Valid points all around about this comment in general, but in the specific case of XPS One Vs. iMac, and the ultimately desired usablity of the computer, $400 in hardware and a Linux OS will kick the shit out of either machine, and yes I am using OSX's poor memory use and Windows general awfulness to my arguments advantage.
big hardware + big OS ~(about equal) cheap hardware + good OS
if you don't get similar results, then your math is wrong, trust me.
I wish I had recommended mac to my family, they use linux now, and I HATE fixing there problems. I like fixing things, but not more than once, and they aren't young enough to learn new tricks
The Dell XPS One only looks more expensive. If you customize it and remove Vista (a must anyway) the price isn't as bad. Then you can install your flavor of Linux and look at all the power.
If you ask me, the side-effects are worse than the aliment the medicine helps with nine times out of ten. "Do you have trouble sleeping? Side-effects may include headache, vomiting, stomach pain, hot flashes, disorientation, sever bleeding from the eyes, and drowsiness. This medicine is not intended for people who have suffered a heart attack or if you have a history of heart problems. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not handle this medicine due to development issues in children under 24 months. Keep out of the reach of children."
I think that people just need to listen to the whole ad before they decide that its something they need.
I think public school is a bad idea anyway. I didn't learn shit until i got to college, seriously. I have ADHD, and in public school they did NOTHING to aid my learning. Instead, they gave the football team an extra $20,000. High school is not an educational facility, it is a business. And if you (the student) aren't helping them make money, they don't help you. So, I feel that the real question shouldn't be what to do about bullying, but what to do about faculty. If there are any teachers reading this, PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK.
Nothing is completely removed from the ground. I'll bet that New Zealand has some birds that love walking around, but that doesn't mean they are land animals.

oh yeah, who in their right mind would purchase a valid XP

duct tape and sand won't run vista any worse than a top-end PC
For the price your going to pay for either, I could build something better, add a 20% markup, and still save you money.

I agree. Generally, I am the first to jump on the anti-government bandwagon, but this bill does not say the internet is a terrorist threat.
It's about freaking time!

Agreed. However; based on the classifications that ARE in place, the original thread does hold true.

bats aren't land mammals.
