no, the reason that Apple does not offer variety in configuration is that they understood a simple concept: "More choice equals less choice". (*)
Have you tried to order a notebook from Dell or HP? You'll waste hours undertanding the differences and trying to decide which one is the perfect one for you. And after you have ordered one, you will still think about "hum, maybe I should have bought the blue one instead".
With Apple there two choices: personnal use or business use. After that, it all depend on the size of the screen. In about 3 minutes your choice is made.
It's a very simple phone, with plenty of battery power and no gimmicks.... Unfortunately, it won't be marketed in the US since the customer "doesn't want that"...:(
I guess you looked the articles, but didn't read it.:)
Here an except: "Canada and Spain followed in permitting women to serve on military submarines.". Following the reference, you would have come to this: http://www.nato.int/docu/review/2001/0102-09.htm
Which states: "[...] Norway was the first NATO country to allow women to serve on submarines [...]"
"[...] Canadian servicewomen, on the other hand, have been able to serve in almost all functions and environments since 1989. The only exception was on board submarines and even that restriction was lifted in March this year. [...]"
So there is women serving in submarine in some country. I wanted to reply to the parent because I remembered the decision last March (I'm Canadian).
Games on the PC has had "HD" content for years. I remember playing Quake 2 at 1025*768! And we had 5.1 sound for some time too (my first true 5.1 game was Doom 3 in 2004). How come they could fit the game on a batch of CD then?
I clearly remembered seeing "Last time to buy this version on VHS". At that time, I just started buying DVDs. So I realized that they meant that there was a chance that the original edition would be available at DVD in some future.
Basically they just use ordinary DDR and use a pack of batteries to keep the data when the computer is powered down. The batteries have a maximum life of 16 hours. So this is for enthusiasm that leave their computer always on. I wouldn't install an OS on this since in case of long power failre you would loose eveything, but I really wish I could have one so that I could install Battlefield 2 on this. It certainly would lower the very long load time.:)
The producer of the show only grants your TV channel that right to "distribute" the program. The channel owner expects you to use its broadcast signal to watch it (fine prints at the end of the program + FCC regulation). The channel owner and the producer do not recognize the internet as a valid distribution channel. It is illegal to distribute a program on the internet. It is illegal to download a program from the internet. Nobody is the owner of the program, except the channel owner.
I know it's the same program. But the ways to get it are different. One of them is legal, the other is not. And that make you actions illegal. It's like paying the milk man, but getting the milk directly from the cow, without the cow owner approval. Maybe the cow owner wants you to get the milk only from the milk delivery man, where the milk is processed and purified (so that he's not liable if you get sick).
Purchasing something does not entitle you to do everything with it. You can buy cigarettes, but cannot smoke in many places. Did you ever sign something that said "I will not smoke here"?
Subscribing to cable does not grant you the right to distribute the program. Neither does downloading an illegally distributed program is. Try to explain this to a judge.:)
If you don't like this, you have only one right: the right to stop watching it. You are not in charge. The society you live in has laws. Ether these laws are right or wrong is another story completely.:)
As for my political agenda, I am neither liberal nor conservative. I just try to balance both points of the view. And I do believe and I want as much as you that the entertainment industry should change (and will be forced to change). But I wanted to point to the original poster that was he was doing was illegal, and that he's reason for doing so were wrong.
This is the same argument as "I'm too poor to buy that Porsche, so I'll just steal it instead. If I were rich enough, I would pay for it... So it's ok." etc.
If you can't watch it live, then don't watch it. Or wait and buy the DVDs. It's the current business model of television. Network does not make these shows to entertain you. They make these so to (gasp!) make money.
Yeah, I know. There this thing called VCR. But VCR is a glitch in the entertainement industry that was accepted. It was accepted because altough it is difficult to enterely bypass the commercials (you still see it, even on FF), and to distribute the show. Now with the internet and DIVX this is another story. But again a VCR recorded show and a DIVX of a show it two different things, and people have problem realizing that.
You know, you're just not fair blaming it on the parents. Some person should not be allowed to be parent, but that's another debate. And this guy didn't certainly choose his parents.
So I blame the society. It is our fault that we couldn't identify him as a killer and give him the help he needed. And that may include taking the child from the parent and put him in a better home.
It's been done already. I remember seeing at my Wall-Mart a DVD player (one of those cheap one from Taiwan) that came with an exclusive sneak peek of the Two Towers during the summer of 2002. I cannot find a link to this right now (try searching for LotR DVD on Google. You won't find something interesting!)
It's not really the storage cost that it the problem. Remember that on the internet, it's the bandwidth that is costly (otherwise Slashdot would not requires subscriber right?).
Can you imagine 1000 people storing 100 megs at the same time? Imagine the pipe that would be required!
It was already done. Spam as been translated by "pourriel", from "pourri" which is "rotten" in english. It's an even better word than spam if you ask me. Because I could always eat spam if I lost on an island. Something rotten on the other hand...

You didn't knew correctly, they are women on board submarines since 1995.
