see iw as there with him one of the times, and they put his ram in in front of him and it powered up.. and then we went out to the car and it stopped working
he went back inside (i didn't want to see the violence) while i waited in the car
and came back out exasperated, and without the laptop as they took it for Yet Another Week
mind you he has cancer, and the whole reason he had the laptop was so that he could use it in teh hospital during his chemotherapy treatments and they continously made repair time promises and broke them savagely...
this story goes on and on as similar events happened.. i asked him if they had some kind of lemon law policy.. i think what happened in the end is he bought the Apple Ram and it magically started working...
the competition provided linux by osx's seamless unix integration into a stylish and functional os will help to drive it and make it better
the two feed off of eachother like one of those little algae and shrimp globes; they both benefit
the only one who stands to lose is M$, i say that they (osx/linux) should compete with eachother because with each user using either one they take one away from M$ (apple contributes to opensource projects/they take what they sow and the people doing the coding for free get professional backing and legitimacy by someone who has been around, apple)
gain speed? cause i know i'm not (lets not mention the fact you make the statement that the xeons are outclassed by 41 percent but you say the system is 71% slower.. missing 10 percent.. and that is only in reference to ONE benchmark.. but i digress)
as for support, my bestfriend has a g4 powerbook that he has returned repeatedly and been lied to vehemently by the apple store here in indy as it has a broken ram slot and they swore up and down they replaced the board 3 times and it is STILL there and STILL broken and STILL killing brand new dimms that they refuse to acknowledge as being their problem because the ram isn't Apple ram so they claim it's the ram that is bad not the Clearly broken dimm slot.. i've been up there twice and he's been several other times.. their "support" is abysmal.. and they hold the machine for weeks when they have it...
having said all that, and owning no macs (save an old ppc 7200 that is laying at my ex-g/fs basement) i like osx and have no problems with apple but the original poster is right
apple caters to elitists, and they finally found (another) large niche market of those to tap into -- unixgeeks =)
besides the most intensive thing i do is play ET so i don't need dual flat paneled anything, making both machines grotesquely expensive and worthless from my standpoint
yes the apple machines are nice, but they're also extremely expensive.. and i awnt to see some of the big *nix stations do some kind of comparable benchmarks.. i would like to see if hte sun/sgi are fucked posts are accurate..
ashcroft with a cellphone database that tracks patterns in your movements and then makes decisions on them "for your benefit"?
hoorray for another invasive worthless system
you know it's a matter of time before the data is subpoenaed (sp?) and used Against You In A Court of Law because afterall gov't isn't jsut for national security it's for being yoru parent.. i wonder how long before we have curfews enforced by tracking devices that WE pay for..
but this is under the guise of a service, so it must be okay

