Now, that's a nice statement...

If you would be around, I would forget for a minute that I am a pacifist and beat the **** out of you until you start laughing!

I am not from Australia, but I hate ignorance like yours!

You should be really embarassed of a statement like that and it was way worse than the statement made before indirectly(!) about Americans...

I don't get people like you! When you are running out of arguments you have to become racistic? That's really poor!

I really feel sorry for you...

You call yourself pacifist? Laughable. More like a reactionary. From my contact with you, it seems that thats all you know, besides I didn't run out of argument. I believe I made my point quite succinctly. You may not agree, but if you read it again, it's there.

As for you racism charge, if you take a little time to read the thread, and consider the comment in context, you'll see that I made the joke because of his nationalistic comments, not because I hold any nationalistic grudge (or racist gruadge - whatever your definition is). As a matter of fact, I love Aussies, been there, dated them, worked with them. Hell, I was just having a little fun with an ex-colonist. Try thinking before you respond next time.

Still, I want to thank you for your comments, and for sharing your righteous indignation. I guess it takes an outsider to point out our many failings. Deutchland über alles, eh groovebuster?

FYI, that last bit was sarcasm.
 
In my opinion...

X.2 has enougrh new to pay4it.

I'm a developer and I'm very happy with the new capabilities of the system and I'm going to buy it. But I think that the price is wrong to tons of users, and it increases piracy o not to upgrade and then, all those amazing features cannot be used in any application because people doesn´t use it.

It´s all, folks.

You started it, groovy.

I'm not going to sit back and let you attack me, nor am I going to sit back and watch you make stupid comments about other people.

You go your way and I'll go mine, but I'm not going to ignore stupity.
 
>X.2 has enougrh new to pay4it.

does 10.2 have a voice chat feature in iTalk, or iChat or whatever the iFlip they are calling AIM's client?

AIM is supposedly working on it, though they finally had it working by the time 9.2 came out an now, we do not have it AGAIN!

can anyone with the preGM confirm this for me?
 
i think its time for this thread to be closed.

calling arn, eyelikeart, ambitiouslemon. please do something about this, its too late to get back on topic and no one wants to see 5 pages of flames.
 
>i think its time for this thread to be closed.

OS X has speech recognition built into the OS, so technically you can do it...I just don't know how productive it would be.
 
so how would you use the "talk feature" like through the AIM client? I just want something nice and easy like that...

though I guess I could fidle fart around with it, any ideas/suggestions?
 
You can speak into an app, but I haven't tested it out much lately.

ViaVoice has much better, and trainable, speech recognition...
 
yeah, but can you "talk" to other people through the OSX AIM client?
 
is there one? plus all my girlfriends across the country Love AIM, and well, let me say....

they just want to hear the sound of my voice!

<austin power's voice> YEAH BABY</austin power's voice>

no seriously, what do you suggest (and dont tell me boot into 9)
 
Sorry, but I'm not really aware of anything.

We were all kind of hoping to see some sort of videoconferencing app from Apple using MPEG4 come out with 10.2...who knows, wait and see.:)
 
KOOL! I just ordered 10.2 (since I can not justify the G4 purchace yet)

any suggestions on a webcam?
 
There's no app out there yet...just a rumor.

I haven't been lucky in finding any webcams that explicitly support OS X. If anyone else has info I'd love to hear about it too.
 
well, apple supports a firewire one, off its site, though it's $100 here in the states....

If you haven't purchased the iPod -- and I bet you have -- you can now save $100. This is the way it always works. As soon as you buy something the price goes down or a better model is released. That's the American way. We want it bigger, faster and NOW. This is just the beginning, I'm affraid.

If you are a student enrolled in college then get everything at a discount. Check with Apple's education division or your school's bookstore. Many of these bookstores have on-line sites connected with the school's main site. An example is a small site at Syracuse University. If you visit its bookstore you will have a lot of software to choose from. They also carry Macs, etc. But if you cannot visit you can get an idea of prices by going to:

http://www.syr.edu/bkst/

Granted they are not listing a lot of items but at least you will get an idea of how much $$$ you can save with educational pricing.

Good luck
:)

you can buy it for some $69, I just bought it off their sight, though you should go and talk to an authorized resaler

they are small business owners too

Did I make you upset? Fine! Now you know how it feels like!

Maybe my english is a little bit rusty meanwhile, because I don't have the oppurtunity to practice a lot anymore, but believe me, I know when something is meant sarcastic and when it is dumb and racistic. I know more about the english culture and humor than you might imagine, since I am married to a Canadian, have family in North America and friends in the UK and Australia.

Do you have to go on such a low level just to "pay it back to me"?

And by the way... this time I didn't put a ";)" because I wasn't joking at all! You were provoking me on purpose and now you have a break-out that you have enough because of the response??? You got what you wanted! Be happy! You were able to tell me how stupid I am to make you feel superior, so that you can look into the mirror tonight when you brush your teeth before you go to bed and tell yourself again what a cool and educated guy you are. Really brave! I am impressed!

Know what? Just ignore me as I will ignore you in the future and everything is fine... I really don't need conversations with people like you, as well as you don't need conversations with guys like me.

Adieu!

Why can't people just stick to facts and rumors and stop becoming personal and emotional. It's not worth it and it really slows up the thread process. I don't know about others but I'm not here to read all this bulls**t from the same people. Groov, et al, get with the program:eek:
 
>>Am I wrong or is apple asking for $129 for jaguar? I'd just saved up for an iPod and now I have to start saving for an osx UPGRADE....

I know! I'll sell you my 5gig iPod for $175, then you'll have plenty of dough left over for 10.2!
 
Oh come on guys

This thread is one of the best threads I've ever read. I'm proud to say that I triggered it all aswell.
who ever made the statement about aussies... your absolutely right... although it's a fair bit of speculation to say it's genetic... (there still doing tests).
But groovebuster... thanks for sticking up for US aussies... well THE aussies... I'm not actually australian.. (italian). But still I know you meant well. and Rower, you legend! Some of your come backs were cool, although I thought goovebuster had you at one point, but you came out with flying colours! Good Stuff... keep it up! (make fun of his mum or something that'll get him going)

Back to Jaguar...
I'm slowley getting convinced that apple aren't trying to rip me off, but the intial reading of the price was a bit much for me to cope... Oh and I never thought the sun shone out of steves arse... I was just emphasising my point (badly).

Secondly (on the slightly racist side of things).
Why does steve say Jag-wire... is it a play on words, or is there some weird american accent that has butchered the word. (like how americans say Emu like 'emoo' it's 'emYOU' and stupid is said 'stoopid' instead of 'styoupid')

And what is it with americans being so fat and ugly (okay I'm kidding, I'm kidding)
(Australia has just as many fat and ugly people as America)
And by that I don't mean to say that being fat is bad either... or being ugly is bad (well it sort of is, but you can hardly help it)

I think I'll just quite while I'm behind....
 
I know there are lots of new features in Jaguar, but what about fixes for 10.1.5 for scanners, printing preferences and the like?
It used to work in 9, so why not now?

Scanners worked in 9 with third party drivers - THIS IS NOT APPLES FAULT.

Look at VueScan, this software can control how many different brands of scanners? Yet the manufacturers can't seem to get their act together to get a driver out the door?

If Apple throws built in support for scanners into Jaguar, fantastic. But to expect it in 10.1.5, when it was never there before doesn't make sense.
This is not a fix for Apple to make. They didn't support it in the OS before (not even for their own scanners), why should they do it now?
