than Kucinich ever could. Many historians consider Bush to be one of the worst presidents in US history. And the funny thing is that Bush still believes that history will prove him RIGHT.....
Plus, the Democrats are looking to rout the Republicans in November at least in the Senate and House(President is still a bit up in the air), doing something showboating like this can only benefit the Republicans.
How much fossil fuels do bike rider use? How many people are killed per year by cyclists(excluding themselves)? None of those are 0, but they are a HELL of a lot less than SUV drivers. Stop warming my planet, stop killing my people just because you have a microscopic penis.
I am an avid cyclist and in my experience the ONLY times I have been close to an accident have been with SUV drivers, not sports cars, not sedans, not even minivans. SUV drivers. Mostly because they are just blissfully unaware of the fact that they have significantly reduced visibility, esp. in the back and sides. However, since the SUV owners are confident that they won't get hurt in an accident they dont give a flying fuck about anyone else on the road. Fuck SUV drivers, SUVs are WMDs, plain and simple. If you have one, I think you deserve the death penalty. Get modded troll for that, but its the truth, you simply don't deserve to live.
Read up on the subject, Apple insisted that they do the port for OS X because they wanted the GUIs to look as native as possible, which is fine as long as you put at least some sort of effort into keeping it current, but recently this doesn't seem to be a concern of Apples. In the 10.2/10.3 days, Apple went crazy creating all sorts of bindings, such as Cocoa and Quicktime. Then they abruptly deprecated the former and haven't come close to keeping the latter up to date, but refuse to deprecate it or give us a replacement(other than going all Cocoa....)
I certainly hope not. I for one do NOT like being charged for stuff that should have been there from the start. Come on, Apple(i hope) isn't Microsoft, they shouldn't be pulling this bullshit unless they want their base to turn on them. I feel like I'm using a Microsoft product when I use Leopard, I don't do anything special with my SR macbook, but have had plenty of kernel panics and odd crashes, esp. of iTunes. Really does make me feel like I'm using a Microsoft product. I don't even want to see what their server version is like. I was forced into using a Tiger Open Directory server at work, and its a buggy pile, I shudder to think what Leopard must be like.
Apple support doesn't help any either. At one point they actually told me that a problem I was experiencing was a bug and that I should have to come up with a workaround, and still charged us an incident for such a lovely revelation. I am having issues getting our new Leopard workstations to connect to the Tiger open directory(another Apple product!) and the support guy hasn't done anything in the past 3 weeks to really help, despite the massive amount of money we are paying Apple.
Leopard wouldn't bother me so much if we weren't FORCED to use it if we want new hardware. We are starting to replace our aging powermac G5s(which still work for the most part, but as the hardware ages we are running out of spares) and settled on the shiniest Mac Pros that came out in January. However, as part of the deal we were forced to use Leopard, you cannot install Tiger on these machines. So instead of focusing on what our customer needs, we have to deal with an endless Apple bug parade or just stick to aging hardware. There is no middle ground. Apple makes fun of Vista customers going back to XP, but at least they have the option! If I could run Tiger on my macbook or the new mac pros at work, I would in a second but Apple is so arrogant that they refuse to let me do so and instead have to put up with their bullshit.
Furthermore, Apple seems to not realize that the rest of the world doesn't always work like they do. For example, look at Java. Apple was over a year late on getting Java 6 on the mac, and now it only exists for Leopard 64-bit intel users. WTF? It can run on Windows 2k for crying out loud! There are many more examples of Apple's hubris, but that is one of the best imo. It prevents us from going to Java 6 because we haven't replaced everything here with 64 bit intel Leopard machines....
The situation with Apple of late kind of reminds me of the ending of Animal Farm, when the rest of the animals couldn't tell the difference between pigs and humans. I am starting to not see the difference between Apple and Microsoft....
They are worried about releasing a new OS when their current one is a piece of garbage? Um, brilliant? I guess I would have liked some affirmation from Steve that Apple is hard at work trying to make Leopard the most stable OS they have released, but instead I guess I will have to shell out more money for that. I'm seriously tempted to go to Linux at this point. Apple is getting to be WORSE than Microsoft.
and almost NOTHING about the mac....despite WWDC being billed as something for both Mac AND iPhone devs....who cares about mobile me? I guess it shows where Apple's priorities are, since given all the shit that has been wrong with Leopard, they certainly aren't on the Mac.
I'm going to Rock Im Park tomorrow and the thing that pisses me off more than anything is that some of my money is going to Metallica. Most overrated band in history.
The blogger is passing around FUD, without supporting those statements with any information from Gartner.
And this is different from stuff actually by Gartner how? This is Gartner we are talking about, so if they did publish such a study, a more accurate title might be, "Top 10 technologies we have a vested financial interest in promoting"
not commenting on the hack, but the fact that a human being actually set up a tricorder in his(or his parents) bathroom to take a picture of himself using a bong, and then posted it on myspace.....
Warning: servers may not be stacked diagonally on top of eachother, rather rammed into your rack repetetively by an angry monkey (which we've nicknamed "Bob the technician"). Aforementioned technician may or may not leave presents in your servers. Do not feed Bob during the installation process, nor introduce Bob to small children and pets.
I thought the purpose of web 2.0 is so we would have FEWER managers.

They should at least rename it to try to distance the software as much as possible from its creator....

And its even more sad when a person commenting on something being sad doesn't know the difference between "tripod" and "tricorder"
