IOW if intelligence (and thus likely the President) knew about the coming attack (and there is indication they did), they might have thought there was not much of an actual danger, just a good pretense to go to war. Ooops.
Well, yeah, if you compare your made-up-to-be-a-LOT-higher maximum real-world power consumption of a 2.0 GHz PPC 970 with the Thermal Design Power given by Intel for a 3.2 GHz P4 (which has little to do with actual maximum real-world power consumption and is typically 33% lower than that), the former will kinda come close to the latter - and that's for the 130nm process. IBM's 90nm 970 uses less power, while Intels 90nm P4 uses more.
First of all: you can't really steer a balloon, you can only make it go up or down and hope the wind takes you were you want to go. And you can only go up when taking off or when you have a hot air balloon - which isn't fuelless. That is why we have balloons and the steerable airships.
Selecting extra RAM for a single processor G4 XServe adds 5% to 35% to the cost, a different HD config from 7% to 57%. So at least he added 12% to the price with his configuration, and up to 92%.
OTOH adding power windows on a Honda doesn't seem to be possible, the model either comes with it, or you need a different base config. Thanks for playing.
Sure. Let's first ignore that he ordered a different HD too. That leaves us with the fact, that even the two minutes cost extra - and that this is not the only added cost.
It is not the cost of adding extras that cost Apple much money in such a case. You have extra cost for making sure the customer gets the computer configuered for him, not one from the thousands from storage. And that is just if he keeps it.
When he returns it, Apple is stuck with one non-standard computer (shut up trolls). First of all, unless the box has not been opened nor damaged, they can not sell it as new anymore. They can either try to sell it as is (somebody will have to want exactly that configuration), or change it back to a standard configuration and sell the refurbed standard config and the refurbed extras (don't forget to erase the HD) separatley. All this adds significantly to cost.
But Apple does take back computers if you decide you don't want them - when they are in standard configuration. Can someone in France order a pink Ferrari and then decide he didn't actually want a pink Ferrari?

Well, if the date is right, can you point me to any info on this "biggest non-nuclear" June 1982 explosion?
So why would they need to steal Canadian software to run on those heavy industry, non-hightech Gas pipelines?
But most Afro-Americans have a notably lighter skin than most Afro-Africans.
Barney Collier usually pretended to be a student from Africa.

What if they once were smoother, and got roughed up in a long lifetime of tiny impacts with other spheroids/rocks?

Informative my ass.
So you returned you ipod because it would have a lower battery time than that given by Apple if you used it in a way you wouldn't use it in?
Yeah, their crew should wear something like ST-TOS uniforms.

Yeah, MacGyver did that all the time.
You are right, I shouldn't have replied to that troll.
Yeah, I am what you call a Mac Zealot. But you are just a dumb Troll. Yeah, you know it.
Unbreakable lock, meet sledghammer.
Define portable. The last one on that page looks less wide than a CD-player (only about 10 cm / 4" wide) - though you probably can't jog with it.
Oooh, darling. If you could just tell me what your drivel has to do with what I wrote.
Snow. Well, not now.
So what does to slashdot mean in Australia? Writing yellow Morse Code in the snow?
While PCs need a return policy, beacause no matter how much you wanted that machine, after a week you wish you had never bought it.
Gotta love Wintrools who tell me that anyone not buying Dells from the Small & Medium Business site because they are cheaper there..
