I don't know where you live, but all I see around here (atlanta) probably 70% of the cars are >$40k. I see plenty of ferraris, porsches, mercedes, bmw.... you name it all over.
rrright... people would buy this car for the range.... bwahahahaha
please, if you are buying this car, you are buying it to toast your friends in their porsches. Well probably to trounce on the teeny boppers in their modded civics as well just for kicks.
ya I don't get the whole waiting period either on the domains when they expire. I think it should expire throughout the system within at least 48 hours... if you were slacking too bad so sad! (as I currently wait to grab a domain that expired 1 month ago...)
maybe so? I thought I had read OEM wasn't an option with it however. Probably wrong however...
so that's what $90? so $1,389 vs $1,388...
I'd still stick with the PC for the freedom. Also that's a 20" vs 17" lcd and 1GB ram vs 512MB ram...
I would agree with another poster that the Dual-Core athlon is far superior, but I was just pulling up a quick average consumer buy.
You don't need an EFI based system to dual-boot. Did I say anything about EFI? No. Besides EFI isn't Apple tech, it's *gasp* Intel technology (PC).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_boot
considering the cost of a new mac $ + windows xp license $ + mac software $ + windows software $ + the hassle of dual-booting + learning a new system... who wants to deal with all that? The average user? uhh no!
Besides what is oh so great about boot camp anyways? so what, it is a fancy interface to a boot-loader, and they supply drivers for windows... yay hooray? I've been dual-booting on my PC hmmm... FOREVER. OSX moves to intel hardware and suddenly now wants to make dual-booting possible? DUH! Why wouldn't that have happened? Even if apple didn't do it, i'm sure a 3rd party vendor would have come along and made it really simple.
iMac (lowest model) = $1,299.00 + Windows XP Home (not OEM or upgrade, if you want to do it legally... retail license) $199 = $1,498.00
17-inch widescreen LCD with 1440x900 resolution
1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 2MB shared L2 cache
512MB (single SO-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
160GB Serial ATA hard drive
Slot-load 8x double-layer SuperDrive
ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB GDDR3 memory
Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0
Dell XPS 400 - $1259 + MacOSX $129 = $1,388
20 inch UltraSharp(TM) 2007FPW Widescreen Digital Flat Panel
2.80GHz Pentium® D Processor 820 with Dual Core Technology
1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz- 2DIMMs
160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache(TM)
Dual Drives: 16x DVD-ROM Drive + 16x DVD+/-RW w/dbl layer write capability
256MB nVidia Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
So $1,498 for the Mac with windows or $1,388 for the Dell with OSX and superior hardware...
(besides... I still have yet for anyone to show me what I can do on a Mac that I cannot do on my PC. I run winxp pro and different flavors of linux in VMware & dual-boot.)
so please... remind me what the author doesn't get?
or how about the rogue mysterious box they had sitting plugged into our network that we were told not to configure and it was mysteriously turned on, on day 2... (southeast comp... dunno if they did this at the midwest)
I wish we had that, we were told we were going to but we ended up not having it.
Not having the debian discs killed us.:-\

at our competition (southeast) they even said we were setup to fail and the deck was stacked so high against us it was ridiculous.
We didn't have most of the CDs to reinstall/install OS's or Applications. We also didn't have access to the internet except for a few proxied sites and it wasn't working so hot.
When we came in the next morning there was actually a machine turned on. The day before we were told this machine "you are not allowed to configure it is part of the competition" so we figured it must be some part of the scoring system or something.... turns out it was a suse box they were using as a nice backdoor... I ripped it out @ 11am after the mail server went down. It also had "kitty porn" and fake ssn's of employees running on a web server. But yes it was turned on 1 hour after we left the building the night before.
it was pretty rough. We had 4 hours in the southeast competition. BUT we did not have the debian CDs, the linux boxes were full of backdoors and lots of misconfigurations on purpose. We thought we would have a fully functioning network going in, and for us it seemed to be more of a disaster recovery competition. The hard drive on our static web server (linux) died after the 1st hour, we finally got a replacement the next morning for the 2nd day but it was too late. We had 2 windows servers running on MS virtual server 2005 & 1 Debian mail server VM... for whatever insane reason on the 2nd day our mail server wouldn't recognize the virtual network card and we were SOL.
maybe you should read... because the Blue teams (schools) were not allowed to send out a single malicious packet from their network. Doing so would get you disqualified from the network.
Social Engineering was part of the competition. I took part in the Southeast competition, although social engineering wasn't defined as being part of it, we thought it would happen and it did.
Turns out the RED team (ISS Xforce & PWC @ our competition), got bored after they destroyed everyone's setup... so they went out and walked into rooms and some folks they were able to sit down and plug in the network.

actually I remember playing Revolution X at the arcade long ago and it was a really good game for its time.
or just run trials (or OSS) of them... of which most software it is available. Including basically all MS software.
dban has settings for DoD and more that will surpass DoD standards as well.
try Darik's Boot and Nuke... http://dban.sourceforge.net/
I wipe with charmin ultra, it does a great job.
here is a laptop you may promptly sell to pay for your bandwidth bill
how do you think the electricity to recharge the batteries in this car was produced?. gif
coal is still the leading method...

lol, just wrong
that's a $4,500 laptop not $500

in the beginning it wasn't very cheap to buy lots of domains... guess you never looked into buying them ages ago?
I fail to see the humor as well... made no sense. May want to work on that.

we have been running Virtual Server 2005 for a while now and it runs great. I was actually surprised.
