Oh awesome - thanks for the information.
Both of my cuttings are on my inner biceps (sp?) - on the left is a "Chi" (18th letter of Hebrew alphabet - symbolizes life) which I got when I was having some problems with, well, living. On the right is a triple moon goddess symbol, which seemed appropriate given my witchcraft. Actually, this one is a bit more aesthetic to me as well - I got it because I like it and like it because it is what it is.
Glad to meet a Wiccan :)
Not personally into any forms of religion myself, but have looked into Wicca.
I am however more into metaphysical stuff. My latest adventure is in crystals and minerals. I shouldnt say newest, my interest in metaphysics started around the age of ten. Im not heavy full blown into it.

Ahh, I see what you were referring to now. You meant that the EU governs nations more than the directly elected legislatures of those individual countries, right?
WillEH took it in an entirely different direction and you didn't really bother to correct him (in fact, you agreed and gave him a winking emoticon), so I assumed you were both talking about the same thing; namely that illegal immigrants were somehow "taking" the country from itself.
Both of you focused on the immigrants rather than the policies, which smells (really wreaks) of xenophobia and racism (racism because let's be honest, it is the underlying cause of the xenophobia). If you didn't really mean to carry on the topic this way, then once again this thread is the casualty of sloppy writing.
Oh - I do have a problem with immigration policies too - and I'm not very happy about illegal immigrants either, so don't get me wrong on that, CalBoy. But that is not the immigrants' fault - legal or illegal. It's the politicians' fault, and the EU plays a major role in this (in their backroom-deals with Saudi officials, for instance).
I think I mentioned something about the politicians in an earlier post as well, where I stated that they are far worse than the illegal immigrants. I therefore can't really see why this is a "focus on the immigrants".

What are you basing these statements on? I thought Japan would be one of the most prepared industrialized countries. They had an early earthquake warning system that probably saved countless lives. I don't think any other country has such a system. I suspect that if a similar rash of disasters hit a similarly populated area of America or England, the damage and death toll would have been much worse IMO.
If anything, Japanese people tend to be over caution. All elementary school kids must wear helmets when walking to and from school by law. I thought that was absurd when I lived there but they are inclined to be extremely cautious.
The nuke plant operator Tepco has been in bed with the government agency which regulates it. The excuse Tepco has been saying is that the tsunami is not what they had expected. But, there has been some warning that such a tsunami (and a preceding earthquake) is indeed possible; but, Tepco decided to ignore those warnings with a wink-wink from the regulator. I don't comment on the wisdom of the elders (as I am not a believer you gain wisdom as you age; some old people are totally out of their wits and scares heck out of me when I think they are out and about on the roads I use).
The Japanese tend to be cautious if they have been told to be so by the authority figures (elders and government people), which is typical of the conformist society. But, as everyone knows, the government bureaucrats and the quasi government sponsored enterprises such as power companies are often "run" by less-than-competent people (important distinction: I used "run" in this sentence, as the top management tends to make decisions in Japan).
As far as the natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsumanis, the public just needs to be cognizant of the risk where they are living. I mean, if you are living a low-lying area near the past tsunami disaster areas, you need to be mindful of that when you buy properties and live in that area. In Tokyo, the building codes have been beefed up and I have not heard any major building collapse in the Tokyo metro area because of this earthquake (which I call the "preparedness.") The Tohoku area which was hit hard by this earthquake was not well-protected because its ocean side barriers were not high enough to begin with.
PS: I have not seen elementary school kids wearing hard hats while commuting in Japan. They wear school caps.

There were rumors a while ago that the new chip maker would continue making the older the A4 chips, while Samsung the A5's. My guess is that there will be two new iPhones. One very similar to the iPhone 4 without the glass back as the cheaper model. And the all new 4" screen A5 iPhone with a somewhat higher price tag than today's iPhone 4.
There were rumors she was into field hockey players....

but live tv on my phone? Amazing. I'm getting it right now.
But that's only over your home wifi network, no?
So does this mean I can be at work and use my iPhone to schedule to record a programme that my sleeping mac will then wake-up and record?

It's not just Rosetta. Office on my G4 opens in about half the time it used to on previous versions of 10.4
First open takes about 4 bounces to the Project Gallery, subsequent openings are maybe 2 bounces. Much quicker than before.

