*free* sure, but you might want to remember that you get what you paid for.
secondly, if his wife can't see the benefits of iLife, how the heck could she install IIS, or Apache, configure it and use it?
iLife also has iMovie, and iDVD, which are nice for showing your friends and family a nicely put edited vacation video, instead of showing them 5 bags of 4x6 pictures.
you're right about garageband, most people do not need it.
what i find interesting is how microsoft advertises "your potential, our passion" and show kids playing in front of a potential live audience. makes you wonder, what software has microsoft made to realize that potential, while apple has made garageband?
or maybe microsoft is just pissing the same koolaid over their users as they do with security...
why do you even need word perfect? one can type fine looking letters with wordpad.
windows does not however come with iTunes (sure it includes "disappearing border" WMP), iMovie (as opposed to "how many times can i crash a 299 Dell Box" Movie Maker), GarageBand (hmm Recorder?) a calendar, cron, webserver, ssh server, perl interpreter, and let's not forget the secure and tabbed browser (Yikes!!!).
However the 299 windows box does include a 2 button mouse and probably an evaluation copy of Norton antivirus.
thank you. i had no idea that cable companies pay networks to carry their feeds. i thought the networks would pay cable companies for the distribution.
I also seem to have paid for the cable subscription. But maybe you get your cable for free, so the only way for the cable company to make money is from the advertising.
My 50 bucks a month must be buying toilet paper, or 1 dollar bills for lighting cigars.
I swear to god, if all this no-ff-through-commercials and advertising bullshit keeps growing, I'm gonna buy me a VHS and learn how to program the recording timers.
i'm just trying to post before they pull the story back, so that i can score the elusive dissapearing post!
also, i was recently wondering if my chances to get a sucessful submission would be greater if i started submitting dupes. anyone who managed to post a dupe have any stats of dupes/original stories accepted?
ah, i feel honored to be trolled by mp3phisher, i've read your discussion with the professor the other day. anyway, like i said, iPod works with more than iTunes. i can show you how if you'd like.
I'm sorry to hear you got flamed. Some script kiddies probably got jealous.
I think everyone knows that this is a piramid scheme, but it also works. You just "hack" the system with dummy email addresses, and get the iPod.
I myself found it easier to buy a shuffle, than have to nag on my friends, but I've never heard of anyone NOT getting an iPod after sucessfuly jumping through the hoops, while I did hear of people who got theirs.
You say that most of the time your dual CPU is sitting there half unused. Of all of your CPU time, how much time is spent on audio-video manipulation, scientific calculation, or 3D rendering? Because that's the domain of uber CPUs, not gaming, word-processing, or the internet.
I can't really complain that my V8 is just sitting in the parking lot while I sit at my desk.

Well, staying true to his silent methods Mr. Freeman had nothing to say, but instead grabbed his trusty crowbar and walked out the door, without so much as saying "Goodbye".
Our reporter, however, believes that this, a second, or possibly third attempt by Xen to invade the Earth will be stopped cold in its tracks!
I think we're standing on the format wars battlefield and the point has tipped towards Blu-Ray. Ten years from now, when the format has been settled upon, we will be able to look upon this day and say, this is where the end of the wars began.
I don't think Apple by itself could have done it, but Apple + PS3 are like the proverbial 800 pound gorilla.
I've purchased one of those for a fellow employee, and played with it for a few minutes and it does have some benefits: your thumbs now gets used for more than one key, and you don't have to take the hands off the keyboard to move the pointer.
It scrolls very nicely and quickly, but I'm not sure if it replaces the mouse buttons. Those were a bit too far out of the reach for me, but maybe it just takes some time getting used to it, or using it as a one button mouse would help.
If it wasn't for it's outrageous price (150 USD) I'd give it a try.
It is possible thanks to their magnetic properties. Anyway, it's not that easy. Researchers say that the greatest difficulty will be with the reading of information.

To be fair, the keyboard is probably a ps2 and without the apple keys.
easy... you just plug it into the network and use it as a webserver.
ssh into it from anywhere in the world.

The advertisers paid for the spot?

I wasn't aware that something was wrong with finder in terms of useability. Could someone elaborate?
Hey guys, I got my geek card confiscated a while ago, and was wondering if I could have one of your spare ones.
JK;)

Microsoft is just trying to spread the misinformation by making consumers think that iPod only works with iTunes, which is untrue.

And all I found was a pleasing-to-the-eyes blonde chick.
She definitely does not screw up my eyes.
Make sure that there aren't 20 print jobs qued up on the "Microsoft Image Printer" or whatever their virtual printer is called.
That'll hose you down.
I'm sorry, I'm still confused.
Is that the old VW Beetle, or the new one?

Yes, OP was trying to be funny.

I sure hope the DVD will be available in japanese with english subtitles.
I'm not a big anime nut, but I just get an awkward feeling when I watch anime in english.
