A great many people would argue about LP's being "obsolete". They certainly are less convenient, and easier to damage, but many believe they offer superior reproduction of music.
Of course, a $100 cd player will sound better than a $100 stereo with turntable, but if you don't mind parting with your kid's inheritance (to hell with the kids), LP's really do sound better.
The problem is not a lack of power. The problem is the way that the politicians deregulated the electric industry in California. The problem is that one of the main suppliers in California yesterday defaulted on paying for approximately $500 million in electricity they purchased, even though they over $1 billion in their coffers. The problem is that they have now been downgraded to junk bond status because of their default.
The problem was caused the way the deregulation was structured by the politicians. They planned to cap the pricing to consumers, while letting the wholesale price fluctuate. The "thinking" at the time was that the wholesale price would decrease under deregulation, thus their profits would go up.
No one envisioned that the whole price would increase (due to natural gas price increases) to a point where they were selling at less than the cost of producing.
Sorry, but technology isn't the answer this time. Oh, and yes, the pie is limited. Conservation is not THE answer, but it is a PART of the answer.
/it wants 500MB... it won't fit on the dinky partition.../
Well, I'd suggest setting up a larger partition. Be 4.5 had three partition size options, and would let you make a 1.5 G partition, and 5.0 lets you define the partition size.
Oh, I see. So the next step is that I should be able to sue the public libraries to see who has been reading which books. Maybe I especially want to see who has been reading cryptographic books, or maybe gay literature, or whatever?
I mean, "Hello? If you access via a public resource..."

Dude, I'd forget Me for awhile! I just installed it (trying to be proactive: when windows crashed large I'd have to: format the drive, install dos from floppy, 3.11 from floppy, cdrom driver from floppy, then 95 upgrade, then my apps. I figured I'd get the full version of Me, since 98 is supposed to go away) and I've had ALOT of problems. My Colorado Backup II is not supported, Partition Magic is not supported, I have seen countless active desktop errors, and the screensaver often locks everything tighter than a drum. The local comp. store told me they're recommending people wait for 6 months until MS gets the inevitable service packs out.
I ended up formatting the drive and installing 98. Of course, I only boot this piece of shit up when I want to use Pagemaker. Then I take a shower and reboot to Debian.
It's not just for home controllers. I attended a meeting last November that discussed this project. Their intended customers now are businesses, such as supermarkets, fast food franchises, and the like, to give them information about devices such as walk-in coolers, refrigerated display cabinets, and other environmentally controlled areas.
The system has various sensors located throughout the monitored areas, with alarm conditions (limits) that trigger the folks monitoring the systems. These monitors can be located anywhere; the place I was at was located in Atlanta. When the alarm is triggered, the monitor either calls the local manager of the store to inform him of the problem, or can actually dispatch the repairman to the location.
It's sorta like the commercial for the refridgerator, where the guy comes to the door saying the Big Fred sent him to fix the fridge, but the woman says it's not broken. He says, not yet, with a knowing smile.
The idea can also to used with a database to monitor things like compressor duty cycle and predict failure.
I thought the name was kind of ominous, but only one other person at the meeting (suits, I was the lone real person) had heard of it.
I don't know, but I thought the plot was interesting enough, with a few twists I didn't expect. In fact, I saw the movie twice. But then again, I don't like Bruce Willis movies.
*...maybe then we wuld all be laughing at Linux and cheering at Windows for being the small but way much 'cooler' OS*
I don't think so. It still would be the crappy OS, just fewer people using it, and more developers producing Linux apps (hopefully free software, as in open source).
So anyways, back to when the millenium starts. Would the last even day of the tenth millenium be on 8/28/8888? I ask because the tenth millenium would start either on 1/1/10000 or 1/1/10001. The next one would then be on 2/2/20000 wouldn't it? Wow, aren't we lucky! We get 36 or so Happy Even Days this year (and for a while too), but future generations living in 8888 will have to wait 10,000 years for the next one.
"The regulations appear to give authorities a powerful instrument of control over the Internet in the name of protecting sensitive government information."
Is there ANYONE in the media that understands that "The Internet" does not live in a particular country?
I assume this is total sarcasm, because from my personal experience, innovations and "Windows Technology" are mutually exclusive. Further, I really don't think windows has exhibited ANY "intellectual" anything.
Yeah, boring as hell. No sex, no car chases, no Chris Farley. What's the point in making such a movie. I definately agree that one should read the book! One of the most interesting sci-fi / social movies ever made IMHO. Definately better than 2010 with Dr. Floyd's "Dear Carolyn..." voice mails scattered wherever they needed to move the plot along. [But the atmosphere braking around Jupiter was pretty racey. But again, Floyd blows another chance to get laid.]
*And we have, of course, The Best Health Care System In The World!!* This MUST be another Canada, because the Canada north of the United States has extremely long waiting periods for most non-emergency treatments. And, in Quebec anyways, hospitals are closing "left and right". Outside of that, it probably is the Best.

Not only that, but now there is an $800 price drop on the PB G4.
:P
$800!!!
Check out MacMall and MacWarehouse for the sordid details.
I should got a Dell
gnome or kde.
it's on the website.

oh, I think they've got a ways to go to compete with emacs as far as the most features in any application award.

As I remember, when I tried that I was prompted that I didn't have a valid OS for the upgrade. I never was prompted for the 3.11 disk 1.
After the first time, I never bothered to try without installing 3.11.

No. Like you said later on, "Luckily for Apple, Aqua is a lot more then (sic) just a theme."

I was there, but I don't remember much of it. I do know that I don't want to relive it though.
