People chose Macs for many different reasons. Some may pick them for stability and freedom from viruses but I suspect most purchase them for other reasons because it would require that the buyer is educated on these things. The percentage of home users who buy computers who know computers is small. Most people buying Macs are probably buying them because their friends recommended them, the case and UI look cool, or because they were in the Apple store already to buy an iPod.
I'm not sure why you think Nintendo is a bunch of greedy bastards for not including a feature that none will use, will not sell anymore units, and will cost them more to produce. There's no blowback because nobody wants to play dvds on their game console; everyone already has a standalone dvd player. And the wiimote is not a good dvd remote.
Of course he's not running as a Democrat. His stance on nearly every economic issue is the opposite of the Democratic platform (see taxation, education, health care, welfare, etc...). He also differs many social issues so there's no reason he would run as Democrat. He's more a libertarian than either Republican or Democrat.
It's a new feature. Similar to the dictionary integration with Wikipedia, documents and web pages for marketing are now integrated with the bullshit generator.
Also, the readme explicitly states that the virtual copy of windows will not pass WGA.
This image will not pass Windows Genuine Verification. If you need to install an application that requires it, download it on a genuine PC, and then copy it to the VPC.
eMusic may be second but they are a distant second. The article has eMusic market share at 10% while iTunes is at 72%. That's like saying the MacOS is the second largest desktop operating system.
The limitation probably has nothing to do with the speed or user experience. It's more likely that Apple no longer wants support a certain set of machines and the common denominator in the those machines is the speed.
Apple has a similar limitation when it required built in usb for Tiger. It's not that Tiger needs built in usb but Apple no longer wanted to support those machines without.
I had a power mac 7300 way back in the day. It used a 604e motorola chip at 180 Mhz. The 7300 also had an upgrade card slot which allowed me to pop in a G3 card eventually and upgrade my processor. It also had 4 DIMM slots for lots of extra memory capacity.
When the 7300 came out, it cost around $1200. I bought it used for $500. The card cost me $300, memory was $50-$100, plus a $150 upgraded video card when it became available. I got about 7 years use out of that machine for the money invested.
A midrange iMac now costs twice as much, and has fewer upgrade paths than previous Macs. The white iMacs had options for 128 and 256 mb video cards but you could only buy them in that flavor, you could not upgrade them later.
To get a mac with upgrade options, you have to go with the $2500+ Mac pros. I bought a G4 1ghz about 4 years ago. I have no option to upgrade to a G5, and obviously can't upgrade to an intel. I can do surfing and wordprocessing on it just fine, but I can't play any new games on it, and the latest graphics programs and compression codecs for movies will drag to a crawl unless all other programs are shut down.
A PowerMac 7300 cost $2700 new when it was first released. It's unfair to compare the top of the line professional machine to the mid range consumer model for the expandability and then compare a used machine to a new one for prices.

When our founders created our country, only 1/3 of the federal body politic was directly elected. We had the lowest taxes, fewest regulations, our federal civil service was actually serving, rather than ruling, the people and federal police powers were few and far between.
When you say we, I assume you mean white land-owning males because everyone else in America at the time of its founding did not enjoy the same freedoms.
Nah. Just make the term "Broad Band" a standard that is reviewed every 2 years and be done with it. Otherwise, in 20 years we'll be connecting over the Super double wide ultra fast inter tubes of doom.
If there are enough students that disagree with the teacher's decision they start a protest. It can be as simple as submitting the following for their next writing assignment:
I refuse to complete this assignment because my writing may incriminate myself.
I've heard that a lot and it does make sense to me that it would be a fundamental flaw if it was true. Unfortunately it's not. You're not both parties B and C. Your media player is party B, and it's responsible for showing (but not giving you a copy of) the unencrypted content to party C.
In this analogy, the viewer as party C can strip search party B including the memory contents and body parts. Also, party C can intercept anything party B can see, hear, taste, smell, or touch.

This should be great news for the 13 Zune owners.
You're ambivalent about people buying stolen property? You do realize it's a crime to purchase stolen property?
iTunes does not sell 128k bitrate mp3s; they sell 128k aac with drm and 256k aac without.

I'm pretty sure that $1 doesn't go very far on yacht purchases.
