Yes, exactly. Add to that an ICE has many more moving parts than an electric motor, no oil changes, tune ups, filter changes, ring replacements, bearing changes, cam belt/chain tightening etc etc. The ICE is the modern equivalent of the steam engine. Old and outdated tech that needs replacing
Just because your sysadmin is lost without Apple's GUI does not mean that Mac OS X encourages ignorance and obfuscation.
True but nothing in your post directly refutes that and in fact MacOS DOES encourage ignorance. Even the slogan "Just works" is reflective of that mentality because you don't want your precious customers learning anything about the internals of *their* machine, right?
Apart from that, Apple makes great hardware....for running Linux;o)
Todays terror is STAGED, just like the Reichstag fire.
Staged to turn you into a fearful jibbering sycophant. How can I say it was staged? Because of the fact that the most powerful military nation in the world was struck by a bunch of alleged rag-tag "terrorists" based in the non-existent cave complexes of Afghanistan, while the USAF and other military forces did nothing for over 2 hours. Because of the fact that building 7 collapsed in a style almost identical with a planned demolition even though it was not hit by a plane. Because I am a physicist and the official story does not make sense in light of well-known and used physical theory...
No, there is an oppressive price on gasoline not an oppressive tax, atleast not in the United States.
What's the difference at the end of the day? Benjamin Franklin wrote: -"the refusal of King George III to allow the colonists to operate an honest money system which freed the common man from the clutches of the money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution.", and I think if anyone knew why the revolution happened, it would be him.
You're not going to get rid of Microsoft, much as twitter & co. would want you to believe.
True, they're doing that well enough on their own. Vista has bad press because it is bloated and doesn't do *anything* better than XP or Linux and in fact does many things *worse*.
Vista's memory usage is actually a good thing, because it uses it for precaching much used applications. Empty ram is no ram.
It's hard to elucidate on how many levels that this statement is wrong. Guess you bought the FUD along with your mega-quantities of "no-RAM". I bet you think the bogus "UAC" and the constant access to HDD are good things as well.
Lets hope that this will be the year of the Vista desktop as their first release wasn't ready for Grandma Mabel. That Linux cancer is taking over....
Other than that Steve Ballmer and Microsoft can go fuck themselves sideways with their shit software. I'm glad I've never given them a cent and never will
There are simply too many people and there isn't enough wealth in the world.
What utter bullshit
There is plenty of land and food to feed everyone. There may not be enough "wealth" (whatever that is) to satisfy all the greedy motherfuckers out there, but there are ample resources to provide the basics for everybody
Go back to spreading FUD about global warming or climate change or whatever the fuck the FUD spreaders are calling it now
I tells ya, it's fucking painful reading some comments on/. where you will see something like "I went their and there grammar was awful!". Those two words MEAN 2 DIFFERENT FUCKING THINGS. Dicks like the GP just don't get it and it does make people wince. It's like listening to people for whom English is a second language
Like I said I couldn't agree more and am memorising the above post to use in arguments with dumbasses that just don't get it
Well I was going to until I saw how you spelled "pursuit";o), but seriously, well played sir, the rest of that post was some damned fine pants
I'm going to take issue with this. Basically you're saying if you can't do X, then your critique is useless.
But mostly it is meaningless if you don't know something about what you're talking about. I cannot sing at a professional level but I have received some singing training, therefore my critique is more useful to the recipient. Likewise with software, I can code to a reasonable level but not well enough to write commercial software, so I DON'T ANNOY PEOPLE who write OSS with "critiques" like "this / that sucks", I would be more likely to offer helpful suggestions. What you pass of as "critique" would be, by definition, unhelpful criticism.

EVs have been around for at least a hundred years. THere is no part of EV tech that is young. Do your research.

Ahh, I see your mistake. You're arguing logic and facts with a libertarian. ...
That and he's talking a pile of shit. Do some experimental verification sometime.
Unless, of course, it's true and he really *did* save a project from disaster.
While I mostly agree, I rated him as the lead in "A Scanner Darkly"
JION THE NAVY?
yep
the "coward" description is particularly apt.
It does with Linux ;o)
if they still vista business + xp license together they're still selling a copy of vista
I see English is your second language.
Are they afraid their new employees are going to use their 1337 h4x0r skills to steal company info? That's retarded thinking at a tech company.
That's because Tech companies are full of retards who know about tech...and...nothing...else.
To paraphrase "never let the truth get in the way of a good story, especially if it complicates the issue!"
Yes. It's called "slashdot"

and all this requires, as happened on 9/11, is for the people in a supervisory / protective role to do nothing while it's happening.
And then they get a promotion and or a raise

Does this years version of office even look like last years?
No. Last years shit has turned white. This years is still brown and smelly.
The one thing that MS has going for it is a complete lack of understanding of "open source" by upper management of many companies.
I think it will backfire because of the assumption that everybody will buy the FUD.
