I have to admit, regarding development, if I had to consider the cost of development tools in with the cost of the machine, Apple might just squeak by as being lower in total cost. MS charges waaaayyy to fucking much for their tools!
Which is interesting, I'm currently in a startup phase of an endeavor and that may be something to consider. So far though, I've been concentrating on OSS solutions and with Apples BSD base and GUI, this may be an option....Hmmmmm...
A lot of folks buy the Apples because they also look good. Most PC's look shitty; even the black ones.
Jobs, the brilliant marketer that he is, realizes that computers are appliances and accessories.
To be honest, OS X doesn't impress me - as a user. If I were in an artistic field, maybe my opinion would be different, but I can't see any reason to pay the Apple tax either.
My computers are tools. I make my purchasing decision just as if I were buying a cordless drill or something. Except with computers, I keep in mind that the technology will be obsolete in a year.
The first virus I ever got was on one of the original Mac models - the little ones with the 9" screen. It was kind of cool actually. You put your floppy in to save a documnt - MS Word in my case, and it would transfer onto the floppy. And then, when you go to use another Mac, it spread to that one. No need for the Internet.
Parent: I wonder if anyone who even consider consuming poisons like alcohol if pot were cheap and legal (if legal, it would cheaper than most crops to produce per acre).
I whole heartedly agree! It's a perfect example how idiotic the drug laws are here in the US of A. A horrible addictive neurotoxin like alcohol is easily available and legal, and yet, something as benign as pot will get you years in jail and your property seized.
Politicians are retards and do not deserve or have they earned my respect!
Pot is bad for your health if you smoke it. Like anything else the smoke inhalation has its consequences. Brownies baby!
any asshole could have just tasted it and known it was just flour! You don't need a drug test. That's absolutely NO excuse to blame that poor girl's troubles on a "faulty drug test". Now who's the stupid one?
answering an AC who's long gone because I'm very passionate about this topic.
AC SaidIf I am taking a flight from somewhere, and some screeners find cocaine in a bag of a fellow passenger, I would hope that they raise a red flag.
The drug laws are stupid. One of the most toxic substances is completely legal (Alcohol) and yet, something as benign as pot will get you sent away for years.
And let make this point: How would a drug jeoperdise your safety? I don't give a shit if a drug smuggler is on the plane because he is of no harm. If you want to give up your liberty for some reason or laws that are made by ignorant people - go ahead. I refuse!
How does this have anything to do with the do not fly list..
It's a perfect example of the slippery slope and how these laws do nothing but take our civil liberties away and give power to the corrupt and incompetent. The TSA was supposed to screen for potential threats to airplane and passenger safety, NOT catch drug dealers. Soon, they'll be looking for deadbeat dads, or maybe, if you're behind on your credit card payments, they'll look for you!
Also, the cops "tested" what was in the condoms and said that it showed that the contents were illegal drugs. Subsequently, when tested by the DEA, it came back as flour. My point: The cops either lied or are incompetent.They should be fired and arrested themselves.
Why is it wrong for our government to be able to know which of us to protect and who to protect us from?
You're absolutely right! And when I'm elected, you'll be the first on the list of people that we need protection from. Why? Because I didn't like what you said.
See, it's that simple. You'd be an enemy of the state under my regime.
You know, I have Arab friends and acquaintances, but everytime I email them or whatever, I'm concerned about whose looking. Maybe I'm paranoid, but when innocent people are arrested for carying nothing but flour, I have to wonder.
FTFA:.... the Real ID Act creates a set of uniform standards for state-issued ID cards, and mandates the construction of a centralized national identification database that will contain the personal information of every citizen in America.
It's a national ID card in all but name. It's a national Id card that's issued by the States instead of the Federal Government. And considering all of the junk, faulty data, lies, etc... in all of those databases, it's going to fail. Which I like that idea. Unfortunately, some innocent people are going to get iconvenienced and I'm sure jailed. Disagree with me? Just look at what's happening with the DO NOT FLY LIST. This poor fucking girl!
Economic pressure is the ONLY thing the music business will understand. Trying to solve the problem with legislation will be a very long process and you'll be fighting people with much more money and influence.
The 3-4-5 rule for getting the grout lines square to the reference wall. Measure 3' along the outside wall, mark a small line 4' perpendicalur to that line, then from the end of the 3' measure 5' until it intersects with the 4' mark. Now you have a right angle for laying out you tile.
It's funny, but I've used more math (especially geometry) doing home improvement projects than I ever did programming computers. Granted, I've never did any intense graphics programming, but a little bit of UI type of stuff.
You know the: base line going ->da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-da-da-da-da-da - high pitched melody going whooowooooweeeee. Thinking aobut it makes my hair stand on end.
When I was growing up, I wanted to be just like Steve J. He created an industry with Wozniak all by themselves. Yeah, there was the Altair, but it was the Apple gang who made an industry and a mass market for the things.
I still have this fascination for the man to this day, probably because he has this image as someone who does it his way, breaks the rules, and makes a shit load of money doing it.
FTFA: There are no "Intel Inside" logos on the new Macs, save for marks on the outer packaging for which Apple isn't being paid. A slick, new TV ad will promote the new Apple-Intel collaboration. But if Apple is leaving money on the table, wouldn't shareholders want some pointed questions asked about that?
It's all about branding my boy! Branding! Also, it leaves room for Apple to put AMD chips or anything else they want. They still can do that with the label on, you say. Ah, Apple is Apple. That's the only brand that Jobs wants you to see. And, I think there may be a time in the future where the end consumer will not know what the CPU is. It could be anything. Who cares? You're buying an Apple and that's all that matters. Do you care what the chips are in your monitor, TV, iPod, or your router? I don't. As long as I get something that works.
I never EVER am alone with them. It isn't because I can't be trusted, it is so they don't lie.
That's why I refuse to become a teacher. It's sad that in this society, if a guy wants to teach kids, he's automatically looked at with suspicion.
When I was looking into teaching, the application process is so intrusive that I just said "fuck it!", I don't want anyone poking around in my life like that. It's easier to get a permit to carry a gun! And getting that is pretty hard; even here in good'ol buy GA!
The sad thing is most likely a kid will be mollested by his drunk uncle or dad.
FTFA: Officials representing several trade groups said the laws create unfair financial burdens and logistical challenges for legitimate marketers, and fear the burdens could rise if more states adopt them
I'm always against legislatures sticking their noses in places where they have no knowledge just to pass some knee-jerk legislation, but I have to wonder, a legitmiate marketer would have an opt-in list. Therefore, there wouldn't be any problem if this law was passed.
On another note, most of the spam I receive is of the v1a*gr*4 type: no porn or alcohol.
FYI, Adblock will block the article - in case any of you can't see it.
FTFA [bold was done by me]"There's a pendulum thing where stuff is on the client side and then goes back into the network where it belongs," McNealy said. "The answering machine put voicemail by the desk, and then it went back into the network."
Apple was founded on being a personal computer maker. It was founded to put control of the machines into the users hands. Yes, networked computers aren't mainframes, but McNealy seems to have thes attitude that computing should be centrally controlled or stored.
Click on the "Properties", Click on the "Outgoing Server", Click on "Add". There you can add the SMTP server you want.
Then to associate the server you want for a particular account. Go into that account's main Account Settings page and you'll see a dropdown listbox that will have the SMTP server you just added.

It's working a bit different from 1.0.7.
