Imagine, for instance, if it was George Soros doing this to a small conservative-oriented NPO, meanwhile, he can spend millions if he has to to keep moveon.org from being outbid.

QuarkXPress 7 for Intel-based Macs: A new definition of productivity

The best part is that after blowing a mil and a half on this thing ($1.5M and he couldn't figure out how to get rid of the tether wires?), it will erase all your credit cards for you so that you can't be that stupid ever again.
Of course this assumes that said neighbor is in fact not just an antisocial asshole or delusionally paranoid, and that there actually is something specific going on causing a problem that can be stopped.
And because of DIVX, I only go there as a last resort, or to scoop up $5 clearance video games. It doesn't help that their stores suck anyhow, especially their ugly "diamond pattern" stores with that big whatever it is in the middle (I think they put sound demo rooms there).
I thought he was talking about collecting real games! I've got well over 2000 cartridge/disc games for various console game systems, some that most slashdotters haven't even heard of. (Arcadia 2001, anyone?)
Yeah, sure, I got some of those stupid cardboard things, but I get stacks of 'em at a nearby thrift salvage store. If I find a card I don't have, cool. When I'm tired of it, I'll sell 'em.
What's the difference? Those cardboard things were made to be collected, with intentional artifical rarities. The video games weren't. A rare card is often highly desirable when playing a CCG; a rare video game is usually rare because it's a total stinker.
Now it may be due in part because of the change in MacOS, the Macs in class used OSX and I'd never used it.
It was. Every now and then when I have to use the MacOS 9 Finder for some reason, I keep trying to cmd-click to select multiple files, but the old Finder wants shift-clicks. I'm sure there are other subtle changes that hit you the first time you used OS X.
That's not a laptop. He said MBP. The oldest laptop you can still run the latest 10.4 on was made in 2000. I still have one and it's rickety as hell and not worth buying a new battery for, but it's okay for web browsing around the house. It would probably be in better shape if I had gotten Applecare for it, so I got AC for the 17" G4 and 17" MPB that succeeded it. With Applecare, a Powerbook/MacBook will definitely last at least three years for about $10/mo.
But for desktops? A basic blue & white G3 will cost you less than it costs to upgrade it, such as the RAM necessary to fill it to 1GB. But I wouldn't touch anything older than that. Apple was making relatively crappy desktops before then, not to mention they won't run 10.4.
This is why you never buy the newest model of Mac laptop, and wait until it's been out for at least six months.
As for warranty, things that are easy to break and expensive to repair are the only things I get extended warranties for. That means cameras over $400 and laptops. Since I only use Macs, that means Applecare. I learned my lesson with a PB G3 Pismo (one of the last ones they made, no less) which had more than a few problems that Applecare would have covered. Battery died at 12 months (just in time for a shortage of replacements!), DVD-ROM drive died at 15 months, hard drive died at 2 years, the ethernet jack was unreliable because of bad solder joints (I had to take it completely apart so that I could reheat those joints), crappy yo-yo power supply with strain reliefs that didn't relieve strain (I bought a replacement yo-yo that failed too), and the case broke enough internally that it ended up pretty rickety. My PB 17" didn't fare so badly (for one thing, three years later both batteries still work), but as I posted earlier, the Applecare did pay for itself.
If it's a very high frequency noise as another post indicated, it could be resonance in a power converter. Most people over 30 or so can't hear tones that high (find about the "mosquito ringtone" for more info). Then there is the mooing, which was nothing more than bad fan control that would constantly turn the fan on and off.
I have a PB 17" 1.33MHz which had some nasty pitting where my hands went. Under both palms, with the left one being closer to the keyboard from command key usage, and the right one being farther from the keyboard from arrow key usage. Lots of nice black pitting. And I'm not talking freckles, this was an open pitting mine. Also, some of my keycaps were badly worn down (Z, X, C, V, command, etc.) such that the backlight would just show a big blob. Also, the plastic molding above the superdrive slot had broken because of the poor support it gets with the slot-high design (notice that the 15" has a slot-low design).
But its Applecare was about to end, and I needed to get it fixed for one of the latch points in the bottom frame disappearing a year or so ago. Then a couple of months ago the superdrive wasn't ejecting discs properly. I had taken it in two times before for superdrive problems, which I'm sure all were due to mounting issues.
Well, don't let people tell you Applecare isn't worth it. I sent it in to be fixed two weeks ago (having just gotten a new MBP 17") for the latch and superdrive problems, also mentioning that the keytops "looked like ass", knowing it shouldn't be too hard to replace them. I really should have taken a picture before sending it in, because they ended up replacing the both the upper and lower case, and the keyboard assembly. I really didn't care whether they replaced the pitted upper case or not, but I'm sure that it was replaced because of my superdrive problems. The lower case was replaced because the latch is an integral part of the lower case unit. And the bottom of that had been polished in places from sliding it around on my desk at work after the rubber feet fell off.
On the good side, my new MBP 17" runs a bit cooler than the PB 17", the fan is harder to turn on, and it's a quieter fan when it does run. Still, like my PB 17", it's warm enough on top to make my palms sweat. So I'm a bit concerned that it might develop its own open pitting mine.
It's take more than a good pagerank to make a name valuable. The name itself has to mean something. There are porn folks who'll buy a popular name just to grab they extra hits, but they're not going to pay very much for it.
Then I guess they should've named their project "Open Darwina". Oh yeah, open wide for me baby...
With a software router (aka your typical Linux-nerd router), the entire packet has to be read before the routing decision can be made. Then it has to be sent out again.
With Cisco, what you are paying for isn't the routing, it's the low latency of hardware that can see the destination IP address in a packet header, then effortlessly shunt the bits off to another interface in real time. You're also paying for the hardware being designed with 24/7 operation in mind, with little extras like watchdog reset timers that you won't find in that seven-year-old beige box.
