I prefer Apple's performance over Linux. I have been using Linux for more than 10 years, and I still think it's not nearly ready for the desktop. Many commercial systems or programs still outperform their open source compatitors by far. Give me a phone that works, not one that I have to tinker with for a long time to get something simple working.
Whatever he may be, we know how the story ends, don't we:
Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers
grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the
fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own
image as promised by the
sacred words, and spoke
of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was
naught but a follower.
So why not dump a whole lot of this newfangled triple helix stuff in the environment and wait a few billion years? Let's see who's the winner then! Will it be DNA or PNA? SMS your prediction to 999-HELIX and win a spaceship!
Ha, so I'm not the only one who noticed. I got strange looks when I said that my iBook had a much better screen than my MBP, but luckily there are more people who think Apple's old laptops had better screens than the new ones.
I agree. My MacBook Pro has a really crappy display for such an expensive laptop IMO. From whichever angle I look at it, I never see the whole screen in the same brightness.
Here in NL we have a song about Piet Hein. He brought us the Spanish silver fleet when Holland ruled the waves and was at war with the Spaniards in the 17th century. He was a national hero back then, but in fact he was just a pirate. He stole all the silver the Spaniards had stolen from the natives in South America.
Compared to the cost of the whole mission the toolbag costs next to nothing. And people make mistakes and errors. This is a small but slightly annoying one. I think she's punished enough by having her mistake crawling all over the web.
Although I don't see pieces of faces, I also often have trouble recognizing people. And don't get me started about remembering names! I guess every nerd has that problem in a big or small way. My roommate, who could program Linux kernel stuff, was a lot worse than me, but he was a lot more a real nerd than me, too.
I have a friend who is so paranoia about leaving personal data on the Internet he doesn't even use his own name as login name on his iMac. Don't let him hear this or I will never get any pictures from him by mail anymore!
What a hideous crimes people commit these days. Poor Toyota, they must have lost millions of dollars because of these wallpapers. I mean, publishing a song on the internet, ok, it's bad, but a whole car?! Don't these people have any sympathy for a poor carmaker?
A colleague of mine once demonstrated his bad hard drive as follows: "If I want to load that file, it starts singing." And indeed, the hard drive sang like a bird, but the file was never loaded.

Me too!
I guess the MAFIAA lobby is very strong. Obviously politicians have no idea of the real world and are told what to say by their staff.
Does wanting or needing that make you a better President? I thought so.

"The RIAA's 'Prince of Darkness,' Washington DC lawyer Matthew Jan Oppenheim..."
How lang has he been Prince of Darkness? I bet not since 1979!
My MBP is quite old, so it has a cathode tube-lit screen which is badly designed then :)

I guess he wants to own the internet, just like he owns most of the mass media in Italy. Good luck with that!
We will have Linux on the desktop for everyone in five years. Everybody knows that.

Neutrino.
That one looks so real it's scary. I hate realistic-looking robots. I can imagine they have their uses though.
I looked around on your homepage a bit, and yep, you're definitely a Real Nerd in my book.

I guess you're right :)
The funny thing is: he buys a lot of stuff at the Dutch version of eBay. I wonder how he does that.
Weird, not only does IR light make your knees on different heights, it apparently also makes some black transparent but other black not. The black in her shirt has become totally transparent, but her black bra hasn't.

Whoossh!! That was the sound of sarcasm flying over many /.-ers heads.
I was going for funny but now I'm Insightful? Come on, please mod me down.
Success is a choice. Everybody knows that.
