What, and stop playing pretend? Everyone knows the Constitution doesn't get taken literally. Its very strictness is taken as a license to ignore it whenever convenient.
Not only would the transparency calculations still have to be done, but twice as much info would be sent through the graphics card to drive the overlay display since it requires a card or system with dual monitor support. I propose that this 'hardware' method would actually be slower.
You're getting something for nothing, no matter what way you look at it.
Just like I do with slashdot? Or Tivo? Seriously, corporations influence the laws for their own best interests and theirs ONLY. Just because it's a law does NOT make it moral. Don't be a sheep.

I'm embarassed to admit it, but they're from my hometown- Ridgecrest, CA. They're constantly advertising in our local papers, and it gets pretty annoying at times.
Steve Jobs is a one of very few top level execs with the power to turn his company in any direction he wishes. His risk is their risk. Many people take issue with his style, but it's what has made him such a powerful catalyst in the industry. Apple isn't the be all - end all in computing, and their overzealousness over the years in keeping their OS/hardware closed makes it a good thing that they haven't become the predominant platform, but without them, where would we be? Would Windows/KDE/Gnome look anything like they do or be as far along? I don't think so. I seriously have to credit the quality of my user experience to Apple, even if I run none of their hardware. Like Jobs says, think outside the box!
I believe he was referring to it (Proper spelling and grammar) as a singular entity. Nothing wrong with that.

"The only possible use for the 'backup' features is software piracy." Uh huh. A large proportion of game console users are children, and CDs tend to get scratched. Backups come in very handy. Don't totally insulate yourself from reality as this isn't exactly a rare situation.
"To say otherwise is to brand yourself an idiot." That's rather short-sighted, don't you think?

It's called a laser printer. If you print that much, it's worth it.
Good question - I'd buy one!
Only if you're multiplying the radius. Pi is defined by the ratio of the diameter to the circumference - the distance around a full circle.
Not only would the transparency calculations still have to be done, but twice as much info would be sent through the graphics card to drive the overlay display since it requires a card or system with dual monitor support. I propose that this 'hardware' method would actually be slower.
You'd still have alignment issues, but the LCD would still be in front.
Is it just me, or aren't most of the manufacturer's claims already doable using transparent windows or alpha blending on the desktop?
Like that was a lot better.

So? You misspelled "misspell"!
It is if there's nothing larger within 100 miles.
