they've added all those awesome features like the Automatic Star Button
Next time you receive your weekly store flyers, pay attention to the pricing backdrop styles. They're all star bursts.
I made a small fortune coding and selling an XPress extension called Punch XT that made stylized in-line text outlines and in-text image texturing, automatic price formatting and shadowing.
The No. 1 feature requested feature was star burst effects.
Because at this point, ANY Mac hardware running capable of running Mac OS X would do to run XPress in a protected-memory environment, and real paged memory management.
XPress demmands huge resources for your average magazine layout.
This plasma valve blocks air particles from moving across (and, in this case, into a vacum chamber).
It wouldn't stop a bullet or other moving objects or energy beams, so it's not your next spaceship shielf (let alone, it blocks air particles).
Heck, at 15,000 celcius, I wouldn't use it as a patio door screen mesh replacement either (mind you, it would make a good mosquito zapper, but your dog would fry through it as well).
I wonder, really, what this could be used for, other than very specific lab stuff.

They do realize the bird's final destination, right?
At the office, we have OS X 10.1.4 running on a 7300/200, albeit, quite slow. We use that setup as benchmark for sluggish machines out there. If something is unbearable on that machine, chances are it's unbearable on some other machines out there.
I wish I could get OS X working on my 8600/AV/200 at home though. It just refuses to work.
If I was gonna pick though, I'd want something Romulan. Romulan chicks are hot!
I'd pick any starfleet ship counselor anytime. According to Ricker (both of them), they're easy to come by. Just raise an eyebrow and it's corresponding shoulder and do the jazzy walk...
While ANCIENT paper laster long, current paper contains too much acid to be time-resistant like old paper (or better yet, vellum) are.
If you're rich enough to buy acid-free and chemical-free paper in large volume, then you have a chance. But then, the ink is also an issue.
Current ink-jet printer ink is way too fragile in daylight to be considered any useful for long time preservation.
Toner is better, but I've seen old toner-printed paper peeling some of their fused-in lines and characters. This might be because of the paper itself (acid again); I don't have evidence this is a generalized issue with toner-fused images, though, and until I saw that particular piece of paper, I hadn't imagined toner-printed work was subject to that.
Old paperwork, or vellum work, use animal ink, just as octopus ink, or special blends of coal and oils, or oils with coloring agents (usually mineral or vegetal based), such as those used in illuminated work done mostly by the church in the middle age.
So, I'm sorry to break your fun and totally ignore the amusement factor of your suggestion, but I think paper, as of today, isn't necessarily an option.
Those adds selling out N albums or DVDs for ridiculously low prices (I've seen those 4 DVDs for about 10? adds) are not necessarily illegal.
Sometimes, distribution or production companies does material dumping like that to boot unit sales figures for marketing reasons. They then can show those "Over 2 million copies sold" stickers on those boxes, at full prices, to sell another million or two.
the price is obscene. The 99-cents per song comes about to about the same price as a CD (if you buy all the songs).
With the gaz guzzler truck that I have, just the money saved on the trip down to the music store buys a whole album. Let alone the time I save.
The interesting is, albums top at 10$, regardless of the number of songs, so that's an economy as well.
Another plus is the ability to buy single songs. That, for me, is a big plus, as I usually end up not liking a song or two on most albums.
One caveat of this, though, is album art. Eg, you couldn't compare a download album with, say, Smashing punpkin's Melancoly and the Infinite Sadness album cover and intert art.
Also, some albums are listed as "Explicit" or "Clean." Notice I said "albums": if one song in an album has a label they all seem to, though I didn't do an exhaustive search. Since this is structured as song-centric, I feel they should have labeled on a song-by-song basis.
I've actually seen per-song explicit warnings.
For an example, use the browse method and dig your way through System Of A Down albums and you'll see a small [EXPLICIT] tag on the sone line, on the right of the song title column.
For those, like me, who have a A500 Samsung phone, you'll be interested in this site.
It'll give you interesting tidbits of information about the phone, and how to get around limitations set forth by phone carriers in terms of available data (images, sounds and software) that you can download to the phone.
In the US, laws, amendments and provisions to various justice levels permits the military to use anything they want, regardless of patents or licensing, provided it has something to do with national security.
This means that if the military juges your software (or hardware or whatever), they can appropriate, use or copy the work on their own if security calls for it.
IANAL, so I dont have references to these, but it's been mentioned before, and there has been occasions where this has already been done, such as in imaging and communication fields.
In theory, though, they can't use this provision to resell the idea outside of their own use.
Too late for that. Linux uses X-Window, which is far from achieving the start-from-scratch goals.
BEOS had something with their database file system and object-based UI (at system level). But they chickened out and settled for a JFS. (I'll omit the rest of their story.)
Another novel idea to the whole UI thing was NeXTSTEP (there after, OpenStep, thereafter, Mac OS X). I'm not talking about Carbon API here but rather Cocoa.
If you want to start from scratch, THAT is it. And if you'd rather it be on top of Linux, GNUStep is IT (aka, Cocoa for Linux, if you will).
Rendez-Vous is based on Zero-Config, an open-sourced standard.
Apple merely enhenced it a bit and wrote some high-level APIs for even speedier development. But it's just Zero-Config. Rendez-Vous sources are available as all Darwin source code at Darwin.org.

Are there any side effects?
Annoying all-caps titles.

Let me give the clueless a hint: the other end of the sucking machine.
Then, it all goes to to packaging and distribution.
Hmmm!
Finger-licking good.

The issue in this is the ink.

At this point, Apple wouldn't have to care because the sale was made IN the states.
This is no big deal, and some guy on MacBidouille(.com) did exactly that to have a chance to try out the service for a review.

It's common practice in mass retail marketing.
It's not about billing adress. It's about legislations governing copyrights and distribution agreements with the respective music companies.
Apple has to work out specific legal issues before it can distribute the music to other countries.

How smart a bomb should be? To me, a real smart bomb is what was previously called a dud. But that's clearly not what their inventors are aiming for.
why do astronomers always compare the size of meteors to Volkswagen bugs
Only minor bugs are caused by this class of metheorites.
On the other hand, had it been classified as Pinto, there you're in for some serious crash.

After having initially said it was more like a pancake, their only comment about the donut was
Doh!
That would have been funnier if you had included a link to it.

If that was meant to be french, it should have been "Libre" (for "Free"), or "Libéré" (for "freed"). And I'm ignoring "software".
