Licensing software under GPL would not hamper innovation or anything like that- you're free to use it however you like, as long as you keep it free. It's software patents, proprietary software and the like that slow innovation.
Just messing with one of the- what, 400,000!?..people that have lower UIDs than me. Personally I would have run it with linux, gotten the mail netflix service and ripped everything. XBMC is great for a home theater system on linux, plus the open ATi drivers have gotten quite excellent. Couple that with a bluetooth USB gamepad and a dozen emulators, you win.
Really? You never have seen those "I'm a mac, I'm a PC" ads? They got even dumber when mac swapped to x86_64. Now there is next to no distinction between a mac and a run of the mill desktop.
Quad core processors NOW for starters, possible to have builds with up to 12 core procs, and more than one physical CPU. Build your own to your specifications. Up to 64GB of RAM, ungodly more powerful GPUs, Operating systems that actually allow you to do what the hell you want with your hardware (yes I've used android. No, it fails in this regard), choice of what operating system you run for that matter....
Terabytes of internal storage, upgradeability in general, faster SSDs, more friendly development environment, ability to execute arbitrary code without forking over protection money (this is more apple though...)
Tremendous? 2004 is over, buddy, and IE6 is just shy of 10% of the market. And that's mostly in china. If you're designing a website targeted towards non-eastern nations, dropping IE6 and 7 is given. IE8 is less terrible than the others, but is still a horrifying browser to code for. IE9 is actually fairly good. As for the rest, firefox is great, and webkit. Opera usually renders pages similarly to webkit.
He was just rambling on as if a cure was impossible, when there's a natural immunity and drug cocktails which make the disease livable. But IIRC, the gene that causes immunity to HIV was isolated recently- I'm thinking it causes receptors that HIV binds to on the white blood cell to not emerge above the surface. Interestingly enough, though, bone marrow transplants may be enough. I've read of something last year where a Leukemia patient, also suffering from HIV, got a bone marrow transplant from someone that was immune. After a while, he showed no signs of the virus. If bone marrow transplant safety could be improved, and the marrow cells grown rather than extracted, it could be a viable cure. Of course, it just said he had an HIV infection- nothing about full blown AIDS. Still, at worst it would prevent a person from being totally immunocompromised.

From who? I haven't heard anyone saying that in many years.
I use an analytical engine you insensitive clod!
Nope, GNOME 3 can be heavily customized as well, even to look like 2.x to a degree.
6 is basically 4.0.0.0.2, and I can change my style back to 3.6ish on 4-8 (nightly).

Did you miss the last few decades there, buddy?
Hardly forces you to recognize a granted title though.
DIE literal minded joke explainer! A pox on your kind!

Put it in a reinforced steel or carbon fiber box. Throium isn't that radioactive, and the radiation it emits is trivially blockable.
It was just a prop joke. Canonically, the cars were powered by fusion, and would not explode. Much like power armor.
Call it Mr. Fission. 80% of people won't know the difference.
Why bother? There's a hell of a lot more bloat in programs than a couple bytes for two numbers would add.
Whoops, disregard my comment then.

XP home? Turn in your geek card, sir.

need I go on?
And?
Wait what? It costs nothing to develop for a MacBook, I've written plenty of programs on them back when they first swapped to x86_64.
Protip: When arguing about the inability of an iPad to execute arbitrary code to an apple fan, they'll always try to trot out javascript.

Ugh, why must redundant be next to insightful?
That's stupid. A percentage of the population is naturally immune to HIV. A vaccine is a matter of genetic engineering, that's all.
Ugh. *facepalm*
Sarcasm. Learn it.
