You genius! The only thing Apple needs to do to win market share is build an XServe with a consumer electronics look, and sell it for 25% of the price! Easy as pie! OMG, I would so buy that!
Well, many people carp that they are prevented from switching by employers that prohibit it. That's why I don't have a Power Mac under my desk, for example. But I could use Firefox if I wanted. I did for a few days, got bored, and ditched it.
No, we choose to use Mozilla, Opera, Firefox, and the like... but we didn't choose IE.
Speak for yourself. I've installed Mozilla & Firefox at work, and I still use IE. Because I prefer it. Every time you try to switch someone and they don't switch, they've chosen IE.
Iduno what gourmet coffee is, but they certainly served espresso & cappuccino.
Dunno where I read it recently, but I'm pretty sure the current style espresso maker with steam piston thingy was only perfected (in Italy) around 1950.
My understanding is that due to the increased demand for coffee, a better cafe can do quite well sandwiched between two Starbucks.
We've got a Starbucks in my office building, and a Starbucks at the corner, and people still walk to Madeline's or Peet's a block away. They're chains too, but Peet's only took off after Starbucks.
I think it was the beatniks & hippies (queers), but we've had cafes and good coffee here in the SF Bay Area for a long, long time. I wouldn't know about any time before my parents moved here, but they had favorite cafes here in the 60s. That includes neighboring suburban counties.
However. In most of the US, Starbucks created a desire and a market for decent little coffee shops. It's increased the demand for coffee shops so much that it also increased the demand for non-Starbucks coffee shops.
Your existing responses are a little more complex than your question.
The reason that neural nets are not in common usage is because they must be specifically designed for the problem they are going to solve. That design work is difficult & requires expertise. Neural nets are not suited to every type of problem. But no, CS researchers have not given up on neural nets.
- Because Apple would rather live in an open world than in a Microsoft world. (Don't forget, Rendezvous is *not* an Apple invention. It's Apple's name for "zero-conf," and Apple never claimed to have invented it. Apple just made it popular.)
Right... but the guy who started the IETF working group & made zeroconf happen was an Apple employee at the time, and it wasn't exactly a side project.
No no no no no. That is not evidence that UPnP is insecure by design. That is evidence that Linksys' device is insecure by design. UPnP & zeroconf are for service discovery. What those services do and how they're authenticated should be up to the service, right? That's certainly how zeroconf works. Is it how UPnP works? How could it rule out security?
I'm not much of an iTMS customer (lifetime purchase history of ~60 songs) but having a CD-based MP3 player doesn't quite cut it when you're lifting weights, and it's already taken flight from the treadmill once.
I bet most people would consider you a pretty serious iTMS customer.
Many cable or DSL users need what is refered to as a "DSL router" which just serves DHCP and presents one IP address to the outside world. Depending on your service provider, it may be the only way to get more than one computer on the internet for a reasonable price. CompUSA sells oodles of them. The bigger Airport Basestation also serves as a DSL router.
Just for the record, you could also plug headphones into the mini-jack, though I find it somewhat unlikely that people would be interested in plugging there head directly into a power outlet, which is the impression you would get with this device.....
Agreed, but since it uses the Apple "standard" portable power adapter form factor, you can swap out the wall plug for a cable. Just like an iBook, PowerBook, or iPod power brick.
The no LAN port thing is a pretty big deal. If people have a laptop and a desktop, they will be left with an air gap between their Airport Express device and their desktop. Not every desktop has wifi.
Many home users that don't want their desktop to use wifi, or have a dialup connection, will wind up spending $200 or $250 on a plain basestation and $130 on the Airport Express per stereo.
And for those users that *would* prefer only the cheaper device, they were going to buy an off-brand anyway. Apple wins again.
I don't see how this is anything but a win. I don't see how they cut into their own margins here.

It's also in the mail client included with Office. I think most of us have experienced smart folders.
DRM!
Your USB key has a public key on it, and checks to ensure that the system you're on is a secure ISR system.
Then it uses your private key to grab your session.
Now it's a matter of hacking Intel's DRM.

Same thing here in the SF Bay Area.

No.
Next question?
Even if .NET is used for every new IT project, there will still be ten billion legacy apps that will never be ported.
MSDN doesn't look as good. Some of us just aren't going to switch.

Huh. I figured you'd have linked to a google search for A/UX.
Well, they're not hideous. But I'd agree with you.
And neither of us went to E3, did we.
Sorry, no, I don't think it's unique. But I do think that the post would be enough to uniquely identify you.
But that's irrelevant if you're posting publicly available information. So I'll shut up.
Coming from a family that includes three UPS execs, let me say this.
/.er, but certainly an SEC investigation could. I'm sure your family would appreciate better discretion.
You jackass. That's enough information that someone could get a positive ID on you.
No, maybe not some

If this is a troll then my name is Elwood P Dowd.

I don't understand why BTO only matters to anyone.
