The Belkin High Speed Internet Modem cable attaches your modem or home phone to your telephone wall jack and transmits 10 times faster than any normal telephone cable for a clean, and clear transmission.
24K gold plated RJ11 contacts provide maximum conductivity to keep data from getting lost.
This is a $70 parallel cable. People will leap at the chance to buy a printer cartridge that turns itself off.
"Gold is one of the most sought after metals in the world. So we have added this precious metal to our top of the line GOLD series IEEE 1284 printer cable, making it the fastest parallel data transfer available."
How can you argue reasonably with people who go for that?
You might consider getting a used HP LaserJet with a JetDirect. I did that and I haven't replaced the cartridge yet, it prints for my whole apartment (and a few friends far away with IP printing), and it makes a lovely coffee table. All for not much money.
Most Apple support turnaround is less than four days, in my experience. That and they'll often fix things that they notice but are not on the work order.
I'm not sure you got what I was saying: I fully support AAC. I just bought an album in that format from the Music Store, and I'm enjoying it right now. AAC was obviously the right choice: It has the DRM necessary to get the music labels on board. I can't tell the difference in quality, and I like the fact that it is supported on my iPod.
I, actually, think that the Slashdot community is a wonderful example of people who think they're important and relevant, but just don't really make that much of a difference to the world.
My favorite part of yesterday's presentation were Steve's constant, subtle pokes at ogg. He never said the name, but it was clear what he was talking about.
After I left AT&T for long disatance, they started sending me a check for $10 every two months or so. In very small text on the back of the check read something like "cashing or depositing this check will be considered authorization to switch your long distance service back to AT&T."
I wonder how many people got duped by that. Really irritating, too.
I loathe theming. The very idea makes all of the UI neurons in my brain fire in panic. I love Mac OS X. The 9 UI is nice, but it's dated. I used a Mac for ten years, used a NeXT for three, and now use Mac OS X and my NeXT. The Mac OS X GUI has some oddities, and the NEXTSTEP GUI has some odd limitations, but they're both so far ahead of other options, that it doesn't bother me.
The only thing I really miss is the windowshade feature. That and the ability to click on the menu bar to stop all system processing. That was more handy than one may suspect.
I have a PBG4 (previously had a Pismo G3). I have it set to "Standard - best for CRT," and I can't stand any subpixel rendering. I responded earlier about why I dislike subpixel rendering, but I forgot the biggest reason: I can't stand having color fringes on my text. Perhaps my eyesight is better than average, but it drives me up the wall when I see red pixels on text. Do people really think that that's a desirable situation? Twenty years of computers (nineteen years of Macs with lovely bitmapped displays) and people put up with stray colored semipixels on their screens? No thanks. I like my text crisp, legible, and easy on the eyes.
It looks good, as ClearType goes, but can you really say that you'd rather look at those blurry letters all day long? I have a PowerBook, and every time I turn on font smoothing, I get angry about five minutes later. It just hurts my eyes. I'd rather have crisply contrasting letterforms than blurry. That's really all it comes down to. A few pixels are more than okay if I don't have to squint at my words.

He's talking about albums purchased through the Music Store. They're $9.99.
And the guy we did vote for is helping run Apple. It seems fair to me :-)
Is that where the data gets lost?
To the $4CDN guy below, holy shit.
Face it, we're lost.

"To abstain from or act together in abstaining from..." Can you read that as anything other than one person, or a group of people performing the act?

No honey, you're already bald.
It looks like someone saw a glimpse of a PowerBook about two years ago and tried really hard to recreate it.
:-)
And slot loading DVD isn't really all that remarkable. Slot loading DVD-R/CD-RW is
Rock on, d00d. Proper spelling = conformity.

In some parts of the world, they're grateful for rotisserie mice, you insensitive clod.

I know it's offtopic, but please tell me that that's true!
Then it can track your child support payments on that convenient little calender widget.
They decided to sue Slashdot, instead. Can't win 'em all.
I received a spam about a product that might just resolve your browser shrinkage issue.
The line is crossed when you market it for killing humans.
Of course it is.
