Apple Announces New MacBook, Pro, Air
Steve Jobs just got through announcing new MacBook lines in Cupertino. The MacBook, the Pro, and the Air all got revved. The old line of plastic-body MacBooks drops in price by $100, to $999. The new MacBooks have a metal body and multi-touch trackpad, just like the new Pros. The Pro features two NVidia graphics chips. Quoting Jobs: "With the 9400M, you get 5 hours of battery life, with the 9600M GT you get four hours of battery life. You choose." In summary: "We're building both [MacBook and Pro] in a whole new way. From a slab of aluminum to a notebook. New graphics. New trackpad, the best we've ever built. And LED-backlit displays that are far brighter, instant on, far more environmentally responsible." They are shipping today and should be in stores tomorrow. Oh, and one more thing: Steve's blood pressure is 110/70.
my bad! I was in a rush to FP (first post) :-( .
Macs can boot from USB. Have been able to for a LONG TIME.

It's called short selling.
Selling something you don't actually own yet ought to be called fraud.

Because speech != beer?
...and yet for me at parties, beer = speech.
We have quite a mathematical conundrum on our hands.
For sufficient quantities of beer this equality you mention becomes ambiguous. If only we had a way to statistically model this phenomenon...
How about we just call it a F(x) = e^(-x) : x(sober) = 1; x(piss drunk) = Infinity. *Note: think of these as x0 and x1 but without the subscripts.
The more beer you give the woman who won't talk to you when sober [1 over the exponential to the first power] the more forcefully she becomes in telling you off [1 over the exponential to the n number of beers whose absurd limit rapidly approaches infinity and thus F(x) probability of hooking up goes to 0] and thus you being more and more drunk, thinking you're getting somewhere realize that somewhere is a bitter mood and out however much you wasted trying to get anywhere.
This is one reason a University experience to experiment in social settings are not only healthy but help fertilize in one's mind the fiscally prudent ways of spending your limited cash.
My favorite experiment was buying a pack of cigarettes and every damn good looking woman would come out of the woodwork to bum a smoke off of you. The average looking women either weren't so callous or brought their own to smoke.
In the end, you were out less money and you end up wasting time smoking and telling your friends what a f***ed up scenario that turns out to be.
In the end, social circles still exist throughout life and if you're not willing to join said circles because you think they suck don't expect to ever date any of the women in those circles you can't help but long to touch.
