Some weird things that I've heard of: Unable to boot and being dropped to safe mode, Having to reset QT by changing the international sys prefs, Using update and still losing ll your settings etc. Sidenote: FCP5 should be here too now and working properly if this is out.
Not really, but just the general attitude of RMS (root mean square;))
I mean can't we have the "freedom" of choosing which software to use?
Or, does everything have to adhere to this "free" way of thinking, which is definitely not free as choices have been laid upon you
To relate this I have tried blender3D and its interface just does not adhere to standard 3D packages and will not get pro 3d artists to use it because of this limitation, gimp does have a 2D imaging interface but PS is cheap in it's suite after all and for design professionals you'll have to use it. (if you're a programmer it is not worth it, use gimp), what I mean: choose the best tools for the job.
On the same wings3D is less featured than blender but has interface compatibility and I do use this since i only need a modeller.
This is like vi vs emacs vs imadeabettereditor etc.
Choose the right tool or be a one
I like opensource but feel that you must be able to have choice and "freedom".
Any orginisation will detoriate to it's lowest common denominator.
This proves conclusively that windows XP users are monkeys.
I mean this is some serious scientific data, it shows that if you've less IQ and are a monkey you prefer XP.
When are they trying it with fish.
I see it now: fish prefer OpenBSD
Same as a lot of people we had a C64 in our house to teach me the new ways of computers and actually be able to do something with and not remember what I learned in school what the words ROM, RAM and VDU meant.
But what actually happened was I bought a lot of those gaming mags which had program listings which you had to type yourself to get a program happening and play the game.
Weeks and weeks of typing.
Then,
RUN ...
SYNTAX ERROR
A few weeks later you'd be damned happy that you had a working game.
Doing all this made me finally try that music synth program which was mentioned in the manual and got me interested in MIDI and computer music.
So what next ensoniq samplers.
Something called the toaster and the PAR on the Amiga
Cubase on the Atari ST
And now Logic, FCP, AE etc on a MAC
Computers made me more creative and opened up a whole new wave of opportunity.
And there is a synth based on the C64 sound chip the Sidstation
, it all is just too good. Circle complete.:)
With the social problems which are the main staple of daily life after the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh by a moslem fundamentalist things like these (MS licensing) will be overlooked as all eyes are just focused on the issue of safety and terrorism and the bumbling of ministers remkes and donner (justice and state).
From the NYtimes:
Dan Aykroyd once played a toy manufacturer on "Saturday Night Live" who sold children perilous products like bags of glass. If he branched into fast food, Mr. Aykroyd's character would probably have come up with Hardee's new Monster Thickburger, an artery-clogging mountain of Angus beef slabs, bacon, American cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame-seed bun. It weighs in at 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat - quite possibly one of the most lethal pieces of food out there.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest calls it "the height of corporate irresponsibility." Jay Leno joked that it was being served in little cardboard boxes shaped like coffins. But Hardee's is hardly alone. Burger King's Double Whopper with cheese has more than 1,000 calories and more than 65 grams of fat, and Wendy's Classic Triple with cheese has 940 calories, with 56 grams of fat.
If restaurants want to serve food like this, they should print the calories and fat content on the overhead menus. But consumers have to be responsible, too, and start making the mental connection between gargantuan fast-food burgers and fries and heart attacks and strokes.
What is driving Hardee's is a simple fast-food formula: poor nutrition sells. The company says its sales have been up steadily since it introduced its Thickburger line last year. In its rollout of the Monster Thickburger, Hardee's has gamely played up the new burger's sheer excess with the ad slogan, "Be afraid. Be very afraid." It is a setback for public health, but a triumph for truth in advertising.
It's a very good method against white collar fraud anyway. NO enron, NO worldcom.
True capitalism , you will get paid if you win
Losing will not be tolerated; this sounds like high school sports IMHO.
I absolutely hate dongles...
Lose it and it becomes a really tedious operation to get a dongle back from the manufacturer.
(YES sir we do believe who you are but we will need verification, please send your first born and a pint of your blood please)
Yep it does p*** me off with all the squatters around one typo and popup hell if you're on the wrong comp with wrong browser.
But even I've owned my share of unnecessary domain names just in case;) no real money made though (hundreds of euros not thousand anyways).
Hell the more domains the better even though it feels a bit like a redlight district sometimes stuck inside some techno IT ghetto
It's like sylvester and tweetie, roadrunner and wile.e etc...
Somewhere, someone is getting screwed.
Be it spammers or you.
Lycos probably scams your email address to send you some much coveted mail of interesting products.
Well I even mentioned in the header that it was offtopic...
Shows that most ppl are actually stupid by saying my message is off topic.;)
I could troll and mention the country.

stat jokes. Isn't it computer programmers use logic, physicists understand logic and statisticians cheat logic?
True HD is more as transmitted is already a compressed format like DVD
720p HDTV uncompressed:
8 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 110.48 MB per/sec, or 398 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 121.52 MB per/sec, or 438 GB per/hr.
1080i and 1080p HDTV uncompressed: 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 99.53 MB per/sec, or 358 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 109.43 MB per/sec, or 394 GB per/hr.

they have a wealth of information about money
O ;)
Lol
Must just be that "fools shop at thinkgeek" I'm a bit slow today
and when the action is finished thinkgeek will say: Thinkgeek halts spoof ;)
forgot. Penguins prefer Linux

Didn't fox argue that you do need to tell the truth in the news anymore. The original article and a site about it.
Now I don't need to format my external drives myself.

rest that mobile phones will replace consumer digital camera... This is a good article to see that they will go a different direction.
in the movies... Next thing you'll hear is that a software giant moves into TV.
