    will satellite radio services be upset if their broadcasts are recorded and saved?

    I would guess yes.

    Did I mention the talk radio and the ACC/Big 10/Pac-10 games?

    And iPod does not? Last I checked iPod has brick, parachute, solitaire, and you can download text games on from the internet.


    The ACC/Big 10/Pac-10 are American collegiate athletic conferences, not video games.

    2: I believe another reply has addressed this, but since you are not aware, Apple partially sponsored a Linux kernel/Mach kernel system called MkLinux that still runs on old Mac hardware. This sounds very much like an "option or influence" related to Apple's adoption of a hybrid BSD/Mach microkernel for their new OS. (MkLinux)

    I am not sure you can really make that argument. NEXTSTEP had a Mach/BSD kernel in 1980's, well before Linux existed. I guess you could argue that Apple's MKLinux experience might have been a plus factor for Next over Be, but I imagine that Jobs presence and the incomplete nature of BeOS were much, much bigger factors

    Maybe they are both right. Perhaps a 1 hour charge gets you a 200 mile range and 10 hours fully charges the battery.

    You mean dual wielding is common on FPS?

    It is in Bungie FPS. Marathon had dual pistols back in 1994. I was surprised that Halo 1 did not a have it.

    1] Get out of car, get toddler out of car seat, take irritated toddler, who I just woke up, into petrol station. Apologise to other customers about the screaming child. Pre-pay for petrol (since my local station is pre-pay only now). Put toddler back in car seat, this pisses him off even more. Fill car. Get back in car. Spend next 30 minutes with a screaming child in the back seat because he had his sleep interrupted. :-)

    Or you could let your kid sleep and pay at the pump with a debit or credit card.

    Hence the folly of having a government run by Christians, in a country founded (and somewhat populated) by puritans.

    The Puritans were Christians. They wanted to "purify" the Anglican Church.

  25. Re:Apple Support on Ask RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A couple of points:

    1. Why do you really have so little faith in your product? If you offered a superior player and service Mac users would switch. Your player already supports songs from iTunes Music Store so that would ease the transition.

    2. Is it really impossible to make drm capable quicktime components? Because with Real component your songs would play in iTunes.
