This is a not a solution, but... Can people file complaints (or whatever they're called) against bill collector firms to screw their credit? Just a thought, I'm in a cranky mood today.
You are going to get one of the most powerful supercomputers and you haven't even figured out what the heck you are going to run on it? Let me guess, a government grant. Man, I wish I knew some senators I could get hookers to blow.
My Mac can full reboot in about 45 seconds. Hibernate mode is "hit space button, sneeze, ah I'm back." Whatever, no one here cares, I'm just like taking jabs at Windows since I spend way to much time fixing them at work.
It's called "make it shiny." As an engineer/tech guy myself, watching PP presentations by manager types make me want to either barf or put my head through the table. They violate basically every single rule of graphical presentation. Yet "it's shiny," so everyone is happy.
Seems like these arguments are based on games that are single player. The most popular games are online and interactive with other players. Sure, there are many single-player games being produced, but they don't make the recurring revenue from the consoles' online services. Why put money into a one-time transaction when you can hook players into a monthly fee?
Gee, I wonder why? iPhone made by one company, Android phones made by several companies. Android phones with all types of different built-in features per phone. When my wife needed a new phone, she wanted a touchscreen phone. But it had to have an external physical lock switch. Yep, that a vote for openness. I had to help my mom find a replacement phone that was as simple as possible; just a phone, nothing else. Yep, she was looking for openness. My dad went out and got the cheapest smartphone he could find, and then bought an iTouch. I guess that is 1 vote open, 1 vote closed.
95%, if not more, of these people "embracing openness" will never do anything besides download an app. Woo hoo. Trying getting out of your nerd group someday and meet some normal people. While doing getting my MIS degree, the question of which phone do you have always came up in every class. When asked about why they picked an Android, out of a couple of hundred I remember only 2 or so who said "So I can hack it" or something similar. Everyone else said "It was cheaper than an iPhone." And these are people getting a Master's degree in Info Science.
Or wait a few weeks and order the USB install drive from the Apple store. If you're so impatient, do one of the silly things people have suggested. Stop whining.
I can't wait til Google starts charging for their services, at which point/. will go ballistic. I'm guessing 3rd quarter 2012. (Maybe that the reason for whole Mayan prophecy?)
So basically you're an example of all that is wrong with academia and business. Just making shit up so you could store a mop. Wonderful, I'm sure the students appreciated their money going to your fraud.
First it's "Mac is too much GUI based." Now it's "Mac has less GUI stuff." Make up your damn minds. As for backup, just burn the installer to a disc or copy to an USB stick.

You missed 'Bob.' Heh.
Windows versions are like 'Star Trek' movies- odd numbers bad, even numbers good (well, you need to convert to MS's conventions, of course).

Give up- you lost already.
Or horror movies, whatever. More politically correct crap. Everyone has to find something to bitch about.

Someone needs to break in and add 'the' to the list.
Only wheat or rye bread is acceptable from now on, young man! Crispy grain-based snacks are now 'snofpluts.'
Can't see a use for 'honkey,' though.
I can see the next gen iPad coming with USB. Unless they try to put the new Thunderbolt interface in. That would be interesting.
Since this comment has lasted about 4oo posts, here is an idea-
If you don't like a closed platform, don't buy it!

Still cheaper than Windows and better than Linux. Hmm.
Really? I just went to the Apple store and Lion isn't on sale yet. I guess you have a time machine?
Or, maybe, you could order the USB install drive from the Apple store?

Or wait a few weeks and order the USB install flash drive from the Apple store.
How many times do I have to repeat this?
Then wait a few weeks and order the USB install drive.

You really had to ask that question? Heh.
