I'm always interested to hear about the CBC liberal bias. What would constitute a liberal feel good story? And in general how does the the CBC have an overall liberal bias?
so you still do not see the difference between your connection "speed" and the actual throughput? A benchmark would be going to a site that provides you with a bandwidth report of some kind. Besides all of that if you use a borrowed connection that is say 10mbps (most DSL in north america is 1.5-8mbps) you can't possible make a claim that you get between 22 and 33mbps. For the record a "52mbps" (802.11g is 54mbps) connection would work out to 6347.65625 KILOBYTES per second or about 6.12 MEGABYTES per SECOND. this would me a 60 megabyte download would be done in less then 10 seconds.
first it's 54mbps. second just because the little icon says "Connected at XXmbps" doesn't mean you're getting that in actual throughput. And you've certainly got no way of testing that with a borrowed internet connection (that is no doubt much slower than 54mbps). on top of that 802.11g doesn't ever get close to sustained 54mbps, more like 20mbps in optimal situations.
VMware does NOT emulate a CPU in any way. it executes guest os instructions on the CPU. That's why it fairly snappy. Virtual PC on the Mac actually emulates a x86 CPU which is why it's pig slow.
Evolution was accepted by the (catholic) church in the 50s or 60s (right around vatican II). They also accepted the big bang as how the universe came to be (of course it was god that made the big bang). They like to grab on to ideas now and again, they think they look progressive. Nevermind all the backward things they believe (papal infallibility anyone?) Public schools should not ever have Theology class, because the state should not have any responsibility in educating children on religion. And besides that, there would be *way* to many problems coming up with curriculum that everyone can agree on.
ADSL stands for Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line. Asymmetrical being the important part. When you are uploading you can't download and vice-versa. The switching between these two modes is unnoticeable at low usage, but as it increases your connection will start to crawl. This is especially noticeable on a system where you download a ton of files and then ssh into a remote system. you'd notice a big lag on the ssh connection...
there's going to be zero measurable demand to defeat Apple's tying and install OS X on a generic PC. Zero. If you mean legitimate market demand sure there'll be no demand, mainly because it'd (probably) be illegal to circumvent the protection. But every hacker/hobbyist/etc. and their uncle will be trying to get it running on their clone pc, ASAP. Unsupported OS? you mean like the millions upon millions of copies of windows?
the user space is bsd, the kernel is mach. so bsd drivers wouldn't just work on it. But they've probably designed to current driver system to be fairly portable.
fine to be wowed by engineering, but to go on to justify such a slaughter with "they weren't all innocent" is wrong. Many worked in factories that created ammo, bombs, etc. many also worked just to live, provide for families etc. I see no point in rejoicing that the americans developed it first and decided to use it to kill so indiscriminately. that would seem to be the same "logic" used on sept. 11th, when innocent civilians were slaughtered by cowards that thought they'd make a point.
Tell that to the tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children who lost their skin as well as their lives when the pride and joy of the Manhattan project was dropped on them. What does natural selection or fighting a war have to do with the slaughter of innocent civilians? Pride in ones country does not mean blindly endorsing everything it ever did?
that there is a great threat that will due great damage to the Free software community if left alone. Would you wait till there is someone in your house with a gun to raise the alarm, or before?
iMacs can have a 0 foot print. Their VESA mountable so you could put it on the wall or even on a vesa monitor arm. So instead of having a large base with a monitor that is movable, the entire unit is. Far better design then the previous one, IMHO.
much of his criticism is based on the fact that current cameras use proprietary RAW formats. Open RAW eliminates that. Granted a large percentage of photographers will never need RAW, but there are plenty that would prefer processing the image themselves and not have worry if they will be locked out of their collection next adobe upgrade or whatever.

yeah, yeah but it's close enough

so based on your requirements the design is inadequate for all users?

compile it before using it?
