I just inherited two Lenovo T500 Thinkpads - one is running AVLinux while the other will soon get Mint loaded onto it - they both use the Intel Mobile 4 chipset which seem to work fine

this guy is either drinking too much of the Apple flavored Kool-Aid, has some sort of favored tech journalist status with Apple, or completely clueless. A hermetically sealed walled garden community of Apple blessed apps running on hardware that is also hermetically sealed?
I'll take a Samsung Galaxy running Android 2.2 any day over an iPad running a watered down version of OS X
exactly -- I succumbed to the hype and started an account when they opened it up to us mere mortals and I found it to be the most ridiculous bit of hype I've ever used...convoluted, confusing, yawn-ware...glad to see it go
I had a similar run in with Rhizome, the uber-hipster online art journal, around 5 years ago. They published a photo I had used for artist promotion which I had appropriated from an old IBM computer mainframe ad. A women who worked there found my promo photo on the Interwebz and used it as an opening picture for some dumbass article she wrote. When I confronted her about it she gave me some clueless arrogant hipster-speak about the photo being open source because she found it online. I wouldn't have minded if she had given attribution but it was coupled with an article that had nothing to do with me or my work and she never asked if it were OK to use it. Needless to say she is no longer at Rhizome. May her hipster-ass rot in soccer mom hell.

available mutations? mutations are random, mistakes, acceidental formations and are not drawn from an available pool of possibilities... also, yes selection is an important part of the genetic algorithm but without crossover and mutations the process has nothing to select...so they all play an important role in the process of evolution... peace
agreed 1000%...while not as spunky as OO it is a very, very good alternative to the crapware that MS Office is on the Mac. I also highly recommend supporting Mr. Luby by donating some cash to his efforts if you use NeoOffice.
doesn't it strike anyone as a wee bit odd that this anthropological research was conducted by a professor in management in VCU's School of Business? hmmmm...
"After spending some quality time sitting in hotel rooms on a press tour, it dawned on me that the technology now exists and is already in the hands of some of you."
- uh, this just dawned on him?
and "This is the entire thing bounced over from the actual Pro Tools session we recorded it into."
- I find the fact he did everything in ProTools and then ported it into gB a rather curious statmement...if gB is so rockin' why didn't he just use gB from the start?
- oh yeah, because gB sucks and he's only doing this for publicity...got it...
you can find used copies on AmazonUS for ~ 14 dollars US - I haven't checked other online sources for non-US but I'm sure you can find them used for less than 20 euros or equivalent

I have two Lenovo T500 laptops that have served me well, allowing me to easily swap in larger hard drives and more RAM as needed
it is not *based on* Unix - it has a modular Mach kernel that contains some userspace bolt-on's licensed from BSD
OS X is "Unix compliant" which is code for "OS X acts like and smells like Unix but it ain't Unix"

"...take money away from content creators."
you are obviously *not* a content creator or you wouldn't make such a misinformed statement

amen to that -- Mr Dell is a well known Ubuntu-geek and I hope he continues to work closely with Canonical
what the hell are you talking about? you are confusing dynamic compression with data compression
all Microsoft needs to do is figure out how to use this whenever XP bluescreens or crashes...then their system would work all the time.

in the press release TR states:
"After spending some quality time sitting in hotel rooms on a press tour, it dawned on me that the technology now exists and is already in the hands of some of you."
- uh, this just dawned on him?
and "This is the entire thing bounced over from the actual Pro Tools session we recorded it into."
- I find the fact he did everything in ProTools and then ported it into gB a rather curious statmement...if gB is so rockin' why didn't he just use gB from the start?
- oh yeah, because gB sucks and he's only doing this for publicity...got it...
I highly recommend this book as both an educational tool and a reference book for any math-geeks bookshelf:
