My home machine is an old G4 450dual / Radeon which has shown substantial speed gains with every point release of OSX thus far. Tiger might be the step too far for this machine's gfx card, so I'm not expecting huge UI gains anymore.
So Apple, it's time for those Powerbook G5s we all want - I'm really starting to feel the perfromance gap between my work G5 2500dual / 9800 and my home machine...
That is the single worst car analogy ever on Datslosh, and it's up against some pretty stiff competition. Windows Media Player noly PLAYS certain mdeia formats, and the encoder ENCODES a small subset of those, car stereos generallyu cosist of anf AM/FM tuner married to a CD player - some have superior digital radio systems, some multi-CD, some allow MP3CD, some still have compact cassette, but the basic radio+CD format is common to all makes, so one's choice is not limited in the media types you can choose so much as the EXTRA equipment that you can easily add.
X-Box controllers are designed for Halo. One game. That's all. Pretty fucking useless for anything else, and not even as good as a mouse / KB for Halo!
A pack of 10 DVDs is a pretty compact, lightweight and economical setup. Being sensible and assuming 4.5GB single layer discs that can be read at 16x (about 160Mb/s) you could have 24 drives as a read only RAID with the data protected for both good read bandwidth and redundancy. 24 x 4.5GB gives 108GB - assuming a 180min maximum run time you'd get 0.6GB/minute or 80Mb/sec which is enough for VERY high quality 1920x1080p at 24fps, or excellent quality at even larger picture sizes.
Sounds a lot better than shipping disk packs, and is probably cheaper than a highband internet connection for their distribution VPN or even a satellite delivery set-up.

That was such a misspelling tour-de-force that I can only assume that you're either a) educationally sub-normal b) American or c) a dyslexic who's too stupid to install a spellchecking service.
It's not a great deal to remember for an adult human, is it? If you just remember that there are THREE things to take with you, then it won't take you long to work out which of the three you haven't got.

In more enlightened countries we simply have a countdown disply on the bus stop itself.
Some people, but not me.

Who fucking cares what you do? My home Mac is 5 years old, and cost me around $3k.
3k/60=15.
If you can't afford that sort of outlay then not having a MAc is the least of your worries.
Who said anything about buying one every month?
You're the stupid prick that claims to want one. If you want one, earn some money and buy one you lazy twat.
Gainful employment is reserved for the elite now? Wow, the American dream really HAS died.
You're pro-abortion? Do you want the human race to die out or something?
Get a fucking job.

Nice swastika action.
Who said anything about boycotting the EU?
My kidneys already patented the EXACT recipe that Budweiser uses!
REZ.
Absolutely fuck-all use without vibration.
What does "chump change" mean?
Flamebait?
Is the truth now regarded as flamebait?

Have you considered retaking elementary school?
Your spelling's fucked. Seek help.
"These days, many people (Legally or not) have more music then then can listen to in a year."
Eh? My iTunes says 9.5 days' worth, 28 GB.
And it's THAN.
What? WinAmp covers the same media types as Real now? WinAmp is only a competitor for Realplayer in the most tangential sense.
So instead of Real you're choosing...
Microsoft Windows Media Player!
Good work, that'll slow down those evil monopolists!

Pockets, then?
Or how about just regressing to childhood where your mother does all this tricky stuff for you
Could one not have a RAID array of DVDs? It's a read-only system, after all.
Surprisingly, in the movie/TV world we've come up with a way to use magnetic tape to store and transport AV data, sometimes we call this "videotape".

Keys, phone, wallet.

I've left my phone at home exactly ONCE.
If someone bothers to type "CD-ROM" correctly, then they SHOULD be corrected for typing "mb" when they mean megabytes.
