I do miss the fast travel but not the multi hour lay overs.
Multi-hour drive to the airport and parking circus. Multi-hour check-in and security hassle. Multi-hour layovers. Multi-hour rental car circus or wait for pickup/cab.
For air travel to be relatively fast, your destination needs to be thousands of miles away.
Yes, an original Apple ][, bought in 1978, with integer BASIC ROMs. I used it for years.
...it was HARD to press down... a dip-switch (or was that a jumper) on the motherboard allowed you to set the computer to only accept Ctrl+Reset.
Wrong. On the original Apple ][, the reset key was as easy to press as any other keyboard key and there was no jumper or DIP switch to change behavior to Ctrl-Reset. The "stiff" reset key was introduced later. Some people used a wire/solder/cut trace modification to add a reset interlock.
Also, the Reset key didn't have particularly destructive functions on the Apple ][, it was more like an interrupt key that always worked and did not erase memory.
Wrong. It may not have scrubbed memory, but it did alter memory and lose state as it runs the monitor (asterisk prompt), effectively losing whatever you were doing at the time. The original Apple ][ *required* you to hit the reset button after power up. The ][+ and later models automatically reset the system on power up.
You managed to sound like a smug asshole while being wrong on everything you wrote. Impressive.

I worked concessions at a theater in Dallas in 1981. The professional projectionists went on strike, so they trained me and other popcorn servers the minimal amount to keep the movies going. I don't remember the details, but 6 months later we became the permanent projectionists and the pros were not seen again. That is the level of concern management gives proper projection.
We still had to swap lenses and aperture plates depending on the film format. It was a simple mechanical release for the lens. I don't know why DRM would require something different for that task. Either Sony screwed up in a fit of paranoia (never!), or the current group of minimum wage projectionists just don't have the necessary training.
/.ers can't find anything better to do than slam Apple's success.
You might forgive some for being skeptical of a headline reading "Corporate Mac sales surge 66%". A more informative headline would be "Corporate Mac sales rise from 2% to 3% of the market". The first implies a huge shift, the second a modest blip.
Besides, most of the posts I've read offer ecstatically glowing praise of Apple's imminent domination of the business market. Not that I agree with those posts, but it hardly constitutes a universal/. victimization of Apple.
150GB applies to DSL, 250GB to U-Verse, which is DSL bundled with AT&T video services. The extra 100GB is a method for AT&T to use their market position in network connections to leverage their way into the video market.
Terrance and Philip pronounce it Kroff Dinner. They should know, from the shape of their heads they are obviously Canadians from the great Northern empire of Canadia.
I don't see anything about EMC or safety testing from an accredited lab, so I doubt this can be sold as anything other than a "development kit". That's not what you would find on Amazon or at Best Buy. If this thing really interests you, then they hassle of getting one will be worth it. This is more interesting as a general FPGA tinker box than for the stated purpose.

There's one of those at the crosswalk near the local elementary school. She's very pretty, with her stop sign and orange vest, but she refuses to hold my hand when I cross:-(

Unless you are browsing in privacy mode. Apart from that, it is a matter of trust. On one hand you have a mature, widely used open source project maintained by many developers and access to the source code. On the other you have the secretive profit driven control freakery of Apple and the closed iDevices that inhabit its walled garden.

Have you ever actually used an Apple ][ ?

There is NO SUCH THING AS TEMPORARY.

A destructive button like that should be isolated from other controls.
Apple innovated a reset key adjacent to the Return/Enter key (Apple ][). Type, type, type, *BEEP* NOOOoooooooo!
Don't judge. How many towels do you know that can play Funky Town on a keypad.
I wonder if Duke will have aged like Schwarzenegger and appear as a grey shriveled shadow of his former self.

In light of this article, I guess the "splash" can refer to multiple things.

It's worth a shot, let me know how it works out.

"Tribble said that Apple doesn’t track user location and has no plans to ever do so in the future."
"Tribble acknowledged that the location data in question was not encrypted but that it will be in the next major iOS update."
So the Apple device tracks and stores your location, but Apple the company does not. That's comforting.
