Duplexing laser printers are actually quite cheap now. A few of the entry-level ones even have a driver that emulates duplexing by printing the odd pages first, then prompting you to reload the stack and print the even pages.
Yeah, but it still looks like shit compared to the actual textbook. If you factor in binding it, etc, they have you by a large margin due to economies of scale.
Guess where I have done the most networking recently? Online. Just like everyone else in the Facebook/LinkedIn/MySpace age. These are college-aged students we're talking about here. They are all into that shit. The boundaries have been blurred for 10 years, now they favor online.
Classmates, sure. But I'm not gonna Facebook friend my professors...
LinkedIn seems to be a more professionally oriented version of Facebook, so I'll have to check it out.
It seems to me that online degrees do not garner anywhere near the same amount of credibility that is given to a traditional degree. As a current engineering undergrad that has taken some online courses in high school, I can imagine using online learning to supplement classroom education, but it certainly cannot replace it. Labs and hands on learning require physical presence.
Also, by learning online, you're missing out on a lot of networking opportunities that you'd otherwise have with professors and other students. You can get to know professors over the internet, but it can't replace face to face conversation.
You could've saved a lot of money by upgrading the memory yourself. It's also possible to replace the hard drives in the MBP, though it requires a decent amount of work.
Of course, that's still no excuse for Apple to overcharge on upgrades.
After all, who has 500GB of legally acquired movies and music?
Apple and mp3 player manufacturers are guilty of this too. Even filling a 30gb iPod (~6000 songs) would cost $6000! (assuming $1 per song)
Kind of like how you can get Vista Home Basic, Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate, Vista Business Premium, Vista Basic Extreme Ultimate Media Center Pro, etc.
You are absolutely right, but the customization should be made after the purchase. I.e. you click the "easy button" if you just wanna check your email and surf the 'net, but the option for enabling advanced settings is in the control panel if you need it.
I'm having trouble parsing that statement.
Translation:
Anyone but the gov't == private industry
Anything but higher rates == lower or equivalent rates
So, you doubt that privatization of USPS would make mailing cheaper. I do agree with that; the USPS is operating at a loss to provide a convenience that is no longer really taken advantage of, and is mostly supplanted by email, telephone, SMS, etc.
BUT, privatization of the USPS would never happen since everyone would bitch and complain even more about how much stamps cost.
What also may be happening here is the baboon sees it as "a group of people goes in" and "a group of people goes out". one - one = zero.
It's a reasonable assumption to make that the group would stay together rather than split up.
Yes, but apple also provides free development tools for their OS's, both the iPhone and OSX.
Sure, it's $99 to register as an iPhone dev, but I was able to download the iPhone SDK for XCode for free.
Compared to the hoops you'd have to jump through to develop for a current game console, the iPhone is pretty easy. I don't see anyone whining about those, though.
If it's free, why would they bother with a DRM system? I think what you are actually referring to is the adware that would allow such games to be "free" (as in beer).

Yes, but OP can watch DVDs whenever they want on their TV.
In addition, you know, to the stuff you usually do with a TV, like channel-surfing.

Wrong. 20dB is 10x the power.

Also, didn't Apple just announce the new iPod shuffle?
It's 12" long and 6" around and it's going to go straight up your ass.
Your penis is a Pringles can?

He said a scanning back, which would replace film in a medium or large format camera...
MacBooks have Intel processors and can't support 10.3 or earlier. If the laptop is running 10.2, it's an iBook.
