Nope. I have XP at work and OS X at home. Sometimes I have to remind myself as I wade through a XP search -- "Oh yea, this is a regular search box, not Spotlight."
This week a buddy of mine came over to borrow time on my iMac. He too was impressed with Spotlight.
I don't know what experience you've had but "barely works" is not how I describe Spotlight. I am looking forward to additional improvements in Leopard.
Your arguement for needing lawyers didn't help Mr Lee from Los Alamos. He spent a year in jail with charges never being made. Crossing i's and dotting t's doesn't mean squat. If the Government wants to send you to jail, it can.
There's one way to find out. If this guy kills somebody while driving drunk anytime in the future then execute his lawyer.
Seems like we find ourselves a long way from making sure people are only punished for the crimes they've committed and their sentences are just.
We've got a huge problem here in New Mexico where we have some folks (both men and women) with anywhere from 14 to 20 convictions of driving while intoxicated. All the politicians talk tough, but the drunks are still out there driving. One lady decided she was too drunk to drive so she let her 10 year old daughter drive her home. The daughter was doing great until she drove the car through a brick wall fence.
I say cane the SOB until he cries like a school girl.
Hear! Hear! I'm also extremely skeptical of computers in the classroom, and even more skeptical of schools giving computers to every student.
The one good example I've seen of a computer being useful in a classroom was in support of the local elementary school reading program. After reading a book, the kids would take a test on the classroom's computer. The computer kept a running total on the number of tests passed and the reading level of the books. At the end of the year, the number one reader was recognized and each student that read a sufficient number of books at their grade's reading level or higher got to take a turn trying to dunk the principal in a dunk tank.
Other than that, I haven't seen any compelling reasons to justify the time, expense, or lost classroom space. Given the low graduation rate, high drop out rate, and the number of failing kids, I don't see how a computer is the solution.
Disgrace? Not hardly.
Cudos to Burt, but I don't see him spending days in orbit. I don't see him taking space walks. I don't see him delivering satellites. I don't see him repairing satellites in orbit.
Cut the "Burt Rutan can do NASA better than NASA" crap. The shuttle has been a great workhorse.

I don't know. The whole idea sounds weevil.

What we really need is one ginormous sponge, Bob.
I think I saw that in a Kung Fu movie...
Lefty: Hey Zeke, it's your turn to go down to the pit and get some more croc serum.
Which basically means the only person who can drive it is MacGyver.
Interesting sig. My Savior was seen by over 500 people after he died. The hammer and nails didn't appear to work.

The real problem is I want a GREAT car but some company is out there trying to change the gas pumps so they only work with the cheap cars.

Uhh, ... bigger is better?
I think it is possible this is the most amusingly ridiculous piece of "legitemate" news I've read in awhile...
Let's try this one... Today's headline: Guess what? Men don't mind seeing naked women...
