It was the exactly case when I was growing up. Most bullies travel in packs. Often times, they had a network of friends they would call on to find you and wail on you. So you try to build your own network, and so on and so forth. It quickly became an arms race.
You are assuming that the content is tied to a physical machine and not userid like Steam is. If you base it (authentication) on a userid, then the machine you play it on doesn't matter.
The beauty of Unix is that you can update most of the software independently of the kernel. but you're right, if you don't apply updates then you can be vulnerable. Another thing to consider is some faulty HW doesn't get noticed until boot time. So you can never be absolutely certain that it's working. Sometimes there's even silent corruption of the Filesystem.
Or something? Not optimal, I know (and if you're forking out that kind of money, it's kind of wrong to have to resort to it), but is there anything you can put on a glossy screen to eliminate the glossiness?
I hate glossy screens on laptops - they look like shit and are impossible to use for long periods of time. I think I read that these are glass screens(?), so maybe it'll be less annoying than the plastic ones.
Here's a better idea. Why don't you buy a Matte screen appropriate for your purposes, and be done with it.
Why are you so willing spend time and money to modify this thing when you could just buy one that meets it? Does your work require apple HW?
I would actually consider making it my default browser. It is incomplete and that's the reason Firefox still remains my browser of choice on Windows and Linux.
On Mac, I prefer Safari. There, Firefox seems piggish. My needs are modest. It has to be lightweight (on mem/cpu resources)and all I really need is Flash and Adblock.
I would like a cross platform/browser bookmark syncing utility. but that doesn't exist yet. Google Browser sync and Weave are close, but it's Mozilla only for now.
It never fails. In every thread about Phones, There's always some Asshat that shows up that wants "Just a Phone" without the bells and whistles of whatever device is being talked about.
Never mind the fact is these devices exist and can be found easily. They still gripe, and more often than not, get modded up.
"Unlike the 65nm, quad-core Tukwila, Dunnington is produced on Intel's 45nm process. This means that Dunnington uses less power, and indeed, the top-end, 2.66GHz SKU has a 130W TDP (compare Tukwila's 170W TDP). The 2.4GHz part boasts a 90W TDP, and there's a 2.13GHz part that runs at a relatively cool 65W."
What makes you think Canada is better or Safer in the long run? I've go news for you, once they're done in the US, you can bet your maple leaf that they'll be heading up north in fact, it's already started.
IANAME (I Am not a Mechanical Engineer) but history has shown, that Machines/Devices with fewer moving parts are generally more reliable and tend to last longer. Look at Diesel Engines, Turbines, et al. I imagine this applies to SSD's as well.
Trains are actually very simple machines which fall under the rule above.
Fiber is not an option everywhere in NJ (please be more precise.) Here in West Fort Lee (Time Warner land,) Verizon will happily sell me (High Speed DSL) but Fios has been "coming soon" for over 3 years. Meanwhile, most of the towns West of me have it.
I disagree. You call it "Grunt Work." I call it "Increasing replay value."
The unlockable weapons as they pertain to TF2 are there as as an incentive to strive for. Obtaining them only changes the game play mechanics slightly. The new weapons don't significantly boost a players ability to kill off a large number of opponents. As we've seen so far, they all come with an intentional deficiency of some kind in order to keep the game balanced.
That said, I take issue with how Valve implemented the medic achievements. Some of them are damn near impossible to obtain through regular game play and thus the reason for "achievement servers" that have sprung up to help people grind for them. The pyro acheivements IMO, are actually more acheievable. I hope the planned Heavy achievements are along the lines of the pyro.
I was discussing something along these lines with some co-workers shortly after 9/11. We wondered whether or not if some sucide bombers (like in Israel) were to surface and take out some public venues. What would happen? I'm certain we would be royally screwed. There would be martial law declared.
I'm not making excuses for apple. I don't even own an iphone fyi.
A third party tethering solution is not the same as if apple provided the functionality to the core device. Even though at&t can't dictate terms to other carriers in other countries, you can't deny that they don't have some influence over what features apple can/cannot implement.

This and the GP are spot on!

If ATI isn't sold off, they would likely be spun off as a separate entity.
Yes. You need to install the Install Google Gears plugin. (if you're using Chrome, you already have it.)
Google Docs supports an offline mode. You will likely need to install the Gears plugin for your browser to enable this.
FYI, Chrome is unsupported on Win2k as well.
Can you put up a Seriously worthy third-party candidate? I can't. And neither can the Green or independent parties.

I'd tell you my OpenVMS uptime but it would be awkward and uncomfortable to see you cry.

Your comment (and my reply) were specifically in reference to the screen. That was your gripe? Right? Why are you bringing up that you prefer OS X?
My point, is that it's pointless to complain about the screen when you can buy and connect whatever screen you want.
Or something? Not optimal, I know (and if you're forking out that kind of money, it's kind of wrong to have to resort to it), but is there anything you can put on a glossy screen to eliminate the glossiness?

The article from Ars technica says:
"Unlike the 65nm, quad-core Tukwila, Dunnington is produced on Intel's 45nm process. This means that Dunnington uses less power, and indeed, the top-end, 2.66GHz SKU has a 130W TDP (compare Tukwila's 170W TDP).

Intel Yes, but Itanium HW w/ EFI is not quite the same.

Re: your recommendations; You just described Valve's Steam Platform. Not sure item 2, afaik, no game has ever been "expired" on steam or otherwise.
There's thing called Google you should try it sometime, type in the words: build a laptop and it shows you a list of websites on the topic.
