I must say, FF is pretty good, very fast! Kinda depressing...
NOW I HAVE TO COPY ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS! :mad:
I could have sworn that the FF set-up dialogue prompts you about importing bookmarks, etc.

You know what I think would be good for Apple? I'd like see them completely skip over using G4 chips in the iBook and go straight to using G5 chips from Motorola in the iBook. This would likely sell more iBooks which would benefit Apple and consumers (considering that the iBooks are already way behind in technology).
That's my $0.02 ;)

Well, apparently, 10.2.2 has been seeded to developers. Maybe there will be a fix in there for us.

Screw Combustion, I want Discreet to get the bugs out of Cleaner 6. Since they picked up Cleaner from Terran Interactive years ago they haven't done squat. They rarely even put out the "new version coming soon" lie on their BB anymore because every time they do they get slammed.

Good call. A 3 year old account has gotta be worth something around here, not to mention with Moderator status. :D
Whomever wins my account though, will have to pay extra for my Ralphie avatar. ;)

They really need to come up with a new slogan. but i digress. if apple can get hp, philips, epson etc.etc.etc. to adopt rendezvous in their h/w, they'll just have rendezvous s/w available for win32, so they don't need to change their h/w for win32 machines. So, let's get to building this h/w, so these companies are *truly commited* to rendezvous!
Microsoft did develop their own standard some time ago. It's called "Universal Plug and Play," and it seems to have gone absolutely nowhere, despite an allegedly open standard and an industry organization (Philips is on the UPnP steering committee as well). The only thing I recall ever making news with regard to UPnP was when Microsoft shipped Windows XP with the service enabled by default, opening a colossal security hole.
I'm not familiar with how Apple is handling dissemination of Rendezvous technology, but they've shown they have at least some concept of the proven reality that successful industry standards are a function of openness more than of technical superiority or the industry clout of the originator of the proposed standard. Witness how Jabber may yet become the industry standard for instant messaging, even though AIM is the de facto standard on users' desktops and the company controlling AIM is one of the most enormous on the planet. I don't think we have to worry about Microsoft ever learning this lesson. For one, if they ever did they'd be a much less loathsome company, but mainly they'll never figure it out because they're too intent on owning everything in the world.

I notice that a lot of people have a problem with MySpace and just make comments that it is a bunch of garbage and useless and stuff.
Ok, I'll admit it is an ultimate time-waster, but I wouldn't be surprised that people that bad mouth it actually have a MySpace and only badmouth it cause they're not able to admit they have one (for whatever reason).
Myspace is where all of the teeny bopping douchebags and jocks go to get laid. That all it is. Sure, bands and artists may use it as free publicity, but, C'mon. Why with something so elementry?

FYI - from the MS Office for Mac website:
---
Q. Will you re-release Office 2004 for Intel-based Macs?
A. No. There are no plans to re-release Office 2004. With Rosetta, Office 2004 runs well on Intel-based Macs.
Q. When will the next version of Office for Mac be available?
A. The next version of Office for Mac is under development, and we typically release a new version every two to three years. {continued}
---
My commentary:
"Runs well": Yeah, right. Emulate *this* Bill Gates. (appropriate hand gesture)
"Two to Three Years": So a new version is under development now, which we can assume is Office '07, right? Maybe the Mac version of Office will be released four or five months after the PC/Vista version.

I say break the law and be done with it.
It is a stupid law that deserves to be broken IMO.
I paid for the song and will do what I want with it - passive resistance is all well and good but sometimes there is no substitute for direct action. Given the sheer size of the P2P communities it is clear that the "law makers" are not representing their electorate very well.
HAHAHA. LMAO. Wow. Where to start?
This logic is faulty on so many levels. Because enough people break the laws in place, it should become legal? If raiding and pillaging started affecting your hometown, would you try to stop it, or simply give in and join in? Would you, as a legislator in your small town vote to make pillaging legal simply because so many people do it? I should hope not. Pillaging is taking away the rights of your citizens, the same as music piracy. People are taking advantage of the music without accepting the terms it comes with, thus taking wrongful advantage of the artists. DRM simply helps to maintain the license that you are purchasing to listen to their music.

Now, to build the thing - the source is 6 months newer than the binary last available...

The reason it's easier on a PC is because you need it more often there. :rolleyes:
True, but tell that to someone in one of those "10.4.x b0rked my system" threads... you only need such a thing once to appreciate it being there....
With regard to BitLocker... I'm kind of surprised that you need either the TPM or the USB drive... for an enterprise type of security feature, and cannot use some sort of network drive or keyserver, although I guess there are downs to that too....

Apple really should be setting a good example, and based on recent financial statements has the profit margin to do it.
That said, I'm not entirely sure about these figures; they're claiming a plant that employs 200,000 people working 15 hour days, and implies that's primarily iPods (I say this based on the "iPod city" phrase, though one assumes the plants make other stuff, too).
Now, with Apple selling around 8 million iPods a quarter (some of which are Shuffles, which they said are made at a different plant), that works out to 2.5 million iPods a month, maximum (assuming there are nearly zero shuffles sold, and almost all of the rest are made there), or 115K iPods per workday (assuming a 5-day week). Now, were all 200,000 people building iPods, that would work out to it taking almost two 15-hour person-days to assemble a single iPod.
I could be mistaken here, but based on the takeaparts I've seen, and the fact that these plants are just assembly of parts from elsewhere, I seriously doubt it takes someone 25 hours of work to put a Nano together and box it up, even if absolutely everything was done by hand and not using machinery. Not to mention at $50 a day that would put the labor cost at $85 not including housing.
Obviously it's not costing even a fraction of that to assemble an iPod (the parts ain't that cheap, and there's a rather fat margin on them), so either these numbers are drastically off somewhere, or only a tiny fraction of those workers are building iPods.
I'm not saying that it's not entirely likely Apple is hiring a lowest-common-denominator company to assemble iPods, and I'd argue that at the very least they should be outsourcing to somewhere that's a "good" place to work, at least by local standards, but I'm not jumping to conclusions about an article that at the very least is misrepresenting Apple as having a city of 200,000 underpaid workers living in dorms cranking out iPods for the world.
I'll wait to hear a little more before I make any decisions. Here's a Wired article that notes the contractor is generally considered pretty good by East Asian labor standards, and that the Mail article may be hyperbolic:

I don't know what's up with the hard drive. I just find it ridiculous that you need to use Microsoft's hard drive for X-Box Live downloads. Microsoft could be cool and just get rid of the proprietary hard drive, do a firmware update, and let everybody use any kind of USB Mass Storage device. Even if they add higher capacity hard drives to the line up, you know Microsoft will rip you off as far as how much they charge you.
You and me can keep dreaming :o
I bought a 400gb Sata2 drive for �90. 20gb (or is it 30?) for �70 is ****ing ridiculous. �60 for a USB WiFi dongle is ****ing ridiculous.
I wonder if MRU would defend the price of it now? I remember he was quick to defend MS months ago on this issue, but drive prices drop every other day. Microsoft's prices do not.
