Maybe people shouldn't be allowed to pump gas at all. We can have robots do it. Wait, robots are electronic devices, too. Darn. Maybe we can get the professor to devise a coconut/palm frond/wicker pumping apparatus that'll ensure safe gas pumping forever.
It's somewhat eerie, but I read that a common less mythological explanation for the Great Chicago Fire is that a meteorite struck in a few places. Not some cow tipping over a lantern.
I bet insurance companies are gonna create specific language excluding meteorites from homeowner coverage.
the herman miller analogy makes the problem at apple even more evident. when you get on of those chairs, you see and feel the difference. with the mac, it used to be that you knew you were getting a machine that screamed. back when the 604e was running around 250-300, the PCs couldn't touch them. now you have to really figure out where the value is in a $5000 2.5g machine. you want heman miller, get an sgi box, or something.
i'm an avid mac user. i'm waiting to see what comes out of big blue's new fab plant in NY. why can't we get POWER4, etc on the mac? these are the interesting points for me. i don't see x86 ever really happening.
how about when i'm sitting at my desk mixing my cd and all of a sudden *POOF*... smoke out the back, not displaying sh*te, and a nice sizzling sound out the back. drat, now what? oh yeah! i bought 3yr AppleCare! i call, they say, "do you need a box to ship in?" yes. "OK, well send you a box with a shipping label." FedEx dropped off a box, picked up the the box, a couple days later, i had my montor back. yes, it would have been cooler if it hadn't broken. but they didn't ask if i had been transporting it in the front seat of a car in all sorts of positions... ohhh, that sounds nasty...
anyway, Apple Support is good. not to mention their software support.
DoSing the RIAA is a waste of time. it is just fueling the argument against the P2P folks. P2P is a waste of time, too. it would be different if people were trading public domain works. it would be different if the P2P clients we not for profit. it would be different if distributing music over P2P wasn't actually theft. give it a rest.
if you think artists aren't seeing enough of the revenue, persuade the artists to stop signing crappy record deals.
Agreed. IBM Continues to develop PowerPC chips well ahead of Motorola. Motorola is content with their embedded chips and see fit to focus on 604e, etc, chips for vending machines cell, phones, and microwaves rather than pushing Power Macs. Let's see the 64bit AMDs in a mac case, too. something's got to give.
even if it is the case that the US "steals" the inventions, the brits must be a bunch of ninnies for allowing it to happen so often and therefore deserve nothing.

So elegant. I love the pressboard, conduit clamps, and the PVC! It really sets of the fine leather interior and other creature comforts of the Saab.

Well, maybe if the BARS didn't serve ALCOHOL people wouldn't get DRUNK and need to be tracked like SHEEP. /.burp

a/v doesn't stop welchia.
a firewall is no defense against a dolt plugging their infected laptop into your network... kaboom!!
patches? we don't need no steenking patches!
The Mac in the camera instructions looks just like my 9500/180MP. That's hilarious.
not any more confusing than scsi...
I think the chips are being fabbed in NY.
I don't think that's Asia, yet.

what happened to the teenagers? it's quite a tragedy to lose one, but THREE?
does that mean IEEE 1394 was the result of a comittee formed in april of year 139?
is he saying that jobs isn't out of his mind?
1)make a brash announcement of technology that's "under development" (bet there's a PDF ver.)
2)make a bunch of know-nothing investors uneasy
3)kick them while they're down
4)buy them
there should be limits on freedom.

c'mon now, people. you're not even trying.
If not for /., TechTV's Screen Savers would actually have to do research.
