The P2P developers need gun lobbyists on their side! Since when was a gun developed that took ?reasonable care? in preventing accidental death? The gun should be able to detect human presence and not fire a round! Yeah, it might cost a lot of money and time to develop that feature but we have to make sure that people don?t use it the wrong way!
Um, Have you ever hard of a company called "Glock"? Their guns (like the vast majority of others) are designed to prevent accidental discharge. You can drop one 20 feet with a round in the chamber and it will not fire. You can run one over with a pickup truck, it will not fire. Whenever someone squeezes the trigger, it's not an accident. It may be careless, it may be reckless, it may be negligent, but it is never an accident.
Um, so you're suggesting that a mac mini is going to outperform an Athlon 64 1.8Ghz system that you could buy for the same price?
No. I'm suggesting that the Mac Mini is going to outperform any other computer that I can fit under the driver's seat of my Camaro. The question was why not just use an Epia based computer.
The advantages of the mac mini are in the fact that it runs OS X and that it's small.
For me the advantages are that it's small and can power some kick ass visualizations.
When I worked for a satellite TV providor that I will not name, I had to sell foreign language programming. Including B4U (Bollywood for you), I suspect that it's due to cultural differences. In India, it's the norm for all prices to be subject to negotiation. People used to try to haggle down a set price.
The first few times it's not bad, when you get you're 80th call, it is supremely annoying.
When I hear of Bollywood, I think of cheap ass haggling customers.
Kind of like if you shake hands with someone today, and then again in 6 months. You'll still be you, he'll still be him, but none of the cells in your hands will be the same. From one perspective, four different hands would have been involved.
Acceptable my ass. I haven't seen a hard drive last more than a year since, oh, single-digit capacities.
If that's the case, seriously, you're doing something wrong.
My linux machine is using a 20GB hard drive that I bought in 1999. It still works flawlessly.
Basically, all new hardware goes into my main machine first, what comes out of this one gets passed down among the other boxen. So, most hardware is at least a year old before it gets passed down.
If you haven't had a hard drive that lasted for more than a year, there is something about your setup that is simply not right. Maybe you have dirty power. Maybe you shouldn't use your computer on tha back of a moving go cart. Whatever it is, such a short lifespan out of any of your hardware should tell you that there is something out of the ordinary with the way you're using it.
that thing had better give knowledge with the toast.

You have issues with scope.
The easist one for me is that with #includes, it's so much easier to fix bugs. If you find a bug or an inefficient way to solve a problem, you only have to fix it once. Everything that #includes the suspect file will be fixed on the next compile.
If customfunctions.h has been changed or optimized, you don't have to edit the 30 projects that you're using those functions in. Just the one file is fixed, each project gets the benefits during the next compile.

Well, sure, the Mac might have fewer issues driving a 30" Apple Cinema Display, but it would work perfectly well for the 6" display in a car.
I'm thinking more like a 10" or 12" LCD, maybe a 15" one.
Alright, I admit it. You're right -- the Mac is more powerful. I wasn't complaining about using a Mac, though, I was complaining about not using OS X.
I don't need OS X to play MP3s. I know more about Linux's internals than I do about OS X's.
An OS X car PC is something I've dreamed about sicne I got an iBook a year ago; now the only problem is that my car isn't nice enough to be worth it.
Neither of my vehicles is really nice enough for a car PC, but you have to start somewhere, right?

I recall they were used a lot on TV stations for titeling, but that was a while ago.
I still see TV Commercials that had their titles done with an Amiga.
We used to use it in high school and I'd recognize the tell tale signs anywhere.
Pro Video Post 3000 and a Genlock are still in use in some production environments today.

No Epia is going to handle numbers (Drive Visualizations) like a 1.4 GHz G4.
Next question.

Why on earth would you want to put Mandrake on it when you've already got a beautiful unix based OS with it.
Because I happen to like Mandrake.
And why on earth would you want a PowerPC box to put linux on? Bob

This may be just the thing to get me to buy a new mac for the first time in 8 years.
I'm thinking about Mandrake 10.1 PPC, a power inverter and a kick ass car computer.

You're correct. I just get so rattled when discussing those days, I can't type properly.

Thanks, I knew there had to be a catch.
Still, 20GB USB 2.0 and MP3 playback. I'm still going to think about one, but now I have more things to think about.

To be fair, one of the products on that page wasn't really written by Microsoft. They bought Virtual PC, Connectix did all of the heavy lifting.

That is a 9 inch Mac back there. This was back when Gates and Jobs were friends. It's entirely possible that Bill got a Mac early.

Last time we checked, SP2 was a patch. I'd like to see this unpatched patched machine of which you speak.
If you slipstreamed SP2 into your install and burned a new CD would any machine that you install onto be unpatched?
After all, if you didn't run any "patches" on the machine in question, one could call that unpatched.

The Spirit 20 is a 20GB MP3 player with an FM tuner, USB2.0 and a rechargeable polymer battery for under $140.00.
