It was most likely on a removable disk. This in itself is not a problem. The problem is one of A: There was an executable that someone decided to run without a signature. B: There was an executable that wasn't even supposed to be there that some retard decided to run. C: There was an executable that Windows decided to run for shits and giggles a la autorun.inf.
I think what they do is run ahead to first place, declare victory and stop. By the time they notice people passing them, it's too late to get going again. You don't design v2 when someone else releases something, you start designing it the moment v1 is finished. Especially in this market.
Ten years from now you won't even have to launch the browser. The OS will be the browser. Or the browser will be the OS, I'm not sure. This would reduce the PC to pretty much a thin client. Think Raspberry Pi hardware. Unless Internet connections get a lot faster (ping and bps) you won't be playing many games on it. They'll be left to consoles.
If you bought an Apple II+ before the C64 was released there's no point in replacing it, but the C64 was a much better machine. Like the commercial said, a third more memory at half the cost. It also had superior graphics and sound.
Here are my comparisonpicks.
The odd screen resolution was the hardest to match, if you can sacrifice a few pixels, you can save even more.
(Future Shop was the first place that came to mind)
That was back when Macs had PowerPCs to differentiate them. Now they're just overpriced PC clones. Schools have always had a hard on for macs that I've never understood. Do they get discounts or something? $200 off a $1300 $800 computer?
I didn't realize the iPad is more than a tablet, but you have a point. If you're playing catch up, it not enough to be "like an iPad". It has to be "like an iPad, except (better/cheaper)" There aren't really many important features on a tablet. Light, thin, good LCD and capacitive multi-touch are pretty much 90% of the deal. The Chinese knockoffs are going for cheaper though and, as usual, they go all the way.
Sodium sulphur cells are ideal for very large fixed installations. They're 89-92% efficient, made of cheap materials, heat loss is lower in larger batteries and cells under constant charge/discharge don't need to be externally heated.
The Bible contradicts itself all over the place. I'll leave it to you to Google it. If self consistency were sufficient for truth, you could pick and choose any old stories and combine them to come to any conclusion you like.
Possible? Yes. That cheap? Sure. An eighth grader building it? Yeah, with practice, or if he's already soldered together a "My first blinkenlights" kit. With no knowledge of the microprocessor? How would you know? You didn't even look.
I'll give you an analogy of how it works. Say you're screwing around with $CALCULATOR_PROGRAM. You click on all the right buttons, but right before you click equals, I unplug your mouse, plug in my own, click clear all and enter whatever I want. For bonus points, I unplug your monitor too so you can't see what I'm doing. Also, I'm a cheap microcontroller, so I can do all that in a fraction of a second. I don't need to know if you're using a PC, Mac or a Commodore 64.
"If you believe one of the Bible's claims, then you must believe all of them."
That's still completely insane.
I would assume that each text was intended to form a coherent work with itself. I doubt it would difficult to find one that describes both gods and miracles and say, Athens or Mount Olympus.
I was going to say just don't change your IP, but after thinking about it for more than 5 seconds, an IP has to have some sort of relationship with geographical location or else routing would be a nightmare, so you'd never be able be able to move your server.
In an attempt to save face, could DNS servers work more P2P rather than hierarchically? Servers that agree with already trusted servers earn trust, malicious servers loose trust until they are ignored. Servers can mirror more trusted servers to gain the same level of trust. The disadvantage is that you'd have to register a domain with a lot of trusted servers in order to get a sort of majority. Of course, this also gives the whole world votes on domain ownership.

Therefore, it's unlikely there's any threat.
This time. Now that the world know these machines can hijacked accidentally, how long until people start trying to do it on purpose?
Please. It's a glorified RC plane remote.
If you're running something from rom for security, the fist step is to make it physically impossible to run anything that isn't in rom.
Check the lower right monitor, it's XP.
Or you could add 6 bits to your key.
So they pay about the same for hardware as a commodity PC and get OS X on it? Ok, that's a pretty good deal.

A flurry of posts? I count one. As to intelligence and sexuality remarks, trolls be trolln'.
There are also 10 times more Windows users than Mac users. All else being equal, there should be 10 times more Windows fanboys than Mac fanboys.

Windows is shit. I thought that would be pretty obvious.
You're right, they'd also have to make an operating system that wasn't created by trying to use floppy disks as toilet paper.

Why doesn't anyone else take their laptops and add an aluminum case and 50% markup?

Solar and wind are cheap as dirt. That's why they account for 0.5% and 2.5% of global energy production.
