SCSI Raid? IDE Raid? How about a TV card? Add a couple more giga-nics? Satellite ISP? There are limitations to what is available for the Mac, and what IS available carries the Mac Tax and costs almost double.
I think Apple is looking hard at AMD's upcoming 64-bit Hammer CPU. And it seems IBM is also wanting to sell them a 64-bit Power CPU. Apple will never throw away their PC platform just to take up the old 32-bit x86 architecture.
Hear hear. Diamonds are one of the most metaphysically evil substances we know. They are the standard-bearer of greed, and greed follows them the moment they are dug up out of the ground. Just a friggin rock. And look at all the glamor that surrounds them. Outside of industrial use, their true value is nil.
What a waste of bandwidth this topic is. There is so much news out there today. News for nerds, not dweebs. Sheesh!
Oh c'mon. There's room for dweebs, too. Many suffering Dell Insipidon users are thrilled with the info in this article. Lighten up!

An even lower form of life than the spod, found in much the same habitat as the former. though more prevailent on talker systems. Unlike spods, upon receiving the desired response to the question "Are you male or female?", dweebs will then engage upon a detailed description of themselves and how wonderful they are, often in the hopes of truly impressing the other with their "charm" and "wit". Nearly all dweebs are male, but very few actually live up to the image that they present. Dweebs, unfortunately, are often the cause of ill-will, and may well bring a bad reputation to the system in question. They are often, however, easy to wind up and can be the source of great mirth to the seasoned user.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh dollars come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth, by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying that them that dwell on earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a Department of Justice, and did live.
And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both play DRM media, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast could not play DRM media.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a cookie on their disk.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he had the cookie.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666 (William F. Gates III)
The discovery means faster-than-light travel, which is prohibited by the law of relativity, may one day be possible.
Doncha just love pop science? Too bad they didn't expand on this statement with glowing reports about wormholes, tachyon beams and anti-gravity bow shocks.
I agree. I also think that if the questioner told us why he thought it was necessary for him to watch his machine boot up, we would have come up with an answer that eliminated the need for him to stand around looking at the bootup screen in the first place.
In case you didn't know, in the US both Cable and DSL companies are government-supported monopolies. Recent FTC rulings have affirmed this. There is little competition.
Stupid and ignorant people with home networks could benefit from clever and informed cable network companies. Don't you understand that home networking is an economic opportunity for cable ISPs, rather than a trouble? The ISP COULD sell switches and install everything for profit. I have yet to see the government-supported monopolies that sell cable go much beyond a stupid minimal revise of the failed @home's Terms of Service, which was only a rewrite of old-fashioned dialup TOS.
People want and need services that the government-supported cable monopolies are too lazy to supply. Some want fixed IP numbers, some want domain hosting. Some want fatter upstream, some want home networking, some want to serve their own email or web pages. Some don't want ISP-supplied webspace of ISP supplied POP email or a newsfeed. These are economic opportunities for ISPs in a free market, but competition in both cable and DSL is next to nothing, and this absurd level of service is our reward.
Not only do they fuck Americans, but these corps are spreading to other countries and there are many copycat laws attempted which put the same chains on other citizens.
Clean the stems off of 1 box of strawberries and mash well. Add sugar to taste, maybe 1/4 cup, maybe less. Let it sit for a while, 15 minutes or so, then super-mash them again or liquefy in a blender. Then add half and half. Taste again for sweetness. Put in bowls and put the bowls in a freezer until very, very cold. Top with whipped cream.
Now, good pesto is never made in a blender. What needs to happen to the
basil leaves is that they are chopped, and not liquified in a dumb-ass
blender. If you get pesto in a restaurant or ready-made in a grocery store,
you can instantly tell the good stuff from the bad stuff by looking at the
consistency.
I chop up the basil with a 10" cooks knife and it takes a while, but it is
right and correct. The flavor bursts out when the pesto is chewed. That's
the experience. Blender and store-bought pesto has the consistency of baby food, and the taste
hits too hard before it is chewed.
About the garlic: In the springtime, green garlic might be available. If
green garlic is used instead of garlic bulbs, then we're approaching
nirvana. Sometimes Chinese groceries have green garlic in the winter.
What else? Some assholes put walnuts into their pesto. That's the lamest
flavor for pesto. Bad. You have to use real pine nuts. They should be
roasted a bit right on a dry frying pan -- just until their surface starts
turning brown. Even the pine nuts are chopped and crushed with the cooks
knife. Every piece of basil and garlic and pine nut is a different size.
Good food accommodates all 5 senses.
I almost forgot. Romano cheese and not parmesan. Everything should be at
room temperature. OK, here goes
Basil leaves green garlic pine nuts extra-virgin olive oil black pepper
Chop the basil leaves until they are a fine consistency, throw them into a
bowl and cover with olive oil. Do the same with the garlic and put it in the
bowl. Do not use too much garlic--taste for the correct amount. Roast the pine
nuts, then chop and crush. Add to the basil leaves and adjust the amount of
olive oil. Grate the cheese and add last. Add lots of cheese and add plenty
of oil to keep it mushy. It should sit at room temperature coagulating for
at least 1/2 hour.
The new OSX package looks very nice. Display it on your bookshelf and imagine of yourself on safari! The new spotted X logo (tm) looks very nice. The new eye candy on your screen might look about the same, but it still looks very nice. Doesn't that new iChat look very nice? Everything looks very nice. When you look at things this way, $129 for everything looking very nice -- the very nice core of your comfortable home's Digital Hub -- is cheap, isn't it?
Yep. Way too much unsprung weight. If GM goes as far as getting a real vehicle to try out, it will ride horribly with those motors inside the wheels. Cornering performance will be in the unsafe category. Of course, the car in the article is only a CG picture.
To be real, they could mound the four motors to the chassis and run CV axles to each of the wheels. That sounds reasonable. They could still incorporate steering and braking via the motors.
I own a small ISP, so I fully agree that it's within ISPs rights to limit the connection to only those who purchase it for consumer grade services.
Successful business follow markets and rarely make them. I suggest you look at your Terms of Service and alter your product to fit demand. Offer shareable bandwidth, but charge what you can make a profit on. People don't need a friggin' T1 just to share DSL bandwidth. DSL is the cheaper alternative. Why do you insist on selling junk ISP based on a 5 year-old product (the ISP of a bygone era)? Who really needs webspace? People may not need your email service, either. But some home or small business users might want to OWN their web servers. Sell them a fixed IP address and offer upstream DNS services. Don't try to control what your customers do, sell them a way to do what they want to do!
I'm driving a 1982 VWJetta diesel with close to 350,000 miles on it. It has the older non-turbo 1600cc engine and gets 52mpg on my local two-lane roads. Diesels last far longer than gasoline engines because the fuel lubricates the valve train, while gasoline is a solvent to lubricants.
I'm not all that excited about biodiesel because of the methanol needed to produce it. But I'm interested in a system that burns straight vegetable oil.
I think it is pretty lame to sell a machine with Lindows preinstalled and then not supply the rights for this click-n-run nonsense. I hope the people at WallyWorld will switch to Mandrake.

It takes at least 5 years to fight a patent. By the time you win, the bad guys have secured another similar patent and the game begins again.
I'm so sick of those Rubber-nosed 'alien' characters. I think the ST mentality has been milked way past death.

Yah. I think this is marketing PR to get people's attention off the new ATI cards. A bird in the hand...
