To start,let's drop all of this antiquated technology that we've been using since day one to make computers!
Let's start with some sort of quantum based processing power,such as a self contained miniature black hole for emulating time travel replacing the memory cache and system bus,so that everything the CPU has do do is already done by the time the instruction is sent.

Did you read the article? I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about what he's going on about delaying the release so that they don't have a couple months of reduced sales - which puts the arrival in 2004. I know its not available now, I'm just hoping they make them available as soon as they can and don't hold them back.

This is the coolest thing... pretty much ever! I was waiting for version 1.6 before trying it, and it's great. I'd buy it if it wasn't free.
It's like having my physical CD collection handy again instead of in storage. Believe it or not, I can see this pushing some Windows-using music-lovers I know into making the switch. It's one of those silly cool things you just have to have when you see it.
Did you notice how good the 3D is? Anti-aliased, and the printing is actually UNDER a thick clear layer of plastic! Look at the edges as it spins. Superbly done.
And it's really cool on TV! Drag the size to the biggest possible: even poor-quality album art will look nice. For the back cover, try Medium Blur and Zoom--it makes the back look different from the front, but still "match."
I'm glad I obtained all my album art for my ripped CDs :) I used Clutter to do it.
Some tips/shortcuts:
* If you choose to hide the JewelCase menu, you can get to it by ctrl-clicking in non-fullscreen mode. Or click the Options button for most of the same settings in a window.
* Hold ctrl and move the mouse side-to-side to change the size (no need to hold the mouse button).
* Right-click to pause the spin.
* Double-left-click to view the CD straight on, and again to toggle to the back.
* Left drag (even if pointer is hidden) to change spin speed/direction.
* While the CD is straight on (even in mid-spin if you're quick), SHIFT-drag the top or bottom edge to make the CD spin vertically. You'll see the CD even has detail on the top and bottom.

Does it look good enough for games/video/etc.?
It looks great! As good as your TV allows! But TVs are NOT as good as computer displays.. they're just big, which can be fun. Everything is blurry on a TV--just like TV shows are--and for games, if you can increase the font size and run 640x480, that softness actually is a very slick and console-like look. You can get away with turning detail levels down for speed, and never even notice a difference on TV. But don't expect to view small text and details on a TV.
And Mac OS X System Preferences has some very cool options for controlling the picture on the TV. You can expand the image to extend just off the edges with no black border (good for movies) and you can toggle a "Best for Video" mode which I always turn on. You can even set a different color profile, resolution, and desktop picture used JUST for TV! When you plug into TV and choose Detect Displays from the menu icon (or just sleep and wake), your desktop changes automatically. Very slick.
EDIT: I see you have a PowerBook. That has TV-out built-in. Plug it in and try it--the Mini should look the same. (S-video is better than composite if you have the choice.)

What would a advance civilization have to gain by contacting man? a species that just climbed out of the cave and kills each other and wars with itself over religion & the earths resources every single day. Plus why would ET use slow radio waves? makes no sense at all plus there is all kinds of proof that the pentagon is hiding its knowledge of ET from our own govt and its people. We are "suppose " to think that we are the center of the universe. The govt wants it that way.

Yep, do you guys have a campus store? If they sell macs there, you might see your campus rep sitting outside of the campus store with a table setup with their equipment and a black tablecloth with a white apple logo on it
Hell, we dont even have a campus store where i go and i see the kid at a table all over campus. did you guys get ipod magnets? ours was handing them out

well, i know of some (i'm not one), but from what i remember them saying at one point is that the "contract" you sign with apple forbids you from these types of sites. i may be wrong here, but i remember hearing that from a friend- meaning that they might not respond.

