Sure, a gas pipeline (not oil, natural gas), would have stopped Solidarnosc. Not!
Well, okay, maybe a little. But certainly not as good as "a little" CIA intervention has stopped dozens of movements to bring a little freedom on our side of the Iron Curtain. Face it, the CIA is just a gang of terrorists and the US only gives a damn about human rights when they can use them as a reason to use force.
Remember, when they tried to "help" the Afghan people, they send Osama Bin Laden over there. Good job, that.
So because the US thought the technological backward and poor Soviet Union could monopolize the energy market in Western Europe (IOW winning the capitalist game), they blew up a pipeline risking the lives of hundreds of people (yeah, they knew exactly that the pipeline would blow up in the middle of Nowhere, not middle of Novosibirsk). I wasn't being sarcastic, I am disgusted.
There were no reported deaths. IOW there could have been dozens, knowing Soviet information policy. And the explosion could as well have happened in a densly populated area, there was no way to tell where the pipeline would break.
Well, that still leaves us with a) having to power the thing from the internal power supply, b) cooling the thing, and c) the price of the (to be designed) "mother"-board + interface to share the resources of the host-Mac.
So how do you name stuff you recorded? That's what you were talking about on the Dell isn't it?
Did you read his original post? "[...] and there is no way to name your recordings so you know what they are. (By the way, this might be good because [...]".
Anyway, the iPod doesn't come with recording ability as a standard feature.
AFAIK a PCI card can use 25 W max. This will have to power not only the CPU, but also chipset and then some. You'ld have to use a mobile version or a Transmeta and design and build a special mother/daughter-board. In the end it would probably not cost less than VPC, and be both more expensive and slower than a PC desktop.
The To Do list shows 15 tasks, one guy working on 4 (one finnished), one on another, and 3 working on the most important one: Improving the Webpage. The rest has yet to be assigned.
Not that the small states actually count that much when you think about it. In the last election the 7 states + DC with 3 electoral votes each could have voted any way they wanted - a couple of houndred popular votes out of 6 million cast in Florida would have canceld out anything they did.
Sure, some people may not be able to get their entire song collection onto their iPod Mini (or even their 40 GB iPod) - but how long does it take to completely fill that 4GB with hours and hours of music you might want to hear in the next couple of days? Tell iTunes to sync that playlist with your iPod, go take a dump, and your iPod Mini will be like new.
I once heard that people complain that most songs on most CDs are just filler. But that only comes from people who download their MP3s from the net, I'm sure.

Err, no, the hardest game is definitely the adventure-series Windows - You just can't win, and of course it's not native on the Mac.
Didn't I hear this before? Was it when IBM said they were going to make the 970?

Yeah, fliying planes into WTC surely wasn't a problem for Al Qaeda. So why do you prosecute them for it?
So the CIA is supposed to blow up pipelines, so that Europe doesn't become "dependent on Communist gas" and stays dependent on American oil?
Yeah, the ruling class in America has absolutely no power, and the Nazis were socialists.

It's like setting up a booby trap. It's not the guy setting it up, it's the guy that steps on it that causes the explosion.
Let me get this straight: The US invaded Afghanistan because it had nothing to do with Al Qaida?
A sting operation causing a huge explosion that could have cost hundreds of lives.
Or The Abyss or even Titanic. He did more than just the first two Terminator movies.

Yeah, it's also larger and heavier. If LaCie added MP3-playback to this, would you carry it around (maybe with a car batterie on your back)?

So you take a harddisk from a DELL notebook to a IBM notebook - and it just works? This I've got to see.
Not that the small states actually count that much when you think about it. In the last election the 7 states + DC with 3 electoral votes each could have voted any way they wanted - a couple of houndred popular votes out of 6 million cast in Florida would have canceld out anything they did.

Unless you are one of those who buy it for the harddisk inside, that costs more retail than the iPod Mini.
