  1. Re:More to come on Apple vs Microsoft- Who's the Copycat? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Exactly! The WWDC is for developers/technophiles! Quite frankly, the next version of XCode and the ability to add animations to applications is not going to excite anyone but a developer. I'm not saying it's not important, they're just announcing things that are important to their audience -- which at the time was developers. I'm just saying that there's no point in bashing Apple for a "lackluster" presentation this early in the game. Has Apple given anyone a reason to think that they're suddenly done adding new, exciting things to their OS? Then why are we assuming that now?

    viewing all virtual desktops in miniature versions the way Spaces does might even be new, at least I haven't seen it before.
    Actually, XP has this in the form of a "PowerToy" released by Microsoft. Of course, it isn't nearly as polished as Spaces will be.

    Sure, the features shown at WWDC were a bit underwhelming for us "ordinary folk." Although I do think that Time Machine looks amazing. There's going to be more, just be patient. Apple's not going to give away all the good stuff when there's still half a year until it's released.

    There's a Soviet Russia joke here...

    I've got it covered.

    In Soviet Russia, Bittorrent considers distributing through you!

    Maybe not...

    Finally, a politician that makes sense!

    That can only mean he's a robot. Oh well, I for one welcome our logical clear-thinking robot overlords, and wish them luck in getting rid of the current government =)

  6. Pretty Sweet on Rosegarden 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I have the "old" rosegarden (I guess it's called X11 Rosegarden now) and this completely kicks the pants off of it. If only I had a computer that wasn't my laptop...I doubt this will run on a Pentium 1 (100 mHz of processing power! Oh yeah!) Seriously though, this looks to be even similar to GarageBand (please God let it be as good as GarageBand) which is the only reason I would want a Mac. That would be the greatest thing ever. I've looked for a GarageBand clone for Windows/Linux and this could be it - there certainly isn't another one.

  7. Re:The fact of the matter is... on It's Not TV, It's MythTV · · Score: 1

    Which explains why the iTunes store et al are going out of business. Oh, wait... And is it possible to shut down torrents? I thought that the point of those was there isn't a central server...
