I got Samsung 19" CRT and I can't buy a LCD because damn thing displays excellent.
Also I am not giving up any device unless it blows or something.
As there is a space here for 22" CRT, I may buy in future and make 19" my secondary monitor.
Yes, LCD is for low weight, space and environment. Even ILO standards, ISO standards compliance. E.g. My bank uses them happily for their purpose.;)
I am not giving up this white background and the excellent black I am seeing now on 1280*960 32bpp.
If www.E-Ink.com finally reaches to consumer level, text based or non 30fps stuff could be fine on a e-ink panel. Its good for PDA now (another reason why I keep postponing upgrade my 7650 Nokia)
Its not a FUD, some JERK out there coded software update control panel in a way that it will crash on non english locale Macs.
If run from a secondary account giving admin pwd, it will work.
If set first language of locale settings to English , it will work.
First time in my life, I have disabled the automatic software updates on any os because of that, glad I am a versiontracker pro subscriber. It does the update checks for me.
What if I wasn't? What if I didn't pay $50 for my own comfort?
In fact, I have a clue about what happens. If you try to get DVD Player update 4.6 and try to install in same circumstances, INSTALLER will crash. If you run Installer as ROOT (I think superuser) and open DVDPlayer update package, it won't.
Something checks its ability to work in a real harsh way bound to locale of OS and system says "back off", it has no "B plan", it crashes.
A real FUD would be Apple employing clueless people thinking only USA exists on this planet in core team. Is it?;)
As you have a G5 mac (as I do too), what about the Safari update scandal to OS X Jaguar users? What was excuse of Apple? "Because of newer frameworks we rely on"
What is the difference than?
Also very sad thing, I was called "poor" by Apple zealots out there when I bitched about it. "Don't use old OS than, pay something" type crap.
Funny is, it happened because of my (all paid,legal) policy here, OS X Panther wasn't physically HERE! So I was blamed not to pirate.
A funny fact, while it can be called crap right now, you can download IE 5 (latest) to Tiger and it works without a single alert at console.log (you know the bla bla there)
I don't know why its called crap except its performance btw, MS could even _sell_ such a browser on Win32 platform. Also, all this IE fight would not happen if it sat in its own directory doing nothing else than browsing. What would happen? Eh, the applications from so called rivals of MS would not work, Realplayer, ICQ, Winamp all rely on mshtml.dll;)
A guy at level of being Intel CEO does NOT allow such a leak.
Intel and Apple are on something but no, Apple won't leave powerPC platform or we leave Apple:)
If they are fishing for community response, let me say my part. Nobody on Earth can sell me a LCD tablet PC while http://www.e-ink.com/ is well and alive, selling stuff already in Japan.
Taskbar is the dock on OS X. I feel sorry having to remind it. If the parent used windowmaker or afterstep, he would understand taskbar is a old approach. With a huge object oriented (hello! I can drag a mail here, to this window and its pasted) OS, taskbar is.. Well, funny:) Got sort of it in Path Finder, cool for app quitting party before I launch some huge game etc.
Virtual workspace is enabled by many freeware apps, with a huge invention like Expose, need for them is less. Telling as a guy who loves virtual desks since first times I used windowmaker. (openstep)
One must not forget the amazing support of dual monitors (or add more in some configs) of Mac OS tradition.
You try to educate the parent but he clearly didn't see the desktops of 8gig Mac using pros.;)
Must say OS X having *nix type thing at back confuses geeks.
OpenOffice, Firefox, GIMP... OK, I know I will get flamed but none of them can race with "native" stuff of OS X. OS X user doesn't mean a GIMP fan automatically. OK, I respect GIMP but.. Photoshop CS? Come on.
Forget Longhorn etc, OS X is currently years ahead of Windows and Linux combined.
If user can't get Services menu working when he selects any object, forget racing with Apple and especially Adobe.
BTW- I won't buy Photoshop CS to home and Elements are too Light. So, just want to give reality check. Hope one day GIMP becomes professionals choice.
Government action is: Mail servers, servers are SHUT DOWN until businesses PROVE they are legit/non spammer business, servers patched, force ISP buy whatever security service needed, price not asked.
As a spam reporting guy, believe me when I say it. Those ISP's are in a point of S. Korea congress/parliament whatever hearing. Its in "police" level of spamming and ignorance.
I may easily say the Korean giants as Samsung etc may be effected. I got Korea IP space blocked for instance.
Florida? Hope you never see Korean chars in your inbox.
PS: I will shoot the first guy telling poor Koreans can't manage their servers or doesn't know english etc. If you can't manage, you don't "BE" on Internet and effect its stability, peace!
At a Prodigy concert, mid sized, lots of rich people having "cool phones", Istanbul. 5000 or more.
I had 3 Cabir requests on my Nokia 7650. Yes, I forgot the bt discoverable. Funny is, that 7650 is my brothers one and I didn't have clue they have viruses. I remember I was thinking "Why the hell you want to send a symbian application in a 10.000 watt concert?":)
BTW, I wouldn't buy Symantec stuff, I would go with Frisk's F-Prot. Forget everything, its geography. If you buy anything phone related, check North Europe companies first:)
A lot of companies/coders fixed it but just years ago, a malicious jpeg or gif header (can't remember) could rape your application and machine just by stating its a 20.000*10.000 resolution.
The software which they didn't steal:) is a very advanced application in fact. I tried it myself just recently and for windows people out there, Konfubulator XP has shipped, give it a try until it gets this time into longhorn *g*
Asked myself why such advanced coders give plain sit,sitx,zip files for installing manually to widgets directory (or anywhere) and require user to double click it to launch.

