Salling Clicker can do this if you have a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. I'm not sure if there's a built-in proximity alarm, but you can set AppleScripts to run when you go out of range or return.
Hmm, looks like there's finally a Windows version, too. It's always nice when the best software comes out for Macs first.
No, we're still evolving just as every living thing is evolving. The difference is that nowadays, our natural habitat includes hospitals, drugs, the built environment, and these are where our environmental pressures come from.
Nor are humans alone in creating our environment. Beavers build dams. Many wild animals self-medicate with herbs and saps. We haven't stopped evolving any more than have they.
Sculley, not Spindler, was the soda-pop CEO, and of Pepsi, not Coke. Spindler had nothing to do with Coke or Pepsi as far as I can recall. Also, maybe it's just me, but your anecdote doesn't seem to make any sense. Try again?
Yes, exactly what the parent said. I'm Japanese, and I was born Japanese and raised Japanese by Japanese parents. I just finished reading this entire discussion, and frankly, you people scare me.
Because running Windows on Apple hardware might be a gateway drug to running OS X on Apple hardware. The question is whether the existence of Boot Camp entices enough PC-type people to try OS X. It could be either a win or a loss for Microsoft, and I for one am withholding judgment.
Still not secure enough to be immune from running malicious code. Nothing can ever be that secure. How do you know, for example, that the latest update of NetNewsWire doesn't install spyware? You can't. You just have to trust, and this is usually good enough. Usually, but not always.
Even with yesterday's 10.4.6 update, there remains in AppKit a likely remote command execution exploit when viewing malformed JPEGs. See here, for example.(DO NOT CLICK THIS IN SAFARI!) This affects every OS X app other than those which happen to implement their own JPEG decoders (including, thankfully, Camino and company). So if you download the evil JPEG to your desktop, and you have previews turned on, it sends the Finder into a crash-relaunch loop. Assuming this bug allows arbitrary code execution, Pierre MacProgrammer could easily craft a JPEG, today, to spread like wildfire among Mac users--hey, we're a tight-knit community--by emailing itself via Mail.app.
Don't bury your head in the sand just because we Mac users are better than our PC brethren (snicker). Eventually, I think Apple's going to have to implement a whitelist/blacklist of sites in Safari, or something like that SiteAdvisor plugin does for FireFox.
The Economistagrees with you, for what it's worth: "This makes races pathetically predictable: 98% of congressmen are re-elected, a ratio Leonid Brezhnev might have admired (though even the Soviet fixer would surely have felt the 100% outcome for California's incumbents in 2004 was a tad too obvious). It also drives politicians to the extremes, as they court their real electors, party activists in the primaries."
It was Jefferson, IIRC, who envisioned the Senate as a moderate, intellectual, even patrician counterweight to the whims and passions of the House of Representatives. On the whole, it seems to be working--look at the various proposals coming from the two houses of Congress on the illegal immigration debate. All that talk about a 700-mile wall with Mexico, for example, is coming from the House, not the Senate.
BTW, technically speaking, the term "Congress" refers to both the House and the Senate, even though everyone knows what you mean anyway.
Well, we're actually more like a loyal 2.2 percent worldwide. But I agree with your point--without Mac support, this is doomed to failure. We are a trendsetting 2.2 percent.;-)

Let's see what the stats look like today.
