Maybe, but why should Google pay twice? I'm sure they already pay their ISP for their bandwith and the end users are also paying for their bandwith. What's the point in making google (or anybody for that matter) pay again?
Hmmm yeah... most gasoline engines today don't have a vacuum pump, they simply use the vacuum of the engine for the power brakes. However, if you have a diesel engine or a [turbo,super]-charged engine, the car might have an electric vacuum pump. Now, braking without the brake booster (power brakes) is feasible, but it takes more effort.
Also, remember that if the ECU is killed and that the engine is not running on its own, the transmission is most likely still in gear. The wheels will make the engine turn, creating vacuum for the brake booster and hydrolic pressure for the power steering (unless the car has an electric hydrolic pump, which is becoming more common in modern engines).
It is legal to make a copy to a blank disc (or put it on a MP3 player that you paid the levy), but if you download a song and simply keep it on your hard disc, you did not pay the levy, thus you didn't pay the song's rights.
This is interesting. Where can I get a list of the keycodes so I can modify other keys?
For example, the Canadian CSA keymap has a comma on the numeric keypad instead of a period. I've modified/System/Library/Keyboard Layouts/Roman.bundle with ResEdit, but i'd like a less drastic way.
ps: there's really something to be said about incorporating the rendering power of modern graphics cards for eye candy and lightening the load of the CPU.
meh... it uses the Quartz Extreme(tm) compositing engine. Each window is an OpenGL texture applied to a polygon. So, with expose, all you need to do is tell the video card to scale down those polygons and the GPU will take care of scaling down the textures.
IIRC, Longhorn should integrate OpenGL GUI drawing a step further, not just for compositing the screen, but also for compositing the windows... each button, text field, etc being an OpenGL object
Macs have automated updates that require rebooting? Horrors! Well of course Macs have that. However they are usually not emergencies, or in response to the latest worm or virus, they can be scheduled at your convenience, and no need to reboot at that time unless you want to. This ain't Windows! Macs just work when you want, how you want.
I'm a sysadmin in a high school. We got this summer a few eMacs and so i'm deploying OS X for the first time on clients.
I've come to the conclusion that the automated updates GUI is not usable because it needs interaction with the user and also needs the user to authenticate as an admin. However, there is an CLI equivalent named softwareupdate that can be ran automatically from a cron script. Also, softwareupdate will not reboot the machine, so you can run the update whenever you want and let the user do the rebooting or schedule the reboot with shutdown.
Labels must use an encoder made by Apple before submitting them to iTMS. It was mentioned in the article of a guy who went to presentation that Steve Jobs made for the indie labels.
Have you ever wondered if scientist one day create a ternary computer... We would talk about CPU in terms of tits instead of bits;)
we could see Penthouse, Hustler and Playboy publish articles on the computer industry: "Intel launched today its new 64-tits processor, code-named 'Pamela Handerson'.

Sometimes I'd like a real tactile keyboard, the ones that click, but I don't know where to find those anymore. I actually have one in my basement, but many years ago I spilled a plastic bonding agent on the keys, and while the board still functions, the keys are all grimy.
try checking PCKeyboard.Com, they bought the keyboard division of Lexmark, so the old bucking-spring technology used in the IBM model M keyboard.
Stop trying to copy that damn specification to create the same effect that with DeCSS! We will never solve this problem that way.
Stop hiding behind your keyboard, running away and spreading the info away without confronting those damned stupid copyright laws once and for all!
If we (the/. and the OSS community as a whole) don't confront those law, we always will have to run away! On the other hand, if we stand up, get legal and get that problem solved, we will have peace of mind and no more lawyers running for us (at least for that subject).

You can enter the adress of the WINS server in the Directory Access application.
Also, about the printer, it is probably supported with Ghostscript, so, yes you can print on it, although the quality will not be the same.

Hey, if they add PKI, why not adding support for PGP?
sure, if your credit card number is stolen it's not really that serious, but what about your social security number?
then, oops you're not yourself anymore. you are a bit of you AND what the thief decided to do with you id. not a good thing.
