it's called Backup and is very flexible and easy: 1. select files (either by type, location or presets such as application prefernces) 2. select backup location (internet drive, local drive, external drive, ipod etc.) 3. select schedule if desired I have it backup small files (work files, preferences etc.) to my internet drive and larger files to my ipod.
okay, so with ad-hoc, you only connect to ad-hoc with auto-share printer and files and need to turn it OFF when you don't want to share them, which in my experience is the majority of the time. anyway, since when is saving about 3 clicks to manually turn on sharing a reason to upgrade an OS?
no, in windows "backup" i.e. "system restore" is for when your registry or drivers fuck up.
the Windows ad-hoc thing will either bee off by default in which case it's just as usable as any other sharing method, or on by default in which case there WILL be exploits. lots of them.
btw, are you actually suggesting that being about to turn services on and off on the Mac is somehow a bad thing?

you must receive an email with the attachment, unzip the attachment, open a file with an icon made to look like an image, type in the admin password, not think why looking at an image needs admin priviledges, and press ok.
it's the same way that MS's OS is always officially refered to as "Microsoft Windows XP [Home|Professional]". it doesn't imply we'll ever get "Mac Windows XP Professional".
you use actual scientific techniques and apply critical thinking as opposed to a basic 4-step procedure told to little children to make things easier for them.
>Most of the best programmes are from the U.S. or on the advert-supported channels. I'm more than happy to watch/ignore adverts every 12 minutes.
fuck off to the US then. I don't want adverts and I love the BBC as-is.
adverts aren't just things you can ignore every 10 minutes. if the BBC gave up on the principle of no-adverts then there'd also be product placements and Fox-style content-less newsvertisements.
from a journalistic integrity point of view, the fact that the BBC has no financial interests makes it the greatest news source in the world. fact.
>it would depend on how you define 'tuner' or 'receiver'.
if you're receiving BBC programmes at your own residence then you have a receiver.
jeez... the BBC produces the best content, news and has the fairest usage terms of any media organisation EVER. why are people (not necessarily OP) so determined to bitch about ~£120 a-freaking-year?
>if they wanted to use it they would have used it for the PS2
not necessarily, since that machine had no network access hence no way to keep tracks of people. and DRM that has no upgrade or remote control options can only hope to work by disallowing ALL use.
>Additionally, what aspect of this 3d viewing device makes a camera capture video "underneath cars" and crap like that.
yeah, it's like the moment in Enemy of the State where the government types woth their fancy computers are able to take the CCTV footage of someone and rotate the image to look from the other side.
Mac rumours is talking about Apple patent applications for multipoint touchscreen control, prompting speculation (based on clear diagrams) that a video ipod will be all screen with a virtual clickwheel (more reasonable than the tablet application at this point in time).
my reason for using firefox was adblock, but now I have safariblock so use safari.
the thing that made me delete firefox was realising how it managed passwords. as far as I can tell you have 2 options: 1. you passwords are free for everyone to see by looking in the preferences (secured only by a "are you sure?" box), or 2. you must enter a master password every time you start a new session.
this is absolutely insane. I guess it's because firefox isn't OS-integrated so can't use OS-protection such as Keychain to keep passwords safe.
the scary part is that some of them do believe in global warming but don't care - Jesus is about to turn up any day now and take them to Heaven, so who cares about the future of this planet?
this is what Bush means by "faith-based policies" as opposed to those heretic "evidence-based policies" of atheist scientists. if you're worried about global warming, peak oil etc. then you don't have enough belief in Jesus Christ Our Lord And Saviour.

the slippery slope isn't an argument, it's a fallacy.

if it's not "Action News", it's not worth my time.
"Action News"!? I thought that was a Simpsons joke.

I just switched.

>It always annoys me when people use duplicate unnecessary redundant superfluous words in their sentences.
you got it easy pal - it annoys, irritates, vexes, angers, antagonizes and gets on my nerves.
>now have the video iPod
no, we have an iPod with video. there's a difference.
no, oxidation is the loss of electrons. oxygen can be involved in this but is by no means necessary or implied.
>Additionally, what aspect of this 3d viewing device makes a camera capture video "underneath cars" and crap like that.

>Third, a patent is a way of saying you had it first, but there are other ways.
yeah my favourite, but the least well known way, is to actually release the fucking product.
not unless you want to carry the nano-USB cord around with you 24/7.
your "screen" shows all of about 20 characters.
you have to buy batteries (and very often with only 18 hours of life).
your zen is shorter but much thicker and wider, and it's heavier too, and doesn't have a lanyard.
I'm sure you have lots of fun recording voice memos though... mostly about having to buy a new battery soon?
but keeping it also makes sense:
I got the 512MB shuffle because even that amount of memory is more than enough for its use (gym playlist etc.) and is very cheap.
Also, the shuffle has USB-drive functionality.
Also, the shuffle comes with a lanyard as standard.
so, very roughly, what's the cost of 1GB nano + nano lanyard + USB drive vs. 512MB shuffle ?
I'd stick with the shuffle, but then I also have 60GB 5G so YMMV.
