Mac users are so embarrassing to have to listen to - or in this case read.
I agree, the Mac makes a pretty computer - but they are too slow for the stuff I do. but to continually rip on Windows is just pathetic and makes one sound like a little jealous dork.
that said, the Porsche design just looks like some sort of retro concept circa 1970 or early 80s if they could go that thin.
my current laptop has a higher resolution, and that is what I want, so regardless of what OS is on it, I just care about have fast the thing is.
When I was a senior ('99), a friend of mine did that with his system. At the time that was a PIII (maybe a high end PII, don't recall) and the main difference then was just a quiet power supply.
it was really quiet, but then, we listened to music most of the time anyway, so it didn't matter.
I always have my computers (at least two) going all the time, and I don't leave the cases on (never have), so mine are pretty loud, but cheap and fast:) After graduating college, I didn't have my computers up and going for a month and had trouble sleeping it was so quiet.
Now in my apartment, my systems are out in the living room, and my gf hates the noise, so I tend to actually turn them off most of the time now (gasp!), so I would actually love to setup a quiet system like this. Although I'm not likely going to be doing it until I move later (to Bermuda) seeing as I don't really want to bother with shipping anything beyond the hard drives that I have in my current systems and then sell the rest on craigslist.
Also - if you don't need to do gaming (sounds funny to say "need" in that statement), then a laptop is another alternative to having a very quiet system - I have always been impressed with how quiet the Sony Vaios are (Viao? whatever)
I feel like I must not be using my laptop correctly or something, or perhaps it is just my big hands. All I know is that as the screens are getting larger (Sony has that newish 16" screen now), I'm pleased as punch - but the small laptops are totally unusable to me - I just can't use anything on the screen (at least not without head splitting annoyance). So I'm assuming there is some other use for these things that I don't use mine for - perhaps bringing to presentations where everything is projector driven anyway.
When I lived in Rochester, my dad was good friends with one of the engineers that was leading a project on that at Kodak. One night over dinner at his house he shook his head and commented that he didn't think they would ever make it. Wonder if he still is on the project. He seemed kinda jaded at that point (1995 or so).
I'll definitely ask my gf and her mom, and then pass on any info if they have any.
On a side note, if another fun thing that the Scotts get (my family on my mom's side is Scoth/Irish) is an increased chance of getting MS if you live in a certain area of Scotland. The current thinking is that it is similar to ALS where there are a few different varients of it, and one varient is passed on by the combination of genetic propensity to it (and the Scotts have it), and then a virus that passes it and is present in the area.
My Grandma lived in that part of the world when she was young and that was around when she started showing signs of MS, although for a good while they weren't sure what it was.
My girlfriend's family on her mother's side has that... disease? disorder? Whatever it is, they have lost at least one family member to it.
Usually those that have it have a certain build - most obviously distinguished by large calves.
My gf doesn't have the build, but still doesn't know if she has it since, as you say, the test for it is unpleasant.
From what she says, this is pretty much limited to people from the Maritimes (where her mom's family is from), and the only real experts on it in the world are in Toronto and the surrounding area.
I just recall in my days of competitive running that I was taught at the OTC that people with genes from one side of Africa have certain body makeups and are mostly fast twitch fibers, and people from the other side are mostly slow twitch.
What does that have to do with any of this? The odd thing that they also noted was that natural red heads had nearly identical makeups to the fast twitch section of people that they studied in Africa. This meant that if you were at a track race and were looking at the top runners winning a sprinting race - the odds were going to indicate it more likely that the people of African decent (aren't we all if we go back far enough?) would most likely be genetically from the same area, and the white people would most likely have red hair. And once I started looking for it, I was impressed that it actually rang true - lots of fast Irish guys.
I've never seen much mention of anything pointing out red heads since that study until now - usually hair color isn't thought to mean much in the grand scheme of things (aside from my preferring blondes).
I'd guess PC users, but I'm biased since I see Mac users as bumbling morons from those ads that they run. But damn they sure have some sexy looking computers.
Is that the same Intergraph that used to make high end 3D workstations? Perhaps they still do, I've been out of the 3D world for a few years now - but I never really thought they had any of their own technology, just cool cases and fast hardware (other people's hardware), and solid video cards.
Well first off, let me just say that you had me at hello so to speak. I am a total sucker for those that write in all caps, and then you really sold me with the fact that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. After all, how many times do those come along? I'd say maybe only 5 or 6 times a year. You are incredibly generous to only need twnety one million five hundred thousand dollars. But, unfortunately I don't have that much money. I do have seventeen dollars and fifty-six cents. I really want you to have all of that. I hope you can overlook the fact that I'm several million short of your goal, but the key is that I try hard and I'm an excellent wind surfer. My company doesn't have an address as of yet, but we are really trying. If you would be willing to send me $500, then I can register the company name and also get a PO BOX for a year. That way I can have an address and then we can get this ball of wax rolling. In a similar vein, I don't have a bank account. I don't trust them. Quite frankly, between you and me, there are a lot of scammers out there that will just try to take your money - and I don't think either of us want that - we need it so that we can get RICH! Right? Lastly, I notice that you are a doctor. Can I ask you a question. I know that this started as a financial discussion, but I have a really painful burning rash "down there" if you know what I mean. Do you have any experience with this? Can you recommend anything I can do to make it go away? Please keep in mind that I only have just over seventeen dollars, and I want to give all of that to you so that I can be really really rich as soon as possible. So the cure for my intense burning pain needs to be free. And easy, I'm kind of lazy - hey, at least I'm honest right?
So anyway, why don't you talk to your people, and I'll... Well, I'll just talk to myself and maybe do a little rubbing "down there" and I look forward to anything you can offer me - you know, on the $500 deal. I really hope you can come through with it - if not, I'm not sure what else to do - I guess I might have to get a job. Could you give me a job? Not like anything sexual - just one where you pay me a lot to do very little... And maybe some golf. I like golf - do you like golf? Maybe someday you and I can play golf together. We could start out doing miniature golf - your treat, and then maybe once I'm really really rich with your help, I can pay for my own regular golf fees.
I can't want to hear back from you - please act fast!
Your's,
Johannes Kepler

