Well, I do not know about everything else your experiencing, but to speed up your XP menus (and believe me, I do) search your registry via regedit and find the key "MenuShowDelay" change it from its default 400 (ms) to a more reasonable 50 (ms). Voila.
What are you talking about? Have you ever applied to work with either? I have. It's a lot easier to get a job at the NSA than it is at Microsoft, ESPECIALLY if you ignore security requirements, as you say.
The powerbook is perfect for java development or any development for that matter, why? Directly from http://developer.apple.com/tools/macosxtools.html: Working Fast
The distributed build feature leads Xcode's performance technology lineup. Using Rendezvous, Xcode can farm out your project's compilation to idle desktop machines or even an Xserve build farm, drastically reducing compile time. Enabling near-instant turnaround for bug fixes, Xcode's Fix and Continue feature lets developers change code while the app continues to run.
I don't think this is about privatization. I think this is about the NSA being overloaded with more important things to worry about. Such as the "War on Inanimate Objects", namely, Terrorism. For instance, look at their new hires figures jump from roughly 100/yr, to over 1000. They are busy, they are upgrading, and they are worrying about processing the loads of new data from monitoring an exponentially higher amount of data then they were accustomed to only a few years ago.
I mean, sure good analysis and point about bandwidth. But hey, iTunes music store is as much about exposure for Apple and selling iPods etc, as it is about profit.
Did anybody else have this problem? My.docs arent with word anymore, my.txt's are with GoLive 6 and my pdf's finally show adobe. Though none of the original associations changes...

Maybe others would agree, or perhaps some of you may want to see so for yourselves, but I've always thought that Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream was the best mastered album I've ever heard. The Bass levels are perfect, absolutely perfect.
It doesnt seem you can actually configure a machine with Mandrake 9.1 on it. The customize screen does not allow you to change the OS from Windows. Am I deaf, dumb or blind?
Exactly, Does anybody remember watching the Adobe Photoshop Demo? Unless Adobe did some secretive optimizations for the G5 (which is unlikely as they have not yet released the optimizations for the G4/OS 10.2), then its hard to scoff at the fact that the new G5 did it twice as fast as the Intel Chip. Also, umm a little something called...PCI-X, serial ATA, hypertransport, 8GB RAM, DVD-Burning, among other shite, standard!
C'mon now.
Fuck SPEC benchmarks. How could you trust them unless you did it yourself?

But fuck them. Fuck them in their ears, just as we get fucked in the ears listening to the shitty music they put into the machine. Fuck their silly equations implying what music we "must" like. The stuff in these "speciality" stores is the crap that plagues today's radio stations. I Live in one of the most culturally diverse areas of the US, the New York Metro area, and most of the radio stations here are owned by the same company, and most of them play the same garbage. Do they think we want to listen to a bunch of whiney, scrawny white kids with tatoos or a bunch of illiterate hip hop artists talking about clubs, cars, guns and bitches? I certainly dont, and none of my friends do either. Maybe thats why album sales are down? Maybe its also the 18 dollar sticker adorning the cd's. Have i illegally downloaded music? yes. would i if i felt i had a viable alternative? no. Being morally bankrupt as they are ripping off the consumers, i hope they go financially bankrupt as well.
But isnt it possible that MS made a crappy ass browser, i.e., IE for Mac in attempts to coarce Mac users to PC's. After all, web browsing probably is in the upper 25% of all computer usage, and if users weren't getting a good internet on Mac experience they'd consider switching. And perhaps now they realize that their garbage code is to difficult and time consuming to fix to compete in an arena that never had competition before (before safari came).
Well, with the recent slashdot article [http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/20/14222 43&mode=nested&tid=137] explaining how useless CAS Latencies are in concerts to memory bandwidth, increasing the FSB and CPU to Memory Latency is not a good thing, its a great thing. Intel has my money!
You couldn't pay me the 140 i dished out for OEM XP Pro to use linux. I do however also use OS X equally much, and suffice it is to say, I also would not trade OS X at cost for a linux distribution. For my uses, free OS's in general BLOW. I dont want to configure anything, and still be left with the most unintuitive, redundant, crashing mess that is linux.

Sorry, but did anybody else read these with a southern accent?

Rendezvous, hard to spell, a pleasure to use.

no.
I too read Plone as phone. Consequently, the headline to me read, "O'Reilly Interview with the Phone Flounders". I got a laugh.

Paul G. Allen, name sounds painfully familiar...

there are a million ways around this, though assumingly unbeknownst to most mac users.
