The threaded messenger/conversation feature is a piece of crap. Great in theroy, crap in practice. It clumps auto notifications from forums and livejournal as conversations, hides "quoted text" which actually is the important part of the email...
Blah. But I like it other than that. Hopefully they'll have that worked out in the near future.
as for the firewall bit, I just turn my computer off and unplug it from the wall while i'm gone for more than a day. no point in paying for electricity wasted.
heat pipe's flow is dependant on how cool the cooling block is, and how hot the processor is. flow more air over the cooling block, and you increase the temp. differential, flowing more fluid. slowing down the fluid implies slowing down the cooling fan.
With higher resolution photos you can crop larger portions of the photo out, meaning composition isn't as important any more, and will glean a higher number of "good" photos.
You should try typing up a summary of your paper. It should be less than a page and any details should be left to be near the bottom of the page. The first Three sentences should go somthing like this:
We can save $X and improve efficency. Converting from Windows to Linux will increase uptime, improve employee morale, and overall make our division more productive and visible to upper managment in a good light. Here's why:
Talk in terms they understand, give incentives, then (possibly) explain to them how your division is going to make them look good.
The car's engine has been moved to the rear, effectively making it a mid engine. Using a Subaru engine, which is relatively short, allows them to fit it in the trunk, and use the transaxle that comes bolted to it (just wield together the spidergears providing the power to the rear wheels to make it provide power to what would have been the front wheels in the Subaru and are now the rear wheels in the Camaro). By putting the engine in the rear, it allows for proper weight ratios of a powerboat and allows it to hydroplane properly. It also makes for a nice, neat package, and in all honesty, you don't need more than 300 hp for a powerboat, good torque curve or not.
Also the pictures of it show an air intake in the trunk. It makes more sense to delete the engine from the front, as you need a place to put the front wheels (which are shown as retracted in the boat-pics) while it's in the water. Just relocate the gas tank to the front. Problem solved.
P.S. I have the mopar chip installed in my car (1994 1/2 beat to hell Dodge Neon) and have been to 135 and still have room to spare (drivetrain tops out at 152mph):)
Same thing for me, more or less. I think it relies more upon smoothness of the video than anything, though. My experience came from using my own software rendered counterstrike box (400mhz) to using a friend's GeForce2/P3 box a couple years back. I went from dead last (except when we brought in the occasional unsuspecting girlfriend or little brother to play) to upper middle of the pack, and kicking ass at Q3 instagib.
The 15" Aluminum powerbooks you mean? Personally owning a 15" tibook and reading up on other's problems with the tibook 15"ers, they seem to have dramatically less problems than those people with the ibook/"consumer" priced computers. Maybe those who can afford the more expensive models just don't have the time to bitch and gripe about their problems online? (I do, so maybe it isn't true:) ). Then again, the only problem after ~2.5 years with my tibook has been a piece of hair getting stuck in the intake fan on occasion.
Last time was probably in 10th grade, when they required that we use at least one book source, and four credible book sources in our english research papers. The last time I did an entire research paper using non-web/computer resources was in 3rd grade or so (circa 1992). Our school's library got encarta in 93 or 94.
why hasn't Compactflash completely obliterated the floppy drive yet?
you obviously haven't been on a college campus lately. usb keychains are all the rage lately. most people have 128 meg keychains, although 256 meg ones are starting to become more common. i bought mine, a 256 meg keychain/mp3 player. holds everything i need to survive. phone numbers, music, contact info, credit card numbers (encrypted), spare OS, school documents, and of course MP3s. i get ~10 hours out of a triple A battery for mp3 usage. there's even a slot on the front of every new dell for me to plug this thing into. also makes file sharing and bypassing xp's firewalls much easier at LAN parties, etc.
Yes. I have OS9 on my 256meg usb keychain/mp3 player i bought for $109 the other day. and all my school documents/100 megs of mp3s. any color screen powerbook can do this, too.
Uh, hello - they use unix terminals to look up part numbers, etc in every store. How it works is you walk into auto zone and say "hey i need an oil filter for my car" and they ask what kind, year, number of doors, etc, and pull up the part number for you to go find it on the shelf. There's usually 3-5 of them in every store. Companies use computers for things other than web servers....
I used to work at CompUSA (four years ago). We found a roll of those square antitheft stickers commonly found in DVDs and Microsoft software boxes. We then set about 100 of them, sticky side up throughout the store. Asshole (as we call him, the guy who checks your reciept as you walk out the door) couldn't figure out what the hell was going on when 95% of the customers (shoes, unknowingly) would set off the beeper on their way out. Best day of work ev-ar. To be 16 again...
Apple, IIRC, sells ~200,000 units each quarter. The numbers are posted somewhere, probably on a site discussing apple's stock price. As I understand it, IBM makes the G4 for Motorola, who makes it for Apple. IBM makes the G3/G5 directly for Apple. Back of the napkin math: G3 mac introduced in 1997, assuming (excessively optimistic) constant sales from then until now, puts GX production numbers at 5.6 million. Even with the sales of dual processor macs, I'd guess there have been ~4.5 million macs made with GX processors in them.
How about larger batteries? Long trip/etc? Lantern batteries are $6-7 a pop, and come in 6 and 12v varieties. Excessively large? Yes. Cheap? Yes.
Something else that has crossed my mind; using a small 12v battery (riding lawn mower/radioshack dual lantern battery) + cigarette lighter + powerbook cigarette lighter power adapter for those long plane rides/trips where you don't have immediate access to an outlet for more than 5 hours at a time. Certianly cheaper/more flexible than one of those $300 external laptop batteries.
there's an app for osx called notebook, or somthing similar. i'll let you look for it on versiontracker. sorry i can't be of more help. good luck to you.

Uhhh ok. Rented it from blockbuster last night. Along with suicide club. Rated R. It was on VHS.
