I've been having trouble with delete/backspace in ConnectBot. I'm trying out Full Keyboard now (it has dedicated dpad and control character modes). Delete works, at least, although flipping through all the modes gets old very quickly.
All but the highest-end iMac are dual-core. The lowest-end Mac Pro is quad-core. If someone is going to drop $5K+ on a Mac Pro with 12 cores, they either have money to throw around or they know what they're doing.
When a Republican changes his mind, he's always believed the way he believes now. When a Democrat changes his mind, he's a flip-flopper with no loyalty or conviction.
When a Republican raises taxes, it's only temporary. Republicans are the champions of small government, lest we forget. When a Democrat raises taxes, he's a tax-and-spend liberal, a chronic symptom of an overgrown government.
It appears that you are no slouch at linguistic gymnastics yourself.
...really, Apple has been doing just fine without Steve Jobs, and the iPhone is so popular that they can probably phone in (no pun intended) the 3.0 update and be set for another six months or more. Apple isn't in jeopardy of losing a significant number of customers to Palm until the bugs are worked out in webOS and their app store is fleshed out. RIM needs to hurry the Storm 2 along and from what I gather their app store needs some time as well.
That being said, I don't think Apple is going to phone it in. They've been quite prolific these past 10 years or so and I've seen no evidence of that changing any time soon. I expect to see a cheaper iPhone with beefier hardware and a reduced rate plan in the next few weeks (not necessarily at WWDC), and I expect to see Core i5 iMacs and Snow Leopard by Fall. Incremental improvements, to be sure, but enough to stay competitive.
O'Reilly is even more backwards and loud mouthed than most people his age. I can't wait for the old generation to just die out already. Their legacy superstitions and bigotry have encroached far beyond what any reasonable person would find appreciable.
Moreover, there are many corporations in Chicagoland in the finance, insurance, and consultancy agencies that hire said graduates straight out of Northern and put them to work! I was fortunate enough to land on the UNIX of my present employer, but I still deal with mainframe extracts on a regular basis, and all the baggage that goes along with it: EBCDIC, DB2, JCL, etc. It's a real blast.
By the way, they don't teach 250 anymore; they now teach COBOL and JCL in parallel in 465. I still have nightmares about some of the teachers there (you know who I mean).:-)
You may already know this, but perhaps not everyone does. Your comment about Fermi reminded me. Before the euro, Italy had the lira, and they did indeed choose some scientist types for their paper currency:
* 1,000 lire, Maria Montessori (physician, educator, and scientist)
* 2,000 lire, Guglielmo Marconi (engineer, inventor of the radio)
* 10,000 lire, Alessandro Volta (physicist, inventor of the battery)
Some time between 2015 to 2025, expect the cadre of kids now in pre-school to adopt a musical style that current fans of rap will find incomprehensible and offsensive.
...and everyone else will still be listening to Mozart and Led Zeppelin.;-)
Am I supposed to believe that this problem "strafed" my 14" iBook G4? Better keep an eye on 'er.

You'll have to forgive me, it's been a while since I've seen ABM, but in the movie I don't believe John Nash applied game theory to the stock market in order to gain money. As a matter of fact, I think that was the furthest thing from his mind.

Right, that would be the "or they know what they're doing" part of my original comment.
These Xeons are currently over $1K each, at least on Newegg.

Engadget has a great summary here. The "third way" resembles what some were discussing in the earlier thread.
Okay, I'll play.

Uh oh. I think that includes me.
I think the GP must have been flaming Bill O'Reilly, not Tim O'Reilly, the author of TFA.
You've never seemed particularly loud-mouthed or bigoted to me. Don't go away, we need you. :-)

You should give Tomato Torrent a shot. I've had good success with it.

The other portraits are of painters, composers, sculptors, etc.
I wonder if any other country's currency displays such a trend...
Leela, there's nothing wrong with anything.
I think one of the biggest mistakes that Darwin made was titling his book, "The Origin of Species."
It's more like $900-1000, otherwise you're absolutely right.

Oh, no! I just bought an iBook ten months ago! Now it's obsolete. Apple obviously doesn't care about customer loyalty.
Never before has a "+1, Awesome" been so greatly needed. Thank you!

That was Pi, not ABM.
In bash (and ksh) I hit ESC to enter command mode, then v to bring up (v)isual mode. Perhaps zsh is similar? HTH.
