People seem to be taking these links as gospel truth. Do we have any proof that these documents have not been doctored before they were put on the web?
These quotes are amusing and energizing to be sure, but are they accurate?
What is interesting about this is that it is a false dillema: we actually can do this and there is evidence that it can be done on a large scale.
Nonsense. Show me the years in which per-capita energy consumption has fallen in the developed world. Show me that the average new home is getting smaller, not larger. Show me that the per-capita amount of garbage has gone down. Show me that per-capita water usage has gone down.
All we've done so far is lower the rate of accleration.
Sure, people *can* change. That's not the point. The point is that evolution has created people who do *not* want to change and who have difficulty resisting temptation even when they intellectually know it's in their best interests.
If it was as easy as you say there would be no obesity (who chooses to be fat?) nor smokers.
I can see where this would work for miniport drivers (drivers that use a restricted API, like network drivers and SCSI drivers) but for full drivers? I can't believe it.
1. First, Entourage is not the "OS X version of Outlook". Among other things, it doesn't fully integerate with the Exchange server, which mean calendaring doesn't work right - just like the man said.
2. The Finder doesn't always work with AD networks. Personally, I'm tired of having to type my network domain over and over again, because keychain doesn't seem to store it correctly. (And, yes, I've read Apple's KB articles on the problem and their suggested solution doesn't work.)
Weren't those the names for the common PPC spec? And Motorola was a partner, too. I forget what they stand for, though. "Common Hardware Reference Platform" and "PPC Reference Platform"?

The documents are theirs, but they've been altered to increase the number of inflammatory statements, or to remove context.
I'm sorry, but I've purchased to much herbal viagra to believe everything I read on the Internet...

So, what's your beef?
waste are political and emotional rather than technical, I don't see how they will ever be solved.
The idea for mini-reactors has been around since at least the 70's. I seem to remember Omni talking about it, back in the day.
If I remember, the concept was that when fuel ran out, the entire reactor (the size of a house furnace) would be swapped out for a new one.
Sealed unit, no leaks, Cannot Fail, yadda yadda yadda...

is to access the iTunes store. Otherwise, it's not really different from winamp.
As for their catalog, it's kind of hard to judge since they claim they have the artists but won't let me see which albums and tracks they have.
Doesn't Microsoft control who's allowed to use WMA encoding?
If they're spending all their time patching, they don't have any time to fix the underlying problem.
Frequent patching is cause for three concerns:
1. The patches haven't had time to be adequately tested.
2. A cascade of patches indicates serious underlying problems.
3. A cascade of patches distracts the MS developers from what should be their primary job: making patches unneccessary in the first place.

Because the expansion of *space itself* is not limited by the speed of light, which travels *through* space.
I know - it's weird, and I'm not sure I buy that explanation either.
Bill Clinton didn't write the article.
You'd think New Scientist would know better....
As did their Clariion RAID arrays.
There ain't a whole lot left when I'm done.
Does the phrase "clone army" ring a bell?
Also, the books talk about Storm Troopers being grown instead of recruited.
on the TIE fighters were solar panels - that's why the TIEs were "short range fighters".
I still regret selling mine. I regret even more that I can't find the copy of PPC that published my game!
I've never gotten an accurate battery timer. On my 2001 iBook, or my 15" AlBook, the timer always seems to show half of what I'm actually getting.
I've never figured out why.
I'm pretty sure 10.1.2 got pulled and turned into 10.1.2.1 right damn quick.
