Crimes fall where honest people are armed, because criminals fear for their lives.
Any legitimate statistics to back that up, bucko? How many crimes have you heard of thwarted because someone brandished a Smith and Wesson? I think it's all anecdotal if not apocryphal. It's up to the 2nd Amendment literalists to provide proof, in my book (but anecdotal is good enough for Congress, unfortunately).
And all those whackos shooting at and running from cops (who are well armed, last I heard) just consider themselves "a well armed militia" of one.
Wow. Just like that new armed forces commercial, "an Army of one."
Maybe they're going for the James Earl Ray/Lee Harvey Oswald angle.
Biggest problem is there is a handgun for every man, woman, and child in this country. That is *wrong*.
My wife is in marketing, and recently at a healthcare tradeshow. HP was showing off a tablet for the healthcare industry, and it looked pretty geewhiz.
One of the IT directors for a hospital asked how waterproof it was, and the HP rep said "waterproof?"
The IT guy said, "Yeah, this thing is going to get all sorts of fluids on it, needs to be cleaned/sterilized, it'll get dropped, etc. How durable is it?"
And the HP rep said "Gee, we didn't think about that."
Obviously, lots of homework still needs to be done.
The "Samba" project (www.samba.org) has reverse-engineered the Microsoft file and printer sharing protocols, allowing non-Microsoft systems to gain access to resources on Microsoft systems.
But to any legislator or lawyer not familiar with the down-and-dirty details of what interoperability entails, the above statement would appear that the Samba project is trying to crack into MS boxes. Just add "credit card numbers" to any protocol discussion, and ears plug up and fists pound.
If you get OS X, you get instant spell check in all apps that support the cocoa framework! No more worrying about cmbersum (woops! cumbersome! YAY!) recall of all the nasty rules of English!
Here's another exclamation point, just for fun!
This allows for extensibility to address considerably more physical memory (over 16,000,000,000 GBytes). Of course, no system requires that much memory...
Can I quote you on that when you're a famous OS vendor?
I'm sure you meant "Motorola's prices." Understandable confusion. "paying Apple prices" rolls off/. tongues (fingers?) so much more easily. Maybe it's an f-key or something.
I'll give you the philosophy: Everything is just a document, whether it be music or video or e-mail or whatever. Each will have a name and a history, and every user will have his or her favorites.
Hmmm. Where have I heard this before? Well, at least we can all hope by the time Longhorn is released, we'll have embedded Linux somewhere around our amygdala.
Absolutely. Why not consider cars as packets. Anything we've learned from switching and routing can be applied to traffic for cripes sake. Especially for major interstates and intersections.
So I guess this means that "no thru trucks" would translate to "no jumbo frames" and hybrid cars would be IPv6?
It's already been cracked. What's happening is that software service companies... companies that make money off selling their workers for hire on a contract basis... are using the product of open source code as a market descriminator for their services.
So which will it be? Make linux bonehead easy to use and configure, or keep linux running waving a dead chicken making money on services?
If linux meets the goal of ease-of-use for the masses, won't that beat the crap out of most of the income from services? I mean, most support for a ubiquitous easy-to-use desktop OS won't be writing cron jobs or perl scripts, those you'll download and double-click, right?
I think MS has it "right" : easy to use, but not *too* easy. And make things break randomly. Oh, and don't forget the legions of flying monkey MCSEs.
What happens when massive OLED 16:9 screens are cheapcheapcheap? And 64 oz cokes with a tub of popcorn are 15c to enjoy in the pleasure of your own theater room? Will the MPAA legislate against home theaters?
And pleeeeze! If you can't find an option to do something, or you are unclear on how Apple implements the administrator accounts, go online and have a look around, rather than,
Don't want this in my face. sudo rm -R.
And you didn't think something might break?
Abso*frikkin*lutely. My Q3A play with the trackpad is making my hand claw up. 6... count 'em... WE NEED SIX TRACKPAD BUTTONS!! Are you listening Apple???
Why do you differentiate between our ability to jack a computer into our brains, and a chimps ability to use a saliva-coated stick to get more termites?
I think all the people who can get over the psychological price hurdle, even after they understand what it does, are either too busy because they are doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc, or are idle/out of work sysadmins with absent/neglected social lives/significant others/spouses.
How much TV do you people watch, anyway? Don't you get out of the house?
I agree with you, save the subversive part. It's not too subversive for kids. It's downright creepy. I'm 33, and it makes *me* a little uncomfortable. I can imagine how it made my 6 and 9 year old feel when they saw it a couple of times due to random time slot shifts. Needless to say, Nick gets more attention from me than it did when I thought it was innocuous.
All you whiny bastards go petition that it be picked up by a little more mature channel. I want my kids not to squirm when they watch their favorite channel.

Lake Wobegon is a fictional place. "Woe-be-gone" get it? Not Keillor's *real* hometown.
I believe he was called Winnie the Pooh because his son named him "Edwin" Bear and then shortened to "Winnie." Not Winnipeg.

Reboot as that ignorant country cousin, OS 9 and whack that fscker to "NuKernel ownz JoOO" land.
Erm... that should be "your" eyes
"catched?" Do forks need to fly in you eyes before you edit?

sounds like you're still paying Apple prices
/. tongues (fingers?) so much more easily. Maybe it's an f-key or something.

But Mr. Joe User makes 5X as much money from using the computer as you do. Don't sound so smug.

As others have pointed out there are a number of VNC options for OS X.

All that needs to happen is some unlikely mammal needs to survive unnoticed while the dinosaur crumbles under it's own weight.
