Especially if you're going floating-point based math, the cost-per-crunched-number is actually lower for the dual-G5 tower than it is for a Xeon-based system that costs more anyway.
You mean apart from the start menu in the bottom left, the quick launch tray, the task bar with running programs as buttons, the clock in the bottom right next to the system tray, the background with right-click menu for display settings...
I could go on. Aside from new colours and slightly flashier graphics, it is indeed identical.
Is it just me, or is C/R spam filtering, really, intensely, annoying?
If I e-mail someone, and I get one of those "I think you're a spammer, prove you're not" messages back, then fuck it, you're not getting my e-mail. Challenge/response breaks the whole concept of e-mail.
I personally use SpamAssassin to drop mail scoring 5-10 into a crudbox, and 10+ just gets bounced.
I'm not in the US, so that isn't really a solution.

Well I'm in the UK, and I do exactly the same. Despite saying in big red letters on my auctions that I will not ship outside the UK, I still get some e-mails, some clearly automated, whether I will ship to fraud-land.

Over the past few months, I've been trying to clean out my Cupboard of Random Tech to sell some old mobile phones, a couple of laptops, and some miscellaneous techy things.
Usually I have to re-list an item 3 or 4 times before it sells, because people will bid, win, and then simply disappear off the face of the Earth.
Also, the number of e-mails I get asking if I can ship to some obscure country where credit card fraud is thriving is very high.
eBay needs to find some way of beating the scammers to survive.
If you have the UAE Amiga Emulator, you can find hundreds of legitimately-released games at Back 2 The Roots, enough to keep you entertained for years!
IIS for Windows assigns all clients an ASP session cookie by default. I'm not even sure how you turn that off. I'm sure other web servers on other OSs must do similar things too.
It annoys me when legal types with an insufficient grasp of technology create laws without realising the consequences. Laws should have to pass through some kind of expert panel first.

AT&T UK's research division (the same people who took over the VNC project) have been exploring similar ideas within buildings in the Sentient Computing Project.
It's all relative. Even with cutbacks, it can still afford to throw a few more robots at Mars this year.

Actually, in microgravity you tend to fart a lot more. Because there's not enough gravity to cause solids to settle inside you, gasses can percolate around much more freely.
I am told that the air on board the ISS smells quite badly, but the people living on board get used to it pretty quickly.

How would that help? SlashDot is repeatedly demonstrating that it is a USA-based site.
The Win98 desktop is NOTHING like the XP desktop.

I use Sieve to sort (and bounce) my e-mail.

I don't get much spam anymore.
Kodak digital cameras are 3:2 too.

Officially, "NT" doesn't stand for anything, because Microsoft found they weren't allowed to trade-mark the generic term "New Technology".
I prefer software that works to software that is cool. Skinning was the worst thing to happen to the GUI.
Isn't it easier just to run DOS in VMWare or Virtual PC?

That's not innovation. That's a modern Psion.
Yes.
Google already has this covered!
Well, of course it doesn't! A search for apples, however, is much more useful.
This is just a case of user error, nothing more.

Sorry, my mirror got cease-and-desisted by Apple.
And if you do get SMS spam in the UK, be sure to complain.
