Indeed. I am one of them. Generally think that Apple products are the height of douchebaggery, but then I was given an iphone to test. Love it. Waaaaay better than the piece of crap MotoQ and Blackberry I had previously.
And if your buddy had CompleteCare on his bread, it would have been replaced, free of charge. Your AppleBread, not so much. The Apple Bread Co doesn't like you "abusing" their bread.
I know at least one of the major fixes is an 802.1X implementation that actually works without having to install the Internet Connect App. It's finally going to correctly support 802.1X PEAP w/WEP and WPA, something the previous version of 10.5 did horribly, if at all. Installing the Internet Connect app from 10.4 was a useful workaround, but seemed like a pretty stupid thing to have to do, especially for an apple product. But, as along as 10.5.3 works, my clients should be hapy (if a bit annoyed that it took so long).
I've found that as I've gotten older, I tend to enjoy my dreams more, even the nightmares. I've gotten to the point (for the most part) that I can recognize a nightmare, and I see it as more of a challenge or a game than an actually frightening situation. They can still be scary as hell (usually involving my family being hurt or something), but can be a great problem solving tool. One other thing that has always really fascinated me, is people having the SAME dream. For instance, apparently my father and I both have the exact same (or nearly the same) dream in which we show up for class one day and realize it's the end of the semester and we've completely forgotten about a class we were supposed to be going to all year. It really freaked me out when we discovered that we have the same dream. Cool stuff.
So, the net effect of this will be to put small businesses out of business. How can the coffee shop down the street comply with this? The time and storage capacity needed for this is ridiculous.
Just had a horrible thought: Once you store it (in a harddrive so big it doesnt exist yet), aren't you now in possession of it? This is the catch22 of the exercise, you have to somehow sift through thousands of files LOOKING for "illegal" stuff and report it, or YOU can be charged. This will NEVER fly with the supreme court. Once this hits the mainstream news people are going to freak out and get pissed.
The fact is, Leopard IS broken. We have several on our IN shelf right now with the exact same problem the author is decribing. And most annoying to me (I do wireless for a university) is that 802.1X is STILL broken, even in 10.5.1. That's a YOOOOOGE problem. It worked just fine and dandy in 10.3 and 10.4. Something has gone horribly wrong...
10.5.1 (revised) is out, and 802.1x is STILL broken. The really scary part is when we talk with the Apple reps and system engineers, they uniformly tell us that "we don't know a whole lot about 802.1x." Ummm, what? You've had 802.1x since 10.3. I won't even go into how long MS has had 802.1x compatibility. C'mon Apple, FIX YOUR SHIT!
So the author starts off the article by lambasting those who don't know the original series, and then proceeds to spend the majority of the article rehashing the "City on the Edge of Forever" episode and the Kobyashi Maru scenario. Oh, and has a few sentences thrown in about the new movie. Man, that was bad.
Why is it that movies that depict extremely graphic, senseless murder receive PG-13 and R ratings, while full-frontal nudity can easily doom a movie with the forbidden NC-17 rating? Surely murder is worse than sex, so why does society seem to stomach murder more easily than sex? In my lifetime, I have seen more people murdered (on television, movies, etc.) than I have seen naked men/women. It is fairly evident that modern culture feels violence is less harmful to children (for example, how many times does Wile E Coyote get injured/killed?) than sex (how often does said coyote get laid?).
You know, I've often wondered about this as well. And thinking about it just now, I may have an answer of sorts. I think the difference between violence and nudity in movies is this: reality. Say an actor gets shot in the head and "dies". He then shows up later in another movie or TV appearance, none the worse for wear, so it's easy to explain to children that he is, in fact, not dead, and that the death in the movie was fake.
On the other hand, if an actor is butt naked in a movie, that's generally not fake, and a bit harder to explain away. Does that make any sense? I'm not saying I agree that violence is better than nekkidness ('coz it's not), I'm just trying to shed some possible light on the subject. I may also be 100% wrong.
I hadn't thought of the iPhone cannibalizing iPod sales. Seems as if they are forcing thier customers to pick on or the other: a lot of features (iPhone) or a lot of storage space (iPod). Perhaps if they offered a much larger capacity iPhone, they wouldn't have that problem. Of course, it'd be $1,000 or something...
FYI, you ARE allowed to own just about all of those items, provided you have paid the "tax" stamp, usually $200, and have secured the proper license, if needed.
My experience is very similar to yours. Especially recently, I have been to know what was going to happen next, and the really weird part was I KNEW when I had experienced it before (ie, 'Whoa, I did this last Thursday. I REMEMBER this!") The past several "episodes" have all been deja vu of something that happened within the past few weeks or days, and THAT really freaked me out.
As a nation you took one hell-of-a-beating from an army of kids in Vietnam. Despite overwhelming force and huge amounts of oil cash you're taking a severe kicking in Iraq.So winning every named battle in a conflict is "one hell-of-a-beating"? Interesting. Besides the obvious factual errors you are making, you seem to be a bit of a hipocrite as well. So we got "beat" by a bunch of vietnamese kids, but there's no way we could do the same to an invading force? Of course we're not living in a movie. But that does not mean that we cannot put up some form of defense. Oh, and I don't live "in the woods." I actually live in the suburbs in a FREE state (TX), where we are allowed to own firearms and are expected to know how to use them, if for no other reason that to avoid the ridicule of fellow "rednecks."
A lot of people seem to be overlooking a very important fact. IF the US did get invaded, a very large portion of our population is armed, to one degree or another. Sure, China has thier multi-million man army, but I personally possess better weapons than most of the chinese conscripts (or whatever they are) are likely to be equipped with, and I have a pretty small collection. There are very few other countries that can boast as well an armed populace as the US can. As Admiral Yamamoto said: "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."
Forgot to add: Just because taxes might (ok, probably will) be higher in the future, does not mean that my taxes haven't been cut. They have, for now. Saying they're not cut because they'll be higher later is some of the most ridiculous spin I've ever heard. Less taxes now means I can invest and/or save more for later, and at a higher than the government.
My taxes are lower. Every year since the cuts were passed my yearly taxes have been lower. In fact, my wife and I have both had to recalculate lower withholdings every year because of it. YMMV.

And there's still no 802.1X authentication. I grow weary of singing this song...
And there's STILL no 802.1X authentication. What the hell, guys?

Sounds like they need the $500 Dogbert (R) Mousepad extension upgrade! /Too obscure?

If memory serves, lie detectors aren't admissable in court (at least in the US). I could be wrong, though.

Oh, they're friggin' GLORIOUS. I've got one in 12g, one in 20g, and two in .308. Best freakin weapons for the money on Earth. I loves me some Saigas.

I got married five years ago. So I can't remember. I feel ya, dog! God, that makes me depressed...

Completely agree. It's like the old salt: "So, have you stopped beating your wife yet?" No way to answer it.
I'm intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Seriously, that was awesome! Wish I had mods points.
Just went there myself and it worked just fine. Perhaps you have a different problem?
