I'd love to have a Tibook G4, running photoshop next to a DVD viewer screen.
The other day, during my C++ lab period at uni, I had my iBook hooked into the campus network.. I was watching Shrek on DVD and had an Emacs window open, writing my stupid lab code. Fun times:)
As do I. I personally am Baptist. As I see it God is my authority. I'm free to make my own choices. My pastor might actually ask me about those choices but he has no power to choose for me or make me do something else. (Neither does anyone else)
Personally, I see Christianity as a faith. A faith that guides you, God at the top, no mediator. This is why I don't like catholicism. It puts the Priests in a position of power above you, and in a position that's easy to abuse.
A religion is a system of rules and regulations which must be followed to assure salvation/nirvana/whatever. True Christianity is none of that.
The iPod isn't marketed at geeks. If it were, its price would have dropped with its components. People are still buying them, so Apple has no incentive to lower the price.
The ROM-in-RAM thing only applies to classic Mac OS (i.e., vv. 9 and earlier). OS X boots a Mach kernel instead, which is stored in/mach_server and has no resemblance to the old Mac OS ROM whatsoever.
Yea, I know how it works, though it's actually/mach_kernel. I thought it called the ROM image to boot, but I guess I'm mistaken. Does "classic" MacOS's kernel reside in the ROM? Is that how it works?
The problem with that is that I live a good 9 hour drive from the American border. Even then, it's only North Dakota. Do they have a CompUSA in that entire state?:-)
That doesn't mean that it won't be, though. Canadians: contact your provincial premiere and let them know that the idea of a tarrif on media may be legit, but the prices proposed are simply unacceptable.
Yes, the prices are unreasonable.
And... why would contacting the premier do me any good in this matter? 1) They're hard to get ahold of. (For you Americans, they're the equivalent to your state governors) 2) They don't have much say in federal matters like levies and taxes. 3) There are 1 million people in SK fighting for attention, and Lorne Calvert is a dipshit who wasn't elected into office. He's a puppet who does not deserve my support. I'm not giving him my support.
Maybe Linda Haverstock (LG or SK) could do some good here? Or maybe Adrienne Clarkson (GG). She theoretically can go over the PM's head in all matters of the country.
What's wrong with buying a computer that looks cool out of the box? Sure, it's unoriginal, but most people don't care. Would you buy a TV or sterio that didn't look cool, then mod it to make it look cool? Or even a car. Most people don't buy a car to fix it up to make it look cool, but some do. Is it a bad idea to to buy a car that looks cool out of the factory? How is a computer different?
It's interesting, really. I grew up in Saskatoon, SK. We had the public/separate system like in Alberta, but to this day I see no reason for it. In Saskatoon, I can think of two Catholic churches that are not attached to a high school. In Calgary, I can't think of any, but I've lived here for about 6 months and haven't paid much attention.
I think we'd be better served by Protestant schools, like "Corny Rhymer Mennonite High School" or "Saskatoon United High School"... The Catholic church is pretty close to dead in Saskatoon at least. Of my friends I have two who actually are Catholic, but very many who attend Catholic schools who aren't.
Actually, Calgary is closer to the cost than North Dakota by about 600 miles. You're thinking of Regina or Saskatoon... they're north (and a little west) of North Dakota.
Alberta doesn't even border ND. It borders Montana (and only Montana)
Yea, Calgary's got a little of everything, but I find it too big for my tastes. I like smaller cities like Halifax and Saskatoon.
As for the regional "eh" thing, Canada is a VERY big "region". You can notice the difference in accent even from Saskatoon to Winnepeg, and each group has its own use of the word "eh".
I'm a ten minute walk from the nearest Timmy's.. There is one in the main hallway of my college.
I don't like their doughnuts, Robin's is much better for that. Tim's coffee is better though, I haven't seen one in Calgary... directions anyone?.

It's an Apple, ain't it? Why not just bring an iBook to the store and get on to their wireless net, set up file sharing and copy wirelessly?
The local CompuSmart (www.compusmart.com) one of the big national computer stores in Canada, has a wireless net that all the demo machines are on. He could just bring an iBook to the store a copy to his hearts content.

Okay.. I'm an idiot.
Are they immigrants that speak Japanese, or are they born and raised Japanese people?

Do they speak Welsh? I'd imagine it's still a popular
language in Wales, or are they the middle eastern immigrants
we get here in Canada? In Calgary, AB, Canada the cabbies need to learn
English and the city to pass their cabbie test. I think that's a great idea, but they
should also learn French, Cantanese, Japanese and some (East) Indian language.
My crown phone company doesn't ration. I have never had to stop talking on the phone because it costs the government money.
In fact, my CROWN long distance service (SaskTel) at home is better than the PRIVATE long distance service I use in Alberta for school. Intersting.....

Build a Mac yourself for $500...
Does this mean that there are clone parts available? How do I go about building my own Mac.
Really.. I want to know. I like OS X.
The ROM-in-RAM thing only applies to classic Mac OS (i.e., vv. 9 and earlier). OS X boots a Mach kernel instead, which is stored in /mach_server and has no resemblance to the old Mac OS ROM whatsoever.
/mach_kernel. I thought it called the ROM image to boot, but I guess I'm mistaken. Does "classic" MacOS's kernel reside in the ROM? Is that how it works?
Yea, I know how it works, though it's actually
You could probably get MacOS X to boot on it, now that the OS's rom is stored on disk.
That, and Darwin comes with source, so you could likely get it going on the hardware.
This will be kinda cool....

Okay, someone tell me again what the **** was the point of NAFTA?
"Free" as in anal rape?
That about sums it up. It's all about making the USA richer.
.21 * 3 = 63. They nearly trippled. .59 is nearly .63.

Pity, as a decent browser would have a good shot at winning all of the MacOSX market.
.9.9 :)
I use OmniWeb. It works well, and is fast. It still has some problems, like random crashes. It is faster than IE5 on OS X.
In OS 9, though I use Mozilla. Must reboot... try
Eurocom has had these for years, they're probably not as advanced as the Gateway, but still...
Oh, if you think those are a little pricy, keep in mind that the prices are quoted in Canadian Dollars.
They even have a 17" model. Beat that, iMac!
Disclamer: I like macs. I'd like to see a 17" iMac, but something tells me I'm not going to.
(Some sperms mixed with an egg on a tray is not life.)
....
Actually, it is. Whether it's a human being entitled to all the rights as the rest of us is a completely different question.
If a sperm and egg aren't life, then neither are plankton, or bacteria, or
Life, certainly. Lower form of life, that is.
Uh, monarchies can be (and often are) democracies.
But you are right, the USA isn't a democracy. It's a democratic republic.

This kinda seems like PicoBSD a free, small BSD dist for this purpose... along with others.
