The heat generated by the tiny microchip the professor is using can't even be compared to the heat generated by the CPU, graphics card, etc. It is negligible.
That's not true, otherwise ADSL users would not even bother. I must cap my upload speeds to 5k/sec, yet I routinely download at my max speed (150k/sec.) BitTorrent does have a swapping system that rewards you for uploading, but it by no means stops leeching.
I view that more as a promotion to get people into their retail stores than as a benevolent act to Mac users. If you go to a VW dealer, for example, they'll give you a $50 Amazon certificate.
10.1 wasn't available for download, however. You had to pay Apple for them to send you the "free" update.
Supposedly they didn't put it up for download because it was too big, and they only charged fair shipping and handling... That's bullshit though. CDs cost $1.06 to send and $0.10 to buy (both of these are much less when dealing in extreme bulk.) Apple charged $20.
iDisk uses the standard WebDAV protocol which has always been supported by Windows XP. You can add an iDisk to your "Network Places" just like FTP or Samba.
Uh, that wasn't a troll. As you might gather from my user name, I'm quite the Mac fan.
However, I've built a few PCs myself and I'm very aware that FireWire isn't a Mac exclusive, for example. You can pick up a FireWire PCI card for $20 at Fry's or get a motherboard with it built in. Hell, my Audigy soundcard has FireWire in it. FireWire 800 will be just as ubiquitous very soon.
Gigabit Ethernet: again, $30 at Fry's.
Wireless networking: AirPort equivalents are everywhere.
iChat, iTunes, Safari, etc... Well, I sincerely hope you don't believe that there are no decent MP3 players, chat clients, web browsers, and other core components of your computer available for PCs.

At godaddy.com, $200 would buy you 28 years.
Considering Metal Slug X (1999) was released way after Duke Nukem, I think it's safe to say that there was no influence.

Then how do you explain the fact that Google and many other popular websites reflect this 3% statistic in their traffic logs?

By "Steve Jobs" I think you mean "Steve Balmer"

Guns sometimes jam. The military uses guns.
I have a torch I carry around anyway.
I think you're right. You're not part of their target market, Og.
There are enough bugs in my computer as it is...
I switched to PCs about 6 months ago. I was quite the maclot too (notice the name.)
Acquisition is a Cocoa front end for Limewire.
The title of the HTML document is "prcpreferred.html".

just a heads up.
Backwards compatibility.
Why else did Google buy Blogger?

Oh, I see. I don't like to read articles.
"Also, there's still a couple people waiting on Duke Nukem Forever, and their patience is wearing thin."
Sorry, but I don't understand the correlation between GTA and vaporware. Has Take Two ever not released promised software?
"If _I_ had an ISP, I wouldn't comment either (I'd just go for another swim in my money....)"
Considering AOL just posted a loss larger than Russia's entire budget, I don't think money swimming is a common sport over there.
And I have the 80,000 hit for the word 'sex' yet I still get 100-200 hits per day from Google and Yahoo.
I think people tend to do more complex searches.

Why not?
