That's not "fine," because FireFox still doesn't do it right, either. The Gecko developers working on it, but it's not there yet. Supposedly KHTML and Opera are both very near to fixing it - going so far as to have pre-release versions working correctly already.
Paul's probably upset because not only is Acid2 broken in current versions of IE, but one of the IE developers has stated that it will *not* be fixed when IE7 goes final.
Well, this new mouse is one big click surface; it determines the location of the finger pressing down and interprets it as the appropriate click. It would be a simple matter to do the same with the Powerbooks by adding a little trackpad circuitry to the button itself. In fact, I bet Apple will take that approach in the next PowerBook revision.
Not really. Without AGP, that video card's going to be starved for data the moment you try to use it anywhere near its theoretical capactiy. The 256MB of on-board memory may help some, but with anything that can make use of the FX5600 core you're probably going to have a lot more than 200 MB of textures.
On the plus side, since Apple is involved now, it's less likely that MS will get to be in control of the whole system. As much as I really don't like the idea of TCPA chips being involved with the Macintosh at all, competition with Microsoft may be a good thing.
I really wanted to mod you down as a troll, but I'll reply instead.
I don't know how they reached that conclusion, after all, one need only look as far as Job's daughters antics in the book of Genesis to see that the Bible is no authority on sexual morality.
1) Job isn't in the book of Genesis. If you want to use something as evidence, you should at least know what you're saying.
2) The Bible isn't a "how-to" book. Particularly in the Old Testament, it's a peoples' history. History with moral weight, both good and bad. Many bad things were recorded, and I'm sure many more happened that were not recorded.
In the same way, [white] American history involves many things we aren't exactly proud of today. For instance, the treatment of the native people is a source of shame. It's still in our history books, but it's NOT meant to be an example of what to do. It's more a record of a mistake we should learn from.
Well, MS has XNA, so most developers will be using Visual Studio-derived tools for XB360 development. I don't know about Sony's development system, but it makes sense to assume Nintendo will continue to use CodeWarrior.
Still, I agree with you in that I think it's ridiculous to judge Apple on what a future CEO might do. If we're going to take that train of thought, let's just assume that Microsoft will become entirely non-evil sometime next March as well.
Today the nascent Machine routes packets around disturbances in its lines; by 2015 it will anticipate disturbances and avoid them.
Is this some nifty new feature of IPv6? If not, good luck with that. After all, we still haven't made that transition; we've been using IPv4 for what seems like centuries now.
The Terraserver stuff was around LONG before Google started offering satellit imagery. Microsoft most certainly did not copy that particular aspect from Google.
Where do you keep your car? Most likely in a garage or car port. Either way, it's not a place with much in the way of ambient light. You'll not be doing much charging at home. In urban areas, most parking is in large, multi-level (and often underground) structures, where there is a similar absence of sunlight. So your car won't be doing any charging while you're at the office.
You're thus limited to the charging your solar cells could do while actually in the process of your commute. The hours most people drive are morning and evening, when the shallow angle of the sun produce sub-optimal light reception for solar cells.
In other words, for the way commuting works now, solar cells are a waste - at least in urban areas, where there is the most need for clean energy.

By the way, "kinetic" watches have been around for a long time. They use a ratcheted weight system that winds the spring whenever the tilt of the watch is changed, which happens a lot during the day for an average wearer.
They sure don't shout it from the rooftops, but this support request thread makes it sound like the BONE version of an app should be used in Zeta. There are otherreferences to be found, too.
Your analogy doesn't even make sense. When hunting you have some target. You have to have a particular target in order to set the PVR.
Yet another example of how any metaphor usage is invariably wrong.
When you hunt, you don't necessarily have one target. When a deer hunter goes out for the day, he doesn't have the photo or his chosen deer on a wanted poster. He has an objective - get the biggest, best deer he can. That's why it's more like channel surfing than using a DVR. When you're channel surfing, you don't have a specific target at all. You have an objective. Find the best show that's on, and watch it.
That's how Hibernate's supposed to work. When it goes into hibernation, the OS writes all RAM contents to the "hiberfil.sys" file in the root of your system drive, then shuts down the computer. It's entirely off; waking from hibernation is a function of the OS. The BIOS doesn't know the difference between a full boot from a hibernation wake-up, because the early part of the boot process is the same for each.
Back-ups. If only 80% of the ICBMs go as planned, you can still do a metric pantload of damage. The ones that don't launch properly end up somewhere in the ocean. If 80% of the Shuttle launches went Challenger on us, you can bet that would do a lot of damage to NASA's PR - and that's what their engine runs on.

Don't like coffee?
Don't like people?
You're not in the target demographic, nor are you likely to understand those who are. Hence, your opinion on this matter isn't very relevant.
one day Steve will retire, and I'm 100% sure he won't leave without ... putting someone in charge to do the business the way he wants things done.
Like he did the first time, with Sculley?

In all fairness, mine included a free bonus: a misspelling of the word "satellite."
It's new and innovative.

Even when they're given explicit directions, the mods get it wrong.
Well, it was a good year, I suppose. But I'm really just trying to get a head start on being a cranky old bastard.
Well, I'm young enough to have missed them the first time around. As such, I say why not?
Remember when the Discovery Channel was all about actual learning and knowledge?
On a related note, remember when MTV involved music?
And the Republican party was conservative?
No, it's not, because retards like the grandparent get the impression that something has been proven scientifically when it really hasn't.
King Bedevere does a better job of establishing a woman's witch-hood than those guys do "explaining" everyday occurrences.
I believe it's a reference to the "crossfade" option. If you set it to zero time, you get a fairly decent approximation of gapless playback.
They sure don't shout it from the rooftops, but this support request thread makes it sound like the BONE version of an app should be used in Zeta. There are other references to be found, too.
Not saying it's not true, but I'm not sure I'd trust MS to be entirely truthful about why they don't support a competitor's platorm, either.
Database filesystems, to begin with.
Good multithreading that extends to the GUI, improving perceived responsiveness.
Those're the first two my sleep-deprived brain comes up with.
I believe Zeta uses the BONE stack, not the old one that was almost universally derided.