What are your feelings on the reports of our nations impending doom, suffering the wrath of giant, fire breathing robot monkeys, hell bent on death and destruction?
Do you feel that horrible disfugurement, maiming, and excruciating pain are in the works for all of us, or is it God sorting out the good from the bad?
Do you know of any ways to thwart the robot monkeys, and if these methods were employed for good or evil, would it help alleviate some of the tension around your case, perhaps even leading to your eventual early release?

Do you feel that homestarrunner.com is more of an autumn, or is it obviously a summer.
Personally, I think I'm a winter, it might be my eyes.
is that traffic still sucks. as long as I can blame that on programmers, then I see no need to worry.
I think every city should have massive holes in the ground that reroute all city traffic in spastic patterns for years.
otherwise, life just gets boring.

I have the 8890 right now and while I like it, I would like something new.
I like the look of this phone if it is going to look like what the link showed.
this chick in that cartoon is hot.
Star Wars figures and Legos?!
WTF is that about?
I want to see a computer assembled by topless blondes that take breaks to make out with each other and have whipped cream parties.
Lego figures my ass.
I'd spend it all on booze and whores and then just waste the rest.
Friends and family would know how to find me - just follow the trail of dead strippers.

lol - at least I was aware that I would end up being retarded :)

yeah, but how do we know that it isn't actually larger than my current server case and he is just a giant?
so there.
Am I the only one that took a West Virginia sort of view on that description and had to look at the pic to see if there were one or two characters in the center?
I am far too busy with my daily routine and work -I want to play games, but my schedule just does not allow it.
This is so great, now I can have this thing play games for me all the time.
I feel like I am having more fun already.
Less so on the cell phone since I tend to avoid the phone whenever I can. But with the internet, wireless PDAs, computers, and I guess the cell phones - they have taken over pretty much all thought for me. If I need to know anything, there is no real need for me to memorize it, I just have to remember a pointer to where I can find that info in the future.
This of course allows waaaay more information for me to try to keep track of - or rather the pointers.
I attribute that to my constant desire to sleep.
I wonder when the first recorded incident of someone trying to "dry hump" said robot will occur.
I would guess within the first 12 hours of its deployment.
