May I make a suggestion / observation ? When you buy a product, don't assume you are joining a club. Buy it because you like it. Otherwise, you are inviting people to judge you by your economic choices, and that is pretty pathetic.
Thank you ! I was going to say the exact same thing. I know that "GOTO considered harmful" is one of the seminal papers in CompSci, but enough is enough.
I think "Considered Harmful" has jumped the shark;-)
You can actually clean the sensor yourself. There are one-time use cleaning pads called Pec Pads, or reusable cloths. You do have to gentle and careful, but it is possible.
My objection isn't over whether gift is a verb or a noun. It's over the clunky clumsiness of 'gifts X with Y' Why not just say 'Apple gives MacBooks to developers' ? I think that is much clearer and simpler.
We may be speaking about diffeent things, but all of the lenses I use with my Rebel XT have manual focus rings. That includes the included kit lens. It also is ready to shoot within.2 or.02 seconds (I honestly forget, it's so fast). The shot-to-shot lag is virtually non-existent as well. That is one of the reasons I upgraded from an Olympus C5050 - I was losing shots at the Zoo.
True, but couldn't some of the things we've learned from building houses have been applied to writing software ?
I sometimes think the free-form nature of software leads to a lot of these problems. If you don't build a wall properly, it will fall down. It's constrained by reality, as I like to say. The computer and software create their own reality and only have to compile and not crash to 'work'
I remember that ! You could enter a public IP address as your WINS server and see other people out on the Internet. It was pretty slow even on cable but pretty cool. I used it to send a friend some files once or twice. More of a curiousity than something useful.
I was with you until your third paragraph. That's where you veered into fiction. I have a device similar to this, but it does not need to be connected to a PC to work. You do have to take the memory card out of the camera (or whatever kind of device) to copy the data onto the hard-drive.
The new thing with this (I can't actually RTFA) is that you can directly connect to another device via USB and copy data. That is done by 'emulating' a host PC, giving you capabilities almost like Firewire's peer-to-peer system.
I was with you until you said Microsoft keeps it's development in the U.S. Why do you think Windows 2000 was codenamed Cairo ? Part of the development was done overseas, somewhere in the Middle East.
None of the above. I think the word in quetion is 'recoup' - no 'erate'. It's an interesting mistake though, since recuperate means to regain health...
Do you understand hyperbole and sarcasm that badly? The phrase compares one statement with another, obviously false statement. Thus, the first statement looks false. It's called an analogy...
Dude, read more carefully. He's not saying that he ran a 2.4 kernel in 1997. He's saying that he ran a 2.4 kernel on machine that, otherwise, hadn't changed much since 1997. The author could have made that more clear, but it's there. If you consider the grand-parent post as context, it makes sense.

That is your 'Selective Service' card, not a draft card. The difference may seem piddling, but it's there. The military in the USA is all volunteer. The Selective Service registration hasn't served any purpose for a long time...

That's a bit of a stretch. The ADM 3A has the keyboard built-in, which lends a very different aspect to it.

Maybe he means it would only take up 50 MB out of a BluRay disc. The summary did mention shovelware ...
The person selling this is peddling something; if you got on it, you would be pedaling it. Geez ...
Actually, the Mac Pro uses Xeon processors.

I assume you mean Lightroom ... People seem to have a really hard time with this name. I've seen it called Lightbox, lighttable, etc.

Thanks - It took me a second to catch that, but now it's bugging me. Can someone fix it to say 'precede' ?
Nope ! That was how I read it as well.
That was probably conditioned by the fact that Skiing is a word. But skilling ? Ick !

My Mini came with iLife '05 pre-installed, whereas the earlier ones were as your describe. I got mine in late February.
What the frack is a MiniMac ? This reminds of people who say "American Online" instead of America Online ...
NLD is descended from SuSE, which is up to version 9

What don't you like about it ? I use it everyday at work and like the integration of the Address Book, Calendar, Reminder Notes, etc.
Have you used a recent version ?

It appears this Slashdotter was a tad hasty in switching allegiances... or something of the sort, to continue the Simpson's reference.
