If you go to Kazaa right now, however, you'll note that they say that there's no spyware bundled with the software. Thanks, but no thanks...I'm sticking with bittorrent and Winmx.
Besides the crotch-punishing bicycle seat, you have to ride with your arms out beside you. Sure, that's great for exercise freaks, but what about us lazy folk? Segway?
Wouldn't it be nice to answer all spyware calls with "I'm sorry, but we don't support Internet Explorer. Have you tried the firefox software that was bundled with your dsl?"
So far they've been too adaptive for that. Until people embrace another OS in both the corporate environment and in the home, we're stuck with 'em.
Back to the topic at hand, if pc venders such as HP or Dell would bulk it with their OS, and hide the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop, numbers might increase.
I can see the average user wondering where the "internet" went, though...
...exactly how does MS plan to check piracy? What conditions are being checked? What files?
In other words, how do they know?
(mine's a corporate license that was given to me...hopefully it's not a hack, but who knows)
Now there was a good show. But the Andromeda chemistry just doesn't work in a Star Trek setting. I hated Voyager and DS9. Enterprise got boring after they cast just kept searching for the Xindi.
In theory, what you're saying sounds like the greatest thing for video editing since Final Cut Pro.
I wonder if anyone has the numbers on 2 similar techniques, using hardware rendering, then software. I would love to see comparisons when this technology fleshes out.
I guess I was expecting a little more for such high video card requirements. I just don't see the benefits of this as compared to other video editing software. Anyone care to enlighten me on what this can do that others cannot?
Obviously not all kids agree with you. I read far more than I EVER played video games when I was a kid, and the sales of Harry Potter tend to dissuade me from thinking that all children think reading is boring.
In other words, it depends on the material. Hand a kid a technical manual to a Sonicwall Router, and he's likely to frown. But hand him a copy of Chronicles of Narnia...
Video games do have a different way of making you think...your environment is interactive rather than passive. This goes back to the whole movies vs. video games debate...one is interactive entertainment, and one is passive.
But you can learn a lot more in reading a simple paragraph than you can from running around in the environment for a half hour.
Sadly, that's not always true. Many people used in the banks I've worked in. Even when they had Outlook, or could have downloaded Thunderbird, they chose Outlook Express. Why? Because they clicked the Check Mail button in IE.
As far as charging 60 bucks a year for Outlook, I simply don't see it.
Sorry, I should have taken longer with that question. My real question was this: "Will Tiger run WELL on the mini, given that the video memory is on board? And if so, what does this say for Longhorn's improved look requiring lots of video horsepower?"

Either way, installing Kazaa is akin to those AOL commercials with people begging for a virus. With Kazaa, you're begging for adware.

Good point. And on the coolness factor, I like the way OS X switches MUCH better than XP. Plus, it seems to be much faster.
Didn't IBM introduce this feature on their laptops a few months ago?
It's called a joke. And I'll ignore your inflamatory bigotry.

Well, I'll show them if they do! I'll move to Mozilla...
Oh, wait...

That's pretty much my copy. It required no activation. Didn't even ask.
I've been looking at the Mac anyway. Maybe I'll get a legitimate copy of Longhorn.

Especially since it's /. , not ./.
I'm sorry, old chap, but I had to. :)

Haven't you ever played Metal Gear Solid? Cheating is already here.
Point taken. :)

Unless you're talking about the latest adaptations (FFX was more like a movie than a novel). You want a novel? Try Xenogears.

No...this guy has lost 10 lbs. in 2 weeks...does he eat at all? Will he be alive to see the movie?
Ah. Thank you...I misunderstood. Never mind.
