Many car reviews are done in pre-production cards that other auto journalists have already beaten the heck out of, and are in worse shape that one you'd drive off the lot. The better reviewers mention shortcomings in their reviews to do you the favor of letting you know the weak spots to look for to see if they've kept up on their promises to the reviewer.
Remember, Jobs & Co are 2 steps ahead of what's out there. What this allows is people to experiment with dual booting, getting a partition set up and running.
Then Leopard comes out, and supports virtualization out of the box and guess what, it uses the Windows partition already on your machine!
This will save them the trouble of having to make the Windows file system compatabile with HFS+, keeping all of those nasty malwares on the Windows partition.
didn't start yapping about campaign finance reform until the Repubs got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
What part of McCain-Feingold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCain-Feingold DON'T you understand? It took forever for that to get passed, and he still works for campaign finance reform.
The pharmacutical thing: He's from Arizona and there's a lot of retired people there.
Office on mac usually comes out one year after a Windows release. That said, the Mac Business Unit usually throws in one or two new ideas which end up in the next Windows Office release.
MS sold their shares quite a while ago, and at quite a nice profit too!
I'm with you. I buy a new PC every three years and they're generally so much faster than the ones before it that another 2, 5 or 10% doesn't really matter.
I used to do the look through Computer Shopper & spec out a machine myself, but now I have a house, a wife and a kid and I just don't want to spend time on those things.
I don't know about ECC (or even just parity) support in current desktop chipsets, but shouldn't overclockers who are worried about reliability (and all of them should be) start using ECC memory so that they are at least likely to notice when they are going too far?
As I remember it, ECC is signifcantly slower than non-parity. Parity RAM is pretty much non existant, and has been for quite some time.
From my perspective, most overclockers seem to be only worried about going from 80 fps to 83 fps in their First Person Shooters, I don't think they really care that much about stability.
Didn't the signals in the movie and book "contact" come from Vega. There's that one scene where the come back to the array and there's the Chevy Vega fan club.
The last guy in the assembly line would BURN OFF the math coprocessor of the DX's, making them SX's.
This is a legend that i wish would die out. Yes, the first 486SXs were DXs with a disabled or (more likely the case) defective math co-pros. After Rev. A, SXs they were different pinout, different case (plastic vs. ceramic), different connector type (BGA vs. pins).
That said, I will admit the 487SX was a bit odd (a 486DX with one pin different). Then again, computers cost a lot more back then.
Would that it were true. They're 5400 RPM. Look at the top of the 3rd column from the left.
Woah. When they were first announced, I went to the apple store to price one out. I clicked on the "Learn More" link below the drop down for upgrading the HD and they said they were 7200 RPM, but now that's changed to 5400.
I stand corrected. It must have been a error that they noticed and changed.
I also noticed they now have two DIMM slots, but they say you have to have them in pairs, but at least the max is 2 GB. The Imac seems like a better value, unless you have a nice LCD display and your CPU just died.
As I remember it, the ball would settle into an orbit corresponding to velocity(SS) + velocity(golfball) (but only the vector component of the speed in the direction of the orbit) if it's shot the same direction the SS is moving and Vss - Vgb if hit off the "back" of the space station.
Let's assume the elasticity of the club face is the same for a driver and a 9-iron and the club head momentum are equal (he'd have to swing a lot faster with the 9-iron because it's quite a bit shorter), and they're hit in the same direction the space station is moving. A driver with only a few degrees of loft would of course hit a very flat trajectory and would contribute most of the energy into forward motion, and the ball would disappear ahead of the SS and eventually pass the SS in a higher orbit. The 9-iron would impart much more of the momentum "up" but it would settle down in an orbit higher than the SS, but not nearly as much as the driver shot would (due to less velocity in the direction of the orbit).

Will it be known as Aragorn when it comes out of beta?

How about RedWings? Not Detroit hockey, Red Wing MN shoes.

"Let it Be .. Naked" 2003 un-Phil Spector'ed version of "Let it Be"
How did he get that name? Did his parents write "Alistair MacDonald" on a Newton?
I hold many fond memories of SMRRT & the first Civ, but now, looking back some of the limitations of the originals, I'd rather play the new ones.
They sure were impressive for the time though!
Did you see this http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/18/ 2021233 ? It looks like he is taking a look at RRT again!

So does that make iPods eggs?
I didn't see Firewire on that one.
Are these Dimensions or Optiplexes? If you're buying 100 at a time, go with Optiplex! Much more stable than the "motherboard of the day" Dimensions.
Maybe she was knighted?
Just a bed!
How abou:
Lights?
Alarm Clock?
I thought it was one less than HPFS!
If we could just harness Angus! I swear, he must lose 5 pounds during a show.

There are 7200 RPM drives in the minis now. That should help some.

There are currently 1.93 billion shares outstanding http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=DIS
so, about 3% of DIS, a spot on the board, but not 40% of DIS
