Uh...I think you might be wrong. What about your printer or modem? Or Palm? It could be used without another machine, but it loses a lot on its own. I think your logic is really quite flawed.
Who's responsible for these things? And how much of the taxpayers' money did they cost? I hope the voters pay attention in November.
I'd really like to know why private business has so much sway over government in these sorts of things. I'm quite certain that this county's contract is one of the largest orders that the company has ever gotten. How come the county, as the consumer, doesn't realize that it has the power in the situation, and instead of acting out of fear of the company, should act to protect the interests of its residents.
I'm sure I'll buy it -- don't get me wrong. I'm just a little disappointed. One of my favorite things about the Mac was all of the stuff we got for "free" -- kickass OS, free developer tools, Mac.com. Now the cool integrated experience of e-mail and webpages isn't free. As I recall, too, it was a big plugging-point for iPhoto -- free integrated homepage pictures. Apple isn't out of line, just a bit disappointing.
I'm not sure what to think. I'm a huge Apple fan, and I love my Mac.com account. I've standardized my e-mail around it, really. This is a really dumb move. Just dumb. I really hope Apple comes to their senses soon --.Mac is a neat idea, but charging money for it? Come on!

Are you a native speaker of English? If not, I apologize and you can stop reading now.
If you are, sheesh! I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I'm not sure one sentence makes sense.
Examples include "I've heard the PowerBook my Firewire hub if I remember on a Microtech Smartmedia/CF reader, and MS optical Intellimouse." and "If the bins until after all, but the PC market there's a couple of SCSI as slowly as an example, on my TiBook 667 I have several devices that'll ONLY work when either hooked."
What are you trying to say? I'm genuinely curious.
Um, I thought that eye candy was a waste of processor cycles. And alpha channels caused users to have to buy the biggest video cards around, and were evil because the guy with a ten year old machine under his desk would have to buy a seven year old machine.
Or is that just when the operating system that you can't have does it that's a waste and stupid?
HP went to hell once they started removing buttons and making their products pleasant and "consumer friendly." I had a 6L -- worst printer ever. I finally sucked it up and got a giant old beast on eBay. it came in two wooden crates, but it's (hopefully) the last printer I'll buy for ten years.
I use 2K. It's crap. Total crap. It barely works. I don't ask much of it, but it just barely works. The Explorer hasn't stayed stable for more than two hours in months. It's unusable.
All the people are eager to jump to its defense, but a fresh install on a machine that is known to work going wrong with the minimum of activity doesn't pass the mustard. And it can happen.
Bravo! Great article. I hate Arial, and I love (love!) Helvetica. It's a gorgeous font that doesn't suffer from overuse like other fonts (including Times.) Arial is crap, and anyone with any sort of eye can see it. Look at the example on that page! It's just ugly.
First point: Microsoft wrote a crap-ass OS. UNIX is a fantastic foundation for an OS. It works, and it works well. It hardly sucks.
Second point: What? Do you realize that what you said doesn't mean anything? Apple never supported BeOS. They made their hardware information available to anyone who wanted it. Later on, they stopped. Apple never supported anything. And what the hell do you mean about running a Mac OS on IBM hardware? Wouldn't that lead to them keeping the Apple hardware available for the Be folk? You need to think about what you're saying before you say it. Otherwise, you just sound silly.
Pimps off of Unix? Does that even mean anything? I'm pretty damned sure my Mac is a real Unix box. Just like my NeXT was a real Unix box, and my next Mac will be. I think the poster has a few jealousy issues to deal with.
The quote is "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" and Benjamin Franklin said it in his Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
Psuedo acronym? What does it stand for? And the Mac OS is actually called the Mac OS (http://dhcp-53.dsl.telerama.com/mac.jpg). Besides, I'm not talking about the choices made by those naming the companies/products. I'm talking about the mistakes that people make when reproducing those names (like BEos in the above poster, iirc.)
I don't want to be a jerk unnecessarily (too late, I guess), but to me, mis-capitalizing a specifically-capitalized word is the same thing as misspelling it. The name of the company was Be. The Operating system was BeOS. Another model of computer is the Mac (not the MAC, it's short for Macintosh, not media access control), which is made by Apple. Just like it's Linux and not LINUX, or Linus's name isn't LinUs, other proper nouns do not include InterNet, PhotoShop, or MicroSoft. Enough of being a jerk, back to being a lazy ass.

Someone's been saying that since the first Mac came out in 1984. The debate will probably continue for years.
Somebody mod this one up -- it's a question that deserves an answer.
Do you have any idea when that was made? It's quite impressive for the year.

Wine passes i386 instructions directly onto the processor. Macs use PowerPC processors, so the CPU might be quite confused.

How many jobs have you gotten in the last year? (that didn't include mowing yards or taking any sort of food by car to private residences)

Folklore! The 4SIMX in my living room blinks that damned message once a month. Folklore...grumble.

You mean like all those keys on the keyboard that don't seem to do anything? =)

Is there any evidence that does a damned thing?
Sheesh. On Mac OS X, you can simply type in a new server. Editing the registry? That's a futuristic, easy-to-use OS, isn't it?
