Nice assumptions, you jackass. My father has the SL 600, which I drove for him, and have driven many times, from our vacation home and he drove with my mother to keep her company. Didn't expect I'd have to try and prove anything because it's really not a big deal, apparently it is a big deal.
My sister is a lawyer at Google and bought the Porsche and my other sister owns one as well. I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which I love, but handles like a sedan.
Yes, you can feel the power when you step on the throttle with either of these cars, it's exhilarating, and they handle like a dream. I can't imagine someone getting scared unless they're pansy boy which you clearly stated. At high speeds, the mini sways in turns and that will put fear into you. If we were talking about a real racecar and not a consumer version, then maybe what you said would hold true, but I have never driven a "real" racecar, just some fancy street models. I just laugh at the fact that you can't imagine someone actually drives these types of cars.
I have project Gotham Raching. Silly game. Actually most car racing games seem to be far from realistic from a driving point of view. I've driven some pretty fancy cars, SL 600, Porsche Turbo S, Ferrari etc and I've always been blown away with the speed and "handling." I drove an SL 600 from Lake Tahoe to the Bay Area last summer. On the way there's the well know 45 MPH curve with flashing lights. I cruised around that at 90MPH without any problems. The car stuck to the pavement. Every time I drive one of those car games, the high performance cars are so hard to control, you slide everywhere. That's total bullshit. It's the crappy mini that should be hard to control, not the Porsche GT2. It's total crap.
Project Gotham Racing has a retarded multiplayer mode as well. It's only fun when you unlock all the cars. Perhaps I haven't figure it out yet, but I can't seem to get multiplayer with machine cars too. Like other people, I play once in a while and I'm not a gamer, but I expect a more realistic experience.
but they're using a lot of "quality" parts. Sure you can go cheaper or you can use an old PC if you have one lying around. Keep in mind that you need a powerful PC is your going to work with HD content and that's what they're account for.
A good option if you're going the MythTV route and have the budget and time is to use a 1.5 to 2 Ghz machine as a backend server and a 1GHZ via board as a front end server. You can then have a box in each room and rip/burn from any room. Keep in mind you'll need mutliple tuner cards if you want to record more than one show at a time. A benefit of MythTV is being able to rip DVD's and music etc and watch them in any room at any time. However in the end you'll spend a bit more, but have a lot more flexibilty as well.
No, no. That's the entire point of DRM. Piracy is a straw man. What person, having bought an iPod, and collected some music tracks, is going to say, screw it, I'm throwing away this investment, and going with some other service? No, they want to be able to access their whole collection on whatever device they have. That means they stay with an iPod, and with iTunes. It's classic Microsoftian tactics. DRM keeps people locked in APPLE'S DRM-ed vertical stack. That's EVERYONE'S strategy with DRM.
Yes! I've seen the light in buying from a non DRM'd site, BeatPort. Yes, it's a specific genre, but that's not a bad thing since that's what I'm looking for. I'm paying 50 cents to $1.50 more per track, but I'm also getting higher bit rate and no restrictions. Sure I could search file sharing networks for these songs, but this is fast and legal. Another plus is that that sampling of the music is much longer than Apples 30 seconds. I keep buying the wrong remix on songs or get disappointed with Apples service.
The cell would require a lot of rewritting of applications and you'd get even less ports from PC software vendors. So while you may see some great numbers, you'd see less applications and eventually less users.
That is exactly the problem. It may be personal to you, but it isn't personal at all. Indiscriminate isn't good enough, because they still feel that through actions they take like not doing online banking or what not they are somehow less attractive of a target.
What is exactly the problem?
I'll say it two ways.
Anything malicious done to person is personal to them. However, the hacker or thief isn't attacking a person for personal reasons, they're doing it indiscriminately for notoriety or gain.
A personal attack on someone is done indiscriminately by hackers, but it is personally felt by the individual, so it's personal in one sense and not in another. But no one is discriminated from an attack, everyone is attacked if possible, so it's indiscriminate.
That's true, but take into account that most savvy users or "geeks" do in naturally, like riding a bike. You can just figure it out and when you have to use a manual extensively, it must be a poorly laid-out application.
Too many newbies jump onboard without learning the basics. They need a very elementary explanation of how things work and then progress from there. It's hard to explain those concepts when it's natural to you. Even people I work with think they are savvy, but they really have no grasp on how things work. You have to take them back to step one and that's the how the underpinnings work.
Just speak to the cold caller in a whisper. Continue this way until you think he's turned up the volume on his headset to a rather loud level. Then take your air horn and let'em have it.
Ok.. So I'm a little evil.

I've never seen so many people bag on a web scripting language. Perhaps there should be a whole discussion board dedicated to your web language of choice whether is Pearl, JSP/JAVA, PHP. ASP,.NET or ColdFusion.
I've heard great things and bad things about all of them. Pearl is hard to learn, but is super fast and secure. Java is super slow and hard to learn, but very secure. PHP is easy to learn moderately fast, but insecure. ASP is fast, but is being replaced by.NET..Net is fast and easy, but you're stuck with Microsoft and it can be very browser specfic. ColdFusion is slow, but super easy.
Do you choose your language because that's what feeds you or do you choose it because you believe it's the best technology?
I see Fireworks being merged into a product like Illustrator instead of PhotoShop. Illustrator is a PITA to get your head around where Frieworks isn't. IMO Fireworks is geared towards illustrations, and PhotoShop remains king of Photo editing. Adding Fireworks to Illustrator would add huge value to Illustrator and minimal value to PhotoShop. Sure there would be some overlap, but then they both might become must have applications in multimedia. I think of all the products that need help in Adobe's line, Illustrator and GoLive are two big ones. LiveMotion doesn't count because it's been shelved.
It puts into question his thinking and lack of business creativity. William L. Smith should be fire for making what most people think is an ugly company look uglier.
He must not be a product guy, but someone that made it up there through the finance department, they always come up with the "greedy bastard jackass" ideas.
OS X Server edition with OS X clients would be an excellent path to take. You be able to work with your existing envrionment and easily manage thenew one as it grows. You can network install applications and os updates without the need to create images. You can manage all your workgroups easily.
You'll still be able to run MS Office and Entarage (as opposed to outlook) if that' what you run. You'll be able to switch to OpenOffice and other solutions as well and you can manage all this from the server. It's GUI based managment, so it'll pretty easy, though I'm sure other *nix users will tell you Linux is easier because of the command line. You have that too.
You should read a little about it.. it's a fantastic server and client solution. http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/
to Ubuntu and they're happy. They're happy that they don't have to deal with annoying updates of several spyware programs, just to keep their windows box working smoothly. They're happy because they don't have to have their system firewall popping up and telling them that such and such is trying to access the internet. They're happy because they don't have to deal with scanning for viruses a few times a week. They're happy because of the stability it has and it contains all the basics, which is all they use. This may seem like trivial reasons, but they make a big different for people that don't want to deal with anything, complete opposite of slashdot users.
I can't use Linux full time because it doesn't have Ableton Live and all the music software plug-ins I need. It's also not PhotoShop, Illustrator, and Indesign friendly. I know it has some alternatives, but not a complete solution. The day it does, I'll jump on the bandwagon; until then, I'm sticking with OS X.

It may not be personal to you, but it sure is hell personal to me when someone tries to hack into my machine. Perhaps a better word is indiscriminate.
On that note, you can help them out by explaining firewalls and IDS. The good and bad of turning off port 113 etc etc etc.
