I think a Mac Mini would fit better though, as it supports a lot of free/open software (a lot of these are well-integrated to Mac OS too) AND a lot of commercial software to boot. In comparison, Linux doesn't have much by the way of commercial software support.
I really think that's a pretty odd way to put it. The system was designed so that people of a state decide as a state which president they want. Generally it does balance itself out, only a handful of elections might have gone differently if the Electoral college, because the second-place party in any given state might be different from the next. Also, it does reduce the influence of the larger states so they can't as easily arbitrarily force a president onto the union to the detriment of smaller states simply by sheer numbers.
The value of the system seems to have diminished, some of the worries of a direct popular vote seem to have been unfounded. I do think it should be changed.
I still use Yahoo maps, but the difference is that Google's version is a lot less cluttered, less confusing and easier to use. In short, they are doing the same thing everyone else is doing, but better. The only reason I don't use Google maps is they didn't have direction finding last I checked.
Google is doing a lot of stuff that is already done by other companies, but with a better look, more sensible layout and overall better ease of use.
This is, afterall, my opinion, but it seems to be similar to those elsewhere in this forum.
I just hope that they continue to improve everything they've already established as well, and they don't overextend themselves.
I don't know how other countries handle it (both are international organizations), but two organizations can legally share the same abbreviation in the US, it doesn't matter who was "there" first. Two organizations can have the same abbreviation trademarked too, they just can't be in the same categories, and there are hundreds of categories to choose from, and I think the design must be different, the logo designs were hardly "confusingly similar".
But both organizations do concern themselves with animals, just of a different nature.
I used to disagree with "hate crime" laws but then I realized their point. Yes, most people don't commit violent crime because they love their victim. But that's not the point.
The purpose of Federal hate crime legislation is to give the Federal government authority to go in and investigate should the local enforcement NOT do his/her job because said prosecutor, police and justice agrees with the crime because they too hold those prejudices. There are places where a crime against blacks or gays might not be thought of as a biggie and swept under the rug. In most cases, I wouldn't like encroachment of federal power, but it IS a human rights issue and at this point, the local justice system would be broken so someone needs to step in.
I don't know how the Dutch do it, but in the US, corporations can buy the research. Maybe some get it for free, but IIRC, most research has to be paid for to get exclusive rights.
It isn't as if OS X 10.3 will spontaneously delete itself from the hard drive because you didn't buy 10.4.
10.3 is still a fine OS, most of 10.4's features are relatively minor updates anyway, save for Dashboard and Spotlight. There are some issues that need to be worked out with 10.4 anyway.
I think it is really nice, I tried it out. My monitor doesn't have a swivel mount, but it has a VESA mount point so I might machine a swiveling mount out of aluminum.
The funny thing is that some people thought it was hidden and are upset that it isn't in Apple's "200+ features" list.
I want something that's thinner and lighter than a CRT, without plasma burn-in, doesn't suffer from LCD's horrible color gamut, is sharper and cheaper than DLP, and lasts longer than OLED.
I'm with the last poster, you really need a unicorn.
DLP is actually pretty sharp, any blurry DLP set is most likely a mal-adjusted set.
I really don't think LCD is that bad. Like any display technology, if a new display looks bad, it may very well be poor calibration.
OLED simply isn't ready, without breakthroughs (I haven't heard of them) they won't be in large displays for a good while.
whining about how none of the stores are willing to sell a song in a format the iPod will take.
Real was willing. They had a program, but Apple released an update that quietly voided that compatibility. Apple won't let other companies produce DRMed files that are iPod/iTunes compatible.
I think that makes sense. A minor addition: If you had to have iTunes 4.8, you can download it directly now, from apple.com.
I thought Microsoft's XP SP2 was available through downloads.microsoft.com that way too. I really don't know for sure as I didn't have Windows XP at that time.
What you don't understand is that hyperthreading, dual core & dual processing is good for multi tasking. Some people actually run more than one app or service at a time, and the computer will be more responsive. It looks like AMD has no wattage penalty for this, which is good.
If readers didn't get the above replies, duel and dual are two very different words. Dual is a word used for "two", duel is a word for a fight.
I think it is a chicken and egg thing, developers of performance intensive software will try to optimize for multicore if there is demand for it.
I think the box packaging also says XP is Windows version 2002, and if you go by the system internals, it is something like version 5.1 (2000 is version 5.0). Windows NT is the real predecessor to 2000, being 4.0.
I think the problem is that there are better forums for that. Slashdot is a bit of an old news / duped news / anti-SCO site than a technical support site.
If it shares memory with system memory, I've seen onboard graphics drags down system performance. Sometimes on-board memory means no expansion slot to upgrade the graphics card.
If a person wants to play games, well, I haven't seen a desktop motherboard with integrated ATI 95xx+ or nVidia 5xxx series graphics or better.
Neither the Supreme Court nor the **AAs really define language. The first might define law or interpretation of it, the second is trying to exploit law.
The theft vs. copyright infringement it is a matter of splitting hairs, sometimes by people trying to justify what the are doing.
The way I can see it is: someone having something that they don't have a legal right to have. To be honest, it sounds like theft to me.
Theft doesn't necessarily have to mean depriving the original owner. A person could steal a car, joyride in it and return it in original condition before the owner needed to use it, unawares, but it doesn't stop the act from being called theft.

Not just entrepreneurs. There are some small companies that expect that their handful of server admins be on call, effectively all the time.
The options are: don't have a life or find some other job or career.
If a company can't do without an employee for a weekend, then that company is either in trouble anyway or are inviting trouble.

I couldn't find copies of the offending O'Gara articles, but that interview did reek of a reality distorting bubble.

All it shows is that even in the face of crushing dominance, that there is room for niche competitors.
Wow, five million sets? Is there some way to corroborate that? Not that I disbelieve it, as it does seem to be selling pretty well.

Nice HD capable TVs start at $450.
You don't need to have the absolute best to take advantage of it. You don't need a Bentley to take advantage of a new highway.

Don't forget the neon. Neon always makes the car faster.
I guess it's a good thing that Califorians passed the law for California, than a law passed by a midwest state.
Let's only call it the sport of computing if you are using an 8086. Using an Athlon or Pentium 4 is just too easy.

1Gb/s on-chip controllers are also already starting to appear.
Starting? Heck, dual GigE ports are starting to appear on some high end desktop boards.
