Ah, the Grand Turismo Omologato. 39 made between 1962 and 1964. One of the most beutiful cars ever built, but its 3 litre 300HP V12 ain't gonna move it like a 959 moves. Plus the 40 year old suspension....
Don't own one yet, but a 400 MHz Xeon dissipates 40 watts or so and the latest 3 GHz plus models poke above 100 watts, a 3.2 GHz P4 dissapates around 85 watts, while a PPC970 at 1.6 GHz dissipates 40 or so watts while the dual 2GHz racks up about 95 watts alltogether.
You miss the point. She's learned how to use WinXP, not a computer. One should be able to say "save it to the hard drive" and have Mac users, XP users, Linux users, et al understand what you are talking about. You don't see car manufacturers coming up with new terms for or novel non-standard methods of filling the standard automobile gas tank do you?
Rev As will recognize 256 MB sticks, but they have to have 128MB chips on them (16 total chips, 8 per side). Hard to find, but they will work. Also make sure the DIMMS aren't too tall if the machine is in a desktop case.
You use Quark? OS 9 was impressively stable if the software you were running on it was well written. I've got an OS 9 filemaker server that hasn't gone down in over a year. But running something ineptly written like Xpress will bring even the stabalist machine to its knees. Running Xpress 4 or 5 in classic it will only bring down the OS 9 layer and not the whole machine (thank you protected memory).
I've used OS X since Rhapsody and have only once gotten a kernal panic and that happened when I unplugged a firewire drive while it was being written to.
Socialism: The means of production are controlled by the state.
Syndicalism: The means of production are controlled by the workers' syndicate (union).
Syndicalism is most often associated with Anarchism as its political ideology while socialism runs the gamut from democracy to totalitarianism - but by definition never anarchism - in this regard. Syndicalism shares a primary goal of Marxism - to create a stateless society - but, unlike Marxism, is unwilling to use state power to achieve this goal. Ergo syndicalism is not only different than socialism, it specifically rejects socialism.
I think the closest word to what FSF and OSS represents generally is syndicalism; "A radical political movement that advocates bringing industry and government under control of federations of labor unions". Not an exact fit by a longshot, but far closer than socialism or capitalism.
Think of the FSF (and others of its ilk such as the Linux kernal development ad-hocracy) as a sort of labor union and the parallels become more obvious.
I was correctly quoted at the time, checking the boards at Apple they have apparently admitted - in a non-admitting way - that it's a manufacturing defect and are now replacing them for the flat fee. 6 months ago they were refusing to do so because they maintained it was caused by abuse.
Excellent, I'll be taking this puppy in this afternoon; but this still proves my point. $310 + shipping is about the cost of Applecare.
I admin an office full of Macs, including about a dozen powerbooks of various vintages. I can't say it plainer than: Get The Freaking Warranty. They aren't bad machines, but they are expensive ones. One repair will repay your investment twice over at least.
I know from experience. I'm writing this from a TiBook 400 with 5 1-pixel wide colored lines running vertically across the screen. $1100 to fix it. Needless to say, I didn't approve the order (it's from our other office actually).
I think your and Bill Joy's perspectives are the limited ones. Do you really think that such technologies won't be developed under governmental auspices in lieu of public research? I'd much rather have moral types like Woz and Joy developing the technology, providing the info to the public, and distributing it to anyone who wishes to purchase the tech than to just have the tech in the hands of, say, the CIA.
I don't think you can stop scientific/technological progress without tipping the balance of power far, far to the State's side.
First, when you try and log off, you should stand a good chance of being told you'll have to wait another month or six before you can stop playing and attempt to log off again.
The reasons given for your missions should bear little to no relation to reality.
Massive extra point bonuses for securing oil wells.
And most importantly, if you die you never, ever get to play again.
The 80186 (and its 8-bit version the 80188) was also used in a few computers like the original Gateway Handbook and the Mindset PC. Still, probably much, much rarer than 8086 based machines.
So OS/2 was IBMs and Microsoft "bet" on 16 bit processors?
This is wierd, why can't the guy give and take credit where it's due? OS/2 was IBM AND M$'s baby and IBM came to M$ well after they started making 16 bit 8086s.
The difference is honesty. Science simply does not know what came before the big bang, and they will tell you that. Religion (well, fundie Xtianity at least) does not admit to ignorance in this respect and thusly is open to the charge of infinite regress (turtles all the way down).
Evolutionary creationism is a perfectly valid position to take IMHO although I personally do not share it. Young Earth creationism OTOH is intellectually bankrupt both scientifically and theologically.

Wether Solaris runs on potato chips is not the point, they do have a "monopoly" on solaris/sparc.
Exactly - everyone was able to make a cheaper PPC box than Apple, and Apple *HARDWARE* revenue dropped.
And worse than that, Apple's reputation dropped because of the absolutely shitty build quality of most of the clones. I've got SE/30s and IICIs that still run like champs here a decade and a half after they wre built, but of the dozen or so PowerComputing clones we once had half a dozen years back, not a single one is left.

Get ye to the store. MDD G4s @1.25Ghz start at $1299 now. There's your low-end Powermac. No bitching that these aren't G5s, low end PCs ain't got Itaniums either.

Basic difference:
Socialism: The means of production are controlled by the state.
Syndicalism: The means of production are controlled by the workers' syndicate (union).

Ergo syndicalism is not only different than socialism, it specifically rejects socialism.
To boil it down; Bakunin not Marx.
