Ok, I know nothing about nothing when it comes to Macs and music software/equipment. We have a Mac G4, not sure what the current OS is, but I am going to get it upgraded.
For my boyfriend's birthday, I am looking to find a music software production program. He had been using Cakewalk Metro up until our computer crashed a couple years ago. He really wants to get back into it, but when I looked up Cakewalk, I saw that Metro is quite outdated and most current cakewalk products are for windows. So can anyone please, please, please tell me what an equally good music software is (by the way, he makes mostly drum type electronic music via keyboards and drum machines). I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks!

As evidence that some rich people didn't earn their wealth, you just referenced Enron that went bankrupt, Madoff who went to prison, and the Banks who we bailed out... and would have otherwise gone bankrupt. So, essentially three examples where the free market either did or would have (without government intervention) correctly punished bad businesses. Odd choice.
Not really. I consider them vastly underpunished. Do you honestly think that all of the wealth that they stole went back where it belonged? How many friends, relatives, smaller investors and purveyors of luxury goods and services recieved a windfall from these criminals? The crime cannot be undone. They spread their ill-gotten gains around for some time and much of it cannot be recovered. Justice is only partially done at best.
Hardly. All I'm trying to do is better understand your position. You seem to take the position that the majority or mob rule can decide how much money to take from one person without inflicting the same on another person... in effect choosing winners and losers. Furthermore, you seem to not put any limit on this position so it would seem that you feel the majority has the right/ability to take as much money from 'the rich' as they choose to as long as they do it with a majority in the democratic process. This would imply that you don't think that the person who actually earned the wealth has any sort of moral or legal claim on the wealth. Please enlighten me as to where I am going astray in describing your position.
You love those loaded terms. If taxation is "mob rule", then we've been living under it since the 18th century. As far as "choosing" winners and losers, you seem fine with letting your vaunted "free market" do it; I happen to think that such a process is unjust if unalloyed with further means to prevent excess. The mere fact that a person makes a living and then some from the "free market" does not necessarily make them a legitimate "winner" with the strongest moral claim to all of their wealth. In fact, if you agree with the concept of taxation you already agree with this principle. Your "right" to anything is predicated on your ability to protect it, whether that be through legal processes, or through coercive force. Nothing in "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" specifically states that the top 1% of this nation ought own 50% of the wealth.
You are ignoring my point about how small cabals of wealthy and powerful people pay lip service to democracy and then do whatever they want - how is this somehow less of an injustice than the rest of us raising taxes on your beloved billionaires? Especially when you aren't one of them?
Finally, just because you have a legal or moral claim to wealth or property does not mean that you are the only person with a claim, or that your claim is the strongest. All Americans have a very strong moral and legal claim to being able to earn a living - but as wealth increases the moral claim weakens, to the point that the wealthiest people maintain much of their wealth not through any moral right but simply through their own ability to hang on to it. Your first dollar is very much yours - but your ten millionth is up for some debate.

I want to be able to see the size (in Bytes) of the 8 photos I selected. Right now, Finder tells me that I have selected 8 files, but also tells me the total HD space remaining rather than the size of the 8 files.

I think for SL there was a timeframe (4 weeks?) for getting SL for free. Then there was a separate timeframe outside of that for getting SL for $10. I may be wrong, as I did not qualify for either.
This.
If you were within a month of Launch Day, you got it for free. There was a separate time frame that allowed you to get it for $10. Outside of that, you could buy it outright for $30 (if you already had 10.5) or $129 if you needed the box set.
I would assume that 10.7 upgrades will be handled in a similar fashion, but we don't know pricing yet on the full version.

Sorry but I don't really understand your reply. I think I get what your getting at.
I will give an example. Joe Smith.
Just say his email is jsmith@blah.com
first time i receive an email from him, i right click his email address at the top of the email and go down to add to address book.
Then I test it by opening a new email, clicking in the TO: section and typing 'Joe'.. It wont find it but if i type 'js' it will find it.
Next I have tried deleting that contact from the address book and opening address book myself. Adding the contact physically through the address book program. Test it, same thing. Only way I can search a name in an email is to open a new email click the address book icon within that email pane and find the user. Which is just another extra step I should have to do. :(

I'm sorry to see it go, since it's something I think they could do a good job with--and likely have offered bundled with a Windows license for a decent price.
But at the end of the day, it's not a product that's needed. There are other choices now.

Pretty quick response to fixing the issue with 4th gen iPod Touches. Was getting really annoying. :)
I agree, I just bought the iPod Touch last month, I thought it was the hardware. Glad to know it wasn't.

Wondering if the MB138LL/A Mini with C2D 1.83 and 1gb of Ram will handle 720p videos. I have ripped many of my movies to mkv files and I am worried that the GMA built on Video card will cause me issues. Some of my files range from 1.56gb to 4.6gb in size. I pick up the machine on the weekend so any help woudld be appreciated.
Thanks
Should be fine for 720p, you could have issues with higher resolution.

oh ya, could someone explain what they mean by "gapless playback"?
When you have songs that merge into each other, e.g., a live CD, or lots of dancey CDs or classical CDs, when playing the songs there is no gap between tracks.
This wasn't as simple a solution as you might think, because the encoding of the music (AAC or MP3) encodes into blocks of data of a certain size, so if your song finishes half way through a block, the rest would be empty. I imagine that the reason iTunes has to go through all of the songs to deal with gapless playback is so that it can find the actual end of the song so it can start the next song seamlessly behind it.

i think while you are redesigning the site, you may as well redesign the logo, that is getting a bit old now...
however, I guess it is part of your identity... I don't know, no offence, i just never thought much of it. the rest of the site is top notch, esp the content, i will definitely be contributing!

if apple won't fix my semi broken iphone, I'll be putting it up for like $300. Everything on the phone works fine, except I dropped it, and the volume button is somewhat stuck(you can unstick it, but it goes back...it doesn't have its "click" so it stays down) and the volume is almost always constantly being turned up, and the silence switch is really hard to push back and fourth.

So the Verizon deal really didn't help them with the iPhone and Apple lost again more marketshare in the smartphone market. Not good especially as Google now ships almost 40 million Android phones per quarter. Maybe a cheap iPhone nano might help Apple to get back into a competing position.
Google does not actually ship any smartphones per quarter. They are the name on a disjointed platform. No version of Android has ever shipped 40 million units in a quarter..

AJAX is the next big thing in web development, so yes, brush up on your Javascript and XML skills - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX
Yeah, I know XML, and am looking at XSL and XSLT as I type this. Good stuff. :cool:
What kills me is all this XML stuff is so simple (at least in its philosophy), yet so powerful in what it can do. :eek: :cool:
I've also answered my own question here (http://www.w3schools.com/). :)

Just out of curiosity has anyone ever sat down with a meter and figured out what folding costs you in electricty. I shut down a server I ran 24/7 for years (and replaced it with a HP WHS) and realized a $20/month decrease in my electric bill. That server wasn't really doing all that much. It hosted some web sites that no one visted and ran an email server that serviced one user. I imagine had that thing been folding with all its unused cycles (which were many) it would have been much more than $20.
