I'm saying that your goals are incredibly subjective and that your claims are bogus.
Further more, Apple computers do not require apple mice. You can use any standard mouse out there. They just happen to offer a mouse you don't like. I don't either. I'd rather have a cheap usb laser mouse with a wheel instead of a Magic Mouse, although if I could get multitouch on a usb mouse...
If you think that iTunes and an iPod are a "hurdle" perhaps you aren't as skilled with computers as you say you are.
Let's say we have a conversation. I record it. I pull an Andrew Breitbart on it and make it sound like you want to murder your wife/employer/boyfriend/husband/mechanic and make it a credible threat and then I play it for them. That may ruin your life. Over a recording you didn't want to happen.
It's in this area that the ps3 is more open. UT3 for ps3 supports mods. Portal 2 will talk to steam. It's only on the xbox where you see absolute control freak nightmares go on.
When you factor in labor and other features you probably didn't consider are on the Mac, you're coming out to an even build. This whole myth about the Mac expense is bogus. I could probably build your system for ~$200 less if I opted for AMD and different parts and still make the same claims you make.
If my choice was to either starve, do back breaking labor for a fraction of the cost that's outside of my field or take a menial job but it's not physical labor, I'm taking the menial out-of-my-field job. The reason why I'd opt not to do the lousy job and take the unemployment *insurance* payout is that the lousy job keeps me from spending a majority of time finding a much better job.
(Hint you lolbertarians: unemployment is an *insurance* program designed to be there when you're out on your ass and your options are limited.)
Great, it's a matter of relative value. If I pay 600 bucks for a Core 2 Duo Mini, I'm not going to spec it out similarly to a Windows machine. Yes, the base hardware's cheaper, but, in the UNIX world(Which OSX is:) and linux isn't), hardware's only a single piece of the puzzle. I could probably spec a machine cheaper than HP's going to sell me an HP-UX workstation or server, but, I'm in it for an HPUX machine, not a Windows machine, or other commodity OS(which Linux is; very *good* commodity OS but it's certainly not proprietary). Similarly, yes, you could spec a Windows machine that's faster, but is it better? Is it smaller? Is it still running Windows?
What I'm wondering is if ADD/ADHD is a spectrum like autism is? There seems to be a lot of differing stories as to what ADHD is, and how it's affected people's lives.
Yeah because back 10 years ago, it was inconceivable that any one point on the network would start fucking with the other points; it was just... unthinkable.
Now, they're thinking about doing it because surprise bandwidth costs money(magically? I don't understand how the fuck this works).
Both when I was in college and now at my work place, there's externally mounted Cisco devices with high gain antennas mounted to the walls.
This is seriously bad medical House, M.D. style logic, but, there's a thin veneer of plausibility that if you drill holes into a wall full of black mold, the mold may be getting out through those holes.
Is that really the message that comes across? I mean, everyone seems pretty happy and prosperous before the Emperor takes over. Things obviously go down hill after (storm troopers everywhere, deathstars to control the populace, etc). Isn't the lesson of the story that the Jedi DID do a really good job of keeping the peace?
I got this impression that life was a bureaucratic nightmare. I'm a liberal but even I know shit going too far. Which is natural given the sheer size and scope of the whole place.
I can't imagine doing business in the old republic either. I'm guessing there were more have nots than haves too.

Sprints been calling Clear's wimax network 4G too.
Thank god consumers have short memories.
What does it benchmark at?

Blago's getting only 5 years for what he did.
No, Illinois, you've guys have turned dirty pool into stagecraft.
Sony hasn't sued anyone because they made a controller for their console with out their explicit permission. Unlike another console maker we all know.

I'm betting it sounds like a jet engine too.

It's bogus.

What's your evidence? What's your data?
Drowning doesn't happen! You need water to survive right? It's not like you can have TOO much water! Water poisoning isn't real either!

I have no doubt ADHD is real.

I love Apple products, but I also love Linux.
Occasionally I'd like to see more Linux and less Apple "Slow News Day" twaddle.

I'll still 'meh' at it.
It still feels like the quote, "If space were this happening I wouldn't have left home" from 3rd Rock from the Sun still rings true.
There's this one too
That's actually not true.

one of us actually was on that jury
I have no copies of the new trilogy and my VHSes of the original are hidden away somewhere.
The ROTJ lightsaber scene isn't the only new piece of footage going into the BluRay disc set. It's just the one he showed at Celebration V.
oh, I agree. There was a great Skeptoid about it.
I was just trying to present a plausible scenario where installing a wireless setup could possibly expose people to mold.

At my highschool we had a fucking coffee bar ran by students in the mornings in the home ec. room.
We also didn't have the "headache" problem either. go figure.
No, but drilling into the walls to mount routers would allow spores to get out from behind the wall and into the open air.
Especially if they had a habit of getting or two holes wrong.
