Quote: By the way, don't get defensive or rude. I believe I was being offensive not defensive. And rude...you ain't seen nothing yet... BTW threads like this are invitations for abuse. Consider yourself lucky that many of the regulars seem t…

Quote: you get a lot more done typing than writing Huge news flash. The computer is not a glorified typewriter anymore. There's lots more to computer interaction than text input through a keyboard.

Quote: I just think that they should honor those of us who supported them in the beginning (of iLife) in some way - $10 off, or something. Most companies offer upgrades for existing customers. $10 would buy a lot of good will for Apple. For fsck…

Gee you'd think by now all the price sensitive folk here would have things figured out. The harddrive is a NEW premium product. In six months expect a price drop and one additional member of the miniPod family, with a slightly larger drive capaci…

Doesn't matter who was up there--it was a remarkably content free demo of a new product. It would have been more interesting if MS had copped to Unicode support and real support for languages like hebrew and arabic. That would be much more interesti…

Quote: Any of you ADC yahoos know if we're getting close (i.e. this week)? I'm hoping to recommend an upgrade for my boss' studio before the holidays get too close, etc. Isn't a couple of weeks of hammering on a test mule the usual recommended p…

Not to get further off topic, but a building is also bound by some fairly strict limits as well, like program, gravity, budget and owners. Many buildings also have a large subset of infrequent users, to which transparency is important. Besides knowi…

Quote: But a GUI has a far greater useability need than a building God I hope you're not an architect Quote: What makes Gerhy's work so thought provoking is that it does just that, makes you think about what a building could be. But as you say…

Quote: Well, yes, that's what I've always had in mind when I spout glibly about ID supplanting FM. I'd imagine that it might be marketed as something like "InDesign TS" (technical suite). The only problem with this scenario is that Frame is actu…

Quote: I was the sole network admin at a High School. We had roughtly 250 PCs most running Windows 98, due to costs. We had a Windows 2000 Server and 2 NT SQL servers. How many serious problems did we have in 3 years? None. Nothing crashed, nothing…

Quote: IBM has been delivering just fine. Well they apparently bailed out on SiLK at 130nm because of big problems.

Quote: For instance, controlling the CPU fab as well as the CPU design lets you design both to interact with maximum utility, that is have the fab and design such as to ensure the fastest, cheapest chips. You need people to be working on BOTH for t…

Quote: That should work, albeit maybe a bit slow. You *will* end up paging some memory to disk because Photoshop tends to like to have twice as much memory available as the file size, but it should still work. Just be patient with it. PS tend to…

Quote: The .doc format is proprietary, just like Colonel Sanders famous recipe and Coca-Cola's 7X ingredient! If .doc were open, I am sure we would not be having this debate - several developers would have full Word (and Excel, Powerpoint) compatib…

Quote: Instead of AAC how about Ogg Vorbis, or some other open sourced file format, instead of creating more propreitary formats that you hate microsoft for. AAC is an open format. See MPEG Working Group: http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/aac.html. QT is…

Quote: Why did they separate in the first place... if i remember correctly... Apple founded Adobe and then they separated... Sorry wrong fairy tale. Why would anyone want to buy Adobe. They have shown an inate ability to fail at everything be…

Quote: That's going to be a problem with any format, but at least with PDF you solve the biggest problem- being sure other people can read your documents. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but one of the reasons I use a WP to generate text is so people c…

Quote: The reason I think PDF might be the way to go as the native format is simply because the vast majority of computer users are still idiots. Having the ability to export to PDF isn't good enough. You need to be able to tell someone, "Use this …
