Thanks for the clarification captain obvious. Now please explain how in this context you felt you added any value whatsoever?
It's like you corrected someone that used the term "4 wheel drive" by explaining how cars actually have 5 wheels, but one is a spare, so that 4 wheel drive actually just means 4 wheels are used to drive.
Solving a problem of energy source at the power plant is a lot easier than on the road. What is an IC engine anyways but a massively inefficient engine where the "battery" is gasoline/petrol. By designing electric cars, you move to a much more efficient energy delivery system. With that in place, you can CHOOSE how to generate that energy.
Electrics are how you can have a windmill powered car.
12 years ago, I couldn't afford a CD-ROM that would work (had one hooked off the sound card. I had to download 32 floppies to get slackware installed. It was a pain in the ass getting sound working (I had the jumpers wrong initially) and modem -- which I gladly paid $150 to upgrade to 19.9. Heck, I had to learn all about SLIP just to do anything useful (which specifically was to use elm and archie and read newsgroups)
You got lucky with Yggdrasil, I had to go BUY a mach32 to get X working (more floppies..)
How about sitting down and trying to make the best email app there is instead of just trying to copy existing ones down to their cosmetic features.
Frankly, the way that OSX does it works for me. Tightly coupled yet separate mail, calendar, address book, etc. Each app does what it does really really well.
I suggest that we start by discussing whether the Logitech 1000MX favored by many M$ users is too irreducibly complex to have evolved from the one-button mouse used by many Macintosh users.
Quite possibly one of the funnier things I've heard this week. Well done.
.NET is maybe best defined as the CLR (Common Language Runtime). You have the abilitiy to write in VB, Eiffel, C# and others that compiles down to similar intermediary code, just like Java does. If you have the CLR running on multiple OS's (I believe I heard that they had it running for BSD, but haven't heard anything about it recently) then you can run the.NET compiled code on any of those OS's.
Now, just like Java,.NET programming removes a whole lot of things from the programmers hands, which certainly makes for fewer mistakes (strongly typed, memory management, etc) but does force developers to leave the.NET framework and use (for instance) C++ to write a device driver (coming full circle on why an OS using only.NET isn't currently possible)
Java uses a virtual machine,.NET uses a CLR (not quite as virtual, more an API on a machine), so I think if you wanted to come up with a one liner for.NET, you should come up with one for Java and then simply append the words "... in order to take over the world."
Reread your parent, son. You can't get much more physical than a cable. Just because it is called an ethernet cable doesn't make it layer 2.
Besides, there are two many variants of the 4 layer model, thus it makes sense to discuss the 7 layer OSI model. Well, at least you go that part right.
waaaa.. "we only lost cause we didn't practice" isn't a good enough excuse. What is it that differentiates teams with essentially the same hardware? TIME AND EFFORT. Kudos to the German team.
hmmm.... slow motion soccer. . .
yeah, I'm not sure that achieves the "and be productive" requirement. Domain controllers don't do a heck of a lot.. DNS,DHCP, File Sharing, Print Sharing, User Authentication... these all are minimal load. Obviously they are quite useful services in their own right, but none require a front end with alpha blending, etc..
I seriously laughed at the blazing speed of an NT 4.0 box just the other day with just about the same sysem specs you mention... a simple front end like file manager absolutely blew me away with how snappy it was.
I would like to point out that Konfabulator has been ported to windows and will make a heck of a lot more money because people will see that every Tiger user can use cool widgets and want to do that, too. Seems like Konfabulator made a great product (albeit widget memory hogs) and will be fine, having snatched success from the jaws of failure.
If you want to buy music without paying licensing, get into classical music. It is just about the only music in the public domain, and that will probably never change.
Hmmm, however, while the copyright has expired on most classical music in the sense that you have a right to recreate it in movies without paying royalties, there is still a copyright on the actual presentation. That is, I can whistle Beethoven's 5th Symphony all I want without violating copyright, however still I can't download a copy of Yo Yo Ma's rendition of it for free. Yo Yo Ma would hold the copyright on that performance. Of course, with the way I whistle, it would fall under parody laws anyways;)

hmmm, I can't think of a heck of a lot of options except APPL or linux on cell..is it really fair to tease without giving out at least your top two?

I believe you. I guess I'm just in the position your were in before you wrote your article...

Come on now, can't/would rather not mess with ? Just take a few moments to go here and your mac will work just fine thankyouverymuch.
Now your full length video is mac friendly, plus, it doubles the amount of porn you can view.waaaa.. "we only lost cause we didn't practice" isn't a good enough excuse. What is it that differentiates teams with essentially the same hardware? TIME AND EFFORT. Kudos to the German team.

Damn activist judges!!!!!!!!!!
Well, with the density of coffee shops in Seattle, each one would only need a radius of ummm, 30 feet?

I disagree. I use iChat on a Mac. I have a .mac account. I never signed up for an AIM account nor agreed to their terms of service.
hell, someone sue Ford since their PRODUCTS are promoting the likes of GM, Toyota, etc. . .

Tighter code? is that how you are defining optimized? Hmmm... I beg to differ.
