How is it "bload" when someone tells me how to get my iBook to work with my company's highly structured active directory? That problem stumped me for weeks...

Hey, any punk can have a web site (I've had several, including a fairly popular one) but seeing your name in blank ink on white paper in an actual book is an ego boost that has no equal.
Besides, I still find reading actual paper easier than reading web sites for long periods of time.
Except that your training yourself to reinvent the wheel every time, which means you won't know where to look for "conventional resources" when you need them.
I don't know if you're referring to the background pattern or the task integration, but in either case I'm guessing you didn't watch the ZDNET video of the Athens demo...
Even the background image on the Athens PC looks vaguely like the default OS X background image.
I'm also amused that no one seems to have noticed that while none of the individual ideas MS is pushing are wildly new, the level integration of basic work tasks will be very impressive if it works as hyped...
Yes, because monster did it in order to comply with the law. There are laws that forbid US firms from doing business with certain countries; such as Cuba, Libya and so on....
I've used EFI, it's used on IA64 and other systems today. EFI is a ROM-based mini-OS that can bootstrap other OSes off a network, a CD or, for example, a special boot partition on a HD.
This is a Good Thing. It let me edit the lilo.conf when I had an otherwise unworking IA64 Linux box...

Because you're just as smart as that other guy, right? And your code will always be better than his is.

Which is pretty much what happens everywhere...
WC3 is playable but awfully slow on my iBook - but I've got a 2001 model with the 8 meg Rage Mobility video chip.
The iron probe slowly sinking into the molten core of the moon....
Except, how big a bomb would we need to re-melt the moon's core? It's been frozen for a few billion years now...

Up with this I shall not put!
After all, there are plenty of free and nearly-free music players for Windows, how could they make money by charging for it?

Not much longer would I run WINE.
I Hurd it on the Grape Vine
I've rebooted for the last time!
Truer words have never been spoken.
:-P
Hey, moderators, mod the parent post up, I'm all outta points!
Then I take it you haven't noticed that Apple's machines are often cheaper than similar Dells.
replace folders - they are strictly an organizational metaphor, nothing to do with how files are actaully stashed away.
It's also already available on regular OS X, you just have to use the command line.
Nope, in honor of certain new Safari features, 10.4 will be called "Tabby".
LoL. Yeah. Apple sucks because they don't compete with Taiwanese no-name clones.
I just take the cover off the drive and set it up in my cube as a combination knick-knack and rear-view mirror. Few people realize it's a mirror. :-P
You betcha. I started with the Trash-80's rather than the Apples, but programming then was pure joy!
Kids today.
"Is it DOS compatible?!?"
Jeez, dude, couldn't you just say "Very few new motherboards have ISA slots"?
In what way does eliminating the old PC BIOS lock you into an operating system?
As if I wasn't running Linux on an EFI-based machine last month, and running Mac OSX on machine based on a cousin of EFI right now...
(Well, not right now, it's sitting next to me playing tunes while I type this on an XP box...)
Right. That explains why the burner in my P3/450 stopped working when I installed XP.
