Hm... I don't know. I bought my fiance a simple band with a.5 diamond in it and that was too much. It is kind of a litmus test for the relationship to come, i think, on how much rides on the size of the rock. Although, she did ask for a grocery store ring from those little bubbles, she is... special.
Love is not a diamond ring. But but both are rather attractive.
>or buy a mobo with more pci slots, you know what >I mean?
Yes, actually, i do. And you need to do more research. It exist. (BTW, i open my box (with one finger, i might add) and fiddle arround and add hardware all the time. Well, i also use linux, but i have been using mac for going on 12 years. I know a lot of mac users who rip as much ability out of our computers as anyone can. Also, your comments are saying that getting people into computers is not a good thing. The people who own iMacs have mainly been new users. The more that understand, the more that will be outraged when someone tries to say that it is not their property (especally if it costs $1200!!!))
Hm... are you familiar with Monty Python? well.. if you arn't, they are (were rather) a wonderful troop of british comedians. In the beginning of their show there is a part of the intro that has a foot, the one pictured above, smashing the item in the center of the screen.
this use of their foot is to indicate that is is supposed to be FUNNY, IDIOT!!! now. quit your whining about something that you should have expected when you cliked on the link.
um... well... from your post, i regret to say, you gave no indication that he was HAPPY. all of those things mean nothing. It can just leave you looking at the hole in your life that you made to get all those "things". This, i know, is offtoppic, but i think it needs to be said none the less. If that is "everything...[you] could want", i am very sorry.
um... i think i read your post... but macs run Office. A better version by all accounts too. Please, read up. And the whole "industry" thing is crap. The difference is minimal and is getting less and less in the *nix platforms, and Mac has joined that area. So, in hightech areas you will be having fun with *nix box more often than not.
BTW, the eMacs are rather nice for school work. Apple would probably jump at the chance to rip this user base into their fold.
EVIL books!!! they suck the life (read: sleep) out of you and make you believe in magic (of that woman's writing!!! MAN! she is good). Don't buy them if you value your (working) life. evil books!
(this june is the planed date for the next one, right?!)
Well, i just talked to the graphics pros i know, and the video pros, and the journalism odd balls and they all had the same feeling about this artical: So what?! Ok, anyone who is going to need that much with their high-end box are going to get a SCSI card and just bypass the whole ordeal. No person in their right mind would rely upon an IDE drive to do their work on. Just wont happen. Now, getting up into 80g is beginning to get normal for mac users, i have noticed, so they will be upgrading to the 100 form soon. this was for the consumer, this choice was. Much cheeper to buy ATA vs. SCSI drives for large capacity. (MAN! i do wish i could use that random firewire port on the motherboard...)
Weeelll... not evolution like what we were reading about in the article. What humans will experience is simply genetic drift. but it will be small, especially compared to the distant past, because of the mixing of the gene pool (not enough for my tastes, but that is not scientific, it is social). So, yah, evolution is a continuing force whilst we still selectively breed, but nothing huge for humans for millions of years yet. heh... by then, the sun will be no more! so SCREW IT!
The only time that i have had my computer crap out on me is when i had my desktop serving for 4 months straight. The powersupply fried when one of the fans gave out and i did not notice. So that was user err for not paying attention. Me ----dumb guy.... So anyway... my computer is used hardcore and for long periods of time and it is supposed to be a consumer model, a 400 mz G4. macs and the general mass of computers are rather different animals, as it its been said.
Well. I use it too, but i wouldn't say that it is all _that_ great. The biggest problem is that it doesn't recognize that you have checked anything on a web page. This means that any mail that you want to delete you must do it one message at a time. Sucks don't it? this is on about 4 systems that i have tested this out upon. Other than that it is right up there with Opera for speed and much more beautiful. 'S just nice. Mozilla is rather great for that. But I still hate its non X GUI.
Then shut up and don't see it and don't post. I loved HP because it felt like a book. I have never read them and it was nice to have that feeling with it. Movies have disappointed me too much in the past 2 years for me to want to watch one that is not based upon a good script. A world best selling book is a good start for a script.
Well... i ask you, does it sound different when you download it and when you play the CD? Unless the person you get it from is an idiot and ripped at 90, no. BUT, if you go to the movie theater there is a great difference than the crap you get off of any of the p2p networks. The only thing you could actually make work with this analogy is talking about a life performance. Now THAT can't be stolen, really. That is even more worthwhile than a freakn' movie.
