I prefer the Macweek article about Job's potty mouth. It was longer and also mentioned that Job's visit to the retailer's meeting was his first visit in FIVE YEARS.
That fact makes better fodder for the daily whipping Apple gets (deservedly so) around here.
It's about time the Supreme Court stood up for Christian values and against the heinous sinners who want to ply the internet waters looking for photos of fornication.
Now we can rest securely knowing that our Supreme Court, our new President and majority of Congress bow to one King: Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Get the truth here. And there is also a benchmark that shows a 500mhz G4 for what it really is: an equivalent to a 700mhz Duron (just keep scrolling down). blessings,
It boggles the mind to think of Apple's utter lack of manufacturing flexibility. Why shouldn't they offer a dual 733 mhz Mac for the Photoshop crowd? Even if they only sold 3,000 of them, what's the reason they can't make a profit off that? Same motherboard, same case, power supply, etc. Just a different daughter card.
Then there is the Cube. I wonder how much it costs Apple to make the Cube's case? How come they won't position it as a headless iMac (which it really is) and offer it at a price range of $799 (G3) up to $2,100 (fast G4). What if Apple blows $200 making each Cube case? What are they thinking?
All the other big-brand computer makers sell a 'slim-line' office computer of the Cube ilk. And most of them have a price-performance range similar to what I'm suggesting Apple do their Cube.
It's the device drivers, stupid. You can't just cut-and-paste BSD drivers, nor Linux drivers into a comfortable OS X skeleton driver and roll your own.
This really is a big deal since Apple only supports their own lame stuff in OS X.
The 13-month, or lunar calendar is a very old system. The problem with that system is, the moon is dead. The sun is the deity in this solar system, and the 12 constellations reflect the angle of nutrino bombardment which gave the ancients plenty of fodder to invent astrology.

Once you get into doing binaries, then some wussy boys will whine for rpms, then some want debs. It gets to be a real pain.
I guess if you are at beta stage, do binaries, alpha stage: no.
Screen shots are your biggest salesman, though.
blessings,
They send the letter or stop by in person to the executive head of the company, who more often than not simply let's them audit (search) the computers.
Company executives need to be informed that they should seek the advice of an attorney immediately.
They should never allow an instant audit. But they should do an audit themselves as soon as the jackboots leave.
I have a completely different take on Nader. He self-destructed the goals of the Green Party to capture 5% of the electorate by campaigning in the Gore-Bush tossup states.
Nader is a vindictive bastard. He was attracted to screw up Gore's chances in the tossup states because of the 'power' it gave him. But now the Greens don't get wads of free money for the next general election.
Any idiot would have put their efforts into the most liberal states, such as New York, Mass., etc. etc. to snatch a nationwide 5% popular vote instead of the close Wisconson, Oregon, etc.
The Clinton Administration has always said they wouldn't support the bill. The republicans thought their was some kind of weird patriotism aspect to it, and that a veto would hurt the democrats in the upcoming election.
So you would only believe him, if he was a poor preacher in sandals?
I would believe him if he walked his talk. Haven't you been exposed to the Nader mystique? He pretends to live on $25,000 per year, live in a spartan apartment, live the spartan lifestyle. Makes me want to puke.
And just because he acts like the system demands, he can't be serious about dislikeing and changing the system?
If he were his own man, he would live like HE demands, instead of being a phoney victim of the 'system'.
I personally don't give much about the person itself, (as I don't _really_ know them anyway) I vote for ideals one person represents.
He is just a sock puppet. The American Green party is not GREEN. It is a collection of saggy-bottomed left-behinds from the New Left (1960's) but which is now the Old Left. They have no environmental policy beyond 'taxing polluters' or 'stopping suburban sprawl'. They refuse to get specific, they don't have the creativity to address overpopulation, the real environmental problem.
Their stated platform is as nebulous as it is vacuous. They are skating along on the good reputation of the Euro Greens.
Nader has amassed a large personal fortune ($3.8 million) through funds siphoned from his personal collection of 'non-profits' and invested in real estate and the stock market.
HOW NADER PROFITS WHILE HE PREACHES
Did you know that Ralph Nader has a financial interest in Dick Cheney's success and has financial ties to Enron, one of George W. Bush's major campaign contributors?
While Nader attacks corporations such as Halliburton, Raytheon, Boeing, Ford, Phillip-Morris, Pfizer, MacDonalds, and Occidental as being harmful to mankind, he makes investment profits off of all of these and more.
What's the point, you ask?
If corporate contributions corrupt candidates, can't corporate investments corrupt candidates?

I traded in for a Matrox and the display quality is unmatched. Sure I don't get stupid high frame rates, but I don't need like supid frames anymore.
I need a crisp, high quality screen. I have it.

And said so in a typically vague amnner. Nader is not really much of an environmentalist, and only buzz-words his way through the issue.

He owns shares in a mutual fund that has Occidental Petroleum, among many others. Nader is a phoney.
He says he wants to tax the rich, but he'd never tax himself!

The FBI is a public nuisance.

No thanks. Throwing more money at bad cops will just make more bad cops.
The FBI needs a MAJOR housecleaning to get rid of their deadwood, clueless administrators. They also need a big spanking with an ethics stick.
Times change, crimes change. The FBI hasn't kept pace with criminal science. They are an embarassment.

Also, banner ad rates keep falling and big brand advertisers like Coca-Cola and Levis, etc. still don't run adds on the web.
When we put that up against dotcoms who rent huge, expensive, glitzy office space...
