macs have been doing this since day 1. ms office "install" involves dragging the ms office folder off the cd and into the applications folder. "uninstall" involves dragging the folder to the trash.
It would probably be cheaper, in reality. They're trucking chicken guts in to the plant, from rural NJ to Manhattan, and trucking the oil out. The sludge of the sewer system comes in a pipe of it's own accord fed by gravity, probably reducing the total cost by 5%. Of course, you'd need some sort of "waste gate", as a plant like this could only realistically operate on 30% of the maximum sewer output constantly, so any given city would ultimately not be more than 20% energy efficient by using it's own waste alone. Now if you could somehow tap in to the heat of the city/population like they do in the matrix... *holds up a duracell battery*
Ah. I was thinking you had some sort of portible device like a PDA and were trying to fit more games on the device's limited memory or somthing. Very cool.
Well probably so that they can link directly to wikipedia.org when you click on the definition of a word in the upper right corner. Right now it goes to awnsers.com, which basically swipes the info from wikipedia.org - this way they're cutting out the middle man and promoting wikipedia.org, while at the same time enhancing the google user experience.
Try using Xerox brand laser paper. Not only is it dryer than regular laser paper (which in turn, is much dryer than inkjet paper), but it has chemicals in it to resist water soak.
Is it really better to ban P2P apps, rather than say, elastically give P2P apps 60% of the avalible (as in not currently being used by overhead of other things, port 80 and the like) upline bandwidth? Even with lots of acks and TCP/IP overhead, it would seem that 60% of the "free" upline bandwidth would still come out to be 15Mbit. (Which, I guess comes out to be about 256KB per person for 120 of your 200 users).
Do you have any "tech" to back that up? I certianly haven't found any. It's not like the MPAA or RIAA would have any legal grounds for suing them for the files going across their network. Initially warez was a problem, with the limited bandwidth of broadband "back in the day". With 8/20Mbit networks, you could trade everything you have and fill your entire hard drive in a couple of weeks and not really strain the network, as most files should finish not long after you click on them.
That's still strange though. While 1MBit upstream is nothing to sneeze at, I'm really curious as to the technical aspect of why we can't have 8MBit full duplex, or even half-duplex, but in each direction. Back in the day you could order 512MBit, and it came with 256Mbit upstream... which was reasonable, since they were offering the 512down/512up to buisness owners for roughly triple what the "home" upstream bandwidth cost, my guess being for website hosting reasons.
Nowadays it's cheaper to buy hosting at XYZ company for $100/yr and do it that way rather than host your own web site, and very rarely do buisness customers (I assume) go through their telco for webhosting, so it would make sense to no longer artifically restrict the bandwidth to home users.
I never fully understood this; the hardware is designed for XMB up and down, why do they criple the uplink bandwidth? Is this simply to convince the weak willed people to buy their colocated server space, or to upgrade to a "buisness" grade account?
uhhh.. what? I'm right handed, use the trackpad with my left hand, it only takes a second to tap the ctrl key with my ring finger and the button with my thumb. Once you right click, the contextual menu should stay open. I may have larger hands than you, but I think they're pretty average.
Because mac owners, unlike the majority of Dell owners, have brand loyalty. If you're a 50 year old male with a mid-life crisis, and own a 1999 Corvette (C5), you're probably very curious about the 2005 model (C6), as you're likely to consider trading in the old model for the new. Same goes for the Apple owners. Or harley davidson owners, etc. You'll note that most of the replies indicate current or previous ownership of specifically the Powerbook line. I own a powerbook, and read this thread. I don't read the iBook or powermac update threads, as I don't own one, nor do I plan on buying one.
My submission for this story didn't get posted, but this one did, which is odd, since mine included the other press release, as follows:
In today's press release by Hewlitt Packard, we would like to announce the aquisition to the full creative rights of The Ring (japanese version), The Ring (US version), and The Ring Tw'O'. As the old addage goes, "posession is 9/10ths of the law", and we intend to own all of it. A note to Adobe - your blur tool - you're going
down, bitches. Prior art our ass.
Actually Mac OS (called System) 5 or 6 back in the day used a telephone-style number pad on their calculator, but due to complaints, it finally switched over to a normal calculator style.
The digital camera market has already settled down considerably. Most every compact camera uses a standard 3.7v lithium ion battery (the battery in my Nokia 6225 cell phone fits in my girlfriend's Casio Exlim 4MP camera, and vice versa). Compact cameras also use SD cards due to their expandiblity and small size.
Larger cameras use AA batteries (like my Canon A80, and the entire Canon A series). They also tend to use the industry _standard_, compact flash, just like my Kodak DC215 from the mid 90's.
but yeah, if you buy the clearance item, crappy bottom of the line camera that's 100% proprietary and uses no standard items, you're gonna get screwed. I upgraded from my old Kodak (1MP, fixed focus, 2x zoom) to the Canon A80 (4MP, autofocus, 3.2x zoom) and was able to use all my old accesories: Recharable AA batteries, compact flash reader, and they were roughly the same size, so they use the same camera case. Until I could save up money for my 1GB CF card, i Was able to use the included 32MB card and the 128MB card I'd had from the Kodak. I'm still using my dad's old aluminum tripod from the 70's.
Yeah, you can let yourself get screwed by purchasing technology items on a whim, or you could spend 20 minutes researching and save yourself alot of your hard earned dollars.

Just epoxy a handle on to the Xserve and you're good to go. Screw the mac mini.

Just out of curiosity, what was it that you were needing to compress the rom files beyond a couple of percent?
and if it notices you're in a coma in the bedroom, it seals off the bedroom, since you're obviously not using the doorway

Replacing/cleaning the toner cartridge and/or removing the sheet of paper should fix all those problems.
Ah, thank you.

Thanks for solving/helping me solve this mystery.

if you'd RTFA, it states it can transmit a, b and g signals and still do 108mb on the "n-band", simeltaniously.
that's called free extra power
