No, it's not faster for non-SMP tasks. I don't need SMP (yet) to run Word. HOWEVER, Phtoshop takes advantage of both SMP and Altivec. I've used Photoshop on a dual-G4 machine. It's amazing.
There's an abandoned ABM site near Nekoma, North Dakota. Place looks right out of the X-Files. I haven't driven by it in a looong time, but supposedly the lights are still on... I'd rather not poke around on what, at its time, was über classified stuff.
The closest I can come to, personally, is owning a closed Wells Fargo branch. Yup. Okay... it's the foundation of an old Wells Fargo stagecoach stop, but I did nearly fall in the well and kill myself.
Better---send it to root at another, known spammer's site. Like people that make bulkmailers. It's kinda' like the strategy for knocking out Iraqi air defenses---don't hit the individual launch sites. Hit the controlling radar.
RMS speech streamed using Real which, at least on the Mac, seems to be one of the finickiest, crash-prone pieces of marketoid bloatware in existance. Be very wary when installing or your email address will get opted-in so to speak.
I've always wondered that too... the initial cost of the reader is (still) prohibitively expensive for most people. It'd make more sense to lower the cost of the books to say, US$.01 per 1000 words. Increase the volume on the book sales with lower cost so joe reader sees an ebook reader as a good investment.
As previous poster noted, QuickTime's file format is open. The problem is codecs, some of which are bound by licensing agreements. Yea it sucks. I know. But it's not always Apple's fault.
You could use the same argument for games on Linux---x86 PC doesn't mean a damned thing games wise unless it's x86 running a Win-32 derivative. Linux people know the workarounds. Casual user does not.

I just helped a friend archive a digital video project (for a class) over to CDs. Guess how many? Eight 650 MB CDRs. (And of course we burned duplicates "just in case".) He fed ex'd it off to a service bureau to have the data files burned to a data DVD and the final, composited video burned to a video DVD.
guess how much easier that project would have been with the new G4s? Three magic words: Done in house.
Hearing Steve curse like sailor deomstrated something to me: Steve is not afraird to show his human nature. After a quarter like the one Apple is just wrapping up, you'd think corporate PR spin control would be set on super-high, right? Well... it's not. Instead we get the CEO saying "we fucked up" and not hiding his disgust as the company's performance over the last quarter. What's important here? No denial.
And what's even stranger is that some systems have both a standard RJ-45 port and the AAUI port.
The logic behind it is that you were supposed to be able to buy different AAUI transceivers for different network topologies. Need BNC? BNC transceiver. TokenRing? TokenRing transceiver. Universal NIC, adapeter for the different connectors.
Price difference, not physical difference. The media is the same, but the "Audio CDRs" are invariably priced several dollars higher than a similar (same manufacturer, same quanity) of "Data CDRs"
IIRC, Rumsfield oversaw the 1976 motballing of the Nekoma, ND Safeguard site. Basically Nekoma was a very limited ABM system, designed to "Safeguard" the ICBM silos dotted around northeast North Dakota, as well as early warning radar (Cavalier Air Station) and Grand Forks AFB.

I think what Katz meant is that the number of nukes in the former USSR, coupled with the destablization of the region, increases the risk of an accidental (or terrorist) realease of nuclear weapons against the US. Back in the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kruschev had the hot-button---now LOTS of people have the button, people who shouldn't have the button. Ever tour a nuclear missile silo? I did at Ellesworth AFB in Rapid City, SD. There's a reason there are two keys, separated by about 15', which must be turned in sync. Keeps the power to launch in president's hands, not some joe-lunatic-missile-commander. Watch the first scene in 'War Games'. The destablization--nay, practical nonexistence--of central command in the former USSR does make such a situation *very* likely.
And post hoc ergo propter hoc. The reason the reds were so pissed at us was because of the Crisis. As a few posters have already pointed out, we were doing the same thing to the USSR as we had missiles in Turkey, just as backdoor to the USSR as Cuba is to Florida.

When will corporations realize that trademark status doesn't give them the right to bash others over the head unfairly? This case is as silly as, say, Apple Records going after Apple Computer in court over trademark dilution. (Apple Records was unhappy about onboard sound I/O in Apple Macintoshes, hence the "confusion". Sure... and now let's see if Apple Computer and Apple Records go after the group the Apples In Stereo)
What amuses me is that we really don't have a power production problem in most areas of the country---rather we have a transport problem.
I'm from North Dakota a state with a population of 642,000 (we're like a nice, small city but with a really low population density) and a power production capacity well beyond its needs. The power companies within North Dakota already sell the bulk of their production to buyers outside of the state. Right now, we're selling all we can but there's still untapped generating capacity. Why? The infastructure isn't capable of exporting that much wattage. It's kinda' like hooking a garden hose to a fire hydrant---you'll get water out of it, but not nearly as much compared to using a fire hose.
( note to adobe: please please write linux versions of your products so i can leave windows behind forever. )
Well Apple does have some fairly nice hardware and there does happen to be a rather sizable Adobe userbase on the Mac...
(And I'm not being a Mac-bigot. I've worked color prepress long enough to know that Photoshop, Illustrator, and Quark simply are more finicky under Win-32 than under the MacOS. Adobe products run really well under the MacOS.)
