Yeah, those green circuit boards with black chips on them from Macs look way cooler than those dorky green boards with black chips on them from Dell. Definitely worth the premium price...
Sending stuff to Mars is hardly routine, it costs a billion dollars and only works right about a third of the time. And as for your hafnium bombs, I wouldn't lose too much sleep since the physical effect they depend on seems to be irreproducible. You worry too much, man.
Fine, but 1-over-r-squared is pretty good shielding. You'd have to convince the victim to come over and stick his head inside the thing. It's not like you could just zap people sniper-style from 100 yards away.
Not only that, I also heard that they use the DMCA to require you to buy a $699 SCO license in order to vote. You take that license to the polling place, where you then fill our a free registration form in order to get a proprietary RFID chip that will open the booth door and that will also be used to track your votes. The bastards!
There is something out there called Ogg-FLAC, which is FLAC-format audio in an Ogg container. Maybe iTunes could play those using the Ogg Quicktime plugin? Just a guess...
It looks to me like only iPods with the dock connector will be ALE-capable. Shucks, too bad for me, although since mine is the original 5GB version I don't think I would have used ALE on it anyway.
I've often noted that it's only relatively wealthy people like JS Mill - who don't have to fight in the wars themselves - that say stuff like that. Think it's just a coincidence?
You must have used a bad encoder or something, because I don't believe that "most" people can tell the difference between a WAV and an APS lame file which would be under 256k average. Encoders make a big difference.
A heirarchical presentation of Artist-Album-Song using ID3 tags seems pretty obvious to me. I don't think this is some sort of great idea that Apple had and nobody else can use.

Have all the karma you want, dumbass, it's worthless anyway. We non-cult-members can see that clearly as clearly as we can see that Macs are ripoffs, too bad you can't figure out either one...
I even put my bonus point on this one, if that doesn't make you come in your diaper I don't know what will!

Sigh, it's worse than I thought. Clearly the festering pain of having been ripped off by Apple over and over is causing you to explode with rage, only to have no memory of the episodes later. Such multiple-personality disorders are common among cult members.
(Don't take any of this seriously, I'm just feelin' goofy tonight)

You're just making it worse for yourself, amichalo. With each post you look more and more foolish. It's obvious that deep down you know you overspent for an underpowered computer, and no amount of unsupported assertions about how OSX is "so much better" than anything else or bad "M$ Windoze" jokes is going to make that feeling go away.

If you're going to throw around words like "cachet" you could at least spell them correctly. Not much cachet in being illiterate, no matter what type of computer you use...
Where is comes from is if you take a drawing down to the machine shop with metric measurements on it, the machinists will tell you to shove it you know where. That's been my experience anyway, all of their equipment uses inches and if there are any conversion mistakes to be made they would rather that you make them yourself rather than getting them to do it.
That's what I was wondering also. I have a faint recollection that that's how Travelocity used to work, all the pages were http but they used some javascript thingy to encrypt and send off the stuff you entered into the form fields. Maybe the school is using something like that?
I agree, checking your rear-view mirror at night is like staring into the sun these days. It's like some sort of "arms race" to see which manufacturer can install the most blinding headlamps. Maybe I'm just getting old but I never used to have to flip the mirrow to the reflected view setting and I find myself doing it constantly now.

Yeah, that's quite a defense of spending all day on IRC - "at least it's better than watching soap operas!"

All this proves is that you don't actually know anyone who studied CS in college. That's understandable, I didn't know any when I was 13 either.
I thought we buy microwave burritos because we're too inept in the kitchen to actually cook anything?

"white color", what a hilarious typo!

But then you end up with PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH a mile long. It's even worse with Perl modules or emacs lisp packages. Try again, smarty-pants.
I bet none of those guys signed their letters with a list of famous people who believed in God. I suggest you imitate them in that regard as well.
OOG didn't smash Open Source CD's, he SMASHED HEADS with Open Source CD's. It's an important distinction.
Nah, if you make the blanks too expensive people will just start downloading them off the Internet too. Goddam brats are just too smart!
