The USSR didn't exactly want the Chinese Revolution to happen. The USSR was trying to rebuild after WWII and would have to defend itself and China in the event of another war breaking out as a result of the Chinese Revolution. In fact, Stalin, as head of the Comintern, instructed Mao not to begin insurrection and to work with the nationalists in defense of China against Japan. Mao took half of that advice, forming the Eighth Route Army under Chaing Kai Shek's nationalist Koumintang, but left himself and Chu Teh (Zhu De) in charge.
I have a 2005-era Mac Mini. I love it. However, it's getting a bit slow, and the new ones are barely faster, and cost twice as much. Apple's getting harder and harder to defend these days.
Your 2005-era Mini likely has a PowerPC G4 (7447A) processor, with one core, running at 1.3 or 1.5GHz. According to MacTracker, the 1.5 averages a score of 822 on GeekBench 2. Even a bottom of the line (2.26GHz) Mini from late 2009 (as MacTracker doesn't have today's update yet) averages a 3056 with an Intel Core 2 Duo.
The system bus has gone from 167MHz to 1066MHz, L2 cache from 512K to 3MB.
If your current machine works for you, then it's a good machine. But compared to what you have the new model is significantly faster.
Seriously though, most people don't know what an IP address is, and don't care. There are ways that this could be made easier (when you log in from a "new-to-gmail" IP more than a few times, have it ask you to label as Home/Work/Friend's House/etc), but 1.2.3.4 means nothing to most people outside of/. It's just that computer-speak anyway and "I never need to worry because I've got this friend in Nigeria who's giving me lots of money".
I've got some old Sun stuff around that still runs - 3 or 4 SPARCstation 1 boxes (1989), an Enterprise Server 250 (mid-90s), Ultra 60/Creator 3D (?). They all work, to some degree but some make better furniture than workstations right now.
For example, the Ultra 60 is covered with a tablecloth and is a side-table next to my couch. The tower of SPARCstation1 systems is similarly decorated and holds up a lamp. The E250 was mostly used as a heater in old apartments.
There is a $29 US Ethernet adapter. Not that it's a good option, but it's an option. Wonder if it's supported in the firmware (to support netboot). No word on that yet, of course.
If you were affected by the storm that hit parts of the East Coast over the weekend, the IRS has granted a 2-day tax extension. Just write "April 16 Storm" on your return.
Scenario #6: 1. $PRESIDENT and $EXECUTIVE_BRANCH_POLITICIANS do everything that they can to prevent anything even resembling a terrorist attack 2. Mooninites! 3. People across the world laugh, and laugh, and laugh. Americans laugh until they get the bill from Uncle Sam at which point everyone else laughs harder.
[OT] Was that at the RNC in 2004? I used my video tape to get BS charges against myself (and possibly a few others arrested in Times Square) dropped. Hell, my ACLU lawyer didn't even have to show up in court. I just had the tape in my hands.
The "rebels" are mostly the Iraqi people defending themselves against an occupying nation. The principle of self-determination gives them every right to do so.
Your partner can't see anything you type unless there's a match. So your partner wouldn't have seen your ex's number unless s/he also typed it in, and who knows what that would mean...
Boot Camp 1.1 (released today) claims to better support the keyboard. Just downloaded and installed, but haven't had a chance to try it out on my MacBook Pro yet.
For the majority of our software (Office, Quark, Creative Suite), we have a site license that covers all computers necessary. For example, everyone gets Office, so our site license covers everyone (plus a few). Only Creative and Studio get CS, so that's not on the Account Service build, and we have enough licenses to cover those other two groups.
Any other software, we install manually or use ARD to push.
In terms of using the Restore feature of Disk Utility, it works the same way. Of course, you have to build the image on an Intel machine, but you can pretty much use any PPC or Intel Mac to clone any PPC or Intel Mac. We use Target Disk Mode to do it here. Haven't tried NetInstall because we're too busy to get the server working, but I've heard that it works for Intel Macs as well.

I think the reference was to Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize last year, despite ongoing occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Have they perhaps had a referendum...
No, they had a revolution.

CERN reported that "We have captured it! First circulating beam of 2009!" at 21:02 today.
One press and all the way down you go ;-)
Ooh, look. Turtles!

Hello (hello, hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?

What you're referring to ("FairPlay encrypted M4A") is also known as an M4P file. P = Protected.

I'm sorry. Could you please provide a link to There.Is.No.Other.Movie.torrent?
Thanks.

At the point when you're "scared enough to buy a gun," it will probably be too late for you to do so.
