The format itself does not really matter (to me). I would prefer AAC, but MP3 is fine. What really matters is that the encoding is at a high enough bit rate and was done well. Correct id3 tags and artwork help too. If format is so important to people you might think about offering multiple formats in the downloads (I'm sure a lot of people around here want ogg).
The eject menu extra in in Jaguar. It's just that there is no GUI to turn it on. It's in a folder in/Library or/System/Library (can't remember which). Or just search for.menuextra (iirc - I'm on a Windows box at work)
In general this is true (it works on Safari on Panther for example). Unfortunatly the Finder.app bundle does not appear to contain a nib file for the main Finder window. It contains a load of other nibs though. It looks like the main windows are created programatically so are not as easy to swich back to aqua.
The Sub Pop coments confused me some what. Sub Pop were Nirvana's label. A load of Nirvana is up on iTMS already. So how come Sub Pop don't know how much they are getting paid?
Also note on the Windows Server 2003 page they talk about the release like it already happened. They say it was release on 24 April 2003. Do they have a time machine? It's still March here. They also say that Server 2003 was the best MS OS ever. How can they know?
Perhaps this is a problem for some people, but I have used one of these mats for over a year at work and have to say that it really is very good. Unfortunatly it messes up some optical mice (the newest ones seem to work OK).
Not any more (in London). Most new property (at least in Docklands) is supposed to be built with 999 year leases (which are supposed to be more or less for ever as very few residential developments last for 1000 years). That said the flat I bought a while back was built with a 120 year lease on the land. Most people renegotiate their lease with at least 50 years left on it as you simply can't sell property with less that 50 years left on the lease.
I have been working in the City for over 2 years now and have not been required to wear a suit since my interview (apart from at a couple of recruitment things). A lot of the other major banks have switched back recently but here (CitiGroup) and Goldmans have stuck with "business casual".
I don't think they stole them as such. I think they re-used the preferences architecture built into OSX. Each button has a bundle for it which is basically a plug-in. The main preferences page simply loads each plugin as required ans resized the view to fit. There is a standard defined for these (by Apple) and a preset template in Project Builder for them.
That's what you would think, but is not always the case. The Unsanity Haxies (installed without root access iirc) stop many people from getting their USB digital camaras to work. This happened to me. Uninstall FruitMenu, get your photos. No idea why...
What did you expect the screen shots (shots of the screen, or computer grabbed shots of stuff on the screen which would be grabbed from the framebuffer anyway) to show you. Unless you have a 3D monitor and some software to interpret the shots in 3D all you would have seen was a really screwed up looking image on a display. Not worth it. The seems like a technology you have to see in real life to get the full effect.
Darwin is the core of the OS. It consists of (iirc) the Mach kernel and the BSD layer, but not the higher OSX layers (Quartz, Open GL, Carbon, Cocoa, QuickTime and so on). So any command line app should run, but iPhoto which relies on Quartz, Cocoa and some other stuff will not.
I am in the UK, have been visiting for, well who knows how long now and have been a moderator quite a few times (still remember the shock the first time it happened). iirc you have to wait till your member ID drops within a certain percentage of the total IDs. It's something like when your ID falls withing the lower 80% of the IDs then your ID will be dropped into the mod pool. It's more than likely in the FAQs somewhere.
This is way out of date. The most recently available developer tools for OSX 10.1 (April iirc) contained GCC 3 and instructions for telling ProjectBuilder to use it instead of GCC 2 (USE_GCC3 = YES iirc). It also contained a ban on distibuting apps compiled with it as Apple were still testing it fully and making minor changes. All that has happened is that this process has completed and Apple are now happy that GCC 3 works correctly.

Yes. But the people referenced above all PUBLISHED their translations for others. This is not OK. This is, in fact, illegal.

Snigger. Thats an old iPod - the new (Generation 3) iPods are even smaller!

But computers don't have to worry about wind (and road) resistance.
It's only 1 AGP card. The Ultra version simply requires a PCI slot for the massive cooler the card needs.
This is an option in the Energy Saver control panel - you can tell it not to.

Quicktime Pro allows you to do this, I don't think that normal Quicktime Player allows you to do this :(
It is probably 60 pence of which there are (now) 100 of in a pound.
Sky are not a cable company. They are a satelite company.
They are going to produce a product which is the same size as a CD, and even looks the same. But if it won't play on a CD player then it's not a CD.

Mostly. But there is an overhead for file-system data as well (which of course varies in size with drive and file-system).

Yes but MS Office, or any other Windows native code you are wanting to run will still be compiled for x86.
