I'd like to announce a new service for those outside the US who would like to take advantage of the new iTunes Music Store. For US $2 per song I will download the song(s) and then email it to you. Full albums would be Apple price plus 50%. Cash only, download will take place only after money is received.
On another topic, does anyone else think the new iPod is shite? Stupid buttons, no standalone FW port anymore so you need to have that dumbass dock everywhere you go? You can't use it as a drive or charge it from any FW-having computer? That totally changes the iPod usage model and makes it *way* stupider. Why oh why would they do this? It makes no sense!
Apple provides a firewire cable with the 'dock connector' on one end and 6pin firewire on the other so you do not have to use the dock, but you will need the cable.
In the 1930s, Lenin was in power in Russia and he started the gulag camps in Russia, which after only a few years grew to some 4800 camps throughout the USSR, enslaingmillions of "traitors".
Wow, that's quite an accomplishment for a guy that died in 1924. Must have been all the borsch and vodka.
Carbon-monoxide is not poisonous, but it can kill you because if there is more of it in the air than oxygen, the process of osmosis in your lungs will admit that, thus starving you of oxygen. (O2 is molecularly similar to CO.)
Where did you get your biology information? JC Penny? Carbon monoxide is very posionous. There doesn't have to be more CO than O2 in the air. The iron in hemoglobin is something like 20x more likely to bind with carbon monoxide than oxygen. And it won't release it as easily once bound. More info here: http://www.howstuffworks.com/question190.htm Secondly, there isn't osmosis taking place in your lungs because water is not moving across a membrane. The process taking place in your lungs is diffusion.
As well as leopard, nittany lion, bobcat, and lynx...and the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu--
Can you picture a world where it will finally be cheaper to do something in-country than ship it over-seas?
Cheap(er) power isn't going to change that. It will still be cheaper to send production overseas because of wages, insurance, higher standard of living, property values, etc. over here. Little Timmy who lives in a hut and doesn't care about bling-bling doesn't need to get paid a lot of money.
However he phrased it, he's on the road to a real point. American tax dollars are being spent outside the country so there is little change of it getting cycled back into the US economy. But if he buys any equipment it'll probably be from an American source (Sun, Intel, etc.) so we could recoup some of it back plus any savings derived from the implementation of the product itself.
I think the idea of the M.C./Feed setup in the Diamond Age was pretty good. Probably not wholly his own idea, but I don't remember ready it before and it wa presented well.

From '22 to '53 it was all Joe

We still have lion and tiger and ocelot! Oh my!

Sierra/Havas/Vivendi does this all the time; look at what they did to Quest for Glory and Space Quest.
And don't forget Outpost
If there isn't a Mac version of this I'm going to become a an angry and bitter person. Well, OK, more so than normal.
I'll buy your broken iPod for $10
Suggested launch years are 2014 or 2018.
I've checked my calendar and I'm free then. Sign me up.
Maybe Vivendi will throw Blizzard in for free

It's full of stars!
Like Theo said, taking the money prevented that money from being used on a cruise missile.
No it didn't.

But he's not selling new, high end Macs. He's reselling old Apple parts.
Well, I've got a 50/50 chance and I vote 'bunk'

Is moving the WWDC back a sign of Panther slipping or is it a sign of progress being better than expected?
...unless they've managed efficiencies approaching the transformer's
How efficient is an energon cube?
Translating the bible? And here I've been thinking that it helped in translating Egyptian hieroglyphs. Boy is my face red.

Hasn't anyone else heard the saying "too many cooks spoil the broth"?
The last slide from the link is the best:
Additional Revenue Streams
* RAMA theme park and rides
* IMAX movie
* RAMA-based video games
* Mass market merchandising
* RAMA collectibles
I can't wait to get a RAMA the coloring book or RAMA the flame-thrower!
Often it seems that things are moving along with the plot and then suddenly the writer hit a deadline so wrote 5 more pages to conclude the book.
I see you too have read Neil Stephenson's Diamond Age.
There is already a working fusion reactor that we can use. Some people call it the sun.
