Well I believe that it's more of a $15,000 to $9,000 compared to a $50,000 to $9,000 debate, Apple hardware is known for high qc than a good deal (not all) of PC hardware.
And what if you couldn't take the BMW on most of the roads in the world?
Explain that statement.
Internet. TCP/IP. Platform independent.
Software: Less scr's and viruses. Works for me.
The engineering that Apple seems to do seems to be in how to make their computers weird shapes, cool cases, quiet, colorful, small, have that nifty power button that the Cube had, or look like a desk lamp. Not in making them be good computers.
I'd love to have a flat screen I could just push out of my way when I want, but bring closer to my face when I'm using it. Somebody has to innovate in the industry...
"Hmm...if somebody's searching for domain registration, let's offer text ads about domain registration. Then, they won't be pissed about downloaing goofy banner/javascripts and they may actually click on the ad because it *is* useful."
Almost makes sense--but then you can't shoot the monkey.
Seriously though, I've clicked on Googe ads numeorous times beause they're relevant.

Interesting thoght. I have another (nope, not a troll!). Suppose warp drive is invented (at least almost light speed and a method of cryo sleep.) How the hell are we gonna exlore these thousands of star systems? We need trillions of people to send out into the heavens. I personally volunteer my genetics to as many as possible...ahem...ladies as possible. Seriously though, we need to get our asses in gear and populate the Sol system (a lá Total Recall). Then we'll have the resources and man power to properly support the M$ monopoly--err explore the galaxy.
You might be able to complain that AT&T did nothing to keep the DSL service going
That is exactly what they did(n't). They had the network and setup to keep their new customers happy, but decided "ah fsck it". That's what I say when their telemarketers call me on SprintPCS phone.
Typical AT+T Bullshit (damn, I might be modded down, but this is the truth).
Remember NorthPoint? I had a rock solid DSL connection, an employee discount with MSN as an ISP (back when i worked at the RatShack), and 1.3Mb/s down. AT+T came along and bought NorthPoint and left how many thousands hanging? Like I said, nothing new. AT+T has no respect for customers, and will shut off vital services at a whim, with little or now warning (I had 2 days).
Since I don't have time to read the article...let me pose this slightly off-topic question. Do you think Capt Archer will die on the bridge...or under it?;)
There's nothing worse than being stuck in a shop queue behind some idiot buying some item for a footling amount of money and paying for it with their credit/debit card.
Is it just me, or is using a credit card faster than waiting for idiots (cashiers and usually customers) counting chnage?
Two things come to mind. 1st, this will dramatically save lives...think convenience stores. Second...in a cashless society, at what age do children receive a credit card. Think about, would it be fair to not give someone buying power until they're an adult (or whatever the minimum age on credit cards are now?)?
So am I the only owner of a G4 that came bundled with MacOS 9.0.3 and DVD player who has no f-ing idea what this settlement is all about? All the website says is that I'm eligible. Maybe I don't want to be eligible. Maybe I haven't had a damn problem. Could someone elaborate and could/. post more info on things of this nature?
Wait a second here...Google search....Ah! Here we go...
STERNBERG V. APPLE COMPUTER, INC. AND GORDON ET AL. V. APPLE COMPUTER, INC.
Plaintiff Sternberg filed this action against the Company on March 17, 2000 in
the Santa Clara County Superior Court. The case is a purported nationwide
consumer class action brought on behalf of certain purchasers of iMac DV and
iMac DV SE computers. Plaintiff alleges that Apple engaged in false advertising,
unfair competition and breach of warranty, among other causes of action, by
marketing and selling a DVD player with iMac DV and iMac DV SE computers where
the playback was unacceptable. A companion case, GORDON ET AL. V. APPLE
COMPUTER, INC. was filed by largely the same plaintiffs on June 14, 2000. This
case is essentially the same as Sternberg but with respect to a different
computer model--the Power Macintosh G4. The Company has answered both
complaints, denying all allegations and alleging numerous affirmative defenses.
The Company has responded to written discovery and has produced documents. The
parties have agreed to mediate the cases. The mediation is expected to occur at
the end of January 2001.
But there is more : the texture of the paper is gratifying to touch, the turning of a paper page is part of the pleasure of reading, the letters never have staircase effect, even if the printing is crappy, the white of the paper reflects different color shades with the lighting, one can see the sun dance on the pages at dawn or dusk while reading on the train, etc etc... Even the back, with its different material (cardboard), its artwork and sometimes embossed or golden letters is part of the reading experience.
Bullshit! The things i hated most about reading (and the reason I don't read paperbacks anymore) are the very things your sick, tiwsted mind treasures. The feel of the paper? Damn, I hate the texture of most paper backs. It's like...I don't know, but certainly not something I like! Turning the pages? Oh how I disdained turning the pages whist reading the crap they would make us read in high school or even something entertaining like Hunt For Read October. My favorite place to read is in bed. My postures varied, but usually meant my leaning one arm half the time. But to change the page, you need two hands (especially with newer, thicker books) or some extravagant hand motions to turn it. Wouldn't a nice arrow in the lower left and right hand corners of each page make life just a little easier? I treasure the day we all burn our books (much like we trashed our typewriters).

Har, Har, Apr1l F0015! Sorry, but come on!
I'm an apple fan and all. But this is just plain ugly.
There is something to be said for a case that isn't totally transparent.
Kinda brings to mind the old saying about people who live in clear plastic houses...oh wait.
Except in this case the $9,000 Geo Metro probably will work just as well or better.

You're a biggot arguing over nothingness.

Well you see, Google has half a brain.

The extra memory support and the floating-point capabilities increase the performance of Web hosting
My what a big web server you have!
The greater to request default.ida with, my dear.
Oh, imagine a beowoulf cluster of these! Lot's of error logs!
They claim this will eliminate the need for broadband.
They won't eliminate my need for ISO's. I like my 1.5 mb/s down, thank you very much.