I mean, how much slower is the dual core 2.3 versus the Quad?
Less than 50% the performance, not that hard to figure out. :p :D
Single threaded performance is almost the same (2.3 vs. 2.5), the Quad shows its performance in multithreaded apps, though.
However, even though you might not necessarily run applications that can fully utilise all 4 available cores, I believe that the Quad will do better even in everyday tasks.
The jump from 2 to 4 cores is definitely noticeable as most people run a lot of apps simultaneously and the 2 additional cores distribute the load.
A single G5 core gets loaded pretty quick (web browses can easily max out a core, which doesn't leave much room for additional tasks).
I see your point, though. The LCS is kind of a deal breaker if you're not too tech savvy and can't replace the pumps/hoses.

End of June makes sense... but it does not make sense that they would not announce (as they have before) at the WDC? But, maybe focus on SW at the WDC makes sense to build value to the new iOS5 and Lion? Might mean that iOS5 is more significant than we expect to deserve such a spotlight?

There shouldn't be any paint on the display... You must've gotten a crappy front panel. I've had several. All had 0 display issues.
Not paint, point.
With a black bezel, the whitest point of the screen looks like white to your eyes.
With a white bezel, the bezel is the whitest, so white on the LCD never looks white. it usually looks blue or yellow.

What bothers me about this is that we now seem to have a huge number of professors and other self promoting (people) running around scaring people for what appears to be a number of odd reasons. This is about as real of a concern as the people making all the noise about global warming. Sure there are issues here, but it really looks like the efforts of people associated with theses scares are more about self promotion and self enrichment than anything else.
Not a nice thing to say, but when you understand that some of the people involved in the global warming debate where a few years ago involved in the coming ice age debate you have to wonder about sincerity. I mean really what is the big deal here that a public announcement was need. Was it an issue of radio frequencies being trackable, something we have all known about for years, or the fact that the transmission was coded for identification?
The point is if you have anything on you body that transmits radio energy you can be tracked. No surprise there. I'm also suspicious about their software, the unwillingness to publish said software may indicate that this is a elaborate dog and pony show.
In the end I just think it is sad that people in the higher education systems of this country have nothing better to do than to scare people. You would think with all the long term economic issues we have they could find a little time to develop technologies that will push the economy forward. Instead energy is focused on items that go down the drain in a few months time.

I'm in a similar boat to the linked article. I am a recent Mac adopter and I have a hard time imagining what OSx NEEDS. I like it how it is.
That's not to say that I'm disinterested. The opposite, in fact. Apple has rarely done something, especially in terms of interface, that I am opposed to or just don't like. I am even more interested in seeing what they have planned than I would be usually because I have no logical clue what they are going to add.

I continue to be amazed by the number of students at my community college that have iPhones. These are students who for the most part are struggling to make ends meet, yet were willing to spend their limited cash that way. There are at least two or three students with iPhones in each of my classes; two years ago, I didn't see any -- and mine was a curiosity to them.

Just to remind you, your current version of iDVD will not disappear from your applications, they are just no longer developing, marketing and distributing iDVD. If you have iDVD and love it then you'll still have it. It will not cease to exist from your hard drives cause its not on the install disks. Remember iMovie HD to iMovie transition? they even let people download iMovie HD for free even though it wasnt in the suite - maybe they'll do something similar again. You can get it if you want but we're not going to make it default. They can even include it on the DVD as an optional install (with all of the localizations and garagebang library and all of that stuff. Personally I never liked iDVD, I never was able to get it to work but I'm excited about iWeb and i hope it does have html5 - Also, I'd like iWeb to be able to create mobile sites fairly easily.
Next is they need a consumer aperture app in the suite. Like others have said, iPhoto doesnt cut it for editing.
Lastly, I'd like to see the whole LP creation and other media creation as part of iLife. Mobile apps sound good except iWeb on iPhone would be quite challenging. I would like something where I can check on the sites and maybe even republish remotely from my desktop at home since iWeb's sites are so unreliable sometimes. Although, it might be because i'm using consumer software to create professional websites.
Anyway, can't wait for iLife & iWork 11 - hopefully with iPhone iWork apps :)

America isn't in a long term decline. Even it it was, we could only perceive it in a distant hindsight. The decline of America/American Empire, Loss of Greatness has long been merely a political rallying point.
The Roman Empire went through many ups and downs. Some of those "down" periods may have been perceived as a long term "decline" but which followed by many years of prosperity.
My theory is that people become susceptible to these ideas when they personally are going through some type of decline.

Because so much of the cost of a computer is the cost of the CPU? Of course not. Everyone can see there's more to an iMac than just the CPU.
Scrolling through some of your previous posts, I have to wonder why you bother with this site, you're never going to see something you like.
While the Mac is more the sum of its parts, lilo is perfectly right with his assertion. Apple doesn�t want transparency that detracts from whatever they preach. Nevertheless top product though somewhat underspecced for 2k.
180 markup for i7 upgrade? Plzzzz
