You make a good point there. I have an 8 year old 266 MHz iMac G3 with OS 10.3.9 on it that still performs well. It's slow but it never crashes. I use it for typing in vi and running LaTeX mostly.
Why not leave the human put of the car altogether and have the cars battle the race out between themselves? That would be interesting to watch. Sure there will be a lot of accidents, but in a carefully controlled environment that should not be too dangerous. Bring on F0 I say!
I'm not too afraid of BSOD's (when does XP ever crash?) but does anyone remember those 'Go Larger' popups we had a few years back? What if one of the other teams puts them on your screen while you're screaming around the corner at 160 kmph?
That's why Apple stuff sppeals to a lot of people. It's something not everybody has. Buying Apple shows you're different. iPods are excluded from this of course. I mean, who doesn't have an iPod:-)
Simple. Force them to use open standards for document- and other formats so everyone can use them. Force them to open their API's. Then see if they can keep their monopoly.
I think for a politician he has a surprisingly accurate idea of how the internet works. I bet he has used it sometimes, and you can't say that of all politicians. Many of them just let their secretary do their e-mail.
That doesn't allways work. I know a few people who don't want to use FF because 'everything that is not MS is crap'. Meaning they are reluctant to try it because they don't know it. Which is very common in humans.
After driving through a red light once and another time wondering wether I had even been looking at the traffic lights, I decided to throw out my handsfree set. It's just too dangerous.
You can have a computer for a lot less if you buy second hand. For the stuff you do on public machines you don't need a 3 GHz pocessor and a very big harddrive. I have an iMac G3 that may be worth about 50 euros now. It's slow, mainly because I run OS X on it, but it's still very usable.
Al of the above is great, but many of those things you can still do as an adult. Yes of course, as an adult you know a lot of things the world can really do without, as the parent explained. But life as a kid is also not always pleasant. You get bullied at school or by your brothers and sisters, there's homework, puberty and lots of other horrendous things. Not to mention kids who grow up in unstable families, for whatever reason. In every phase of our lives there are hardships. You have to find a way to deal with them, and make the best out of life.
I find that as an adult I have more power to do the things I like, without my parents or other people telling me what's good for me. I can make my own choices in life, and I am the one responsible for them. I like that a lot. Besides, the toys I had as a kid where loads of fun, but in my job I get to play with electron microscopes, dangerous chemicals and e-beam machines! What else could an immature man wish for?
I bought a MacBook Pro four weeks ago, and I was a bit afraid of problems after reading all the horrorstories on the Internet. But I have no whine, and although it can get quite hot, it also cools down fairly quickly when it doesn't have to work hard. I'm happy with the wide screen, and the battery life (3 hours if I just surf the web and do email). The reception is comparable the that of the iBook G4 I had. All in all, I am very satisfied with my shiny new MBP. The only thing I don't like about it is the size; if there had been one with the size of the MacBook I would have bought that one.
I know only one guy who tried to repair his hard drive in our clean room. And that was not at the same time. So in this case it was definitely nor Ar. As far as I know we don't use Ar in our equipment.
I often work inside a clean room, and once I saw a colleague of mine have a severe hay fever attack in there. Tears streamed from his eyes etc. He had to sit down for a while to recover. He told me it's the change of environment (in this case from dirty to clean air) that did it for him. Very strange.
That is because we in Holland misuse English words all the time. You're right, thanks for letting me know. I also spelled 'easy' wrong, but that was a mistake:-)

I don't understand why MS can't just write the add-in themselves. I call this lazyness.
In my experience XP crashes a lot more than Linux or OS X, but that means about 2 - 4 crashes a year. I can live with that.

Jos Verstappen was our national (Dutch) sand- and tyre hero. He sometimes finished a race when he had a bad day!

Forbid the sale of M$ products that don't comply to the EU's demands.

I always wonder what the energy consumption for water cooling is compared to air cooling. Does anyone know anything about that?
How many paper books can you buy for that?

Imagine what you can do if instead of the 96(!) chemicals mentioned in TFA you use pheromones to 'enhance' your movie!
This is no science. This is technology.

Hey, everybody knows men usually never grow up. Have you ever seen a grown-up man? They're scary.
