I get the feeling they were overcompensating due to her gender. A Battlestar Galactica-style female leader would've been much more interesting i feel. You know... someone with feelings.
Eh. I say it is a tossup as to which sucks more (DS9 or Voyager). I personally feel that TNG was the best of them all (as do all sane people). The captain in Voyager just pissed me off. What a bitch! Leaving behind the enemy to die just because they're your enemy. Picard never would've done that. He'd of scooped them up and had tea.
Thank you for the proof.:-) You must forgive me. I'd spent too much time listening to audiophiles talk about how they can still hear the individual samples in 24/96 audio...
The GPL hasn't changed any of that. You can still get locked into proprietary solutions just as before. The only difference is now there are Free alternatives available, so there is no reason to get locked in to begin with. Many of those free alternatives are non-GPL licensed softwares by the way.
It is even more obnoxious than hearing them talk in the first place. If they're truly "fanboys", then just ignore them already. Stop being such a bunch of anti-fanboyismists. You sound like a bunch of high schoolers that feel so awesome because they're not in middle school anymore. Anyone who accuses another of "fanboyism" was likely a "fanboy" themselves, otherwise they wouldn't even know what the term means.
You only need the first disc. They even offer a business-card sized disc which grabs what it needs from the net. I don't know anyone who uses all twelve discs.
Anything should be better. I'm not going to get into details here, but if anyone has actually used it, they'll know how limited and clunky it is. John Siracusa outlined the issues well in the Ars write-up on Tiger.
The longer the lines of text are, the more space you need inbetween each line in order to maintain the same level of readability. Long lines make it difficult to find the next line when you finish a line unless there is a good deal of space inbetween. This is the same reason newspapers break up text into columns. Imagine a newspaper with 18" long lines.
You don't keep attribution. You also get to keep copyright. You also get to slap a nice disclaimer on there saying if anything goes wrong, it isn't your fault. I'm not sure I'd feel as comfortable releasing under public domain because of that, although I am interested in doing so.
The only music that will be Free is the music that is already Free. Artists that will only release music commercially will die off. In a way, the future is already here. There is just a bunch of other crap to go with it.
I live in NYC. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a murder on my block, four child molesters, and yes, a recycling plant. The only thing we're missing is a windmill!
They're a symbol of "green" energy and sanity. I couldn't give a fuck if it is blocking someone's view of some hill across yonder. I... I don't even have any coherent words to say about this. Since when is your "view" more important than the environment and public health!? I'm sucking on pollution and being irradiated due to coal plants because of these idiots! Fuck your view! Bring on the windmills!
The only difference I see, if any, is that Apple makes the OS X and the hardware, so it seems silly not to bundle them. With Dell, MS (I assume) strongly encourages the bundling, as is evidenced by the fact that a Dell without Windows is basically the same price as one with Windows.
For what it is worth, all PPC linux distros I have tried (Ubuntu and Slackintosh anyway) have HFS+ support compiled in out of the box. To mount your OS X partition, you just do:
# mkdir/mnt/osx (or whatever you want to call it -- you only have to do this once) # mount -t hfsplus/dev/hdaN/mnt/osx (change hdaN to wherever your OS X partition is) # cd/mnt/osx (takes you to the "root" of your OS X partition)
Because of this, you can share files between partitions fine. Just make sure the "shared" folder is on the HFS+ partition.:-) No need to use FAT32 or anything like that. The only downside is that you can't edit anything inside your ext2/ext3/reiserfs partition when on OS X, but generally you wouldn't want/need to do that anyway. Sharing files is all you need to do. If you want to administer your Linux partition, reboot into Linux.;-)
Yes, the Apple tax is part of buying hardware from Apple. Makes sense to me. Of course if you actually bought a Mac just to run Windows on it exclusively, that would be horribly sad... I can't imagine you actually doing it once you got used to OS X.

8 bits of brightness per subpixel which is fine for most situations ... but duplicating nature can require about 20 bits
I'm not buying it. Where's the proof?

Given the issues with 1.5, I don't see why it would be in "stable" anyway. It is in unstable where it belongs until more of the issues get sorted out.
It is "you're", not "your", you completely insane man.

A listed company has an obligation to maximise value to their shareholders.
False. Please stop repeating this on Slashdot. I voted for Nader and I still know this is crap. It is not nearly that simple.

What are you talking about? When was the last time Microsoft gave apple free money? They bought shares of non-voting stock once. That's it.

I think I'd unplug it every time it went off.
How is it required? I'm using iTunes now and I haven't updated. Works fine?
What exactly is a mandatory update?
There is no ext2/ext3 support for 10.4. It only exists for earlier versions.
