Actually, I think it will drive up the costs of aviation.
Ughh... well, I just had a nice long reply to this, but then good old IE crashed. Here was the main point:
According to people I've talked to, basically every time you pull the handle, the insurance company buys you a new plane. That's not going to be cheap.
That's completely wrong. And just plain silly. Who are these people you're talking to? Obviously, they're not pilots.
You'll get out of breath easily, but as long as you stay calm you won't have to worry
And, as we all know, there's nothing more calming than being in a room that's on fire and having some funky gas poured into the room that makes it harder to breath
This is not Microsoft at all. Its just another company (Alienware this time) building micro-atx computers. These are cool but unless you cant do it yourself there is no reason to buy an Alienware
Incorrect. It is Alienware using an OEM only OS (XP Media Center), that Microsoft is heavily pushing, to build a "media center" box.

Not really the greatest resource, but it contains some decent info
CNN doesn't have an AOL/Time Warner censor telling them what they can say. You're way off base with the insinuation. I don't know how this crap gets modded up.
You really think that?
Who do you think writes/aproves the news topics/shows they have on CNN? Do you really think that CNN would put on a show/segment about how corrupt/crappy Time Warner cable is?
Sure, sure... sure they would.
CNN is a crap news network now, which is unfortunate, because it used to be decent.
Take Headline News for example. From time to time a band just seems to "happen" by their studio. First off, wtf is a band doing on the CNN Headline News studio? And secondly, isn't it amazing that this band that just happened to be in the area, is signed by a AOL/Time Warner label? And I'm sure the producers of head line news are just tickled pink to waste air time on a lame ass band that AOL/Time Warner is trying to hype. But you're right... no one controls CNN but CNN. Give me a break.
But you seem to think that CNN is a totally unchecked and unedited/uncensored part of AOL/Time Warner. Keep dreaming, because there is nothing further from the truth.
my commodore 64 is so silent is actually creates a quiet hole
this is similar to a black hole, except for that it absorbs all sound, instead of light, and no sound can escape from it. It's very scary really and it's truly something that must be heard to be seen... or something... uhmm... yes
are lawyers. Why does the US have half the worlds lawyers? It really makes no sense.
Anyways. The clear answers to this blind persons problem is that instead of suing a company for not supporting their method of access, use your power as a member of a capitalistic society, and send a message with your money.
Find another company that supports you better, and spend your money with them.
Why does common logic like this escape so many people?
First off, you have the very small market share that Mac users represent. About 1-3% (right?)
Then you have to factor in what percentage of the Mac users live in or near major metropolitan areas. I would argue that number is probably near 90% of the total Mac users (a number I am pulling out of my ass, but I just don't think there are a ton of Mac users in the rural US, which is where the Sat. companies are focusing).
So, you have a possible market that makes up maybe.1 -.3% of the total computer users in the US. Hell, even if my numbers are a little bit off, the total market share for Mac users in rural areas can't be more than 1% of all internet users.
So, if the software costs $100k to write, and then another $5k - $10k / year (/month?) to support, plus retraining all (or many) of your support/install personel to use the Macs, is it really worth it?
I personally don't think I would do it if I ran the company.
But whatever... hmmm... the linux router seems to having problems... wonder if throwing it out the window will solve it

yes, it does, it's actually quite easy to do

IMHO a 1Ghz G4 is about the same as a 4Ghz P4 in speed.
lol
come on now, that's just silly and you know it. the length of pipeline does not a processor make (or some stupid thing like that)
IMHO I am the sexiest man alive. But, in reality, it seems that most (all?) women don't agree.
But then I read the TOS:
Sprint PCS Vision enabled devices can not be used as substitutes for private lines or frame relay connections.
Damn... better call the phone company and tell them not to turn off my T3.
pico owns!
=p

this issue needs a lot of attention and it has gotten very little from the mainstream press
Strange isn't it? Since AOL/Time Warner (a major cable internet provider) controls a ton of the mainstream press.

Woolly mammoths are cool!
Yes, woolly mamoths are the shiznutz, but, as we all know, it would require more than a little bit of cold weather for them to re-evolve.
Maybe we could just take some elephants, throw them up in northern canada, and cover them in shag carpeting
people really need to learn to pick up on sarcasm...
would think any move that would cut the costs of hosting and attending a trade convention would be appreciated.
Apple doesn't host MACWorld.
Typically, having a large, public gathering that is well covered by major media outlets is something you want when you're a struggling company.
must refrain from reminding you that openoffice can read/write Word documents so no one needs to deal with another format
"The introduction of this chip should put to rest any speculation that Apple is moving to an Intel platform."
Especially since Apple has never changed their mind before, about anything major.
I've been using Microsoft Flight Sim since it first came out!
That makes me a pilot!
Actually, this has nothing to do with 3d. The only innovation here is that it is a penetrable 2d display.
it would seem that this technology could easliy be used to create a 3d display as well
simply have 3 or 4 projections
That is one of the cooler things I've ever seen.
Think of the applications of this:
Finally, something that closely resembles 3d holograms
"Help me obi-wan, you're my only hope" and all that type of stuff
Also, it could be used really well in a haunted house

it made me want to stab myself in the eyes and light my hair on fire
i feel so much dumber for having seen something on it
It is market share plain and simple.
.1 - .3% of the total computer users in the US.

but plenty of digital cameras and printers already support communicating via the USB port, without a computer (HP DJ7150,7350,7550,P130, etc).
whatever though... i'm sure this standard is better for that sort of thing...
That said, if I want a top-notch prebuilt gaming system, I'll save a grand or two and buy alienware
Or build it yourself and save even more =)
