The proof of concept also runs from the OmniWeb 5 Beta and Internet Explorer 5.2.
It could also run from FireFox although because FireFox checks to see if you really want to download an executable, help tries to run the script before it's actually there.
It fails in Opera with the error "The address type is unknown or unsupported."
My dad the welder taught me not to let family take advantage. If you do something for a living it means you bill for your time. You might have a 'family rate' but you still bill. He does make exceptions but in general he has a an hourly rate he charges for welding. He has also paid me for any tech work I've done for him.
OmniWeb allows this in a site by site basis rather than across the board. So I can tell it to treat Slashdot cookies normally but trash Amazon ones after every session.
It's the one thing that could drag me back to OW but I also like my Safari tabs.
Microsoft did not give up the revenue stream of hardware, they never had it. Apple's difficulty here is do they try to maintain the hardware revenue stream if they port to Intel or do they drop it entirely. The latter option may be the only one that they could make money on but would mean a massive change in the business model of the company.
The reality for Apple is that they are making a profit with their current business model so why change?
All (or nearly all) published books are a collaboration between the author, the author's friends (people the author hands draft texts to), and the editors at the author's publisher. I would bet any writer would tell you that their work benefits from outside input.
I know this is not exactly what you meant but it is an often missed point that name on the front of the book is just the primary instigator and not necessarily the sole person responsible.
I know about applying changes through the dock and I find I prefer Synergy. I do use it for more than just ratings, Synergy has hotkeys for almost every aspect of iTunes. I can adjust volume, skip tracks, popup track information, etc. in a fraction of the time it would take to go to the dock or bring up iTunes manually, and the action doesn't really interrupt my workflow.
Just to be the exception, I use the iTunes rating system extensively. When I have time I rate the songs as they are ripped otherwise I have a smart playlist that return only unrated songs. I also have playlists that return only songs rated 5, only songs rated over 4, only Blues songs over 4, etc.. When I'm listening to a particular mix if I feel the rating of a song needs to be adjusted I adjust it on the spot.
The key to all this is an app called Synergy that allows me to map hotkeys for rating the currently playing songs, among other things. The ratings are applied as I listen and require no extra time on my part to apply.
I think this would be the key to any metadata system: it has to be fairly transparent and has to be useful. I like listening to mixes and I've utilized the metadata in iTunes to facilitate that.
Coke and Pepsi already give money to schools to put in only their product. Aside from the questions of health, do we cry out the these children's minds have been warped in the decision of who to favor in the cola wars? No.
Speaking as a parent my answer to your question is yes, I will fight product placement and advertising in the schools my children attend. That will include exclusive tech deals with Microsoft, Apple, or any other company.
I feel strongly enough about exposing my children to diversity of tech that I will likely purchase Windows and Linux machines to go alongside my current collection of Macs for them to learn on. A school that is built from the ground up with a Microsoft appointed project manager would not be acceptable to me for my children.
Why Applescript? Because sometimes you are scripting things that are platform specific.
For example I just finished up part of a Filemaker solution that uses PDF Services in OS X and Applescript to generate, name, and move to a destination folder PDFs from Filemaker records. Picking up the necessary Applescript knowledge to do this took extremely little time compared to what it would have taken me to learn PERL, for example.
No troll or flame here, but isn't it about time that Apple offered a Mac for less than $1000 that isn't completely ancient (ie, no 600 MHz iMac please).
How about an eMac, for $999 you get a 1 GHz G4, 17" monitor, combo drive, 60 GB HD...
One reason this update is very important is that there is no manual eject on the combo drives. If a disk won't eject you have to send it in for servicing. This would be extremely bad in the case of an Xserve.
Also look at prepackaged software. Its all Windows based. Peoplesoft, great plains accounting, autocad, etc.
It should be noted that Great Plains was cross-platform (running on Macs and Windows) until Microsoft bought them and killed the Mac version. The only Windows machines in our entire office are the Finance Dept's because of this.
Remember that to make a fair comparison you need to add Health Insurance to the American tax rate. In Canada health care insurance is rolled into our taxes.
I've seen one disabled. It was in a head on car crash at highway speeds. The whole frame of the Tibook was twisted into a funky curve. I believe HD was recovered. Both people in car survived after long stays in the hospital.
Or is he suggesting that everyone should always make a copy of a document before editing it, just in case? Wouldn't THAT seem terrible unintuitive?
Any document based program should automatically save and track changes. The current system leaves me having to save multiple copies of documents if I want to go back. I should be able to rewind the document through it's creation. Given current processing power and storage capacities there is no technical reason not to have these systems.
For our operation this would be the case as well. We have extensive Mac experience and are gaining our Unix experience through OS X. We will not be running a high load site, thus we will be running OS X Server rather than another Unix variant because OS X is what we know the cost in our time greatly exceeds the hardware costs.
I use Launchbar on OS X and it gives me this functionality plus, without having to have everything on my desktop.
It indexes the contents of my drive including browser bookmarks, email addresses, preference panels, Watson tools, and documents. I can hit a hotkey, type the first few letters of what I'm looking for and am given a list of all the possible matches. I can then select the one I want. It remembers what my selections have been so the next time those selections are at the top of the list.
It can also function as an app switcher and a temporary shelf for moving files. As well I can drag documents to the selected app on the shelf to launch them with that app.
First shareware app I bought with an hour of using it.
I don't think Apple would outright fail if they phased hardware sales out and became predominantly software.
I don't think they would either. What "Apple is a hardware company" means to me is that they have no interest in becoming a software company. They are a profitable, successful hardware company, why change that?
Thus illustrating what I don't like about...

Criticism of another successful strip strikes me as crass. Whether he finds UF funny or not is irrelevant, lots of people apparently find it funny enough to make it a success.
There are lots of popular things I never got (like The Matrix) but I don't hold that against anyone.
I can't speak for the Windows client but on the Mac (OS 9 or less) when the user shuts the computer down the Retrospect client steps in after the apps have been closed but before the system shuts down. It stops the shutdown process and presents a dialog allowing the user to continue the shutdown or restart. If the user chooses neither the computer waits until the server backs it up and then shuts the machine down.
In my experience since Windows and Mac require you to properly shut down and not just turn the power off and all Macs and new Wintel machines power off at the end of the OS shut down, most users never touch the power switch.
This allows you to schedule backups for the times when nobodies using the machines. You can also have Retrospect watch for machines to appear on the network or you manually force a backup at any time.
At our shop we check the server logs every morning and watch for machines that haven't been backed up and take proactive measures when necessary.
Retrospect is about as good as gets, AFAIC. Always, of course, YMMV.:)
Actually, I'd use an applescript or a utility such as A Better Finder Rename. The lack of a command line does not mean the lack of scripting tools for repetitive tasks.

OmniWeb for MacOS X has a start on this. You can disable popups completely or only allow them onClick. I'd like more granularity like the ability to selectively block certain functions.
OmniWeb also has the option to block images if they are standard banner sizes or images from offsite.
The killer part of OmniWeb is the level of control over cookies. By site you can: Accept, keep at end of session; Accept, discard when quitting; Reject; or you can prompt for each cookie. You can also set the default action for cookies to any of the above.

Slashdot Mirror
I think you're thinking of copyright and as far as I know a simple improvement to a design does not allow qualify for a new patent.

Those are all the browsers I have to check on.
