I'm quite afraid that you might be correct. I pictured Superman getting hit in the head with a gun while standing there smiling and I almost fell off of my chair laughing.
Just support the hardware that's available? Geez. If everyone took that totally uninspired position, we'd be using PCs with ISA buses on EGA monitors. And Macs wouldn't even exist.
Uhhh...do note that the left and right hands are very, very far apart on this beast. The antitrust proceedings were actions of the Clinton Justice Department, which is in a whole other branch of the government from Congress.
Surely this would be stricken down per the recent Supreme Court decision that declared the spending of money to be a form of speech. As corporations are legally individuals, they have the same right to speech as people. As money is speech, it would be illegal therefore to so restrict their spending in that fastion. (Sucks, eh? Blame the conervative wackos on the bench nowadays. They're no Berger.)
Hollings is a dyed-in-the-wool Dixiecrat. I don't put him in the same category as a Tom Daschle or a Joe Leibermann (sp?). His perceptions on things are more in line with Trent Lott than the majority of his caucus.
"America" is a great song, but I can see why they chose that. (From memory, there's a line like 'on the boats and on the planes, they're coming to America'). That's a little scary sounding =)
The difference is that Office for the mac isn't quite as bad as is Office for the PC. It's bloated, but it works pretty well, overall. Same way with IE for the Mac.

This is an off-topic rant, but who else really objects to the incessant shortening and intercapitalization of perfectly adequate word-pairs. The term is "science fiction," not "ScienceFiction." Come on, people!
Sheesh! Can't people ever get enough? These people did a lot of work, and they deserve to be able to have a company for it. Just because you have a free operating system, that doesn't mean that you deserve everything for no cost.
Are people really this closed-minded and juvenile? The headline could be "Apple Exec Rescues Busload of Children," and people would complain that Apple is hogging the limelight, and is too aggressive with its PR. Grow up, folks!

The only problem is that he finally did it just as NeXT was ceasing hardware production. It seemed much more of a comment on that fact than the effectiveness of the company. And Steve didn't like it much, either.
Nope. They were notoriously finnicky about speed. The RAM was timed to the clock, and everything went haywire if you tried to overclock it. The best that happened were the Nitro/Pyro processor replacements. But they number in the hundreds, as I understand it, so you're stuck with your 25 or 33MHz black hardware. And that's enough for me =)

Maybe yours has. Mine's still the same as it was when the project began.
read this article about developing cocoa applications (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2001/05/18/co coa.html), and the power of an opensource depository of objects for macosx will become apparent. when gimp is ported, these capabilities will be available to other developers to add to. and, having a common interface with photoshop and fireworks will really push its use by web designers.

Surely the GIMP port won't be a full Cocoa (objective C) port of the GIMP codebase. Only Cocoa objects hook into the cool-as-beans runtime system of ObjC and share the benefits you're talking about.
The project was crap! Not to be a troll, but it didn't bring anything new to the table. Nautilus was the same (and just as crappy as) all of the other options at the table.

It's refreshing that when someone shares his opinion honestly and succinctly, people here are too darned dense and pre-wired to call it a troll.
(Note to moderator: this isn't a troll. It's flamebait.)
B5 r00led, man!
(Flamewar ensues.)
B5 really was good, though. It had the cohesive vision that all of the "new" Trek franchises lacked.

Trusts are legal, but anticompetitive ones are not legal. (From the heading of Section 1 of the act: "Trusts, etc., in restraint of trade illegal").

No it not. It a verb. Do you what I mean?

Don't forget that it's illegal to export Power Mac G4s to certain countries.
They're really expensive. A friend of mine took a class in how to use them, and never got to actually use the school's.

Not exactly...they had shut down their hardware production. Actually, sold it to Cannon. Close, though.

Yep =) So, if you're a netinfo hunk, you can have your network keep working and ot have to fuss with the silliness of manual networking.

How is this in any way informative? It's just wrong. It doesn't have any content, and it's not even interesting speculation!
The problem with a moderation system is that it relies on the moderators being competent. And not knee-jerk ibdeologues.

It isn't. Capitalism isn't pretty. I'm no great fan of it, but I'm not surprised when capitalist enterprises act as such.
