That's all well and good but if the those that supposedly represent the people, and defend the constitution do neither, what are we the governed to do about it? They need the consent of the governed, and yet, the governed now have no other choice but to consent under duress.
If you ask me, what ever government we have now, it isn't restricted by the constitution. Or the founding document of this nation: The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America. Unfortunately, the LAST time we tried to put the corrupted power in check resulted in the rape and ravaging of the Southern states who declared independence from the 3rd monster of the land.
At least you can quickly navigate further up in the tree. Windows otoh obstacles things just a little more with it's rooting behavior for My Documents. I'll take apples rooting behavior any day of the week. Including Tuednesdays.
You personally have had trouble with a legally purchased copy of Windows Vista and WGA? Or are you just parroting the vocal minority because that's the slashdot way? Lets turn this around to privacy and the US government.... there is a common bad argument that goes 'If you're not doing anything than you have nothing to worry about.' Your statement above rings with that exact same argument. There is such a thing as innocent until proven guilty, and both the current government surveillance and WGA violate that basic human right.
WGA assumes you are a crook and phones home to see if it's right, otherwise, why would it phone home? The US government assumes that you're a terrorist, otherwise they wouldn't be going on fishing (phishing?) expeditions. I think that the reality is that both Microsoft and the US government are the terrorists!
Not quite the no nonsense beauty of Google, but hopefully not the cluster fuck of links that Yahoo currently is. yahoo! has ALWAYS been a clusterfuck of links, thats why i almost NEVER used them.
Now i just have to figure out what to do with my flickr (picasa perhaps?) and del.icio.us....
acording to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLV (yes i know, it's wikipedia, take a pound of salt if you must) only recent beta versions of flash support h.264. YouTube uses h.263 for it's web/flash front end. When YouTube rolled out on the AppleTV last year, it was announced that there was an agreement between Apple and YouTube that said that YouTube was transcoding a select few archives (and all new uploads) in h.264 for the AppleTV. iPhone just happens to use the same AppleTV friendly h.264 subset of YouTube. If you try to watch a YouTube movie on the iPhone that is not avalible in h.264, it doesn't transcode on the fly as you imply, but it gives an error about the movie not being avalible.
Thats right. The high quality YouTube on the iPhone is only a subset of the entire YouTube video library.
Flash doesn't such but stupid mobile devices that don't support it DO suck. No matter what video will always require a plug-in. Flash works well for video so people will continue to use it. Get used to it and push for flash support on your devices. 1) Flash sucks because half the web ads out there (especially ones that have stupid special effects that take over the entire page when you mouse over them. I'm looking at you slashdot) are Flash files. No Flash means fewer ads. And no wiz bang in your face ads either. 2) Flash video on the mac sucks ass. Sure we technically have Flash, but you need some high end hardware to get good Flash video frame rates, making it next to useless on lower end hardware. Quicktime, DiVX, and even WMV files play just fine on my lowly iBook, but I get like 4 fps out of flash X_X. 3) Have you seen the iPhone version of youtube? It's not flash, but h.264. Apple is pushing for open standards (something echoed in another comment) on the internet. Flash isn't open, h.264 is. Regardless, some of the videos on youtube look better anyway.
If apple had enabled that feature, they would have had to pay licence fees to microsoft. the iPod is expensive enough as it is, why would i want to pay even more for a feature i'm not interested in, and have no intention of ever using?
If i wanted Microsofts DRM, i'd get a zune - and then download all the universal music i can find for free (i would have paid my piracy tax, i may as well receive my proper compensation)
And Americans have very little right to talk about sovereignty since they have little to no respect for the sovereignty of others.
WRONG
the American civil servants who have come to think of themselves as leaders of nations have little to no respect for the sovereignty of ANYONE - the Sovereign American people included.
And on the flopside I'm bringing some nice noise canceling headphones and an extra laptop battery. Then I can watch movies for the whole trip and not worry about the insanity that is outside of 1 foot in front of my face.
The age of consent in New Zealand is 16. If you take advantage of that on vacation to NZ and admit it upon your return to USA, you will be prosecuted for statutory rape. Or so I've heard.
[snip] The outstanding exception was my Sawtooth G4/866. [snip] My PPC G4 2x1.6GHz machine is currently acting as a very noisy (extra fan for the processor upgrade, extra fan on the new video card) file server. To be honest, I wish I could sell it for enough to get a Mac mini. i have a 1.42 Ghz G4 mac mini i'd be willing to trade you for your/quicksilver/ G4:):D:P
i've gotten it the other way around... I've been told that i have 'the golden ear' when i told someone that they left there CRT tv on. i can hear the picture tube wine when it is displaying all black and no sound. maybe i do have an audiophiles ears, but i am certainly not a snob about it (those apple ear buds sure suck!)
i have trained eyes too. i see all sorts of compression artifacts on digital TVs that nobody else notices. i wish i could turn that ability off! or just bring back the analauge signal!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see why USB and Firewire need to exist. Maybe I'm naive and don't see where there are ad hoc benefits to both. I would like to see a unified standard. I have both on my machine, so there is no compatibility annoyance. I don't see competition benefiting either one really. FireWire = fast lane, USB = slow and middle lane. Do you drive a VW beetle in the fast lane? So why put a mouse on FireWire?
Putting a mouse on FireWire does the same thing as driving a beetle in the fast lane - it causes a backup in traffic. The presence of your mouse would slow down your hard drive.

1 for 3? Ouch!
Doesn't someone have to make a nazi reference BEFORE Godwins Law can be evoked? O_o
your forgetting the L1 cache, maybe 128-256 KB per core... thats up to another meg and a half!
that means we have 9 MB of L2 cache (total) and an additional 16 MB of L3 cache.
now i need to RTFA

How 'bout a USB dongle?
The NT kernel takes a hardware inventory and if it doesn't find a dongle, it won't boot. Throw in some ReadyBoost flash, and you're golden.
