The logo is also supposed to appear on the outside of the material (on the back these days) if you are compliant. Phillips sued a couple labels when they did use the label on copy crippled CDs, as Phillips didn't want these discs that didn't work right most of the time to filter back to...

What you want to do for security is two things: 1) MAC Filtering 2) WPA Personal #1 has one drawback, and that is nobody coming over can 'just connect'... you have to add their machine to the filter list before they can connect, although since you only have to do it once, it might be...

There are two things wrong with this: 1) You aren't limited to UMD movies, you can rip your own and with a little work and patience, you can get good quality out of it too (just not /quite/ what a UMD can offer). 2) Sony opened the UMD format for music/video. Anyone can start producing for...

Because of the size of the memory sticks available, it isn't too shabby, actually. I carry about half of the episodes of Firefly on a single stick with me, and they look good enough on the screen. Yes, it is a portable gaming device, although for those like me... it works as a portable media...

Doesn't need to.. the person is already being held for 2nd Degree Murder without bail. RTA, please. ;) I am kind of in the middle. I am from a family where my parents took a different approach: proportioned response. The more you consistently got out of line, or the further out of line you...

This is precisely why the high-end will be the last to switch. Personally, I wouldn't mind a mixed platform, if it makes the lower-end cheaper to produce and sell. OS X is at a point where heterogenerous product lines isn't going to hurt it... except in the gaming area, or other fields where the...

Well, yes, I did read the rest of the thread before posting. It wouldn't be helpful to you if I didn't do so. :) The issue as to why it works on one, but not the other, is that reading from multiple threads is not defined as part of the ANSI C spec. So, platforms are free to implement the...

Actually, if a defendant can prove that is the case, than the plantiff loses their rights to collect in most cases.

Yeah, but XCode does fark with a few things people did as part of their workflow, so while you aren't losing anything, it does take some adjustment. However, if you want to actually use the headers designed for your current OS and libraries, then you will have to move up to XCode, and you need...

YES. fsck stands for Filesystem Check... it is what is used to repair any filesystem issues you may have... run, don't walk, and run that command! ;)

It depends, a few will work as long as they are seen as mass storage devices (oddly). Although the suit itself is over Apple forcing iTMS to use only the iPod. If anything, this lawsuit is probably pretty quiet right now because the suit itself not going before a judge or awhile... or because...

Well, the problem is that SimCity 4 is unbearably laggy on a lot of systems (part of the problem is the heavy lifting it expects from the video card, another part is that the port just isn't very good). There are some patches, but if it doesn't improve noticably with more RAM (I play UT2k4 just...

Your problem is that on MacOS X, the actual device is locked down by drivers when mounted, and multiplexed access is supported through them. This way multiple applications in userland can do raw read/write to devices using POSIX or Cocoa/Carbon without conflicting on who gets access. Instead...

One of the problems is that depending on how the system is affected, you can't feasibly do it. If you boot from the disc, and attempt to boot into OS X (which causes the problems), how do you get to the point to install the firmware? I am not versed on the major issues of this firmware problem...

Actually, if the patent is read, Apple is on the border-line of infringement. The crux of the matter comes down to three things: 1) The patent talks about a computer-controlled device for playback, and explicitly states that the patent is the combination of ALL claims, and acknowledges prior...

I am selling my old trusty 8600. Specs: 300Mhz 604e, 288MB of RAM Original 4GB drive, plus an 18GB drive added in (SCSI) 4-port USB 1.1 Card 3-port Firewire Card Zip-100 Drive There are two case modifications. The first is a replacement case fan that was mounted on the outside shell...

Well, as a new Mini owner (go from an 8600 to a Mini... and /woah/ :P), I can say yes. Heck, I do development for a living, and I still got a Mini after the advancement (although my kit tends to be 1-2 generations behind on purpose, means my stuff works /well/ on a larger install base)...

1) Probably not. While the dev kits are pretty standard Mini-ATX boards in a G5 case, the final product won't be. Just take a look at the XBox 360... it runs on a Dual G5 system for the dev kit, but hardly the final hardware. 2) This has yet to be seen. Apple doesn't have OS X running on x86-64...

Actually, PowerPC is based off of the Power series of chips by IBM, with Motorola-suggested additions. Plus, it isn't code stored on a chip, it is circuitry (I nitpick ;)) Not really. This assumes the hardware will be entirely generic and commodity to the point of worthlessness (like Dell)...

Xeons and the upcoming dual-core D's are both rather powerful, and both run on the x86 IA-32 spec. There can be quite a bit of power, although I personally feel that Steve hasn't been giving the full picture. The transition starts in 2006, but won't be complete until the end of 2007. This...
