And, on the internet, what's to stop someone from being a member of both Myspace and Facebook?
Friends. You need to have a social network outside of the internet to make these services useful. Naturally you will gravitate to the one that your friends are already using. There's no point in joining any others.
That said, in this part of Canada, Facebook is the one everyone uses no matter what socioeconomic class they may be in.
a computer geek and an ag worker can live side by side
As a computer geek and farmer, I wouldn't have it any other way. But if everyone decided to live like that it would be extremely devastating to the already struggling agriculture industry. It's best to keep the people away from the high quality soil.

driving prices further up.
Crops are sold below production, driving the prices up to sustainable levels would be a good thing for everyone (except perhaps if you're exceedingly wealthy).
We really have no idea how much OS X adds to the cost of the machine, but I think we can say with absolute certainty that it is more than $0. I'd venture to guess that it's even more than $129.
What is much more interesting is that Cocoa now works on Windows. If that ever becomes publicly accessible I think we could see the OS/2 situation again, but in reverse: OS X applications run on Windows, so why bother writing native Windows applications? And then why run Windows when all your applications work better under OS X.
The popularity of SUVs is interesting to me, if nothing else as a testament to the power of marketing.
It's entirely a matter of comfort. The seating in cars is configured all wrong. Most other vehicles are configured like trucks and it's much more natural. I believe some smart engineering could fix the problem the car faces, but I'm not sure there is enough incentive for the auto manufacturers to do so.
then you probably believed Microsoft when they said NTFS volumes never needed defragmentation
I don't have a Windows computer so I cannot back up the claims, but from what I've heard there is no real performance benefits from defragmenting NTFS as opposed to FAT where there is a significant improvement.
but what good does it do if you can't find the email you need?
That's what the search feature is for. I have over 4000 messages in my Inbox and I intend to let that grow indefinitely because it makes it ridiculously easy to find exactly what I'm looking for. There's no benefit to moving the messages elsewhere or deleting them, it just makes things harder when you want to find an old message.
That would only be true if your house number compelled most people to enter your home, like how Windows will automatically connect to any network it finds. Like the servant, SSID is telling any passer by to "come on in."
But in this case, not only is your door wide open (no encryption), but your servant is also there inviting the person in (SSID). While the servant can't speak for you, one can only assume he is acting upon your wishes.
While it might be legal to receive any broadcast transmission, it would be difficult to check email and surf the web without transmitting something.
But since WiFi operates on a public spectrum, I am free to send out any old data I want on those frequencies. If the third-party receiver decides to pick up my transmission and execute an action based on that information why am I to blame?
The people in the cities ultimately facilitate the farm. As long as the farmer's income remains constant, so will everyone else's. The people in the city only need to worry when the farmer has less money to spend.
Except the majority of that snow you speak of was a result of the warmer temperatures we experienced this past winter. Because the lake stayed relatively warm, it was able to generate snow squalls all winter long. Normally it would be too cold to support off-lake snow by late January, early February.
Warmer temperatures will typically mean more snow for the snowbelt.
I want to download a file that contains "Hello World" Another user has a file that contains "Hello John"
I can download "World" from user A, and download "Hello " from user B to make up the file I'm looking for, even though user B does not actually have the actual file on his computer.
I'm a firm believer in doing it the other way around. The GUI design should drive the application's design - the application's design should not drive the GUI design. Not only is it easier building the application around the GUI, the results are almost always better, in my experience at least.
Luckily the web standards are designed to degrade gracefully. If IE6 doesn't display the site exactly the same as Firefox, who cares? Especially, in this case, if you aren't making a cent from the DOT.
The ability to gain popularity and connections to the extent required for the job is, however.
Winning a popularity contest does not mean these people are rare and should be paid more.
Lots of people play sports. In fact I'm sure just about everyone has played some kind of sport at some point in their life. Yet, only a very few are good enough to do it professionally. The same holds true for the position of CEO. Only a limited number are good enough at what they do to be able to get the job. Because of the limited supply, and the high demand for that type of person, they are paid handsomely for it.
The reason they pay me money is not to compensate for my time lost
So, what you're saying is that if you never, ever, showed up for work you'd continue to keep your job and continue to be paid? If they are only interested, and paying you for, your ingenuity then that would be the case. It sounds like you've got it made. As for the rest of world, they are paid for their time spent using that ingenuity, not the ingenuity itself.
It's all supply and demand. If the majority of the population were only capable of being CEOs, the job would be a minimum wage job at best. The reason they get ridiculous salaries is because nobody fit for the job is stepping in to do it for less. The same applies at the other end of the spectrum: Low paying jobs are low paying because enough people are willing to do the job for that rate.

YellowBox, OpenStep, etc. are not Cocoa. Almost... but not quite.

Of course that's a good thing. When Safari is installed on every system that has iTunes installed we won't have to worry about supporting IE anymore.

A real professional will use the right tool for the job. If, in this case, that happens to be Photoshop there is no way he should be using the GIMP.

That's especially true of large design firms, such as Disney. Oh wait...
Trivial example:
I want to download a file that contains "Hello World"
Another user has a file that contains "Hello John"
I can download "World" from user A, and download "Hello " from user B to make up the file I'm looking for, even though user B does not actually have the actual file on his computer.

Be that as it may, those are skills that only the very few have. Thus supply is limited and value increases. It is still supply and demand.
