its power and simplicity is only undermined by the near total lack of documentation.
....just like WebObjects.
Apple really doesn't know how to market and support developer tools. Often times the best way to learn about apple tools is to find the right non-apple listserv or message board.
if you go back in time a bit, there was Apple's OpenDoc. I've forgotten why it failed, but i think it had something to do with the fact that people want to buy apps, not app parts. Also, AppleScript has always been able to tie apps together, even back in the OS 8 days. (Which automated ad placement for many newspapers, drawing info from databases.)....but people rarely use them because they're lazy.
while jef raskin is known as a leader in human interface ideas, you have to look at what he's done to understand where his interests lie. he left the macintosh team before having a large impact - hell, he didn't like the mouse. his ideas are often interesting and thought provoking, but rarely practical and for better or worse, rarely ship.
the zooming flash demo is interesting - but why should i have my hands on the keyboard AND the mouse to navigate a document?
I find it fascinating that so many people think that its a coincedence that the abuse scandal happens at the same time the top leaders in our government are trying to redefine torture.
sure....and it was a coincedence that clinton got a bj from monica in the white house.
certainly not when we're trying to win the hearts and minds of the iraqi people.....and we shouldn't need to redefine torture to stay within those bounds.
true, the geneva convention affords many rights to enemy combatants that don't make much sense in the war on terror. instead, our president seems to think that these people have _no_rights_ and can be held indefinitely without charge. this goes against the basic tennants this country was founded on.
I find it interesting that SQLite is part of Tiger. I'm curious as to how useful it will be. I'm sure I'd want to keep OS info away from Dev info, but I'm curious as to whether it'll replace mySQL at all.
so you're saying that evolution accounts for the smaller changes but not the larger changes....even though the larger changes can happen on a larger time scale.
what is the competing theory? that god placed monkeys on earth and we evolved from them?
I have no idea what it must be like to lose a son that way....but what if this guy finds out that his son, the soldier, had an insatiable for gay porn?
There are things we don't want to know about people - its probably best not to go digging through their most personal stuff even after they've died.
It turns out that 48% of the populace are so pissed at who the toerh 52% voted for, that they're taking every trivial problem and blowing it up into legal catastrophes of the worst magnitude.
Damn! Thats a 10-point "Blame it on the liberals" score!
Jesus Christ, er holy linus...you say it as though slashdot didn't talk about these things before Bush. Yes, I do know that Clinton passed the DMCA, so the dems have no moral high ground on this.
Of course, Bush doesn't find his own pet "problems"...but i'll stop there because this thread isn't about tort "reform".
in this day and age where more freedom inherently leads to greater risk of harm
I don't understand why so many people think they live in that world. Its all because of the fear that has been passed down from our political leaders and we have in turn given them more power.
No, it is not a simple black and white issue. However, you should have to provide a reason for locking up secrets rather than simply saying "uhhh....terrorists?"
The thing that people often forget about RAID is that while it will keep the hardware alive, occasionally the data on the disks will become corrupt....then again, you could just go back to the DVDs.
I think that people who make this claim are a bit behind the times. Yes, it was true at first. Years ago. Nowadays, LCDs have much wider viewing angles and calibration tool that initially didn't exist.
I work in photography - we typically have high standards for color than people that work in film or video. When you make a photo, you've produced one object people will see. When you make a film, you don't control the projector or tvs people will see it on. (...and yes, bulbs change color over their lifespan.)
He was using a laser pointer THAT WAS MADE TO BE POINTED AT THE SKY! Surprise! There are planes in the sky!
The results of this action have been sensationalized as well. The pilots were temporarily blinded...gee...like that never happens driving your car on a sunny day.
I'm really curious as to how this action could be done in a destructive manner. You'd need a clear day, the right angle, and have a laser with a certain power and be within range. What does it take to align those variables?
While it might not have been the brightest thing to do, I'm not convinced that it is particularly dangerous either.
Stern: Yeah, and I want to say hi to the commissioner and a friend of mine told me the commissioner said he was going to be on the show....
The commissioner has fined me millions of dollars for things I have said and consistently avoids me and avoids me and I wonder how long he will stay on the phone with me.
Owens: Go ahead and ask your questions.
Stern: Hi, Michael, how are you?
Powell: Hi, Howard, how are you?
Stern: Does it make you nervous to talk to me?
Powell: It does not....
Stern: All right, so well, I've got about ten zillion questions for you because you honestly are an enigma to me.
The first question being: How did you get your job? It is apparent to most of us in broadcasting that your father got you your job. And you kind of sit there:
You're the judge, you're the arbiter, you're the one who tells us what we can and can't say on the air and yet I really don't think you're qualified to be the head of the commission. Do you deny that your father got you this job?
Powell: Well, I would deny it exceedingly. You can look at my resume if you want, Howard. I'm not ashamed of it and I think it justifies my existence. I was chief of staff of the antitrust division, I'm an attorney, I was a clerk on the court of the United States I was a private attorney I have the same credentials that virtually anyone who sits in my position does and I think it's a little unfair that just because I happen to have a famous father and other public officials don't that you make the assumption that is the basis on which I sit in my position.
Owens: Caller already asked this question so move on....
Stern: So out of all the people that sit on the commission, you were moved to the head of the class. I don't buy your explanation but OK.
You know, the thing that amazes me about you is, you continually fine me but you're afraid to go to court with me and I'll explain myself if you give me a second:
Fine after fine came and we tried to go to court with you to find out about obscenity and what your line was and whether our show was indecent, which I don't think it is. And you do something really sneaky behind the scenes. You continue to block Viacom from buying new stations until we pay those fines.
You are afraid to go court. You are afraid to get a ruling time and time again.
When will you allow this to go to court and stop practicing your form of racketeering that you do by making stations pay up or you hold up their license renewal?
Powell: First of all, that's flatly false.
Stern: It's not false. It's true.
Powell: I'm afraid it is. There's no reason why Viacom or any other company who feels that they have been wrongly fined can't sue us in court. We have no basis whatsoever to prevent them from going to court.
Stern: You're lying. I've lived through your fines, Michael. And Mel Karmazin came to me one day and said, Howard, we're gonna have to pay up some sort of cockamame (sp?) bunch of fines that we don't we're wrong because we can't get our paperwork done. We are finding it increasingly difficult to boy radio stations. I know you're not telling the truth. And I question why you are selected to be one who is the FCC commissioner....
I'm going to Sirius satellite radio....
Owens: That's the question I was going to ask. Now he's going to go to satellite. One of the things that I read is that there are people who said cable TV, satellite rad
Ross says his goal is to bring closer to reality his desire to create a "you are there" photographic experience for those who have not personally witnessed the sublime beauty of natural scenes such as Mt. Sopris in Colorado."
I hope he doesn't forget the gentle breeze. A small fan should work nicely.

