The networking on Leopard is flawed. I work at the IT department for a small university. We, along with many close by colleges and universities, are having trouble with Leopard dropping network connections (both wireless and wired). It will work great until you turn off the computer or let it go into sleep mode. We had 3 Apple Engineers come to our campus last week and more or less said "Oh Crap" and said the problems will need to be addressed in future updates. Check Apple forums, this problem is being complained about all over. The premise that "it works for me, you must just be doing something wrong" is really flawed. Also, I myself have experience multiple crashes while using Leopard on multiple different computers.
The College I go to is a private College. We also have a internet filter on the student VLANs. Most of the reason for this filter is due to the fact that the college is christian and does not want to promote offensive material. (The college also has a no alcohol policy). If students do get the "Site Blocked due to ___" page for a legitimate site, they can send an email and get it unblocked (within 2 hours during the work week). Also an interesting fact from the network logs, before the filter was put in place 5 years ago, 63% of all student VLAN web traffic was p0rn. If you throw out moral reasons, does a college really want to pay for that much bandwidth for p0rn?
The schools are really afraid of technology and they do not know how to controll it. At my school a couple of my friends who liked to poke around on computers found the instant messaging function on the novell system. The system admins had no idea it was there, that the functionality had been turned on, how to monitor who started the IMs, and how to turn it off. When one of us would send a bunch of IM's it would give the person who received the IM the ability to IM anyone else logged into the system. The school administration could not control it and they threatend the whole school with disciplinary action.
Can someone please explain how a second collision is supposed to happen? If all the planets/stars/galaxies are moving away from each other how do they all collide again? Is there some gigantic black hole that pulls everything back together?
Why is this a big deal now? IE 6 defaults to MSN search if you type in the wrong web address or put in a search term in the address bar. this did not create a monopoly for MSN. And these computer users who do not know how to change their homepage and who want to keep their homepage on MSN after they switch to firefox are the same people who will not know what the search bar at the top of the screen is for anyway. They will still type www.google.com in the address bar when they want to search for something. And why in the hell would MS want to default their search engine to google anyway? It is already possible for anyone who knows a little about software to change their default search engine. Isn't that enough. Why does MS need to cater to google? When will everyone stop thinking google is a company not out to make $$? Google just wants people to use their search engine so they can make more money. Soon google will be a monopoly just like MS and people will change their attitudes about google (hopefully).
RTFA - The DVD players output at 1080i in the component connection already. In order to get the higher quality 1080p you need to use the HDMI connection.
Now we can see if there is any benifit to playing a game in windows or OSX. I would like to see the same game played on one of these dual-boot macs and see if one plays better under windows or OSX. The game will be running on identical hardware.
Actaully arcing capacitors just mean that there is a design flaw in the capacitor, not the TV itself. This has nothing to do with the type of TV it is. All electronic devices have capacitors. An arcing capcitor just means that the insulating material inside the capacitor does not have a high enough insulation constant to prevent the amount of voltage in the capacitor from sparking. Either phillips overloaded the capacitors or the manufactorer of the capacitors did not spec them correctly.
Cisco systems already has this. At my university network admins can do this. It is just not as public as MIT. Plus this only tells where your computer is, not where you are.
The fact that Apple has been insistent on using its own hardware for its OS has been its greatest downfall and hurdle. Because of this OSX is going to run on intel now. Because microsoft allowed its OS to run on third party hardware allowed it the thrive and gain a foothold.
The oversimplification is what you are saying. You are saying hardly anyone who is medicated doenst need to be. You are so wrong my friend. This is what america does, wake up would ya? If there is anything that is slightly wrong we medicate. We medicate because of little things in our lives. We medicate our livestock to the point where antibiotics don't work anymore because the diseases have become ammune to it. It all comes back to the fact that we need a quick fix. We have the mentality of drug first and ask questions later. I call bullshit on assuming everyone is being treated correctly for their illness or even if they have an illness.
I think believing everything you hear would give you the mindset that everyone who is medicated needs to be medicated. Which means that you believe no one has ever been medicated because they faked an illness for attention, or misdiagnoises by a doctor, or nonexistent symptoms. I do believe that the news needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
I agree, just because you are different doesn't mean you have a mental illness. A hyper kid is now ADD, fat kid has an eating disorder, seriuos person is depressed, happy person is anxious, quiet kid has bi-polar. Yes these illnesses do exist but not at the low levels where we drug them.
It is not the extremes you seem to want to make it out to be. There is a middle ground between "everyone who says they have a mental disease has one" and that "no one besides the people you know has a mental disease." My best friend works in a mental institution. This is something he deals with everyday. Institution reports believe that almost 25% of all the patients in the institution are blaming some mental disease for attention or lack of responsibilty.
I have friends and family members with mental illness. My mom has had cancer 5 times. What bothers me is when people do not want to take responsibilty for their actions and blame some illness they read about on the internet for their actions. i believe this belittles the people who actually suffer from these problems. I do believe in mental illness, but it has gone way way too far. The whole mind set of "I'm not normal, I must have this disease." needs to be changed.
As Firefox's popularity grows, its security problems will grow too. Once IE is de-throned, and firefox takes its place as the number one browser, hackers will turn all their attention to firefox because they want to affect as many users as possible.
I think this idea of the quick fix is also causing a lack of mental responsiblity. Doctors nowadays can diagnoise anyone with anything. Joe Guy has been late to work the last few days, lets call it a chemical imbalance in the brain that makes him late, its not his fault, its his mind. There is no more accountability anymore, just people making more excuses and using unrelated medical information to give their problem a name.
I think the web is making everyone out to gullable. We all need to remember that there is a lot of FALSE information on the web. I think this applies to other things other than medicine. The web is giving a false sense of knowlege.
Are we going to get an update on Video iPods everyday until they come out? It amazes me how every single apple story makes it as news. "Apple news today, Jobs considers light green for iPod video color."
Well said, it seems the cracked and pirated versions of these games work better. They dont have all the copy protection as the original game so they dont crash as often. This seems to not deter but actually encourage people to be pirates.
"Seeing how most consumers don't own televisions that support hi-def content".....Except when the whole nation switches over from analog to digital TV. By that time most people will have a HD TV or at EDTV so then more people than just the geeks will care.

My sister just bought a "Vista Ready" laptop for $900, that doesn't sound insane to me.

You want auto-play or fast-forward? Try cheat codes. Just about every game has them. You might be most fond of the jump level cheat.
I would go with....hype.
