I really doubt that Apple loses much sleep over Hackintoshes. They just don't have any interest in supporting them. Lion's installation "app" includes a bootable disk image and I suspect there are already Hackintoshes running the Lion beta.
Well, if you used Disk Utility to create a restore boot disk you use that, if not you ask a friend to make one or go to an Apple store or Mac repair shop.
about what people call themselves? When it comes down to it, you either are, or aren't, a geek. That chick can call herself whatever she wants as long as she is willing to treat the real geeks with some respect. That's all a lot of us want anyway.
I think it's hilarious that people are getting their panties in a bunch over this. She clearly meant that she believes she has an above average interest in history. She said she was obsessed with the Stuart and Tudor eras. Hell, she believes evolution and had the courage to say so without equivocating. By those two facts alone she is in an intellectual in America, even if she isn't a bonafide geek in the eyes of "real geeks" (which presumably are taking a break from biting the heads off of chickens to register their outrage on the internet.)
Dear "real geeks," get over yourselves. Seriously.
I'm sure they'd be happy to do it for you at the Apple Store. You're not supposed to be servicing the hard drive in the first place as I understand it.
Apple has explicit instructions on replacing RAM and hard drives.
What irks me so bad about this debate is that people on the fundie side are either simply willfully ignorant...
I agree with you, but what is funny is that I consider myself ignostic which admittedly is a form of willful ignorance. So I'm accused of just not knowing the Bible (or whatever, but in the US it's usually the bible) well enough. Of course few fundamentalists spend their lives studying the competing mythologies so they can know them "well enough" to make an educated choice.
So Fundamentalists use relativism to force their views on society even though they say they do not "believe" in relativism. Of course they do to a degree, because each person chooses what parts of their holy book to interpret literally, and which parts are merely analogies, metaphors or whatever. The more fundamentalist, the more literal, especially the fire and brimstone bits.
The MSDS for water (http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/w0600.htm) says the freezing/melting point and pH are "not available". I think I know those numbers -- doesn't everybody?
IIRC, the melting point is at 10.1859*pi degrees Fahrenheit.
One of my old history professors did his thesis on how African American Teenagers Danced to Jazz (?) in the 1930s in Philadelphia.
And there are people that are glad that research was done. Seriously. And how teenage African americans danced to music in the 20s and 30s is what led to how a generation danced to music. I love science, engineering and technology but there is a lot more to life. I think people (not saying you) that look at higher education's goal as essentially a trade school are, well, narrow minded.
... after forty years we should have detected something more conclusive than the "wow" event. It means that there are no signals to detect (either they don't exist or are so attenuated that they cannot be detected) or that there is some flaw in our approach to detecting the signal....
Seabreacher isn't a sub, it's a speedboat that briefly bobs below the surface.
True, still looks fun to me though.
Also, I was calling people like ME an idiot! I'd buy a proper sub if it would go down 50', hold two people, and cost me less than a car... and if the wife let me.
Guess I was being a bit defensive 'cause I was thinking "it'd be so cool to have a sub."
Why aren't they using their skills to make small personal subs for the consumer market? There's lots of idiots out there who would love their own sub,...
There are (really) small consumer subs: Seabreacher. And who are you calling an idiot?
But slightly more seriously, I suspect that there is not enough of a market for slightly submersible cargo boats to reap any economy of scale.
Judging from the number of cars I see with drivers blabbing on cells phones while drifting around on the road, people stuffing their faces, digging around the passenger seat, etc I'd say we've had driverless cars for some time now.
Yesterday I saw two instances of people texting while riding motorcycles. Unbelievable.
Remember assigning static IP addresses by the seat of your pants? Pull a number, X, between 2 and 253 out of your ass, ping 192.168.254.X, if nobody answered, go ahead and assign your new network printer to it. Hey, what could go wrong?
Actually, the practice is getting standardized: ZeroConf
I see one very obvious culprit, whom you didn't mention: people who accepted loans larger than they could afford. If the average citizen were fiscally responsible, this problem wouldn't have arisen in the first place.
Which is why "rational" economics and laissez-faire governance is a joke. Read up on behavioral economics, it's fascinating stuff. People aren't rational. If the real-estate agent and mortgage broker (aka authorities) tell people they can afford the bigger house (because it's value will perpetually sky-rocket and they can keep refinancing until they sell and make a big fat profit while living large), then most people will believe them.
.... However the Evolutionist Model is also not within the realm of actual science...
Evolution is observable and testable, so how is it not in the realm of actual science? Do some googling, you'll find a ton of real research that supports evolution.
This bill is not about what people believe, it's about prohibiting universities from "penalizing" students and faculty engaging in "research relating to the theory of intelligent design or other alternate theories of the origination and development of organisms." It's vague, short, and probably handcuffs universities to spend resources on research that "God did it," makes it impossible to fire/fail-to-promote professors that insist on focussing on ID research, the same for professors that insist on advising Ph.D students to do ID research. And now when some student chooses an ID based research project and does crap work, the university will have the onus to prove the work was crap and they aren't discriminating against the subject or risk a lawsuit.

On a related note, my banner Ad for this story was OmniPerscepton's CheckPoint.S "real time facial recognition software."

Oh crap, I'm rambling.
take a towel from the maid's cart. It isn't registered to anyone and they are always sitting there in the hallway unattended.
One question: Why?
The MSDS for water (http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/w0600.htm) says the freezing/melting point and pH are "not available". I think I know those numbers -- doesn't everybody?
IIRC, the melting point is at 10.1859*pi degrees Fahrenheit.
billions is this PR stunt costing us, and what is its invaluable scientific discovery to mankind. ...
Huh? How does responding to a few questions on YouTube cost anything?

Or maybe space is big...
Are people going to endlessly rewatch the few decent episodes of this camp space opera?
Yes, Mr. Anonymous Doofus, some people will.
Great news if you live in a part of the world where netflix is available. Attention /. editors, the tubes are global and so are your readers.

It's not just technologically that they (the government) are in the twelfth century. Here's hoping that the people prevail,
