If the images are 4x6 or smaller, you could scan them at least 3 or more at a time.
Just scan them into one large TIFF and do cleanup later.
That way you scan a pile or box at a time.
Cleanup is a bitch but worth it.
Just crop the images out of the TIFF, color correct and remove dust.
I think a scenario could be for access through a client.