Not enough.
(...but he best way to go is to try to exchange favor for favor. Both sides are usually quite happy with this.)
and a month of no flying (which kills my easy work commute and turns it into a 5 hour ordeal)
Steve Jobs is going blind! The lickable interface is sure to become gropetastic!

People don't like to admit that they're wrong.
NEWSFLASH! #2
People don't like to change.
NEWSFLASH! #3
People follow the majority.

under _no_ circumstances is torture justified.
certainly not when we're trying to win the hearts and minds of the iraqi people.

Its McCarthyism all over again.
perhaps you should be working with smaller files. gig plus photos. is it a life size billboard catalog? a gig file goes well past 20x24".

Yeah, this guy set off our paranoia. So?
He was using a laser pointer THAT WAS MADE TO BE POINTED AT THE SKY! Surprise! There are planes in the sky!

just get an ipod. it doesn't suck and you can put linux on it if you're so brave.
In October Michael Powell was on a call-in radio show. Stern called, here's what transpired...

Transcript from Buzz Machine - http://www.buzzmachine.com/archives/2004_10_26.htm l
Stern: Ronn, hi.
Owens: Is this who I think it is?
Stern: Yeah, and I want to say hi to the commissioner and a friend of mine told me the commissioner said he was going to be on the show....

That is a perfect analogy for the invasion of Iraq...
We're fighting with Moslems over a slab of bacon.
hm...maybe Dream Team would be a good name for those in charge of the war in Iraq...
