Naw...the iMacs (rev A and so on) used Rage II and Rage Pro. The new ones (350-400 MHz - the iMac, iMac DV and iMac DV SE) all have Rage 128 with 8 MB of RAM. Not replaceable.
Some people did but an 8MB Voodoo2 card in the mezzanine slot of the Rev A iMacs...but thats not an option in iMacs made after...what...November of '98? Or was it in the flavored iMacs of Jan '99...I forget.
I went to it over in Hillsboro OR...right next to Intel Ronler Acres...at lunch and the place was packed with Intel employees...well at that point in the film...everyone busted out laughing...except the dudes from Intel.
Moderate me down...it's off topic...but I'm tired and it's friday.
It's an HP product...there was a post on/. about some dude that works at HP and on his webpage it says "I make cool things that you will never beable to buy" and there is a picture of the Intellimouse right there.
IMHO, MS couldn't innovate if there was a gun to his head. With the exception of MS Bob and the Clip in MS Office.

I think the last US fighter not to rely on computer controls was prbly the F-15. To be inherently unstable is a feature...not a bug. Wasn't it a software flaw that caused the prototypes of both the F-22 and the Saab Griffon to crash on landings? Although the F-22 was a walk away crash and fire...the Griffon was a bit more spectacular if I remeber it right.
The B-1B has seven of the GCUs that the Shuttle has. So it's couldn't fly at all either. The FA-18E has a number of PowerPC chiped flight control computers...the FA-18E is the first US fighter to use Cat-5 Ethernet to connect the computers togeather instead of obscure military cabling...at least thats what I read.
IMHO the biggest problem with the F-16 is the fact that it has a single engine. If you look single engine jets crash more than twice as much as twin engine jets. Single Point of Failure will get you every time.
The United States succesfully invaded Cuba in 1898.
The United States didn't attempt to invade Cuba in the 1960s...Cuban Nationalists did with some support from the CIA...but Kennedy didn't give them US military support...so the invasion failed.
You are right on about the becoming a superpower by being a nice guy all of the time.
We are not talking about Imperialism or Manifest-Destiny in the 19th century. We are talking about Soviet-era expansionism and Cold War upsmanship.
The US also occupied and ruled Haiti. The United States annexed Puetro Rico, Cuba and the Philippines after the Spanish-American war. Cuba was spun off in...1899 and the Phillipines in 1948.
So when did the United States occupy Canda and Mexico?
Oh right...they didn't. But the Soviet Union did occupy Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia as well as annex Georgia, the Ukraine, Moldova and a host of other nations while it strove to make sure it's neighnours behaved. Didn't the Soviet Union occupy both Hungary and Chechzlovakia?
US Doctrine at the time was "Containment" originally that was supposed to be economic...but it was twisted around to become military. So we had the war in Vietnam...and we supported the Afgans so that Pakistain wouldn't be the next "domino" to fall. And we had that little invasion of Granada too.
So...no the United States didn't follow the same doctrine as the Soviet Union did...or China is trying to do now with it's...we *have* to take Taiwan back stance.

While there have been alot of proxy wars and non-proxy wars (Rwanda). Less lives have been lost in wars since 1945 than were lost between 1935 and 1945.
War by proxy was the norm in the 60s, 70s and 80s. But it's not the norm now. Look at the number of American missions abroad since 1992 (Somolia, Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo) and look at the lack of foreign involvment in Afganistan now...and the lack of Western Involvment in the Central African mess. It's simply that the proxies are big enough and well equipted enough now to fight without any help. Also the biggest region of Soviet-NATO proxy fighting was the Israel-Arab conflict ...which is downright cozy these days
Well...I know I'll get flamed for this but here goes.
Actually the advent of Nuclear Weapons and MAD (and to a lesser extent the lessons learned by the Great Powers in WW1) have lead to a period of unprecidented peace in Western Europe. While there have been some clashes (Serbia, Gulf War, Vietnam, Korea) for the most part they have been scaled down because of the spectre of full scale nuclear war.
Chemical weapons havn't been used on the battlefield in large scale or with much success since the WW1, while there was the Holocaust and that did involve chemical weapons, the Germans wouldn't use gas against the Allies because of the retaliation of gas against the Germans.

My iBook usually goes between 3 and a quarter to 4 hours as long as I don't run the CD too much.
I saw that this morning about 4.45am PDT.
I guess I should have said...the CIA was involved...but the CIA often does not represent the United States.
Had US Marines stepped foot on Cuba in '61...then the United States would have been involved

What do you mean...a perverted english? English has always had plenty of foreign words in it.
The magic of english is that you can throw anything into it.
Lakota words, French words, Hebrew words, Arabic and German find thier way into my conversations all the time.
So I'm not sure what you mean by perverted.
It's not that MS is hiring a lobbyist...it's that MS is hiring a lobbyist whom works for the candidate to lobby the candidate.

Personally...I like OS X Server.
I use RedHat 6.1 at home on IA-32 hardware...but at work I run OS X Server...
It's my fav of the bunch...but for now at least it only runs on Apple Hardware. If I could run it on IA-32 stuff...I'd be all over that.
Enron isn't a start-up.
It's got a market cap of $ 47.23 billion and revenues of $31 billion in 1998.
They own alot of power plants.
