That is one of the most motivational comments ever - for a struggling freshmen at a rather unknown Ivy. (I can't believe my ego let me type 'struggling'). Thank you. Thank you very much. Maybe one day I'll see you on the conference circuit too.
I'd go out every now and then, hike, swim, whatever. I personally try to go outside and rock climb as often as I can. It really gets the stress levels down, probably helps delay the carpal tunnel too. But again, I'm a college student, what do I know.
But the climbing sure is great and a great way to relax.
The single biggest complaint of Aperture right now is that it has crappy RAW conversion quality. It's got great organizational ideas (Stacks, Versions, etc), but since it doesn't have a solid RAW converter (like Camera Raw), it can't really be used to its full potential.
Adobe has an immense lead on Apple here; they have a very mature RAW converter, backed by loads and loads of research. Features like Stacks and Versions can be copied easily by Adobe, but Apple will have a hard time with their own RAW converter's quality.
This means, Adobe screwing up aside, Lightroom will eventually, a few versions down the line, be much widely used than Aperture.
And of course, Lightroom is supposed to be eventually available for Windows...
Dialup comes free with the US$9 per month telephone service.
3M/0.5M broadband comes at around US$15.
6M/1M comes at around US$25.
Its much, much cheaper in Hong Kong.
And everyone uses broadband. Like.. everyone. I don't have any numbers, but consider this:
I live in a flat, in a building with 25 floors, 8 flats per floor. I get 20 b and 3 g wireless networks covering my bedroom at any time.
Helps when wireless routers cost US$50...
Just look at 2001: A Space Odyssey; if you hibernate to a distant place with a super AI computer watching over your critical life support functions and the spaceship, you'll die a nasty, red-LED blinking death.
Just don't codename the computer HAL 9000...
This is on cnet.. has a bit of info about availability, etc.

How the HELL does someone do that?!
(Hopefully this will incite meaningful discussion.)

Yes, you can run it in Mac OS X Intel, but only kind of.
You can run it through Rosetta.
Rosetta realtime translates PowerPC instructions to x86.
However, Aperture requires a G4 or a G5 processor on PowerPC, so it has AltiVec instructions (G4+ only).
The 10.4.3 8f1099 build's Rosetta only have emulation for up to G3s. So Aperture would just crash.
However, the newly pirated 10.4.3 8f1111 build *might* be able to, as 8f1111's Rosetta has support for AltiVec instructions. Let's see...
It's a screenshot of a login box. Exciting stuff.

so.. we start global warming on Mars.. next thing we know, the Martians attack!
I bet yeh they haven't thought about that yet..
The Chinese government runs their own distribution of Linux called "Red Flag Linux"...

That would be direct competition to Samurize...

Maybe because you don't need to reinstall to upgrade to this patch? Just update.
