You need to crawl out of your parents basement and get a little sunshine. A little 411, a lot of companies dont accept cash. I have even dealt with some that didnt accept credit cards they strictly sold by invoice. There is no law that you have to accept cash. Stuff a bunch of money in an envelop for Newegg to get some computer equipment and see the reaction. I know of some stores that dont have a cash register. If you want to stick it to the man and buy a bunch of iPhones get yourself some Visa cash cards and go crazy. Theyre in the business to make money. Deal with it.
Actually Vista was a secret plan to increase the value of Apple stock he quietly bought several years ago. He's wringing his hands at the thought of all the money he's going to make off the next service pack, cue evil laugh.
Actually the Bush administration are a pack of ameteurs at this, Putin and his cronies are pros and have been doing it far longer. The big fear should be that Bush and his pack learn from Putin and turn pro.
This cuts to the heart of why I'd always questioned the viability of small scale fusion reactors. The sun is a wonderfully efficent fusion reactor because it uses it's mass to contain the reaction and keep it self perpetuating. I've yet to see any form of reactor show the same promise for generating energy. The best so far involves unselfsustained reactions. Break even is seen as the holly grail with each method but without a self sustained reaction it's a very big expensive money pit that produces no power. Unless there's another method of containing a reaction than massive amounts of gravity fusion is likely to remain a pipe dream. Incrementally better than break even isn't going to produce the vast amount of clean cheap power that fusion has promised since it was first proposed. For fusion to work, if it's even possible, is for a fundementally new approach and I've yet to hear of one being even proposed. Cold fusion would have avoided those problems but like all good snake oil it promised something for nothing. Fission is easy, fusion is hard. There's the outside chance of a eureka moment but I'm not holding my breath.
I was worried when I first saw it until I found that it was a 3rd party app causing the issue. The summary would lead me to believe it was a defect in Leopard. It would be nice to mention it's a 3rd party issue and not Apple's fault in the summary.
I thought taking money from corporate sources was okay, big oil, defense contractors, etc, it's taking money from average Americans that's illegal? If he's taking money from Doritos all that will happen is instead of former oil men running the EPA we'll get junk food reps running the FDA.
Yes and it's never been proven humans cause global warming and evolution is only a theory. You can be pro downloading without having to rationalize it. As downloading goes up sales go down. Some may use it to demo music but others use it to avoid paying.
Everyone is missing the point. I need to upgrade Photoshop, believe it or not I'm still using 6.0, but that's kind of the point. I get by fine on a six or eight year old version of Photoshop because it does what I need it to do. There are features I need in the newer versions so I will buy a copy soon. What this is really about is a constant revenue stream. It's getting harder and harder for them to add features so in ten years it's going to be tough to make a case why you should buy the new upgrade. Hardware changes will be the main reason but once again Photoshop isn't likely to need to be upgraded that often for that reason because in ten years hardware changes will slow. Companies want to continue to increase profits not see them fade. 3D animation software has a long was to go but image editing largely arrived years ago. The biggest improvements have been in things like Apeture. Photoshop has been a perfectly adequate application for most uses for at least ten years now. The last big must have upgrades for me were History and Layers. The rest is great to have but I'm painting textures all day and other than a lot more brush tools I don't need much. I'd love to see functions like Painter or Dogwaffle has for doing custom brushes but that's the biggest thing I can see. Adobe has resisted such things because they refuse to acknowledge that a large percentage of their uses paint not process photos. The two biggest things that they refuse to do is add animation support and more paint tools. In the old days people were trying to use Photoshop for compositing effects shots but Adobe flat out refused to add sequencial frame and animation support. Since then there are counts apps for doing it that have come out but back in the day Photoshop was the only app that had the potential for doing it. I dred the day they go on-line only and I'll tell you I'm not giving up my 6.0 disks for anything. I want to make sure I always have a useable version I can freely install. If they go strictly on-line I may seriously consider the switch to Gimp. I'm sure a lot feel that way which will probably force a two tiered model. high end users can buy a copy for X dollars or the regular users can get it for Y a month. Microsoft has claimed they were going to an on line model for years but they met with major resistance. I'll tell you the first time I couldn't work because my internet service was down I'd switch to Gimp. They are going to want to be very careful about pissing off users.
If they'd just block any e-mail with headings containing "penis" and "enlarge" half my spam would go away. I think I can survive loosing the odd e-mail a friend sent me about how he enlarged his penis.
I find it odd most of the comments like yours are complaints about Mac security. Isn't "insecure" kind of an oxymoron with Macs? If you want an overly complex OS check out a Vista machine. My PCs have constant security issues and my main machine is a trainwreck from all the damage done by malware and bots inspite of running constant checks. I've never done a single thing related to security with my Mac and I've yet to have a problem. The made thei system even more secure. Shouldn't they get a applauded not blasted? Just because people are fans of an OS doesn't make it secure. Amiga had one of the most devoted fan bases ever and was arguably one of the least secure. Windows seems to be moving in the direction of locking the OS to the point where software won't run. Mac has managed to make their machines secure without such draconian measures. Shouldn't this earn them geek points not have rocks thrown at them all the time?
It's being developed for people that live near Chernobyl. Kind of like the X Ray film that you just have to stand next to for five minutes and the lead lined shorts that are a fashionable item in Kiev.
I'm against corn subsidies but why is the solution to all the third world problems the gutting of US industries? The point is the Euro is stronger so why doesn't some one ever mention Europe opening up more to foreign markets? The US has exported a large percentage of it's industrial production and it's importing more food from foreign countries than ever before. The US produces more food than any other country in the world and generally countries want more food exports from the US not the other way around. The irony is if the US increased food imports from third world countries the complaint would be we were buying food that the country of origin needed. I've already heard this complaint about some crops. It's a no win argument but the US is an easy target and saying the US could do more doesn't get the rest of the first world off the hook. Most of the first world has subsidies. That was actually the biggest sticking point to creating the European Union was all the pet subsidies each country had.
So I take it you were hoping for a lot of low budget knocks offs by producers like Corman and Charlie Band? "Bilbo VS Dollman" or "Puppetmaster 12, Gandalf's revenge"?
It's illegal to rebroadcast the music so if some one was talking on their cell phone and the person at the other end could hear the music then sue the ass off the person with the cell phone. You get the added benefit of penalizing some one for yakking on a cell phone and annoying everyone in the place.

The problem they ran into was translating "Not Allowed" into all those third world languages.
Aren't there more Democrats than that in this country?
Don't all the bad movies lately cause enough pain without the transmition medium causing even more?

when its at least in beta.

The really sad thing was it they didn't discover it in the 70s. A self powered neon toupe would have been huge among the middle aged disco fans.

Actually it was. Bill Gates was trying to go there to personally pick up his 10 mill for helping some one transfer money out of the country.
I just want one shot where the alien says one of their crew is going to die, so the whole whole crew turns to the one black guy on the bridge.
Actually what we need is a flyswatter for our robotic insectile overlords.
Yes but if you took them all you could end the argument. I vote ship two we load up with middle management types and phone sanitizers.
So I take it you were hoping for a lot of low budget knocks offs by producers like Corman and Charlie Band? "Bilbo VS Dollman" or "Puppetmaster 12, Gandalf's revenge"?
That would explain him getting the hair implants on his feet.

Great, Crows using tools! Now they have an even cheaper source of labor to outsource American jobs to.
