To me as a European it is baffling how much sh*t you Americans take from your government and never take action. Since G.W. one law or incident after another is passed against the interest of the population and the only thing people do is complain a bit on the internet.
Have you guys ever heard of the possibility of demonstration, strike and not voting for the dumbest b*tch around?
Sorry, that was emotional but that's how I feel when I read stuff like that. Now mod me to hell.
I just looked at the document and in there it states clearly that Megaupload is based in Hong Kong. How can a US court take down a business located in Hong Kong?
That's definitely NOT visible from todays announcements. The App Store for Mac is an extremely good idea, but it's entirely optional. There'll still be a lot of software distributed through "classic" channels, as the App Store will of course be closely guarded and most probably won't allow porn, pirate tools or anything else Apple deems unsuitable. Aside from those issues, a lot of companies will want to offer more licensing options than are possible through the App Store. However, it will be a great place for individuals to get their consumer-level apps from and it will take a lot of burden away from people who have to support them.
Conclusion: It's optional, not a lockdown for Mac OS.
Hmmm. I have to say that my social life started to happen when I came out. So maybe you should get gay.;) Seriously, I got real partners as well as fuck buddies since my coming out. I finally can say that I lead a social as well as a sex life. Coming out was the best thing that ever happened to me. Too bad that there aren't a lot of gay geeks out there.
In SOVIET RUSSIA, 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 censors you! I thought that people all around the world running Windows Vista get this key censored unless a Microsoft employee hits "allow" instead of "cancel".
Maybe what we really need to bring back is games that take up less than a megabyte of storage. They'd look really good and load really fast, but all you'd see is the hero's eyeball. ... but on the PS3 you could micro-buy another eyeball for just 59 cents or go for the "hero, ultimate edition" - fully dressed, including one weapon - for $ 3.99.
if the signal is strong enough , your computer may decide to use that one
That's totally true. I don't know the defaults for Windows, but a Mac will by default scan all wireless networks and if it can't find one in your 'favorites' list, it'll pop-up a dialog asking if you want to join wireless network X, where X is the strongest open one it can find.
I never joined an open wireless network from someone else, but that dialog makes you think it's really no deal to do so.
Well, I'm running OS X Tiger and using a Logitech 6 Button mouse (including the scroll wheel button).
Expose just rocks with it's functions mapped to mouse buttons.

My guess is the driver was too busy checking dependencies to actually look at the road ahead.
