First, this is very old and has been discussed before. Second, the reason they had to pull his ADC account is because of his age, as he could not legally be accountable for the form he signed (or whatever he had to do to get the account). He still can contribute to Darwin, just not as a member...

I understand what you are trying to say. I have a Alpha PAL8065 Heatsink on my 1.4 with a variable speed 80mm fan. It is pretty quiet. And it was pretty expensive. But most heatsinks use 60mm fans, which push much less air than the 80mm fans and are louder. The quieter fans are typically...

No one sells them, yes. But check out sites like www.hardocp.com and you can find people that make their own. I think the record is around 4 Ghz, or something like that.

Just recently switching from the PC side, I can tell you that you are wrong. The most expensive fan I ever bought for my Thunderbird 1.4 (one of the hottest processors of all time) was also the loudest. That is because they push WAY more air than the cheaper/quieter ones do. Typically the...

Wow, I have almost the EXACT same story. My computer was stolen out of my dorm room one year ago today (Easter Sunday freshman year). I bought my first mac (the iBook I'm on now) in August. But I used 10.0.1 from the start, and only used 9 sparingly. After 10.1 came out, I deleted 9...

Oh, so warez is OK as long as there is no demo available? I was unaware they changed the law. I have no doubt about your intentions, I just think this isn't the place to ask about where to get warez.

Woah, lemme get this straight. You are wondering where to get warez M$ software so you can try out other warez you downloaded??? Man, you've got a pair of brass ones. This wouldn't be the place to ask for something like that.

Meece

Hm, lets start the list. Omniweb, WindowshadeX, Fruit Menu, Xounds, Watson, Adium (well, made a donation), Snak, and Transmit. I sure do love shareware. :D

Actually the reason all these topics have come about is because they started a new site, http://apple.slashdot.org/

Yeah, i know a lot of graphic designers that are going to die if they don't get their next project done. :p Remember, there's always a job waiting for you at McDonalds. :D

Yeh, my school doesn't have a very big mac selection, but what they do have is dirt cheap (I think I've seen a total of 5 macs at a school of 26,000). I got Office v.X for $129, and some vampire game for free (apparently they just couldn't sell it). Too bad the game only runs on 9, which I...

This is what Microsoft calls "casual piracy," and is what they are out to stop right now. But they are going about it the wrong way. If they want you to buy 4 copies for 4 machines, they need to sell it to you cheaper than $400-$500 a piece. Say you buy the first copy for $400, then each...

Check your licenses, you do not OWN a copy of any of the software you have. What you own is permission to use the software.

I really hope this thing stays on the windows side. I plan to never use .NET, even if that means using the Unix version (I think it's called Ximian, don't quote me on that). I think it's ludicrous to buy the use of software for a year. And if M$ does go through with this, it better be $50 or...

I really have no problems with people playing MAME, in fact, I play many games on my SNES emulator. Granted, I own all the games I have an emulator for, but I've played a few that I haven't owned. Ed has a good point. It *technically* is still stealing, although no one really cares.

FruitMenu, TinkerTool, and Windowshade X are the only ones I have other than the Apple ones. They're installed in ~/Library/PreferencePanes/

Oh, and by the way, by running out of CompUSA with a box under your arm would be much better than downloading the software. You see, the developers were already paid for the piece of software sitting on the CompUSA shelf. Stealing that box takes money out of CompUSA's pocket, not the software...

In 20 years, if you want to use Photoshop 6 for nostalgic reasons, I doubt anyone will come after you for pirating software. The situation you laid forth is precisely why warez is so rampant. No one feels what they are doing is *actually* stealing, since nothing concrete is exchanging...