Being bad news for the recording industry, this is also of course bad for iTunes. More importantly, it is really bad for people who actually *enjoy* listening to music and are able to pay for that music.
Negative votes all around. Obviously, there's a way around any DRM (if you can hear it you can record it). Obviously, rental programs like this make the way around the DRM from a personal "why would I do that" game to a high-stakes, "get my entire music library containing every song I've ever heard and a few I hope I never hear again for $10" game.
While it does make for bad PR, I don't believe it is universally bad for everyone. In fact I think it will definitely benefit Apple in the end.
What is required for online music is not an unpenetrable DRM scheme, it's simply for purchased online music to be no easier to rip off than regular CD's. You can get around Apple's DRM, but if I'm going to steal music I'd rather download a 256 kbps VBR that someone ripped from a CD. Or just borrow and copy said CD from a friend. DRM-free music is all over the place, 99.9% of which did not come from cracking iTunes DRM.
This Napster thing is much different, as it potentially enables much faster theft of a lot of music. Like I said, in the next few days someone will put together a simple program (a simple script actually) to automate this WinAmp endaround, including automatically re-encoding to say mp3, and copying over ID tag data. Let you computer run overnight to continuously churn out the tunes, and in a few days you have gigabytes of free music. (the only thing I'm not sure of is if the current workaround requires playing the DRM music at 1x. If so, surely there will be a way of cranking out WAV files at 10X or faster...) Keep in mind this is BEFORE the actual DRM has been cracked (and it inevitably will.)
Once this happens, it will give Napster a big black eye in the eyes of the record company. Who will win? It will be Apple, who really thought through the entire digitial music process starting a few years back, has a very popular service, and has a DRM system that is certiainly no easier to bypass than just copying regular CD's or downloading P2P. The record companies want safety and stability, and this problem with Napster will make them even more likely to be pro-Apple/iTunes.

I've only played it a little but it didn't seem that bad. Maybe you're at the typical beginning of the RPG (you know, how just about EVERY RPG starts slow with you at a low level with few attacks so you just keep hitting attack and it's boring?).
A friend of mine insists it is the best game ever and calls it the best GameCube game. I'll have to show him this thread.
I assume you've played Metroid Prime 1 first right?

I wonder if anyone knows of a good app to use with my UMAX scanner that runs under OS X 10.3.
I get tired of rebooting from OS X to OS 9 just to use my scanner! :mad:
I tried launching the app that came with the scanner under OS X, but the drivers do not load and the app cannot find the scanner, (UMAX MagicScan 4.5).
Any suggestion? :cool:
Thanks All! :)

Firefox 1.0.1 is now out, I haven't downloaded it yet but hopefully it fixes some of the bugs in 1.0 :)
Edit: The menu bug is still there, so back to Safari for me.

2. Digital Performer
3. Cubase SX
don't forget protools. i use LE, free w/ their $800 digi001 (a/d & d/a) converter.
best value is pro tools free. it's, er, free.

The title is misleading to most n00bs.
You can't copy commercial DVDs with this program, not going to happen.
.
But there are multiple free programs that do this. What Popcorn does is compress vduel layer dvds so they fit on a one single layer writable disk, and burns them in the DVD format. (I think there is a way to do this with Disk Utility, but it is not easy.) The thing is, there is no free compression engines right now. Popcorn's main competition is DVD2OneX, which costs $50 and is *only* a compression engine. It would be great if there were a true one step DVD ripping solution out there for mac, but right now there isn't. Popcorn is a little bit cheaper (with these rebates a lot cheaper) and little bit easier to use, but from what I have read, does not produce as good quality rips as DVD2oneX does. Either way, you going to have to use MactheRipper or some similar program first.
Apple Script anyone?

you may wanna brush up on your CSS a little edesignuk, you would be surprised what CSS can control
mind you, IE doesnt support some tags, but CSS can do everything from onfocus to simple IF statements (firefox supports on focus of textbox while IE doesnt, inwhich case you would check the browser version and implement javascript for onfocus where IE doesnt support it from CSS)
i have had a hard time controlling form elements in safari, but i havent spent much time with safari as my primary concern. we dev primarily for firefox, then for IE and check to make sure stuff works in safari. thats just the way we have prioritized the browsers
il stop here as to not turn this into a flame war, but theres quite a few books on CSS if your a bit behind times. you should also know theres different CSS versions.

Faux News. *LOL* :D
They even skewed this article. BASTARDS!!! The game doesn't need to be violent, just a high action game. And to be more anal, "Untreal Tournament" was used for the study, not those thumb-twiddling additions. :p
I can see why Tetris wouldn't do it, since it requires you become focused on one area and visually things really don't change much.

I paid money for the file. I dont care about the license. I dont own my books, my software, my music, my life, my anything if I sit back and shut up. So the only issue here that bothers me is that short term, this could affect how I get my music and what I pay for it. Long term? It wont make a damn bit of difference... RIAA will eventually lose this war.

The big difference would be that there would be NO software that would run on it. It would also fracture developers even further.
You'd have OS X/PPC software, OS X/x86 software, OS 9 software.... Apple may be able to do this more cleanly in the future... but it would be a PR nightmare.
