If you've got a noisy, cheap IBM drive or something. Mine goes WEEEEEEOOOOOOEEEEEWWWW ad infinitum. At least they make an app that will let you adjust the loudness.
Otherwise, for a suitable drive, I find I'm paying about $2/gigabyte. I mean, those 200 GB maxor DiamondMax Plus 9 drives are pretty expensive. =P
Mac OS doesn't run on any system without a proprietary Apple-Branded-And-Blessed-By-The-Hand-Of-Steve ROM. Otherwise, it just won't boot. ROM is crucial to the bootage of any Mac OS.
D00d, why are you using a computer in AUSTRIALIA!? Not to be flaming you or anything, but it's DAMNED expensive to buy even a pretty old computer down there. Hell, I auctioned off my old TiBook to someone down there. Shipping's a bitch, but then again, I made a hefty profit.
Sure, you get a big RAID-0 on the other end of that thing with multiple busses and you'll have it running at full capacity, or it could even be a way to implement an UltraMegaSuperWideFatAndLong SCSI RAID.
Down at Millstone in Waterford (now Dominion Power Plant) they had three reactors. #1 was offline forever, #2 was down for maintainance, and #3 was up and running.
We got to look at the turbines and heat exchangers for the #1 since radiation was really, really, really low, and we got to crawl around inside the turbine area. Holy monkey. I remember thinking: Five stories of piping, cages, and catwalks + lots of people + paintball = a fun time. Heh, CTF paintball.
Anywho, I had a great time. The tour wasn't a touristy-type tour, so they didn't have a whole pamphlet and stuff to let us in. It was more like some guy from the office got bored type tours.
Sadly enough, after (I feel like such a cliché saying this) 9/11 they locked down the plant. Now the containment towers have guys with Stingers on 'em, and they've hired a kind of paramilitary security force. You won't make it past the training center with the security they have there.
Headline: Troll Causes Car Pileups Around the World After Linking to Goatse.cx
Car accidents wreaked havoc in major cities yesterday after a rogue troll posted a link to goatse.cx. Toyota Camrys with the new windshild HUD option were tricked into displaying the offensive site, causing mass panic and causing drivers to lose control of their vehicles.

...Which is why the French don't have a massive submarine fleet. Can you imagine the government paying some schmuck 7.5 million (5% royalty) for a 150 million sub?
With this inexpensive computer it might dramatically drive down the prices of web access and give India's lower class a much needed edge over the surrounding countries. After all, for a computer that costs $99 and monthly access for $5, it seems like a no-brainer for the thousands of informationally-unaware people there.
Well, see, the problem with tat side-by-side dealie is that certain seemingly related products really DON'T belong side-by-side. I mean, at one OfficeMax I went to, printing paper was not in the "paper supplies" aisle, but in the "computer hardware" aisle. Sometimes these things go awry.

I find it funny that they can patent relevancy rankings. Hey, didn't google already do that? They DID? Oops.
I wonder, why I'd go with Mac, though, when the real FreeBSD runs on a more powerfull and cheaper hardware
Probably because it's a lot easier to run a unix-based system with a Macintosh frontend.
Probably because the Mac is a lot better looking (both GUI and casing) than most of its Wintel counterparts.
I don't think that the Apple marketing department is targeting the people who like to wring every last cycle out of their hardware and OC the crap out of it. They aim for a market with a bit more disposable income.

But of course! They're...um...sticking it to The Man, and.....that's...good. Yes. Fantastic.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah.
That's über-groovy.
In light of the recent Wired article, I got to see the human side of Rosen. I'm kind of disappointed. I mean, she DOES own an iPod.

I was thinking more along the lines of no software overhead. Like running it normally.
I mean, sure, you can run windows on apple-branded products, but when you say that it doesn't sound like an emulated environment.
Dude. My heat is out. What's in my lap?
Yes, my trusty, warm TiBook. It's making me so much warmer.
Brr. It's cold.
- You do not need to buy apple to run MacOS.
Er....
Yes you do.

I noticed it b0rks some shopping carts with a lot of java, namely crystalfontz's cart. Maybe this new build will solve that.

Fark.com declined comment, citing urgent administration tasks.
Meh. Go wash some clothing and tell me if you've wasted more of nature's resources on LED's than water.
They wouldn't do that because it would bring up the invalidity of their patent. I think case modding would go on with a nod and a wink from Apple.

Hmm. Sounds like a mouse. You know, it's obvious once you hear about it, and it's frickin useful to boot. /apple history reference

It's my duty.
Of course. Pr0n is the catalyst.
Examples:
VHS: easily distributed pr0n.
Business over the web: pr0n sites.
CD-ROM: easily disseminated pr0n from said sites.
And now, waterproof magazines: Wank-proof pages = fewer ruined magazines.
Waterproof keyboards: no sticky keys!
It's rather prevalent in the modern society(>mid70's) that pr0n is the first or one of the first things transferred in the new medium.
Then again, who WOULDN'T want their copy of Stuff to last 500 years?
Especially if it's an artifact some future archaeologist digs up. Nothing like preserving the superficial pop culture for all eternity.
That's a lot of patents.

You need oxygen to make a fire with hydrogen.
Just a thought.
Just one question: when is an object considered a moon?
I've tried the USGS, the IAU, and a general google search. This is going to annoy me to no end until I get an answer.
