I suppose I could tell you that you can bind a keyboard shortcut to any menu item in any application on OSX, but that probably wouldn't count, now would it? I mean, it's OK to have to learn complicated stuff on Windows, but on a Mac it's supposed to be psychic or something.

I think that the poster probably meant "a keyboard that is not operated by the second and third least-dextrous appendages on my body".
How exactly is the cop going "to lose" if he decides to arrest you?
He can arrest you because your shoes are untied.
They can't make the charges stick, of course, and you might well have a nice lawsuit on your hands, but in most jurisdictions you can be held for 24 hours for lookin' shifty.

I've got $20 on the librarians. I need to make a "Hug a Librarian!" t-shirt, maybe with some allusion to the fact that librarians seem to be just about the only people left in this country with the stones to actually tell law enforcement to stick it.
Ah, so because I am in favor of anonymous Republican delegates, I must be in favor of the Republican party.
Hold on to your socks:
I'm in favor of anonymous Democratic delegates too.
I'm opposed to harassing anybody for their political views.
I know, I know, it's hard to understand how somebody can take a nuanced (that is, not binary) attitude towards political issues. I bet if you try hard, you can learn how to do it yourself.
I tend to believe that the press has gotten a little out of hand with their Mandate to Inform at the expense of personal privacy and security. That's not to say that the press should always be prevented from intruding on my privacy, nor that they should never be prevented: Only that we need to take a closer look at the problem.
Note: I think it's totally bogus that the SS is involved. There is no reason whatsoever to suspect anything other than some journos got a little crazy with their Republican hating.
Nother Note: I hate the current Republican party too. I also hate the Democrats, and anybody else who thinks that "Us" and "Not Us" are valid ways of charting policy decisions.
What about the right of the convention-goers to support the Republican party with their own freedom to speak anonymously?
Gosh, it's kinda complicated to balance the needs of the many with the needs of the few, isn't it?
If the public interest is served by the publication of these names and addresses, then they should be published. If not, journalistic discretion should prevent them from being published.
What purpose could be served, save harassment of the delegates? Should the fundie Christians be allowed to publish lists of abortion doctors' home addresses, with the admonition that somebody should "do something" about these guys?
I don't know the answer. I do know that the question is a complicated one.
Since humans are the only entities in the ecosystem that can think about things like populations being out of control, I'd venture to guess "according to humans".
No, deer were put here so that predators could eat them.
I am a predator. Deer are tasty. Deer shot cleanly by hunters are better than deer hit by cars, because I for one don't eat roadkill.
I can scroll through a list of 6000 songs in about eight seconds on the iPod (should I ever want to do something so silly...much easier to blow through the list of artists, which goes by even faster).
You really underestimate how good that scroll wheel is. Its response is nonlinear so it can be crazy fast and also controllable.
I've tried the others, and they simply don't compare. If you bought something else, and you're happy with it, that's great. You don't need to bag on the iPod to validate your choice, though.
Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't realize I was talking to another.ogg partisan.
Me, I've got gigabytes of music in my proprietary pointy-stick and wet-clay compression algorithm, and I have a hard time finding players to work with that as well. The only one I know of looks like a Jeep with a big ass tone arm sticking out the back. They look at me funny when I try to get on an airplane with it.
Show me one Apple source that has been hyping the G5 iMac. No, go ahead, I'll wait.
Apple's been very up front about the fact that they had some planning and supply issues, which is why the G5 iMac was delayed, and they've got nothing in the channel right now. This is MILES from what OQO's been doing for, like, ever.

Yeah, nobody but you should have hot water, or a safe drinking supply. Those darn third world people should just get used to not using any energy.
You're an ass.
And this thing is, what? About four times the volume and cost of a GameBoy.
Not exactly a "throw it in my pocket in case I want to mess with it" sort of thing.
You're a dumbass. And so is the person who modded you up.

I loathe thumb keyboards.

It'd be even easier to have a little port on the back where the user could attach a TV tuner if they need one.
Oh wait...
I wonder if the thermal engineers and the circuit engineers talked to each other and came up with a way that works best for both requirements.
I mean, it's almost like they thought about this stuff before starting production or something!
guess again.
Shipped in 1997. The Gateways were later, and crappier (although MUCH less expensive).
Nice try though!
Internal Bluetooth module is a build-to-order option.
Have a nice day!
You might not be able to operate an iPod one handed...I do it every day.
You can have your thumbwheel.

Hate to break it to you...
What, so a product has to 0wn more than 50% of the market to be a success? Glad you're not grading MY tests...
Er, what innovation? I mean, other than the crappy user interface and the firmware that crashes?

So why does this make Apple like OQO, which is vying for King of Vaporware with Duke Nukem Forever?
Apple has not been hyping the G5 iMac to the rafters. OQO has been hyping themselves to the rafters, with no product forthcoming.
Apple may well have made a different set of mistakes, but they are not, as the post I replied to implied, like OQO.
Show me one Apple source that has been hyping the G5 iMac. No, go ahead, I'll wait.

What sucks about them? They seem to be doing pretty darn well...
They're well designed, rugged, and poplar. I wish more products "sucked" like that.
Fuck "cool". I've never been cool in my life, and I don't miss it. I bought an iPod because it works better.
Yeah, and it also doesn't support any of the codecs I wrote in LOGO.
What the hell are you talking about?
Because a 5gb full-sized iPod won't cost much less to manufacture than a 20gb.
Once you get a higher density platter manufacturing process, making low capacity drives is a) foolish and b) not cost-effective.