Excuse me for current LCD and plasma now.
I'd tell one brand for high end pro stuff: http://www.barco.com/
;)
Of course there are other brands as Sony but I don't know their products too much and a bit hard to find a thing at Sony site
If he goes to a end user based shop, they will tell SCSI is dead too while its at fiber levels now.

I don't think it could be done that easy since most of the Safari which looks neat and simple relies on excellent OS X frameworks and Quartz Extreme.
I bet they didn't use Opera 3.x in their life.
/ tabs.png
;) Glad I licensed it in horrible beta test seeing "This is the future"
When the genius (!) idea of popup based signing in etc popped up, you could HATE that browser.
Opening a popup as a tab is the ugliest thing ever.
Opera was pure MDI those times and they had to change a lot since people like me got mad. Even opening a new browser window for popup was better.
Oh the background tab etc. I bet they will put small rendered windows instead of tabs like this: http://www.omnigroup.com/images/images-5/features
Everyone steals from Omniweb these days
Also IMDB doesn't elect W. Bush ''man of year"

I remember at least 1 Atari 800XL virus too, some assembly coder friend was trying to decompile it.
I wonder if I missed some google brainwashing signal or something.
Its amazing you people don't know http://my.yahoo.com/
See the limits of customization, I can't really understand you people.
Those tiny screens you put on eyeglasses are ready for public consumption? Those ones I saw military usage etc.

Yes, you understood what I predict
BTW, why does iTunes have fullscreen video playback and "contains unpublished work from Dolby labs" ?

All Major mail servers should block South Korea until their government takes action to following:
http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=inprogress
Its dynamic statistic. Kornet and Hananet.
Government action is: Mail servers, servers are SHUT DOWN until businesses PROVE they are legit/non spammer business, servers patched, force ISP buy whatever security service needed, price not asked.

Yes, it was memory allocation and really a bad experience for ones they tried on purpose :)
I deserved it, should click the preview but too late :)
Seriously, how come no MS zealots came up with the (now dead) Active Desktop of IE 4 times?
;)
I mean, I used that thing. Hope not hallucinated.
Giving a clue to MS zealots because I hate Apple zealots equally is another thing btw
A lot of companies/coders fixed it but just years ago, a malicious jpeg or gif header (can't remember) could rape your application and machine just by stating its a 20.000*10.000 resolution.
No elite asm code, nothing at all. Just a header.
Got too much karma to burn? :)
I tried the "thing" finally, seriously to have idea before my tiger arrives. Couldn't believe my eyes.
Several levels of control for YOU, a slashdot reader/poster.

Now it would be an excellent world if you didn't make 2% of total computer population
Here, another proof ;)
The software which they didn't steal :) is a very advanced application in fact. I tried it myself just recently and for windows people out there, Konfubulator XP has shipped, give it a try until it gets this time into longhorn *g*
;)
Asked myself why such advanced coders give plain sit,sitx,zip files for installing manually to widgets directory (or anywhere) and require user to double click it to launch.
Now I had my answer
Oh, I didn't write completely. The monitor refresh etc was fetched OK while on XP too.
.icc profile (file) from Samsung to do it.
Just the interesting is, Apple also fetches its factory colour profile, XP needs a
Matrox does I guess, their billion colour card has a photoshop plugin. Eh, its a bit semi-pro.
