You can move between systems with no difficulties. That is why OS X is better than [insert window manager here]. My grandma can use OS X on any system she sits down at (same goes for Windows). Try to explain the merits of KDE over Gnome or Mandrake over Slackware. She doesn't give a rats ass. Apple runs Apple to her. When grandma can sit down at a purchased preinstalled linux box and it makes any kind of sense, I'll be the first to recommend it. Until then Linux is still the mixing pot of every stupid program out there. There is no reason I should need disk 3 of the redhat set to install xvim! 3 f'in disks. If bloatware Windows can still fit on 1 disk and OS X can fit on 2 disks what the hell is the problem with redhat?
Oh well I guess that's why I prefer slackware.
The best thing about OS X is the UNIX underbelly is hidden from the GUI. To get to it you must be in a terminal. 99% of OS X users probably don't even know it's there or what to do with it anyway.
The cost of a ink cartridge is 90%+ of the cost of owning and maintaining a inkjet printer. The battery in an array from sun/compaq is much less than 1% of the cost.
Plus my bet is you'd put up with the cost of replacing cache batteries instead of losing whatever the battery is there to protect (transactions and such).
Let's see, things common in Oklahoma, not in Europe: 1) Women shaving Pits, Legs (OK Yes, Euro No) 2) Correction for sorry ass crooked teeth (OK Yes, Euro No) 3) Hygiene, (aka Taking a shower, brushing teeth, using deodorant, etc) (OK Yes, Euro No) 4) High standard of living (OK Yes, Euro No) (I make over 180K/year that's about 110 pounds, doubtful the Euro-Trash makes that much, however since he is "so far evolved" I'm surprised) 5) Taxes that are equitable (OK Yes, Euro No)
I'd have to say overall Euro-trash is far behind in most areas. I wonder when they will "evolve".
I am however impressed you got Arthur correct. BTW Arthur Andersen didn't innovate, they got in trouble for "cooking the books" as it's called in the industry. That wasn't an Andersen "innovation" as you call it. Having been in several accounting firms and several large corporations, you can be assured that there are a significant amount of companies "cooking the books".
However, office space is cheaper in my area (Oklahoma City/Norman, Oklahoma) and there are problems with people renting business space for living (like in downtown, etc).
He's stating his experience. I've encountered the same. If you have friends from India/Bangladesh (sp?) their way of living is completely different than ours. It's stupid to assume that different cultures can solve problems the same way. I have friends from all over the world and everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. It's not racism to stereotype.
For example, my Asian friends (not born in America) have the most difficult time in Business Law (Legal Studies). This has nothing to do with intelligence or race. It has to do with the norms and mores of our society being learned from an early age. Laws are implemented and administered very differently in SE Asia than they are here. As a result all my Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and Philippine friends struggle to understand the way Business Law works.
So take your narrow minded quick to yell "racist" shit elsewhere. Political Correctness is the worst fucking excuse for calling someone racist I've seen yet.

I live in a state where the people elect a Democratic Gov., Democratic Senate, Democratic House, and every national elected official is a Republican? How the fuck does that jive? If I hear one more dipshit say "I vote for the person, not the party." I'm going to lose it, these are the same people if you ask them 10 questions about the candidate they voted for they would be lucky to get more than 5 right (assuming they are true/false questions). Vote for the person my ass, more like vote for the better commercial.
That's why I use Linux on the server side and OS X (Unix with a great GUI) on the desktop. Unfortunately I'll have PC's too for the forseeable future as I support software on them and enjoy playing video games.
My experience is ssh beats the hell out of terminal services. It requires less bandwidth, it's secure, it's quick and you can do anything needed without a GUI in Unix. Windows has crap all over the place. It takes about 3 times as long to harden a new Windows Server as it does a comparable (services) Unix box.
Granted I only admin Linux and Solaris so I cannot speak to AIX/HPUX/IRIX/*BSD/... I'm sure they are quite similar. If you want to see good Unix GUI tools go look at the OS X Server Tools. Very cool.
Do what you want, being a sociopath is okay in my book (I am). Just learn to control it, or create your own system of morals. This way your never in conflict (unless you really are nuts and like being a hypocrite, a la the republican party).
Actually I think the main problem with java is the JFC implementation. It's so painful to work with my company has switched to C++ classes on the back end and GTK/MFC/ObjC-Cocoa for the front ends (Linux/Windows/Mac respectively).
I find this is the only way to be certain our software will work as desired on all platforms and conform to the users expectation of how it should opperate.
Granted you can use gjc or java in cocoa but it doesn't seem to be as viable a solution as just using C++ Classes and a custom front end.
It doesn't work that way unfortunately. You have to keep the whole 512MB stick charged to keep the ram stable for the OS. You cannot only keep part of the ram charged. The more ram you have the more charge it takes to keep the system up. Believe me, I have a dell inspiron 8100 with 2 slots and I have used it with 2 256mb chips and 1 256mb chip and the 1 chip config uses less power (15-20 minutes worth on a 2.5-3hour battery). So since I keep a watch on my ram usage in windows I rarely need more than 256mb anyway (384 is common in OS X on my mac). So when I need to go mobile I just pull out 1 chip. When i'm in desktop mode (AC Power) I pop it back in. 20 minutes makes a big difference when flying across the country and not wanting to be bored.
However, here in Oklahoma Guns and Toys are synonymous. In fact why else would you need shooting ranges, hunting licenses,... Hunting is a sport, sports are games, guns are used in hunting, therefore guns are toys (albeit dangerous ones).
You may not make as much cash as you would from a successful IPO. However, you're only accountable to a few owners instead of 10's of thousands of owners.

Dumbass this was taken care of years ago. Right click does the same thing as CTRL-Left Click. The scroll wheel works and everything.
Guess I'll see you at the Apple store (doubtful).

That would be disgusting. I mean that aussie didn't even seem to shower regularly.

Thanks for the link. I have a new desktop background, I hope it doesn't offend anyone at work.
runs OS 9 & OS 10, iLife, More Video Ram on low end model, 100MHz is 12.5% faster clock speed all for the same price.
What's your beef again?
I'm getting one of these for my wife (and it will be mine if she doesn't like it!).

Lol, how far things have come.

Everything the author said would make life using a Mac easier, more productive and significantly more intuitive.

How do you think the RAM holds it's charge? Magic?
256MB is fine on a PC and 384 is fine on a Mac. The only apps I've used that could use more are PS 7 and Eclipse (could use 2GB if you could add it).
