but if you look at the chart, screen size would actually be better the larger it is (while the rest of the packaging stays small). but they rate the smaller screen as better... oops.

finally, someone else that chuckles at the apple ads.
and for the record, I hate the "feature" of slashdot that won't let you post after X mins when you just posted, and then it waits N seconds after you select reply before it lets you go.
I'm aware that it does this to prevent spamming and bots being set up to post, but it is too sensitive now and the worst part is that the textbox gets cleared, so you lose what you wrote. which in my case is *always* brilliant.
As Bruce Schniidreifeirerer (could never get that last name right) says (in some manner):
there will still be some idiot with their password written on a post it on their computer, so no matter how much you fix and patch, there is always a dumber user.
guns are more along those lines, or genocide.
this is just something that goes against one of their agendas, but there are plenty of ways around it... like bringing on a bomb, then they have a guided missile for free (cost of bomb I guess).
you need the right combination of it and oxygen, and it needs to be under pressure... but I'll bet like 8billion other people on here have said that already.
tehy just want control over the net. they don't have it now and porn is an easy way to get the conservatives on board and behind gov't regulation. America one of the only countries that won't allow minors to see or know about sex, but let's them see death and pain in everyday life - on tv, in games, in movies.
okay, the hating something without chekcing if it is compatible is a bit silly. I went to their website and read to see if it was compatible. I asked 3 mac "gurus" (as all assholes that like macs tend to think they are), and I looked all over the website. nothing indicated that it would not work, and the photo they show is a pcmcia card - which would have worked. When you buy the product, it is a pcmcia card on a much larger board. I called them and they told me it wouldn't work.... what's the point of having web purchasing if you need to call to see if it works.
I love how my post got rated down b/c I dislike the product discussed, slashdot is funny that way... then again, you have to realise the ratings don't mean much either.
as for speed differences in '95 - I had a P90 with 32 megs ram running Win95 and it was WAAAAAY faster than my roommate's powermac (not sure of the number, but it was 7000's) - and he even said so - and he is a major mac zealot - he said even then "wait until darwin" - and my pc was far cheaper than his, and the components were too (his ram cost 3 times as much as mine, and that was back when ram was "cheap" if it was $3 a meg). and the funniest thing (not funny when you were using it) was that mac at the time couldn't multitask - so I'd set his e-mail sound to "stairway to heaven" and he couldn't do anything else until it was done playing. so I'd send him a lot of e-mail.
the reason I don't like the keyboard is exactly what I said - I grew up using a pc, so the fact that the mac keyboard is different and thereby non-intuituve, it is annoying as hell to me that I can no longer touch type using it.
people get all worked up over 99.n% and they rarely take into consideration what that would mean with the sample size they are looking at.
AIDS tests is one example we reviewed in college I recall in my stats class when this was covered.
I've grown up using pc's all the way back to 8088 and playing empire on it. so I am aware that is likely my bias towards apple's (I used the apple ][ (I think "e") and played the old school wolfenstein back in the day. that was different.
I used my roommate's computer the first few months of freshman year in '95 and hated it. I've always hated macs. I hate the keyboards, I hate the mice, I hated the way the system worked, and I hated the speed. I hated the price, I hated the way everything cost more for them.
then they came out with the shiny titanium laptop with a screen the size of a football field. I want it. I hate the aqua desktop, but I've used my friend's when he had it at work (new iBook) and I like the unix side of it (have run linux on at least one of my boxes since early '96 close to OG, not quite). I have a very hard time getting over the lack of buttons on the laptop, and I hate the keyboard. I'm told that I can add a ms natural keyboard to it and a trackball or a laser mouse like I want... that helps, but then I have extra crap, something that defeats the purpose of the laptop.
then I bought an airport from them for my girlfriend's mac laptop (which I hate - one of the first G3 laptops when they cost like 50 grand). it of course didn't work - in all the pictures they showed, it looked like a pcmcia card. it isn't. they say it works with most new ones... not defining what a "new" one is and since I'm not a mac person, didn't know her's wasn't new enough. so I had to return it - they wanted to charge me a 10% resotocking fee (for opening the box that I couldn't see through so that I could see the card wouldn't work), and I had to pay for shipping back (I yelled and whined and they waived the 10%).
so now I'm torn. I've hated macs for so long, and nothing they could do would work. but the combination of the unix, and the shiny laptop... drool. but I hate them. and they suck, their service sucks, and I hate them (but I must admit, the airport card did get to me fast).
I buy nearly ALL of my computer parts off of priceline - find the cheapest and get it.
but I've started buying my memory off of crucial due to the higher quality, and barely higher price. It is more of a crapshoot if you soley go the pricewatch way. I used to do that and scoff at those that did otherwise, but then got burned muliple times with crap.
which would mean you shifted the alph so that d was the first char and then moved on from there... should have taken me 2 mins to break, but I was thinking too big from previous harder ones....
hmmm, curious as to why one would want to do that? I suppose to make it look like you are using asp, when in reality you are using the much faster php. either way I guess....
if it wasn't late, I'd download the gutenberg webster dictionary, and then parse it for 7 letter words and then narrow it down to the 7 and maybe 8 letter combos it would start with and then match from there on the repetition pattern within.
or your sig is just nonsensical. I'm also currently too lazy to do the check to see the liklihood of it being english or even in the right format for such words.
. The files written by defendant were in the PHP computer programming language and the file extensions of those files ended in.inc and.asp. These files were not in the PERL programming language."
so there was an include file, and asp files... can php run with an asp extension?
I personally don't see what the big deal is wihtout knowing what the perl scripts were. I just think it is funny how they are making it out to be this hacker, and the guy was using some of the most basic things -and they aren't really programming languages such as they scripting langs (the perl people are gonna get pissed at me on that one but I don't mean it as flamebait, just as my opinion).
well, I thought that if you have many of these little ones, then they in fact become space junk themselves. if all is controlled well, then no prob, one goes off, or gets killed via space junk itself, then it adds to it, etc etc.
rodney barnes would be impressed - but do they get all the gold shiny foil stuff? (he always mentioned that in the talk I saw him present on nasa stuff)

that seems a bit off to me
news for nerds... but heavily slanted against various things, microsoft amongst others, and heavily sorted towards others such as linux and macs.

although the MPX variant chipset "coming soon" will have it, so those RAID controllers get the larger memory chunk at a time.... mmmm yummy