Now, as for your comment below that: How much does it cost to make corporate pop music? About 200,000 if you actually include the blasted hype. These movies cost upwards of 500m. AND it is not crap. I would recommend that we actually go out and pay our 8 bucks to see this incredible dream of a movie. I have been waiting for a good 11 years for this to happen, I am not going to spoil the fun by watching a kiddy posted POS divx that he took with his little handheld (coughing, popcorn, bathroom breaks).
Convenience? no, my friend. It is all about control. If they lose control, they have lost everything at this point. They are in LOVE with the whole centralized power thing (look at what their lobbying is geared to in the US govt.). Yes, it is sick, bu they want to be tyrants over our music and these poor bards are either screwed or overly blessed by these jerks. I say screw them and find a way to get some anti-trust litigation used against them. But that will not happen any time soon, i suppose.
I thought that a bunch of geeks around the world wanted a free, powerful, unix variant that ran on x86 architecture... If that were the case there would be more of a shared market in the PC market. So, no not everyone wanted that. It was the actual power of the thing that was so great, that and the fact that it was compatible with known standards and could use classic tools and programs.
Well, apple seemed to have reason too. It did look the same and the target market was exactly the same. This is just stupid. Throwing their weight arround, bully crap. Now they are in an interesting spot...
This is especially true with the fact that it has been a development platform for GPLd Software for all of a year, really. It makes since that the first projects to be visible will have little feedback, the community doesn't know any better. Maybe this will highlight what is really not acceptable in GPL circles. This is a process that will take a while to make the difference. Hold on. Both on the development and the user side. Learn why things are done the way they are.
What OS X did was thrust the Mac community into opensource and not the other way around. They are a, for the most part, a bit clueless. Help them along, while arrogant, they are still ours.
Ok... I suppose if you are in, maybe, anywhere other than the poor south that would be OK as a requirement for an MP3/cd player. But as for us who live in the culturally and airwave deprived areas (such as AR (NO, that is not Arizona)), it is a waste of circuitry and money. It all depends upon your situation with this thing. All I CAN listen to and not go insane is my ever changing/growing MP3 collection. I think that this would kick butt, especially with families. Think about it, you have 80G to store all of the music liked by a whole family, including, i suppose, playlists. Rather cool idea.
Case in point: 2 years ago i had hardly heard of Bjork. Now i have all but 2 CDs. If it were not for napster/carracho/hotline/gnutella, i would be without this wonderful music! and I am not the exception.
Then we also have FUGAZI. But if you look at the people we are naming off, you will see that they are smart and ambitious. The simple, talented bands have no means of doing such as these people have.
OOOHH K. the whole little "but they can afford a computer!" thing has bugged me greatly. I, for one, and a college student. I am not a wealthy one. I have a car out of necessity, as there are no sidewalks here and the trucks will run you off the road if you try to bike. The payments are killing me. Now, I have a fridge because i have dietary allergies that prohibit me from eating in the Caf on campus. I must buy food. Now... I have a computer, why? Because I need it to do school work neatly and quickly. I kicked my butt to get all of these things so I would never have to work so hard and so long ever again. Music is difficult thing to come by during the school year. Think about this, there are we student who do at least 18 hr weeks. How much time do you think we actually have to study and to work to get all the things we "want." I kick my butt to get the things I need to do well, much less do what i want.
I wish that people as a whole would think about the possible other views before they begin to sound so condescending, which this argument usually does.
Wow... you are as closed minded as the people for sharing all the music and software.
Hm... how about we try to redefine "fair use" again for the digital areas? Just like "pirating" is not "Stealing" software (it is not physically taking something), fair use in reference to electronic software/music (the recording, not the genre) needs to be changed to mirror what is _really_ going on, not to demonize the people who do such a thing. (trivia: why is "hacker" preferred over "cracker" (the real term) in the media? Because Hack sounds horrible and depraved, just like they are wont to be seen.)
We saw that these companies really don't care about the Real legitimate fair use cases and the ones that stretch the law to its limit. They want control.
BTW, remember that one story about Disney and their little cartoon about the drug of music sharing? Yah. congratulations, these kinds of companies have won you over, dude.
