If several + 1 vendors sell as a whole several more times PPCs then Apple, then Apple is the biggest consumer.
I don't really know that all teh embedded uses arn't one company, but I would think that this was the case. Unless it is along the lines of an order of magnatude more PPC chips are used in embedded uses I would still think that leaves Apple on top.
Here is my howto to avoid capital gains tax on land.
step one move into said house
step two sell it and get a capital gains exception of up to $500,000
This is of course fraud if you havn't actually lived their for 2 of the last five years, but with co-operative renters (they will need to let you get some mail there) and low scruples (or the belief that taxes are actually the crime) you can juggle 2 homes and sell them with very little capital gains.
I just think that they could make more money with a higher price. The carts sell for well over that used right now. Anything up to $5.00 is probably cheap enough to be impulsable for people willing to pay for broad band at least, and the SNES/N64 systems probably have a lot of games that would do real well beyond impulse buys.
I would love to have access to a bunch of shmups from before the systems could kick out so much shit they are impossible, but that would be from 3rd parties only.
If they sold sets of games they could throw in a lot of garbage and have a few key titles and sell for more while keeping cost/game low (but I hope not for their sake, people hate that).
Some of the Konomi incredibly dull turn based games really appeal to me too.
I purchased a 1 Gig USB flash for 70 USD a 6+ months ago. I dream that the system is less then that but not likley.
As for game pricing I bet they are 5-10 USD each.
I imagine there are maybe a half dozen games (big maybe, more likly 3) I would buy at that price, but for a dollor a pop I would certainly not buy 15-30. there just arn't that many games I would want.
This is the NES, I would expect the SNES games to be 5-15 or even 20 and the N64 to be about the same. The GC games would probably be 20-30 each.
But I could just be completly wrong. I just can't see how they could sell 5 times more $1.00 games then $5.00 games.
Of cousre subscription with rotating availability could work too (but it didn't for Sega).
We still no much less about the Revoluton then we do the Xbox360 or the PS3.
Nintendo has at least 2 press releases left that will be far more worthy (specifically exact specs and the "revolution").
I would expect both those to be front page (expacialy the latter) but people not into games should not have to see every tricklle of news they release.
They may be able to get away with weaker specs if they let developers release standart def games (as long as they don't let that get used against them like the online, even though relativl few people game online).
I find that a touchpad with good acceleration settings is WAY better then a point.
The point takes too much force to start moving and therefore moves too fast at the minimum speed. At the same time it is way to slow at the fastest.
Also since it's motion is not related to the motion of my hands it is much harder to judge where you are moving it without tracking it activly with your eyes, and far easier to overshoot.
The tap to click (and double tap to drive) on a touch pad is a huge bonus makign ti very easy to navigate around most things with one finger (I know some points have this, but I have not seen one that was easy to tap click with, it always took too much force).
the presision and speed are just far worse on a point vs a pad.
I would like to disclaim that the type of work I do is fairly mouse centric and maybe for typical use a point is better.
Also the points I have used have been Dell's and not IBM's which could also be a difference.
I actually liked the movie and the next night watched part of the TV series and thought the movie was better.
I thought Trillian's character was more true to how I remembered the books (smart, not idiotic) and it felt a lot less like a school play with the principals still reading from a script.
My only real complaint from the movie is that they killed the mice instead of sending them back with how many roads must a man walk down (which is my memmory from the book, but it's been a while).
The movie could of benifitted from the towel not being left as an inside joke too, but whatever.
Except that assumes a single times line where every alteration that can be made has been and you can't change the future etc. (like 12 monkeys).
But if there are multiple time lines then our past cannot be altered by the present or the future, in which case when people go back in time it will not be into our past but into someone elses. So the date must be in the future.
Well considering they embedded the actual text and let people copy and edit it. A reasonable person could argue they had no idea copyable and editable text in a document marked as unclassibied is all classified.
I would actually recomend aliasing the DOS commands to echo text similar to this:
dir is a DOS command, the most similar command in Linux is ls
type ls man ls for directions.
Most common usage is "ls -al"
or something to that effect. Also I would aliad ls to ls -F --color=auto (most distros will reasonably alias the common commands though).
By listing the propper command instead of auto-subbing you can encourage people to learn more about the commands (anybody using the command prompt will probably be at the level it will benefit them) and you can put in warnings about differences and better prepar the users for using other systems.
I have a photo my grandfather took with the microscope where he worked (USGS). The photo is Art Buchwald kidney stone (he was there for some reason and it passed) blown up to poster size.
There are absolutly differences in expieriences between the two groups though.
True there is vast diversity within the each group (urban/suburban) but there are also likly expieriences that that people from each group have had regardless of race.
I know in my area (suburbs) there is a difference in expieriance for race also. The white people actually tend to be much more homogonized with most all being multi-generation (3 +) Americans with middle-uppermiddle class parents and grandparents and cousins, Cristians (with a few jews).
Even though there are fewer black people in the area they have a much more diverse background with recen immagrants, family with vastly different economic backgrounds. Most are still Christian or Muslim, but there is a much more diverse range of practices. And a very large percentage have stories of out-right being discriminated against by some asshole or another that many of the white people have never had a similar expierence.
Of course it could be argues in some situations a more homogenious workplace is actually beneficial relative to a diverse one, but if you grab people from different backgrounds (which includes race) you will absolutly have a more diverse variety of expieriances to draw from.
So are you saying that the constitution is a lieing down the maxumum rights taht are protected and anything not covered explicietly is up to the law makers?
The founding fathers were afraid of that view, and some of them did not want to have the Bill of Rights at all for fear that people would think like that (that is why they are ammendments and not art of the main body of the document).
I would imagine that a reasonable person could legitamatly interpret the liberty and the persuit of happiness to mean being able to wed the way our heart takes you.
I personaly think that legaly marriage should be degraded to a civil union and anybody can do it, and those that need to be "married" can get a private institution to do it if they are willing, but as a someone with no religious leanings I could be underestimating the importance of the government recognizing "marriage".
The federal judges will not *bing* change the law; nine of the best legel minds in the world will argue about for a very long time before deciding if the right to mary for love no matter what the gender is part of the idea that all people are equal and weather marriage is an in-alienable right.
Do you truly think that the state governments should be alloud to legislate what (harmless) sex acts consenting married adults can participate in? Because there were anti-sodemy laws in some states that had no exceptions under any circumstances, thankfully the "activists" decided that maybe that wasn't quite a reasonable thing to do.

