You also should consider spam. Links get sent all the time in spam, and unless they are phishing attacks, they rarely ever try to hide what they are advertising, but they conceivably could hide illegal material in seemingly "innocent" links. An "I was duped into clicking the link" defence might be interesting....
The latest revision of powerbooks have a scrolling function built into the touch pad as well(and you can go left and right), you just use 2 fingers instead of one when you want to scroll. I use it and it's quite useful IMO.
IIRC, in 2004 Steve Jobs considered OS X a success because 50% of the install base uses OS X. Even now something like 13% of people are still using OS X 10.0-10.1...
Which is why they should just release their roms(yeah I know, it will only be first party games but still) in an online store for a few bucks a pop. I would gladly pay for ROMs, but there isn't any way that I can. Come on Nintendo, this is a simple opportunity to make some money off of IP that you won't really use anymore anyway...
Um, Linux is completely open source. Hacking software you have complete access to to run on hardware whose internals you do not is a lot different from hacking software to run on hardware that you do know the internals.
To go with your x-box analogy, a similiar feat would be to get the custom windows on the x-box to run on a PC. Not impossible, but difficult.
Depends on what you want to do. Programming/CS is one of the easiest science things to do on your own because all you need is a computer and a compiler, and you can get a computer for less than $500.
But what if you want to do chemistry, or are interested in chip fabrication? Real chem labs and chip fabs aren't cheap, and school is really the only pratical way for most people to get access to the equipment that is needed to really understand the materials. I don't care how many books you read on DNA structures or semiconductor physics, unless you have done real experiments, you can only replicate what others have done. There are also lessons one learns best by practice.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's very difficult to break through in those fields without going to college.
I think the most important part of Steve's speech though was talking about calligraphy class and such. I think so many students get caught up in technical and business classes they neglect a lot of what college really has to offer. After having gone through the recent grad hiring process, I got quite a few offers, and my GPA wasn't even all that great, and I accepted an awesome offer in Germanyhere is my advice, once again, YMMV:
1. Study abroad(even better if you speak another language), globalization is here to stay, and living in another culture for a long period of time is something all businesses can find usefufl.
2. Ger a minor/2nd major in something non-tech that interests you. Programming is getting easier and easier to do(yes, that includes the wicked VB that/.rs tend to loathe), by concentrating in more than one field you show businesses that you are in fact interested in a wide variety of fields, you can handle workloads that are not tech related, and most importantly, you can borrow concepts from your other field in your tech work. It can lead to some novel solutions!
But there are plenty of CLIENT side programs that allow parents to blcok what their child accesses online. How is this law going to be any different than those other than it will force the onerus of filterting and enforcement onto the ISPs. If you don't want your kids looking at smut then a) Be a parent and know what they are doing online and b) look into some of these filtering technologies as a 2nd line of defence.
The filters are not perfect, but the ISP filters I would imagine are also far from perfect. Unless the state of Utah has access to some type of secret smut identification technology that the rest of us can only dream about.....
It all comes down to the free market. If an ISP wants to get the dollars of parents who want this filtering technology, then they can feel free to implement it, they won't get any complaints from me. It's their time, it's their systems etc. I just won't use it. On the other hand, if an ISP figures that it isn't worthwhile to filter the stuff, they don't have to go through the extra expense of implementing them but they may lose some customers who would like to see that type of filtering. This is just another example of the government sticking it's head where it doesn't belong.
Mayhaps because hosting isn't free, art supplies aren't free. Perhaps because some of these people want to devote themselves full-time to their craft. Just because you don't see a monetary value in something, doesn't mean the rest of the world agrees with you.
No, they have a selected(today it was about 4) number of articles everyday that you can access free of charge. This just happens to be one of them(I bet if you click the link tomorrow it won't work)
just like they abused their relationship with Pixar. IIRC, the announcement that they were closing their 2d animation studio came right before Pixar announced that after their current contract was up they would be bolting from Disney? Why? Because that asshat Eisner assumed that Disney was invincible and Pixar would come crawling to Disney no matter how much they were abused.
I still don't think Disney learned their lesson. Eisner didn't have one creative bone in his body, all he did was bleed dry whatever he could(and took a lions share of cash for himself) while Disney's main properties languished. I suspect the same will go for this relationship.
There is a difference between dying to "natural" hair colors(blonde, human red, black, etc) and "non-natural" colors(green, purple etc). I had a part time job with the police. If anyone has to look professional, it's them, and they didn't care if you changed your hair color to a "natural" color, but you were not allowed to change it to an "un-natural" color.
Heh, you are thinking of the iPod mini, which is hd based, so it's not a fair comparison. People who really exercise hard probably don't want hd based players, but flash works out well since it has no moving parts. However a lot of runners use the iPod mini and it seems toa be able to stand up better than the bigger iPod to being flung around a lot.
Another beneift to iCal(though one that many may not need) is that iCal can automatically sync with your iPod every time you plug the iPod in. Useful if you use your iPod as a bare bones PDA. The one nice thing missing is an alarm function, but maybe a firmware upgrade could take care of that.
Is that China uses 11.5x the energy of Japan for the same industrial output. (I'm assuming that means equal in $). Are factories in China that much less efficient than their Japanese counterparts? Or is it the type of manufacturing currently done in China is in general more energy hungry than the manufacturing done in Japan?
According to TFA they aren't even going to be switching the higher end machines over till 2007, they will start with the mac mini and go up. Maybe target the laptops first. Intel's laptop offerings are probably the most intereting thing they have out right now.
Though to be fair, the developer probably isn't seeing that extra $10, it's the license fee for the console. You don't have to pay those fees if you develop for the pc.
Well then go volunteer at your local library and implement it. And take over all the extra work it will require. It's easy to think of these "brilliant" plans, but not so easy to implement them yourself. Of course it's even easier to give someone you don't know(who may very well be a volunteer) a lot more work.
Also, libraries do not like to be treated as book stores. A lot of them have problems with people checking out books and then deciding that they like them and keeping them and deciding to pay the library for the book. A lot of libraries have been charging processing fees to replace missing books in order to deter this practice.
Remember, a majority of the people who work there are volunteers, they don't need to constantly be worrying about how to re-stock a book someone borrow-purchased. THe scheme in TFA would make a perfect book rental store(with a few dollar rental fee) but it sounds like the scheme somebody who is only thinking of themselves and not hte library.

considering this has NOTHING to do with the G5 or Apple hardware in general really.....
Yeah, but you would have to make the whole journey in a brown box with a smile on it.

It's not "World Robot Expo", it's just the "World Expo", they are showing off plenty of things besides robots.

They need good well-paid students and good quality schoolbooks...
well, paying the students WOULD be a great motivation to come to class everyday, but try getting that one through the schoolboard...
I'm 24 and I cannot drive, but I need to learn to drive in order to start my new job overseas. What ever shall I do?
