    I Think The Government Schould Take Control Of The Computer Industry

    First of all, I know of NO government system put in place with regard to car manufacturers and new models (apart from the Gov'ts safety laws and EPA emissions laws). Car manufacturers come out with new models every year, like clockwork. As I said in the previous post, don't look to...

    I Think The Government Schould Take Control Of The Computer Industry

    I really really hope so. Because the last thing in the world you want is the government in control of the computer industry. The Government excels at one thing and one thing only - the military (and even thats up for debate). Every other facet of life they have their hand in, they end up...

    Will there be free upgrade to Panther for G5 owners?

    Sorry guys, I've watched the keynote (was there when it happened), and Jobs said nothing about G5 owners getting Panther free. Nobody is getting Panther free unless Apple decides to continue the "X for Teachers" program. Apple will offer Panther via the Up-To-Date program, but you are only...

    Urgent Server HELP needed

    Try reapplying the latest update (10.2.6). If that doesn't work, you may have to go back and reinstall the system. Then you can restore just the data from your backup, not the entire system. Good luck.

    article: Should Sony buy Apple?

    10 times again - No. I may be in the minority here, but I think Sony makes crap. It looks OK on the outside, but just about every piece of Sony equipment I have ever owned (Car Stereos, TVs, Boomboxes, Walkmans, Clock Radios, laptops, etc) has been crap. Sony is more like Yamaha than...

    Flash Player 7 Beta, experience?

    brianleahy - do a search on your HD. you may have multiple copies in multiple locations. The plugins should be in the Library>Internet Plugins folder. There's also the User>Library>Internet Plugins folder, I believe. Having two different versions of these plugins in two different locations might...

    Flash Player 7 Beta, experience?

    It's hard to tell on my hardware, but I haven't had any problems with it yet, so I guess that's a vote of confidence...

    Apple to go x86 for sure. Got proof.

    So I wonder if Terran will post a retraction now that he's been proven wrong. Apple moving to the G5 should (hopefully) finally put the x86 rumors to rest for good. Apple has invested alot of R&D money and time in the G5 and it clearly has legs. IBM is still a viable partner in the AIM...

    Linux user seriously considering OSX....

    For another Linux users perspective on Mac OS X and Mac hardware, check out Wil Wheaton (actor who played Wesley on ST:TNG) and his website. He's a devout Linux guy, but bought an iBook and has been singing it's praises ever since. http://www.wilwheaton.net

    Problem installing OS 10.2 on beige

    This is true, but from his description, the computer won't even boot from the CD, which means the partitioning isn't the issue. Another possibility is that your computers firmware needs to be updated. I'd boot in to OS 9, run Software Update, and see if any firmware updates are listed. If so...

    Problem installing OS 10.2 on beige

    Any upgraded items (CD-R drive, Video Card, CPU, etc) should get pulled and the machine should be restored as close to it's factory settings as possible (I'd leave the extra RAM in there at first, and then if that doesn't work pull any added RAM too). I've got 10.2 running on a G3/266 MT w/...

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    Huh?.... First of all, if you are concerned about shelling out big $$$ for an app before actually using, there are several avenues to explore before buying that can give you the information you need...First off, most developers give you the option of downloading a demo, many of which will run...

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    fryke - a better comparison would be... Just because you are a student, you don't have the right to walk in to a book store and walk out with any book without paying...software is no different... The argument of "I'm a student, I'm poor" is bunk. Adobe/Macromedia/Apple all have quite...

    Here it is from the horses mouth.... Adobe testing DRM in Austrailia

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    They already are... Austrailia is a test run. It will make it's way to the rest of the world in time for the PS8 roll out later in the fall... Personally, I prefer the dongle to activation, but so long as Adobe is forgiving in their granting of codes (allowing for OS reinstalls, 2nd...

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    All of this (with regard to Adobes apps, at least) will soon become moot. Adobe has been testing out product activation in Austrailia I hear, and will be going international with the program real soon. Basically, that means that instead of entering a sn#, you will have to call Adobe to...

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    I think too many people here OVER estimate the marketing advantage of having a good percentage of the world using your product. Adobe could give a rats rear end about the 100,000 people pirating their software. These people don't contribute to the companys bottom line one iouta. Adobe doesn't...

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    Their pricing on their pro products is in line with what other pro products cost. If you are actually using these tools to make money, the cost of owning them isn't that bad. As for the UI... Well, I'm always one to argue that UI can always be better, but I believe Adobe has a top notch...

    Dell/M$ blues shows that Apple rules!?

    I wish Apple would counter this with a "trade-in" promo of their own. Trade in your PC, and get XXX towards the purchase of a new Mac. I don't ever recall Apple doing this, although a few shops (Microcenter, CompUSA) have had similar promos and included Macs in the program. If Apple could...
