I still run 10.4.x on a Mac Pro because of issues I read about - and Apple still is issuing security patches and the like for 10.4.x, so I take it w/ a grain of salt they would stop supporting PowerPC at this point. I have a G4 I would like to upgrade the CPU - but who in their right mind would order a CPU card upgrade w/ the rumor floating around that PowerPC is about to get shut out? I pay a premium for Apple hardware, but I justify it by the ability to get 5 years out of their pro machines - the last 2 on CPU upgrade or Video card upgrade.
I would definitely reconsider my position if they went thru with this.
95 was effectively the near-fatal blow to Apple and nearly sent the company into a death spiral. Of course, Vista seems to be their near-death experience.
>The Railroads never left. Commuter Rails are dieing not comerical.
Commuter rails are booming. Ridership is up across the board. $4 a gallon gas will do that. What is "comerical"? Wow.
>As well we have a polital problem with rails is that noone wants them in their back yard >or comunity if they are already there they sertonly dont want them expanded so there is >more noise.
Noise from rail versus highway?!? I have heard/seen the new aluminum cars? They are so quiet you can only hear the sound of the engine passing. And passenger trains are very quiet.
We get free pop. But they took away the green tea and the filtered water cooler. And the subsidized cafeteria? If you ate there every day for a couple years, you would have clogged arteries, heart disease and diabetes. They push this crap on folks, then are outraged everyone is over weight! WTF?!?
Uhh... and how would Mac owners upgrade to the latest OS? Download how many gigabytes of files that make up Leopard?? Oh yeah... I got hours to sit around and wait for that to complete.
Apple is predominently a consumer machine. Using your logic, you would exclude Apple from the your statistics because corporations don't purchase the machines in large enough numbers.
Oh yeah... cause we all know an election was never stolen before the advent of electronic voting machines or 2001. Christ... where is the sense of history here? Chicago ring a bell? Stolen elections were the norm in the days of PAPER BALLOTS. When the machines came in the 70's fraud went down. But of course... if your favorite party is the one committing the fraud... then its OK.
If you lived in the US you would know the 3 presidential candidates are basically on-record of saying they intend to MEND the relations which were damaged the past 8 years. And its why none of the US allies is alarmed - they know GWB is gone in 6 months and w/ him goes his warped policies.
The big companies can be successful w/ offshoring, small companies... not so much. Demand and salary will always be there. There's a shortage right now due to the fact that the offshoring scare has kept kids from majoring in CIS.
Are Coyotes really effective against deer? It would seem a pack of them would be needed to successfully cull the herd... and then wouldn't they just seek out the path of least resistence... and go after wild turkey, small mammals, dogs... whatever?
Greenpeace and co. have been trying to kill the coal industry for 35 years. First... it was "acid rain". Scrubbers solved that issue. Next up was "Moutaintop Removal Mining".
They think they have the mother-of-all evil's caused by the coal industry... global warming.
Coal industry is an easy target. Not nearly as well financed as the oil or auto industry. It surprises me it has taken them this long.
They bill for search and rescue. If he was flying an experimental aircraft... bill him. You same folks crying about this scream for the gov't to soak the rich... here's your opportunity!
Technology marches on... and just like scrubbers were invented to passify Nitrous Oxide, there are already initiatives under way to address the removal of uranium from coal. This being accomplished at the prep plant instead of the power plant and hence less invasive.
Who knows... maybe this is some kind of clandestine Apple ploy to provide a low-cost tower. Who is the target customer? Developers and maybe a few power users. And if Apple takes a cut like MS does... it would be a win-win situation to cater to developers. Especially the ones they need to proliferate the big money maker... iPhone.
Oh yeah... those poor, pitiful farmers. Who extort artificial price structures for their commodity's from the federal governement... who extort subsidies from the federal government to NOT plant a particular commodity... and when times are good - as an example this year and corn production... they cut back planting to impact commodity prices.
Agribusiness sounds pretty similar to MS and its ilk. Screw 'em... all of them.
It's fine for you until some vicodin chompin' fool rams his car into you and you want to sue the drug manufactuer and the physician who prescribed it and the FDA and the... on and on.
Oh... and as long as it isn't Rush Limbaugh wolfin' down the vicodin... its ok w/ you. Otherwise... "throw the hypocrite in jail!!"

They settled in America because you Brits forced people out because of the religion they practiced.
I see you communicate w/ off shore folks from India using IM, too. Christ... I can't take it the way they hack it up.
I guess this means the 2 other pilot projects - which probably would see some ridership - Pittsburgh or Baltimore... have been shelved forever.

With the ice caps melting, do the 'bots get endangered species protection?
As I watch a half-empty Cardinal go by, I'd say McCain is doing the RIGHT thing.

Think before you post.

Your logic is flawed.
A lot of these private jets fly into alternative airports - can the FAA target those too?

Thanks to "Off-shoring Gone Bad", there are plenty of tech jobs around.
Exactly. Creationism is obviously bunk. And anyone who takes the Bible literally... is an idiot.
But do I respect their rights to say what the believe? Absolutely!
And the close-mindedness of both ends of the spectrum is truly sickening.
Uhhh... exactly why would lawyers want to change a system created by them, enforced by them, and controlled by them?
