Since we're on the topic of shameless plugs, Adium got the nod too. But they knew last week. Any reason why it took so long for this to be published? Also, is there any way of insuring that all the projects get a fair shake at volunteers? I mean, everyone's gonna see Mozilla and GNU and friends on the list and jump on it.
No school is going to pay for packet-sniffing enhancements to their LAN just to help the RIAA. Not to mention the fact that students would be really pissed, and could pressure the administration not to.
Universities aren't going to do this by themselves. They don't have the IT budget to spend on it. Even well-off schools (and I go to one of the most well-endowed) are more than capable of faking not having the needed money. I'm involved in a Living Wage campaign at UVA, and despite a $2-3 billion endowment, the President regularly claims he can't spare a few million to help full time workers in poverty. Imagine how easy a less well-off college would have it claiming to not have the money to afford to monitor its LAN.
Hey, it's a Slashdot cliché. I'm surprised I was first. It's a bit of a risk everytime someone uses a still-funny cliché. You always struggle with "But is it still funny?". I mean, at any time, that cliché could fall, and join the ranks of formerly funny clichés about Linux-running hot grits and old Korean beowulf clusters.
It's WebKit, and yes, that's possible. You can also replace the Finder if you want (I have, with Pathfinder), and the Dock, and probably anything else outside the kernel if you know what you're doing.
I meant try to compete for Apple's bundling. Apple's gonna go with the best price for a semi-competitive (MBP, iMac) or low-end (MacBook, Mac Mini) graphics card. If S3 could get that contract, ATI and NVIDIA would hardly notice, and S3 would like double or triple its business, giving it cash to innovate or catch-up.
Totally concur. Here's another example of this guy smoking stuff:
From the MOSR front page: In the process of researching recent reports from sources regarding Apple's "Gamer's Dream" Macs now in the late stages of development, we uncovered information suggesting that Apple is testing an alternate version of the Gamer's MacBook which would employ an nVIDIA nForce chipset and dual GeForce 7800GTX Mobile GPU's. Memory bandwidth would be slightly less than that offered by the existing Intel chipset in today's MacBook Pro's, but graphics performance would be even higher than the ATi X1800/X1900 based dual-GPU laptop design we've spoken about previously.
Not only does he have no sources, he doesn't have much of a clue about economics or design either. So he's a faker and not a very good one.
Dude, you just shelled out a few thousand dollars for his computer. You can install AmigaOS for all he's gonna care. That's why Apple didn't do registration for Panther or Tiger on PPC, because the real money was in the computer you bought in the first place.
If they made Mac video card drivers, people might be tempted, simply because there are so few Mac video cards out there. But I think the general sentiment has to be not to compete first in the Windows DirectX performance crown arena, but rather solidify niche markets to make money for R&D.
This incident happened in Feburary, when the guy got tricked into downloading something by thinking it was "Leopard" screenshots, and wound up with the trojan. All the trojan did was ask for a password to run some script in Terminal. Then a couple of other people downloaded it to work on it and rip it apart. This was on Apple Insider forums I think.
Basically, it's a 10-week-old non-story that's confused in its technical details
Can't I just hide it? I mean, when I download anything from the internet, I click to download, then hide the progress window. The experience was similar when I got OpenOffice and Ubuntu over BitTorrent. If I can just minimize/hide the app, who cares about an ad?
I disagree. I think the second season was just as good as the first. I think the reason people didn't jump all over Baltar is because for the first few months, they were just thrilled to have land under their feet. I think the reason the people were so riotous and edgy under Roslin is because they were cooped up in spaceships for months, having lost family and friends and fortune. Being busy rebuilding could channel a lot of that, and having a new home may have put everyone in a good mood, I guess. not great, but not unbelievable.
I actually read something in a magazine a few months ago, and basically the reason Sci-Fi does the monster of the week movies is because they're so low budget but still bring in advertising. They cost under a million dollars a piece to make, and they run them a few times and probably break even pretty fast. I guess that's basically the bread and butter of Sci-Fi, it's version of "reality TV".
Meh, I wasn't attacking you, I was really just going for an easy joke. You're totally right about Hollywood only picking attractive people to play teenage actors. I mean, they can get away with Olmos not being a stud because he's not the series' heart-throb (that honor belongs to Lee and Crashdown and Helo). Not that I don't think Olmos is awesome, because he's a good actor.
Of course Baltar is despotic. He doesn't handle people disagreeing with him well, especially people he considers below him. I mean, I feel like he spent the year doing every 18-25 year old girl he could get his hands on, and considered affairs of state annoyances.
Um, there's family drama like mad in BSG. Some key episodes SPOILERS AHEAD
Act of Contrition (Starbuck and Cmdr Adama about Zack) You Can't Go Home Again Kobol's Last Gleaming (the boxing match, and Lee's "betrayal") The Farm (Lee can't denounce his dad) Home (the Adamas coming to terms with each other)
I mean, between Lee and Commander Adama, there's huge tension (the boxing in KLG), and Starbuck and Commander Adama and Zack have that whole thing going. I mean, there's a lot of family-based drama in the original.

No, I wasn't one of the arrestees. Several of my friends were though.
They have the cash, they just don't want to spend it.

The whole company is frustrated/fearful of this whole situation, and we just want to keep our jobs
Well, I sure hope you all don't lose your RIM jobs.
I meant Mac users in general, not you specificially.

Yes, but when 5% of its customers start maxing out your bandwidth regularly on a home line, the ISPs are gonna say something, either to you or Apple.

Um, I'm gonna go with the perenially posted "OS 10.9.6 Liger" - Breed for its skills in stability and GUI magic.

Errr, you'll actually have to provide me with an IP address to do that.

No, I'm not the AC from above.
Mod Parent up.

you could also use non-journaled HFS, since there are drivers for that out for XP and will be some out for Vista sooner or later I assume.
Two modern day exceptions: I wouldn't kick Vin Diesel's dog, nor would I piss off Bas Rutten (who admittedly hasn't had many acting roles).
How about Chuck Norris?

When are they going to get to the firework factory?!
An Itchy and Scratchy reference? Ten million points* to you sir.
*Please note that these points are totally useless and non-redeemable for anything.
