It's not DPI for nefarious means, if it's really DPI at all.
Even ancient versions of the Cisco PIX had the "ftp fixup" command which would see the outgoing FTP command to an IP, watch for the random port coming back and allow it back to the client dynamically.
Apple would be cutting its own throat to move the Mac line to non-Intel chips.
They could include a simulator/emulator much like how Xcode already has. Or embed an A-whatever chip on the boards as a secondary processor for that type of thing.
We had an old SGI Challenge machine, size of a refrigerator. It owed us nothing but there was user inertia keeping the thing running and in use.
I moved all the data to another box then actually took apart the old Challenge one weekend. Removed all the boards, 7 or 8 iirc, destroyed the hard disks and moved the machine to the shipping docks.
The various ~40cm x ~40cm boards are around the building in various geeks' offices (I have 4 here). It was a well made machine and would probably still have people on it had I not killed it off.
It'd rather science classrooms kept to science but... What would happen if a student answered "God did it" to "What killed the dinosaurs?" on a test and a teacher marked it wrong?
It's a big can of worms. Watch: once the creationist nuts see things going against them, they'll try to reverse the law.
Evolution is at the heart of modern biology and has been demonstrated countless times. If you really believe evolution has no evidence simple postings on slashdot won't change your deluded mind.
Do you verify most findings you "trust"? No. That's my point. You have faith that they're reliable. Trust and faith have overlap, and I'm pointing out that you probably use more of the faith than you admit.
The fact is, we could verify many of the scientific findings we hear about every day. If not "me" or "him" then other scientists who will confirm or deny the findings.
Religion can't hold up to even that kind of scrutiny, it must be taken as faith, no questions asked.

I remember using Archie to search for "warez" and "zeraw" directories.
Fuck I feel old now.
Thanks, I was going to reply and found you pretty much summed up my reasons. That and the link another fellow pasted.
:)
Don't call it sh if it ain't!
A longstanding pet peeve of mine are systems that symlink /bin/bash to /bin/sh
Pretty much any Linux system, for example.
So why was he giving an interview?

I'd like to see how that would fly in Canada or any other country with strict privacy laws.
This great feat will ensure tenure for the good professor.
... at least we didn't see Greedo get up off the cantina floor.
Always good for a laugh to us 'third world' savages. Where's your 'privacy policy' now, eh?
Glad to see the OLPC project is working out for you!
I don't mind the pain of eating spicy foods.
What I don't like is the anal searing I feel as the lava is being extruded from my quivering sphincter.
I eat habaneros and get a serious case of the Ring of Fire.
Yeah, we have some poor Vista users.
Not PCs but SGI machines...

You and I agree, but read the comments on TFA. They're the complete opposite of most slashdot-type posts.
I'm amazed at the comments on the linked Playstation page.
Some folks are (almost) calling for Hotz' head. And people think Apple's fans drink the KoolAid...
They're too busy typing.

There you go.
Kind of like English to a programmer. Imagine where Linux would be if Linus had commented the first tarball in Finnish.
People would be wondering why he commented his stuff in Perl.
Actually I find Dropbox to be very useful for things like ebooks and technical PDFs.
I can access them from my desktop, iPhone, iPad, wherever.
I save the MD5 hashes of all my files then delete the original. It saves oodles of space.

The knife cuts both ways: Science teachers are now free to say "Creationism is delusional nonsense" without fear of reprisal.