"you are plagued by feelings of abandonment and disgust for your backstabbing step brother..."
they had lots of missing answers though, the bset SW movie is Return of the Jedi, if i were going ot be late fo rwork i owuldn't shower OR shave OR brush my teeth i would be in the fucking car..
nonetheless you seem like an insanely busy motherfucker judging from your website, when did you find time to write a book
the larger ones had a second brain in the back and the first one would send a signal and have it relayed to the other end of the massive beast and it would take 10 seconds from end to end to react, so if i chopped off the tip of the tail with an axe it would take that long for it to feel it and react.. (as i recall from watching a video on dinosaurs 150x as a kid)
i would love to see if this strategy plays out cause it's the best one i've heard thus far
i myself have talked to the fbi (once as a victim, once as the falsely accused and indirectly ie through my father that last time)
and have been the victim of extended DDoS attacks which my cable provider (comcast cable in evansville indiana, at the time) totally refused to do anything about, this same guy cracked my server because i knew him and he did it to backstab someone else (yes machiavellian politics are alive and well) (and he had an account) so i had some information on him, i had traced the ips and found out the blocks and failing any action by anyone i posted to the Bugtraq Incidents list, which i highly reccomend to anyone... shortly thereafter i was contacted by other individuals who it turned out were after the same guy for some similar things and i gave them all the information i had and basically sat around and waited for the attack to stop (a 3-day weekend)
i don't really know what happened with it but at least the bugtraq list is somewhere to vent some of your frustration and show what you have and possibly get some help...
see the thing is, (and i still have die bags although mine has a pipe in it;)) that whether you follow the rules or not you are always a criminal in the eyes of the gov't because that is the only way they can exercise absolute control over you, in the name of protecting everyone else from your "terrorism"... the fact is even speed limits are set so that you will break them..
as for your last line:
"Sociopaths are not human. Destroy them before they destroy you. Don't waste your good conscience on them, because they haven't got one."
after a rant about "BushCo" i'm utterly suprised by this, was not the entire iraqi fiasco designed as a strike-first ask questions later kind of deal? (WMD OBL and Saddam?? but who remembers them right)
if you were to act on your own advice you would become them, just another zealot trying to kill someone else because they "are not human" based on them not being in line with your world view =)
i'll assume you put that because you were angry an sometimes passion outweighs reason (and if you look through my posts you will definitely see that)
for a new reality show called American Justice where lawyers compete in trials and people pay money to call in and decide which team of lawyers is hottest (and therefore wins) and just like the people's court the decisions could be made binding by having the corporations/guest litigants sign contracts (which could themselves be spun off when they inevitably end in litigation themselves) deffering (sp?) to the judgement of this travesty...
we'll both be rich; somehow
am i the only one who is cynical, morose, and somber simultaneously today?
they're not trying to wake a sleeping giant they're trying to light matches between it's toes while throwing ice cubes at it's head.. and when IBM gets around to it there will be some serious godzilla style trampling...
having been involved in lots of lawsuits (and not losing your shirt) doesn't make you a professional litigious bastard it makes you lucky one
you must be fucking your relatives over because that is definitely *not* how it works for the rest of us (shit if you can get 75% from ebay maybe i have some things for you to sell for me)
if $100,000 a year is middle class i guess i've been downgraded to starving-mexican-in-a-truck-crossing-the-border on the my-income-determines my-class-and-thus-my-value (to society?) scale
Are you not passing judgement by posting? It's obvious you don't agree so why did you even bother? As for imposing personal balance.. that is all around you already, assuming you're an American the Christian United States of America makes it illegal to do anything *they* deem immoral or especially unproductive (no cheating on your wife is okay, but not while you have a joint hanging out of your mouth because then you're a terrorist). Welcome to Democracy where you check your rights at the door, notice the pledge of allegiance is to the REPUBLIC.. what happened to that? it vanished a long long time ago you live in the aftermath, welcome to it.
no, a little electrogadet CREATED in Japan for the Japanese.. and oh yea.. later we might throw the US dog a bone since they have money we might be able to take from them...
my guess would be they can flaunt them becuase they're working together, everyone knows that the gov't needs and wants back door programs into all the gov'ts in the world
and what OS do all of those govt's (with a handful of exceptions) use on all their desktops?
yea they might need a translator to read Chirac's email but so what, they have everything they need
see the gov't needs M$ so that they can leverage the M$ monopoly to their benefit, the anti-trust trial was a travesty designed to lull the unsuspecting public into complacence once again (oh the DoJ is dealing with them, everything must be okay)
and of course people who don't believe that our gov't is capable or willing or has such things in place is exceedingly ignorant or naive or both. It's all about power; bottom-line.
i think in the future you should be forced to type everything for us
it makes about as much sense
although i agree that cursive is another vestigial organ and is definitely never needed, not ever.. even people's signatures are usually scribbles or X's and not really cursive.

going to? it already shows them dumping stocks
they have the money in hand already
isn't gate's house totally automated?
i bet it would be fun to make his multimillion dollar whatever turn into poltergeist meets pee wee's playhouse
yes and they also had more than one brain

republics have inalienable rights, democracies change on the whim of public opinion
