1. No, but any PC133 or DDR RAM and go to town. 2. Macs haven't come with floppy drives since 1998. Go polish your PS/2 port and plug in an ISA card. (Joke)
C'mon, man. That's the reason I switched to a PC in 1997. I got IE with the blink tag. You should see how much more productive I was! All my memos got read! The secretaries all gave me head!
I was _really_ drunk, so I'll cut through the ranting. He said that.NET will never catch on because you have to download the environment. The cleverness of Microsoft's move makes me smile even this morning: They removed the built-in Java VM from Windows, so you have to download it, too. That puts precisely the same barrier of inconvenience between.NET and Java. Sly, ain't it?
Are you fuckin' kidding, man? What people have on their machines now has nothing to do with what they have tomorrow. What stands in they way of.NET's ascendance? 20MB? That's nothing in the world today. People will scoff at that barrier to entry. Hell: Microsoft has already won if that's the difference; Windows doesn't come with a Java VM. Want it? You have to download it. Want.NET? You have to download it. They're starting from the same place, which means Microsoft wins. We lose. Game over! They're the person in motion, not Java. Java is old,.NET is new, sexy, and as far away as the hoary old technology. We lose! Game over!
Shit, it makes me just want to go to bed and forget about what I've been working on all day.
I did, sir. Might I have some more gruel? My mother, she has the grippe, and we don't have enough to eat. Please don't hit me again sir.

Yep. If you appear to be an idiot, nobody cares what license you use. It's a prudent lesson.

Big fucking deal. That's what I have to say to RMS and the rest. I'll continue to buy from Amazon because I like their service and their features. End of story. I don't give a flying fuck if they have a patent on my mouse. If their service declines, I'll shop somewhere else.
They're jealous and insecure. They've spent ten years breathlessly screaming that Macs are toys and it's not an operating system if it doesn't have a CLI, then when Apple releases the coolest UNIX on the block, they don't know what to do with themselves.
Amusingly, these are many of the same people who used to spend hours trying to make their Linux installs look like NEXTSTEP. Now that NEXTSTEP is back in a kickass operating system, it's not UNIX anymore.
One suspects that if they're *bowing to consumer pressure* they're doing so as a result to people voting with their spending power. It's not because of goodwill.
Are you defending her or are you joking? I'm usually pretty savvy, but it's sometimes hard to tell.
As to your second paragraph, it seems you don't know the right as well as you think. It's chockablock with promiscuous women who use their sex as a weapon because of their inherent inferiority complexes. Yes, my friend, the sex life on the right is a complicated, dangerous game.
I had no idea that you read/.. I'm one of your biggest male fans. Is there any chance we could meet, and if we mate will you conclude by biting my head off in any fashion? Please say yes!
Besides, if God decides to whack us with a rock, he'll have decided several billion years ago. There doesn't seem to be a lot that changes unexpectedly up there (save the occasional asteroid collision.)
Oh, and we'll be able to sell lots of commemorative t-shirts, magazines, and specially colored ribbons for the occasion. Go America!

You mean G3, right? Quadras haven't existed in years. A beige G3 was what you got in G3. Not sure when the B&W ones came along.
11.4 Maltese Falcon (not very quick)
I trust the speed hit is for FS operations.
:-)
And the second question is why it's off by default
Pish. I have a Pismo (500MHz G3 PowerBook) and a 933 G4. While the G4 is a lot faster, the Pismo is a delight to use and leaves me with no complaints.

Take a guess at how expensive West Wing ads are.
Yea, but Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave. The choice is obvious: The Choice of the New Generation©®.

Most people think about Nintendos. My 16 bit console is better than my 8 bit console. I bet my 64 bit Linux box would be f0kk1ng gr00vy!

Sad, really.
It does when you start choppin' off feet.
Whatever is wrong when people complain about control-clicking on a Mac :-)
The only 'hello world' program that has a complete LISP interpreter built in.

There's plenty to watch in Ipanema while you're pouring booze into the airplane.

Somebody must have been impressed by it. I don't play video games and have been using it since long before Warcraft III came out. :-)
I'm flattered.
Didn't you see Armageddon?
