Panthers are black (melanistic) leopards. the gene for melanism is recessive, so black leopards can have offspring with lighter coats. Jaguars are heavier than panthers. The panther has a narrower and smaller head. Genetically, leopards and jaguars are more closely related than lions or tigers. Snow leopards and Clouded leopards are even more distantly related, at one clade each.
Eliminate all lawyers? Sure, just eliminate all the laws beforehand. And since all human remotely civilized societies ever have had laws (and their interpreters), you should eliminate all humans first.

if you know anything about planes, you'll know that the most important thing is who gets the wing and the engines. the rest of the plane is pretty much coachbuilding.
i'd say they are fully aware of the confusion they're creating. their market is mostly people who are prepared to use an OS other than windows, which means that their principal competitor is Apple. Since the low-end iBook outclasses their machine they are obfuscating the iBook's specs by confusing it with the new PowerBook.
and they would have gotten away with it too, if you meddling kids hadn't gotten involved.
the difference between seven people dying on earth and seven people dying on the shuttle is, obviously, the shuttle.
all of the grief and sadness being expressed is essentially for the symbollic, totemic, talismanic properties of the shuttle. it's just more seemly to mourn the people.

without wanting to sound pedantile, i think you mean centripetal force.
this kit would work best with apple keyboards - they are translucent plastic and would let you discern the key legend in the dark. on a regular keyboard it just lights the gutters between the keys.
most "environmentalists" stick only to a narrow selection of appealing topics. something difficult, like elephant culling (elephants destroy forests), they don't want to know.
for example, most tree-huggers are pro-whale and pro-forest. but forests only provide about 10% of the oxygen in the air; most of it is produced by algae in the sea, which, incidentally, is eaten by whales. so if the tree-huggers were really environmentally sound they would be campaigning to have the forests cut down to make harpoons and whaling ships.
BLOFELD: Ha ha, Mr Bond. You see, with this massively parallel supercomputer I can control every satellite in the world and destroy your precious civilization!
BOND: Does it have any games?
BLOFELD: What?
BOND: You know. Counter Strike. Warcraft. Quake.
BLOFELD: It's got Quake.
BOND: Huh. I'll stick with the PC.
BLOFELD: It doesn't need games. I've got a fucking XBox for games.
It's a form of self-limitation in which the government prevents itself from passing future bad laws. What would you do if there were suddenly a ban on cheese?

Take a look at the early Industrial Revolution Cities in England. So overcrowded a plan was needed. The solution : criminalisation of poverty. That way the poor could be killed or transported.
It was the industrial revolution, remember. People were brought into cities by enclosure of agricultural land and demand for labor from industry. Poverty did not increase, it was simply concentrated in the cities. There was no criminalization of poverty other than the workhouse. Transportation of convicts was largely to satisfy the demands of empire-building than to clean up England. There was no plan to deal with poverty; it wasn't really considered a problem. There were no people executed during the industrial revolution in England for the sole reason of poverty.
ah, MOPS was beautiful. a few bugs here and there, but any language that is free and comes with all of its source - so that you spend hours trying to work out just how it does something - is a joy.

Luxury. Back in my day we published magazines on a 8MHz Mac 512k and if we didn't like it we could lump it. But if you told young people today that that computer would become a multiprocessor RISC-based unix workstations made of translucent plastic they wouldn't have believed you.

the banana was also a real ][ clone. I remember seeing one in Morgan computer on new oxford street some time in the mid eighties.
dinosaurs weren't cold blooded. they were probably mostly warm-blooded, like birds.

it's still worth it.

to be honest by the end of the movie you wish they were all dead.
kinda makes me curious why you're here posting about the new macs then.

LOOK! they've forgotten to put the stars in that footage as well!
So why not buy a cheaper PC (yes, even with Windows thrown in) and install OsX over the top?
and then fly around on your anti-grav jetbike.