Tere was acting in Episode III?
I think I must have seen a different movie.
Go senate.
I approve violent games too.
Fair enough,

by braking the button apart (visually) they somehow avoided it.
The Dream Cast was the first console released after the patent expired, and the first non-Nintendo console to use a D-Pad
can't find the patant because the site is acting all funny.
I woluld also Disclaim this may all be hearsay and rumor with no truth.
Anyway these guyse are more reputable then me at least.
It does extend copyright scope though, doesn't it?
I was more impressed by the turnout.
They were claiming 100% of elidgable voters, not 100% of voters.
I bet he/she meant gen1 with absolutly no cache.
they were terrible chips by far.
they ran like 486's

That is what editors are for.
(as in the TV version of Brazil in the states).
Also, I don't think the trilogy ended happy either (excluding the post mortem boon that I havn't read).
well if right and wrong is the same as good and evil then the tree meant nothing.
If it isn't then there is not true free will.
Will isn't truly free if you cannot do evil.
Without knowledge of good and evil there is no free will.
They had no reason to listen to God over the Serpant even.
Except that assumes a single times line where every alteration that can be made has been and you can't change the future etc. (like 12 monkeys).

I would assume as much anyway.

yeah, because that doesn't look like 4 different number, eh.

I don't know what it is doing, but I want my web-browser to eat memmory if it is there.
I want to hit back and have it come from RAM, and it would be real nice if it was for a while back.
Thunderbird has no excuse.
My girlfriend has a Lexmark that had no Mac drivers, I was able to install and use drivers from Linux on it from Linuxprinting.org
this is the driver that I used. It took a while to set up, but not any longer then getting an IP printer to work on windows 98.
I think I had to install foomatic or somethign to get it worksing, but it did work.
So I always assumed the drivers were interchangable (but a pain in the ass to do so).
