Call up Dell and ask for a free copy of Windows 7 media with your computer. See if you can get one of those, Apple on the other hand includes a Mac OS X Install DVD with everything.
Hell I had Apple reps tell me to install a licensed copy of OS X Server (the only version of the OS that has a SN), "wherever and as many times as I need".
Apple has never pushed in that direction, hell Scully talks alot about that in the interview there.
But they work well. Example, I have a dual Quad-Core Xeon, four disks, etc. It's quiet, even when I do something intensive like video editing the fans never get loud.
None of the fans are spinning at over 500 RPM, the CPUs are only about 9 degrees warmer than ambient air. It's a well designed computer.
So yea, from a horsepower to price ratio, they aren't impressive to most people, but they are well engineered. Guess you don't consider that geeky.
I'd say if a computer was a car brand, Apple would be BMW, Cadillac or Mercedes while Dell, HP, etc would be Ford, Dodge, Fiat or Chevrolet.
Yea a Cadillac and Chevrolet share parts, but a Cadillac has much higher build quality.

No, she resigned so she'd not be impeached for Troopergate AK. Running for Tea Bagger High Empress and reading from the palm of her hand were just pluses.
If she'd not been impeached the investigation would have kept going until Parnell was sworn in as her replacement following the '10 Election.
As it was, Parnell got an extra 16-17 months to hem and haw on the pipeline and then run. If I'd not seen how wishy washy Parnell is, I might have voted for him, I think I'm going to jump over for the Democrat. Berkowitz is much more drill-baby-drill than Parnell.

Here is a large acquisition, it'd put a bunch of Apple's competitors on the ropes and pay for itself in a few years.

Yea, some of them are, some are upgraded from the "base" Corvette to the CTS-V and ZR-1 Corvette
Like LSA which is basically an LS9 with a 1.9L supercharger rather than a 2.3L (which is used the Corvette ZR-1)
I'd say OS X Public Beta in '00 was a public beta, 10.0 and on were my day to day OSes from the day they launched.
Before that I used NeXTSTEP 3.3 and Mac OS X Server 1.0-1.2v3 on servers
The fact remains, 10.0 came out, three years and about four months after Apple bought NeXT and less than 3 years after Steve took Apple over.

He came back in '97, they shipped OS X in '01.
In the meantime they pushed out OS 8 and 9, but 9 was clearly a caretaker OS, just biding time.

So Comcast submitted a press release to /., then the submitter of the story lurks in the comments and pastes links to Comcast webpages.
The subject of the story should have included Press Release or Advertisement, at least Fark will tell you when a story is paid for.
Boy, if Apple or M$ had done that there would be a storm about it.

Chris what is your non-biased take on Comcast forging TCP reset packets and terrible quality HD?

She doesn't have a public sector job so who cares?
If it were up to me, Sarah Palin couldn't even hold a public sector job as a book sorter at the Wasilia library.
But now she's out shilling for a living in the private sector which is her right.
She's a serial resigner and I'll never vote for her, but that doesn't mean she can't keep a job reading from a teleprompter.
She quit last summer, July 26, 2009, then she got on the talk show and TV show bandwagon.

So McCain likely wasn't eligible to be President, or might have been

If McCain had won, I suspect that a group of the same size would exist as a "birthers".
She isn't a sitting government official, so why the fark can't she have a TV show?
If she was still the Governor of Alaska and doing a TV show, then people would have a problem with it.
Now the President, yea he is doing to many side media projects.

Arctic, Antarctic, its dark in the winter, light in the summer and fracking cold.
The mineral development in Afghanistan will be carried out by China, if its ever carried out.
Exactly, if they mine in Alaska, the Canadian Arctic, Siberia, Scandinavian Peninsula and the Kola Peninsula, they can mine in the Antarctic.
