    Microsoft's part ownership of Apple isn't even large enough to put anyone on the Board of Directors.

  8. Re:This Is Great! on Pilot Synthesis · · Score: 1

    I think you are confusing what MIDI can do with a general MIDI synth. Almost every set of plain vanilla general MIDI patches I've ever heard sounds awful. Now if it had an XG or GS sample set, I'd be impressed.

    Judges make laws that are completely stoooooopid because they think the laws of the real world still hold relevance on the internet.

    Judges don't make laws. They uphold them. Better yell at Congress.

  11. Re:IRQ Conflicts? on MacOS In A World w/ 2 Microsofts · · Score: 3

    There are some problems with wresting control away form the Mac ROM. So far, two solutions have been used.

    1.) Change your Open Firmware variables to boot from somehting other than the Mac ROM. (Open Firmware is like a BIOS on speed)

    2.) A bootstrapper that is launched either while MacOS is booting or while it's running that will warm boot the machine into LinuxPPC, NetBSD, BeOS, or whatever.

  16. Schoolchildren on ISPs Victimizing DoS Victims? · · Score: 1

    This sounds a lot like the story of a kid whom some of my friends in high school knew. He had an anti-Nazi patch on his backpack. He was harassed by people for having such a patch, but HE was the one suspended for their behavior. The local papers got ahold of this story, and I think most of the damage was undone.

    That's akin to the BSA assuming that every piece of software that gets pirated would have been bought if it wasn't pirated.

    The BSA? I didn't think the Boy Scouts really cared about software piracy.

    There are/were several shareware type thingies for MacOS that allowed this back in around 1995! I forget their names, though :|

    BeOS hasn't been around for anywhere close to ten years. More like 5. And Mac OS has the additional benefit of actual useful software.

    It's probably too late for people to read this, but from now on, I have started signing ALL emails with attachments, so people know I'm not sending a virus. Hopefully more people will do the same, since VBScripts can't read your mind and figure out your passphrase.
