Shit, you're absolutely correct. Since it's a beta surely nothing will change until it goes gold. Thanks for point that out to all of us....... Yeah, they are probably not going to fix minor bugs, but they will certainly replace the default file system.
"Apple ships Bog-standard intel PCs." - "So why do you want them to give you the schematics? You should be able to find them everywhere."
You see, WMF both says that Apple should release schematics to their machines as well as that they are " Bog-standard intel PCs". Get it yet? Like I said, you are dense as ever.
...a link to the actual MacBook Pro web page and specifications, since that's what people here probably care about, as opposed to a "TechNewsWorld" article being the only thing linked in the summary? To risk one third of the posts complaining about "Slashvertisement"?
Also, while Apple folks and other tech-savvy folks may know the Intel-based Macs run Windows, why does the news article not even mention that? For many people even considering buying a Mac, the fact that a laptop like this can easily run Windows natively or seamlessly alongside Mac OS X with packages like Parallels Desktop at least bears repeating.
And why doesn't every article about a new Sony or Lenovo machine mention that it is not only capable of running Windows, but Linux and OpenBSD as well?
Come on, admit it, that's not what most people who might want to buy a Vaio care about.
I really wonder how you live with yourself now that Apple ships Bog-standard intel PCs. So why do you want them to give you the schematics? You should be able to find them everywhere.

Traeger's Law on Advocacy:
"1. Any form of advocacy will lead to an
analogy (e.g. computer advocacy and car analogies). These analogies
will
usually suck. 2. There will be at least one reply a) claiming the
opposite, b) offering a 'better' analogy, c) trying to further the
analogy to all elements in the field, or d) taking the analogy into
minute details. The resulting analogy will usually suck even more."
Examples:
1.
- Macs are like Mercedes, PCs like Fords.
- RISC is like a manual transmission...
2.
a) No, MACS are like Yugos... (note: not an exact opposite)
b) Actually, RISC is like a two-stroke...
- No, a Mac is like a lion, PCs are like fish, because...
c) SUNs... Compaqs... toaster-ovens...
d) The Mac's multitasking is like the Porsches brake-system...
Wow, that was retarded. You've just run out of stuff to make up, haven't you? Says the guy who made up the fact that the iPod started to sell when the Mini came out.
I never made any claims about Jobs' predictions for the iPod. You mis-read my comments and asked for something unrelated to what I was talking about. To explain for the umpteenth time:
If the iPhone is just like the iPod -- and note here that I am not claiming that you said this, though TheRealMindChild did "you claim that the iPhone is just like the iPod, in which case"
You do seem to have some incredible problems with your vision and your temper. Your rage blinds you to the quote from Jobs sitting in your face and prompts you to invent claims that I've never made. Hell, you can't even mock my hyperbole correctly: I said a dozen times, not 20.
I'd ask you to calm down, but I don't think I have the patience to wait that long. Maybe the reason is because nothing you have said made sense?
Nah, that can't be it. Your claims were not based on realöity, but that is obviously my fault. Your made up claim that I said "the iPhone is just like the iPod" made you fantasize that "in which case it'll sell approximately 1/20th of what Jobs claimed it will in its first year" - now what could that mean? That the iPod didn't sell as well as Jobs said it would? So I asked you for Job's predictions of iPod sales - and you give me that for the iPhone.
There sure as hell is someone with a reading problem - and he probably thinks I'm talking about banana cream pie by now.
The waters around china are disgusting. If that isn't enough, zoom in over some of the larger cities and notice how brown they are... it is the smog And Smog isn't CO2. Smog is a local problem.
And not that it's a good idea, but air polutioon actually fights Global Warming (see Global Dimming == Global Cooling).
Oh my, what next? Gonna claim that volcanos produce more CO2 than humans? Okay, humans breath out ~ 1kg of CO2 a day, that's about 480,000,000 metric tons per year for the Chinese population. Less than 9% of US CO2 production.
While I am sure that the US is still much higher per capita, it makes a lot more sense to worry about the consumption of CO2 production than it does the production itself, as it prevents nonsense like pretending that aluminum made elsewhere doesn't pollute. I'm not sure what you are getting at here, but which country is it again that imports all kind of stuff (including aluminum) from all over the world?
Exactly, and the US emissions pale in comparison to the Chinese and soon the Indian subcontinent. You know, you liars have been climing that for a long time, yet China (with about 5 times as many people as the US) still hasn't passed the US in CO2 production.

You could also consider Christians polytheistic: The father, son, and holy ghost.
No, no. That's the Catholics, they aren't real Christians.Well that's what some Protestants say.
How the hell does your case-sensitive file system work when "i" and "i" are infact different chars, and thus "tit" and "tit" are two different files?

You obviously replied to the wrong post.
We've really reached a new low now haven't we? I still haven't sunk nearly as low as you, ohh inventor of "facts".
You started with the making up of stuff. Before I even replied to you.

Let's not forget about those 30+ year old geeks that had Commodore 64s which were much less expensive. Let's not forget 6 years late to the party.

Godwin's Law can be seen as a special case.
