You can't put a second drive inside of it, BUT if 1 TB 2.5" drives ever come out, you can certainly swap for the original one.
However, you can just use firewire drives. In my experience firewire drives hooked to a Mac boot faster than the internal drive. If you want RAID, you can do it with external drives.
But the problem is more general. People abhor the answer : "we don't know this" or " we couldn't change this". Science has long since become a sort of religious status, where it's claims are total.
Uh, no. Science is very up front about what it doesn't know. I can only guess that most of your exposure to science in 30 second news reports by unqualified buffoons and politically-motivated web pages.
Meh, why must "vegetarian" mean only plants rather than primarily plants?
Anyway, if you want to really mess with vegetarians, remind them that mushrooms are not plants. Therefore, almost no human is a vegetarian (since most eat mushrooms). Right?
In WoW, you can play at the edge of new content, high difficulty rating, or just play casually through the game, low difficulty rating. You both end up at the same place. Those playing hard mode just get there a bit faster.
That's my question. The entire netbook industry, for example, went from its Linux origins to >90% shipping with XP now. What's the incentive? Unless they think they can sell more with Windows since its a familiar name and Linux sounds too technical.
I gave up long ago even trying to find something sexy in an issue of Playboy. Between air-brushing, filters (the ones that make the entire shot pinkish or blueish), and post-editing, you're no longer looking at a real woman. In fact it often almost looks like a painting, rather than a photograph.
And this is by no means an insult to the models, who are very nice looking in person.
Are you really surprised when most people justify their choices this way? Would you also be surprised to know that most people feel this way? Most people, when faced with the fact that the law isn't serving them, will start to ignore it.
The RIAA doesn't deserve protection under the law anymore. And as much as I'll get flamed for that statement, we're all thinking it, and we're all acting on it.
But if you want a non-inflammatory morally relevant statement - I've been paying taxes on blank media for years, paid directly to the RIAA, and THAT has bought me any free copies I want, of whatever I want. Because I've already paid for it. And so have you.
Perhaps because it's a choice. You get ads and free content, or no ads and paid content. NOW how sure are you that everyone will pick the paid content choice?
I also think ad-blocking is not really helping keep the sites you visit free. I generally only block ones with loud noises or seizure-inducing images.
If you want a 15" laptop the cheapest option offered by Apple costs $1700 as cheaper MacBooks have 13.3" screens. My 14" 1" thick 4 lb. 2.1 Ghz C2D laptop with a 7 hour battery life cost me $650. It's hard to justify this price difference even if the hardware is superior. Even the lower-end MacBooks which max out at 13.3" inch screens start at $1000.
Apple is sort of unique in that their 13" laptops are cheaper than their 15". Most other manufacturers are the opposite. Right now a Dell INspiron 15" starts at $400 while the 13" starts at $600.
When I was recently pricing out laptops, it was hard to get a 13" that compared with a Mac and was cheaper, but the 15" models, the Macs came out much more expensive. In fact many manufacturers don't even offer 13" models with a CD drive.
If it's a newer machine, you can just dual boot Windows and run your games that way. Plus, Crossover has done for OSX what WINE has done for Linux, and a lot of people are able to get PC games to play in OSX with only minor issues.
Not 100% accurate. There's some small differences in the motherboard, and I don't think you can buy a Mac Pro case from anyone but Apple. You can argue that the case is arbitrary, but certainly not the motherboard. Among other things, it defines what add-on cards (especially video cards) you can use.
All the other parts are standard though with the possible exception of CPU fans.
Really? Because I think the choice is either - no ads and you pay for site, or ads and the site is free. So now which one do you want?
I'm against ads with loud noises or flashy graphics, ones that cover what you're reading, and anything that tries to track you later. But let's be honest here. The site has to pay for itself somehow.
Disclaimer: I'm talking about sites that don't explicitly sell anything. Places like Amazon pay for the site as part of your purchases.
We've been bombarded with media telling us everything we do is unsafe, from drinking water, to letting our kids play outside, to going to the airport. Yes, a reasonable person looks at texting while driving and realizes it's unsafe. But a reasonable person also ignores when people tell him this or that is unsafe, because that's pretty much all you see or hear these days, and you simply couldn't live your life if you listened to everyone.
I guess what I'm saying is, we've created a culture where it's not only okay, it's a good idea to ignore media and politicians when they warn of dangers. Because every one of them is a dirty fucking liar trying to capitalize on your fear (even if they sometimes contain a small grain of truth).
Exactly. If a cop pulled you over because you were texting, he can give the "reckless driving" ticket and I'm 99% sure a judge would uphold it in court, if it came to that.
Agreed. Where I work, we can take personal time during the day for whatever we want. There's no rule against personal internet usage, even porn or gaming. We can even bring in alcohol if we want. And we're not "losing productivity" anymore than we are by taking a lunch break. If there was no internet many would read a newspaper or take an extra smoke break
I'm as upset by government waste as anyone, but employees being human and not robots is not the same as waste. They need breaks too.
If someone has the right to control and profit from their own image in a mass-produced, for-profit, magazine, poster, or other publication then the same should apply to games.
Except for the fact that you just made up that "right" and it doesn't exist.
Unless you think the Paparazzi pays celebrities for those candid photos they take. Or everyone who ever wrote a biography of a president paid that president a portion of their earnings.
How is that different than a political cartoon of Obama hugging a pig or something similar? You don't have to pay Obama, nor does he have a say in whether or not the cartoon can be printed.

You wouldn't need a server to do this. Turn on sharing and you can access your entire iTunes library on any computer on your network running iTunes.

First thing that came to mind.

I can have 2 songs in my iTunes library called "Once". They're from different artists, so sorting is no problem.
Also, IANAL, but I believe you can't trademark a common word like "Twitch".
I would argue that no one should have access to it. There have been enough reports showing that it does not help stop or solve crimes.
The potential for abuse by regular citizens is just as bad as it is for the police or government.

Smart people are smart enough to avoid public service. Congress, jury duty, etc. Sad but true.
What most of us want is NO ADS.

Here is an article saying it was 37,000 in 2008. So, one is six?

Once you start bleeding, that blood isn't pulsing anyway, once it leaves the bloodstream.
Also, what causes blood to clot is contact with air.
I don't know, but putting my head on someone's chest and not hearing a heartbeat would be pretty freaky. So -1 for cuddling.
