J: Can you travel faster than light?
Me: No, I can't. And you?
J: I don't have one.
Me: You don't have one of what?
J: A love life.
Me: So you would like to have a girl?
J: Yes, But only if you don't have a love life.
Somebody already noted that this is not true in all temperaments. But even in the context of equal temperament, homophones may be noted may require different notations to be properly identified, esp. when talking about harmony. Quick example: the major third of C# is, indeed, E# - and it is of course the same note as an F.
This is the awesomeness of the awesome bar. It doesn't just search the URL of your history and bookmarks, it searches the page title as well! So while trying to remember the URL for the Warlord Tiefling page would be impossible, the awesome bar means you don't have to.
...or, if are using Mac OS, Safari history is indexed by Spotlight, you can find it even when your browser is closed, and the url bar stays for the urls.
And in the case of this specific exploit, I am sure that a number of newbie Apple users would happily tap in "osascript -e 'tell app "ARDAgent" to do shell script "whoami"'" into their computers purely because "Jim The Friendly Computer Support Engineer" told them to do it. This is not an exmple of exploiting, this is social engineering (or SPARTA!, I never remember).
The same way they could happily type rm -rf / (don't try this at home) because Jim the still friendly but not so useful now Engineer told them.
Has its own platform-independent GUI drawing code, and those widgets are designed to match the native widgets on each platform
...and they still FAIL big time on this point, at least on Mac OS (can't speak for Windows). Seriously, are they thinking Mac users won't notice? Or they don't care about the looks?:|
I (and most Mac users) still find the top screen menu bar extremely useful. 1) Reachability: being of infinite dimension is extremely easy to point to (see Fitts' Law). Setups with big monitor(s) are only a better example (good luck pointing a 30px bar on a destkop spanning 2560x1024)
2) Screen estate: meanwhile, on smaller displays (laptops are 13"-15"), last thing I want is wasting half of my space in menu bars I'm not using.
Well, just because it's new it doesn't mean it is an effective UI paradigm. I remember that some old logitech software had pie menus assignable to third mouse button... absolutely unusable. But then with touch involved we'll have to reconsider many things, Fitt's law in primis.
This technology has been around for centuries!
256 bits to describe the content of an image? It's called title.
1024 bits to describe the content of an image? It's called a caption.
speaks to the fetishistic appeal of those shiny laptops and the absence of any real value in their products. The fact that some people buy worthless crap doesn't mean that everything the people buys is worthless.
Photoshop is another notable exception.
I still find the newest iCal better, just for the event inspector, which IS ugly (vertical pinstripes are ok on man suits, ko everywhere else), but saves me a LOT of space compared to the old drawer.
Man, how I hated those drawers.
Here in Italy you can sue somebody because of biological damage, moral damage, or existential damage.
Your analogy is quite flawed... a more apt one would be not paying for a hooker after having enjoyed her services.
In the words of former Pope John Paul II: "The images of hell that Sacred Scripture presents to us must be correctly interpreted. They show the complete frustration and emptiness of life without God. Rather than a place, Hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy"

Isn't that the same thing people said when the first computers were being developed?
*WOOOOSH*
For those who don't get the above quote, here's the video where Bush says the above.
I misread "Scandivian dentists designing robotic snakes". It made very little sense.
Try these.

That's what happens when you have a completely cray system to associate protocols and file types with apps like that of Windows.

That has changed a lot with the release of Leopard, since the only style used now is the Unified one.
