Sorry, Intel, but you're keeping us from overclocking chips when you yourself have created some of the most inefficient (in terms of optimal performance and energy/heat useage) microprocessor of anyone this decade?
They've been hanging out with Microsoft too long.
That's like a car manufacturer saying, "We've installed a mechanism which will keep you from opening the hood if your intention is to upgrade the engine, because we want you leasing and buying new expensive cars very soon."
On Lou Dobbs' show (who is decidedly on the right side of the issues as far as I am concerned) had a guest who did some of this research and insists that shipping jobs overseas actually CREATES more jobs here in America, because it means American companies grow and more mid-level managers, accountants, and so on are needed.
The problem with this perverse rationale is that a blue-collar factory worker, who goes to work to feed a family, will lose a job. And do you think that blue-collar worker will be re-hired as a Vice President of International Sales? No. Of course not.
Hopefully John Edwards knocked some sense into Kerry when they debated over NAFTA.
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.....
Funny. After reading some of this discussion (your comment excluded), I honestly couldn't think of a better idea right now.
What strikes me is how specific Disney's concern is. Losing tax breaks in the state of the President's brother? To me, the fact that Disney - in a press release - cited such a specific fear says that the concern is legitimate and exists, and the only way for that to be true is if a treat was actually made. It's not like the most powerful people in Florida don't know one another.
Maybe I'm dreaming this up - but to me it makes sense - and because the Bush family, it would not surprise me a bit.
Never let politics interfere with business, what a shmuck.
You probably don't like hearing this - what with your massive ROI and money-making in the stock market - but you might be the shmuck.
If you did your research you would know that Disney is blocking the release of Moore's film because of business. Jeb Bush threatened Disney's tax breaks for Disney World in Florida if a film is released that would put his brother in a poor light (in this case, linking President Bush to the Saudi royal family). Disney's tax breaks are worth a lot more than some director's latest shocker-documentary.
And also - for the record - although I am no fan of Michael Eisner, he did not simply "cut them loose." Steve Jobs usurpred Eisner and leveraged their agreement in a way that made it very difficult for Disney to say no. And what do you care? The dumber Michael Eisner is, the more money Pixar will make, and the more your incredible, risk-taker decisions in the lucrative markets will pay off.

G5 in an iMac

It astounds me you were too lazy to google "water cool G5" - but felt at ease signing into Slashdot, navigating to the Apple section, clicking through to this thread, read some comments, posted your own, selected the options for that post, and hit Submit.
You ought to be smacked!
And yes.. watercooling is inherantly quieter - but requires annoying and expensive pH tests and monthly chlorine flushes.
You are absolutely right. Companies should be forced to tell customers exactly what products they'll be coming out with for an indefinate time period. Full disclosure for everything that doesn't yet exist!
I'm going to buy a new PowerBook tomorrow.. 12" with a SuperDrive... knowing full well that *possibly*... *maybe*.... there may one day be a better product out there replacing it.
although my iPod will still charge through my iMac, firewire drives and camcorders no longer work... great. any way to uninstall the update, or fix this problem?
They're cheap? So everyone. You don't like things to be cheaper? Your logic basically says rich people like cheap stuff, and homeless people prefer much more expensive items.
Also, to the person who said $149 shouldn't be "bitched about" when you spend $500 for an MP3 player. First, *I* didn't spend 500, I spent $299. Which means an "accessory" is suddenly 1/2 the value of my iPod. No thanks.
Now, granted, I don't make much money, so I am in the market for something more expensive.
I think the real problem isn't Napster, but the horrible fiscal mismanagement of our federal spending. The only thing that "trickles down" is debt, and it trickles down to states.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh wow. I just gave up my last mod points yesterday. I'd kill to get them back. You'd get 5 for Funny. That had me rolling!
Seriously! You see this sort of thing ALL THE TIME. What's the big deal?
(Moderate me Sarcastic as all hell.)
Me calling my cousin:
"Dude, Microsoft just won a patent for electrifying human skin tissue."
My cousin:
"Oh my God. Oh my God..."
Based solely on that reaction, I believe this patent should be revoked!

Uhhh, f*ck off.
Oh yeah? Well my new Dell P.O.S. 5300 MP3 player integrates well with my Kia Sh*tcar.
ha ha ha ha.

Stop living in the Slashdot bubble - most people don't know that NetWare is a derivative of Unix, and even more people don't know what NetWare *is*.
That being said, CNET's editorials are still biased and horribly reported and researched. (I'm not bitter or anything.)
Now we're even slashdotting LED signs! Outrageous!

"Man, I lost $10,000 so far in Vegas. Ah! What's $1,000 more?? Put it on red!"
This just proves once again how dumb George W Bush is.
There's no oil on Mars, silly!
Linux sales increasing in Iraq?? Woohoo! I KNEW George Bush was right about this war!
Oh yeah?? Well I play Quake3 and Doom III on a 32mhz pentium with 4mb of RAM and no video card and no monitor and 32mb of hard drive space!
Oh gosh. The 21st century is bringing us some of the dumbest scientists in history.
People -- mostly afraid already of flying in the first place -- want more weightlessness and swinging up and down violently 15,000 feet at a time.
Right.
The American rich? Flamebait.

Senator Edwards said he uses a Mac. I doubt it's a "prepared question" from the Mac community, but Macs are very popular on campuses.
Ha!
If i had moderator points, I would definately moderate you FUNNY!
And If I hadn't responded to your post, I would've definitely moderated you FUNNY a few days from now! Oh well!
