My guess is that they will wait until the company dies. Then, if, for some reason, it fails to die, they'll sue 'em--and win, of course. Clearly, Apple has this one--this is a blatent knowing violation of the EULA by a for-profit corporation. There is no guarantee that that part of the EULA is even legally enforceable. Just because it's written in a EULA doesn't mean it has any actual force of law to back it up.
The Psystar system has a single Core 2 Duo CPU.
They don't say what the "similar, Apple-branded computer" is, but if it's a Mac Pro it's got two four-core CPUs. Since those would not be similar systems, it's a pretty good chance they weren't talking about the Mac Pro.
Hmm. Are you sure you want the government writing the textbooks? To standardize curriculum? Yes.
Currently local governments (or at least state governments in some cases) SELECT the textbooks, but there are options. Which is a dreadful disaster in many cases. Just look at Kansas and the creationists polluting local school districts to get their nonsense put into schools.
There isn't that much competition, but in this case ANY competition is a good thing. Yeah, you either spend $0 on one book or $145 on the other book, if there even is a second book available in the subject, that's basically identical.
Government written and mandated textbooks sound pretty scary to me... Is it for an actual reason or just the usual nonsense paranoia where we have to hate/fear anything that the government does without any rational reason to do so?
Why don't they wait for the free market to solve this one now? Because this is about education and not raking in profits?
Even Microsoft is willing to giveaway XP for free to secure an emerging market where Linux is the obvious champion otherwise. Which is an even better reason to keep them out. This isn't about securing them a new revenue stream, but to help educate children.
In this very article, when I click the red arrows to go to the next page, they go backwards. They don't for me and I've just tested it on 5 different boxes running Linux.
Plus the images? don't show up at all. Are you running no script or something else that could be blocking them? They show up just fine again here.
Firefox is shit in linux. You keep stating this and then giving examples that I can't reproduce on any available machine.
I have been using it for years and it sucks. Bullshit. If you had such severe problems as you claim you'd have stopped using it unless you're just an idiot. Since you're just trolling, though, it matters not. Get some better material next time.
Sounds like user error to me. I've been using Firefox on Linux for years with no issues beyond the hacks it takes to get 32-bit Flash to work in 64-bit Firefox. What exactly are you problems?
Try comparing them to the system requirements for something like, the latest Sims2 expansion pack, which is targeting the mainstream, casual gamer market. Because clearly high action MMOs and a Simulation game are clearly analogous.
First, the system requirements for both seem to be missing the "midrange computer from two years ago" that is the normal target for mainstream games.
Required
OS: Windows Vista/XP
Processor: 3GHz Pentium IV
RAM: 1GB RAM
Video Card: Shader Model 2.0 and 128MB RAM: NVIDIA GeForce 5800 or ATI 9800 Outside of the 1 GB Ram, the requirements are for hardware that is many years old at this point. The requirements don't even require a system from 2 years back. The CPU and Video cards they require them would have been old hat in a system back in 2003.
Any gain in weight over the normal composite material is far made up for in the fact that more and more non-composite parts can be replaced with these self-healing composite parts.
If they think steroids create an unfair advantage, why don't they take steroids, too? So cute and naive. You think they haven't been taking steroids for years?
I'm sure no parent would like to see their child in a digitally altered porn picture. Well that clearly makes it fine to send them to jail for it.
Although this probably wouldn't apply to those who are sick enough to put their dicks in places where they don't belong. Yeah, lord knows we need to lockup these hardcore photoshoppers. How can they live with themselves abusing pixels?
Ah, yes, that's right, a combination of long-term and short-term solutions is a terrible idea. Except that's not what I said. You asked what was most important not list everything that's important.
How could I miss that. Miss what? I made no such proclamation in my post. The better question is: from which orifice did you pull that from?
Slashdot Mirror
So it's apparently not for any rational reason and just the usual paranoia. Thanks for clearing that up.
But can it run Linux?
To the humourless mod, I was being sarcastic.
Aren't they only talking about software that people actually use?
Sounds like user error to me. I've been using Firefox on Linux for years with no issues beyond the hacks it takes to get 32-bit Flash to work in 64-bit Firefox. What exactly are you problems?
You're overqualified.
But I was just trying to help that poor Nigerian get his gold out of the country! :'(
Comcast?

You're not the one footing Youtube's bandwidth and storage bills so why do you care?
