About every other year or so, I run out of authorizations for computers from iTunes. I just use the iTunes store thing to de-authorize all and then authorize as i need them.
In one incident, Bond bet Wayne that they could stand on opposite sides of a newspaper and Wayne wouldn't be able to hit him. Bond set a sheet of newspaper down in a doorway, Wayne stood on one end, and Bond slammed the door in his face, shouting "Try and hit me now!" Wayne responded by sending his fist through the door, flooring Bond (and winning the bet).
At work, I'm pushing for having the user's desktop experience virtualized, and only allowing tech support access to the 'root' OS. Now, with some users, you'd go whole hog with VMWare and a complete OS, but for most users, you could give them an abbreviated web browser/file manager and various apps. Maybe a local storage but I'd prefer network based user location.
Exactly, Apple's going for the non-smart phone users. Rather than compare the iPhone to Treos and Blackberries, compare them to Razors and such. That's the market they're after. They're going after the $50 subsidized phone market, and getting folks to pony up $200+. Not bad work if you can get it. Now, if they'd just expand beyond AT&T, I might consider one.
They also made it pretty easy to rip cd's. I mean, even my Mom can handle that. Getting source and device working smoothly really gave Apple an advantage.
Now, ripping movies, yeah, still not quite so seemless.
Nope; these are old machines (Mac G5's in my case), and the RAM doesn't work in the current Intel Macs. Now, if someone's smart enough to pull the RAM for another old machine in their area, before turning in a machine for recycle, then yeah, but most folks don't.
The lab i work for is under DOE and so we follow their rules. No data devices, including RAM, leave the premises. Just waiting for someone up the chain to start including video cards. One of my used G5's had a sweet Nvidia 6800 card in it.
Ah, that explains a reoccurring dream I have for a room mate that stiffed me on rent and utilities and wiped out my checking account. Trying to explain how to wife how it's possible to still want to have sex with someone you don't like, couldn't really get the point across.
We have a big shredder that turns hard drives, RAM, and PDA's into fancy, super sharp splinters. They sell the scrap at auction. No idea what someone does with this stuff.

My copy will be a head in a jar and won't be able to touch himself. D'oh!
Hmm... 3 billion years...
Wouldn't there be a decent chance we'll have some kind of sillycon iLife running things?
I give my daughter a silver eagle for each tooth. She thinks they're cool (she's 8) and she can't spend them. Cool!
Figure I'll do this through her wisdom teeth. By the time she's done, she'll have 30 pieces of silver.
Still a turd.

Darn Ringworld!
But outside of paper-folding experiments, who actually uses this? Does it really feel so much better?
It's so good, it actually does my calc homework for me.
And catapults charged with monkeys!
So does John Wayne.

What is Raid 5 for?
Elephants. In the walls.
Beowulf forrest?
Or would you start with just a glade?
Raid 0 is for ants.
Raid 1 is for cockroaches.
Bush like reflexes, that one has.

Dvorak can't be wrong. They're still going under!

Are these cards cheaper than current 802.11n gear for Macs?

Supposedly, there're ways to pull data from old RAM. And it's not that big a deal to chuck 'em in to the shredder.
I've picked up used computers from our auctions and they come with no RAM or HD. Still, for the price, are worth it.

Gotta' include a Klingon version of some stereo remote control instructions though, so they have a key.
