My one major problem is thus -- currently, I'm a heavy Outlook user on my two Windows boxes. I use Outlook to manage my email, my contacts, my tasks, my calendar, etc.
You are right. That is one MAJOR PROBLEM. You better fix that right away.
Many still don't work right, including cmd+arrow keys to open and close arrows in Finder windows (half works: cmd+opt+arrow should open or close all hierarchical folders)
cmd+arrows DOES open/close folder 'arrows'. cmd+right arrow opens and cmd+left arrow closes them.
The file dialogs, stuck in a column view, are, in my opinion, a glaring design flaw.
Huh? This part I don't get. I'm sure I'm just missing something. wtf do you mean by 'stuck in column view'.
In many places in the OS, you can't merely hit "return" in an active dialog to select the default button (if there is a default button at all), or "escape" to cancel
I've yet to encounter that.
In the book, after they cross the river in the ferry, they stop at Frodo's new house in Crickhollow, where he was to wait for Gandalf. This is where Sam reveals that there was a conspiracy, and that Merry and Pippin will be coming with them. Because the black riders are after them, they decide to leave that night, going through a hedge into a forest, where the next day (i think) they decide to follow a river, and find an old willow tree (Old Man Willow.) What they don't know, is that the tree is not an ordinary tree, but rather is somewhat "awake." The tree swollows some members of the party (I do not remember who) in cracks when they lean against it to rest. Just then, an old man comes along, named Tom Bombadil, who is the master of the forest, and orders Old Man Willow to let them go. He is not really a man, but a supernatural being of some kind, maybe a Maia (the Balrog was a Maia before becoming evil, as was Sauron IIRC from reading the Silmarilion.) Anyway, they stay with Tom Bombadil for a while at his house, with his wife Goldberry, then set out across the barrow-mounds to Bree. In the barrow-mounds, they get separated, and trapped by a wight, and Tom Bombadil saves them. He then escorts them to as close to Bree as he can get w/o leaving his domain. They meet "Strider" (aka Aragorn, The Dunadain, Elessar, etc) in Bree.
Good point, I guess we are more in a situation where we are not sure if we have one sample or two or three.
The "rare earth" people that Drake is debating actually assume that such bacterial life is very common, but that multicellular life is very rare, so it's presense on primordial earth prior to mass extinction events does nothing to dispute their claims. (indeed, it is one of their explicitly stated expectations)
It should be pointed out though that if we are talking about complex life we DO have a larger sample than 1 right now. Both Venus and Mars are "earth-like" in astronomical terms. They are about the right size and about the right distance from the sun. But they are not *quite* right. Mars has frozen and Venus is gripped with runaway greenhouse gases, they are each a "little too close" and "a little too far". Though if they had gotten the atmospheric chemistry right I think their distance from the sun could have been compensated for - imagine if their positions were reversed, if Mars had the thick atmosphere with a lot of greenhouse activity and Venus had the thin atmosphere - who knows? As it is they are fairly good examples of what happens if just a few variables on your "earth-like" planet are wrong by just a little (in astronomical terms). Even Mercury with no atmosphere is an example of not only being too close to the sun (and thus too hot) but of being caught in tidal lock (so despite the intense heat on one side the atmoshpere freezes out on the other) This would presumably happen to any planet so close in, even if the star were smaller and a mercury type planet was only getting as much solar energy as earth is getting further away from a larger star.
It is not unlikely that if we could start visiting other systems we would find a *lot* of planets that were candidates to become truly earth-like but failed because they got just a few variables wrong by just a little bit. Even a nearly identical planet to Earth - exactly the same size, exactly the same distance from exactly the same sized star, with exactly the same chemical composition would have a high probablity of succumbing to either runaway greenhouse gases or having it's atmosphere freeze out if it's atmospheric composition was not regulated by the action of plate tektonics & continental weathering or if it's tilt was not regulated by an oversized moon or if it just had the bad luck of being hit with a really big comet (a very likely occurance without a "jupiter" nearby sucking up or pushing out all the debris).
Apple showed some new ads in the "Switch" campaign, including... a comedian who ended his commercial with, "My name is Will Ferrell... and I'm a porn actor."
I wish to see this. I guess I just get the regular switch ads untill i pay $99 for the service
btw, they are total bungs for the bait and switch email service.
There is a site I sometimes visit called "slashdot". It is a "daily".
On the right, there are links to "older stuff".
There is a day "e.g. today it sez 'Tuesday' and there is a list of stories that are supposed to appear if you click on the day above the list.
The stories you get may or may not correspond to the list of stories that should appear. If you are doing this early in the day, there is often a story that is supposed to show up according to the list but it does not. Also the story will be gone from the internet web sites "internet home web e-page" so you will not be able to view the story at all.
One keeps wondering why they sell these PCs without Windows, if they are not able to test their hardware with other OSes before sending them to Wal-Mart for sale.
Ummm. so the average buyer need not purchase an OS they already pirated^H^H^H^H^H^H^H bought.

Yeah, the popular author has gone the way of the dodo. Now we have small time book authors like Grisham and King and Rowling and Hubbard and Clancy and Clancy and... Hmmm WAY GREATER number of super authors exsist now than in the time of the three mentioned from the past. Oh well...
The only difference I can see here is that some preferred contractor gets a cushy pork-barrel project.
mmmm pork-barrel! You are correct sir. It sez Most likely, the recycling would be handled by private rather than government organizations.
It gets worse.
The collected money would finance a recycling program for computers and television sets.. wtf? TVs?

I don't know what a PLC is and the site is not up. I bet I'm not the only one too.
You are right. That is one MAJOR PROBLEM. You better fix that right away.
You mean low cost like 75 cents?
Costs more than 75 cents for me to mail them a letter complaining about 75 cents
whole lotta knee jerk reactions here. That being said, those bozos DO piss me off too.

Interestingly, the compatibility page lists exactly zero scsi drives. Why do they wish to be like that. Im guessing they are being lay to the z here.
