Big fat deal. They'll just draft a bunch of 16 year olds to get shot storming the place. The politicians and beaurocrats who seize the home won't be sticking their necks out to physically take it.
Actually the difference between conservative and liberal seems to be how you want to pay for big government. Liberals want to pay for it with taxes. Conservatives want to just borrow the money.

I seriously doubt I'll really be caring much about The Onion, Slashdot, HTML/Flash rendering, or other highly technical issues like those.
Yeah, the Onion is real technical.

Look at Bosnia. The main difference is they haven't been able to drag the french, british, germans, and russians into their war on different sides.
They had a story on This American Life about a lady who wanted to become a superhero and worked for many years to become real bad ass like one. I don't know if she was real or made up for the story, but she ultimately became some kind of private detective.
Playing down at the woods/creek isn't any more dangerous now than it was when you were a kid. Let your kids play outside.
My wife won't allow our daughter to play outside unless she can physically see her the whole time because she is sooo worried about "pedophiles". Totally insane.
Also, I've noticed that my kid has her own personality and interests. You will need to become interested in things that interest your child as well as sharing your interests with him or her.
They made a similar product for the Apple II called "AppleWorks". ClarisWorks was created by integrating Claris Resolve, MacWrite, MacDraw, MacPaint, and adding a terminal emulator. Later they replaced the terminal emulator with a presentation module.
If history is any guide, no. When the old Mac clones came out, many of Apple's customers switched to clones such as Power Computing, etc. They did nothing to expand the platform.
I know that I personally switched to Power Computing which the only non-Apple computer I purchased in the 90s out of several purchases.
That's bullshit. When the government of China decided to ban the importation of opium, the British went in there and killed and massacred until they agreed to let the british sell opium.
Viacom wants Utah to have pr0n. Therefore, they will sell it. The people of Utah have no right to ban it.
Make a hardware "underlay" such that you can pop off all the keys, place this piece of rubber with holes in it down carefully, then put the keys back on.
The key presses are now recorded by the underlay.
Made specifically for the Microsoft trusted keyboard, stores multi-GB of data to an onboard storage and key log data can be retrieved via Zigbee wireless.
These will be on sale once 10% of computers have a "trusted" keyboard.
Well, I had a PowerMac 7200 at work that sucked. It crashed and locked up all the time. It was eventually replaced with a Power Center 150 which I believe was a PowerPC 604 system which was rock solid and I really had no problems with for as long as I had the computer.
To be fair, I blame the problem with the 7200 on it being one of the first of its model sold. I always (used to) wait until a new model had been out for a while before buying. I had a 7100 as my personal machine that I bought right after the 7100 had been discontinued and it was really solid.
So, who knows? I just remember all the problems I had with my 7200 and my friend had a PowerBook 5300 that crashed constantly and we both got PowerCenter 150s which were very stable and we thought Power Computing was da bomb.
Isn't there more to a computer than simply a processor? Wouldn't there be hardware componenets in a Macintosh that might be different from "standard" x86 hardware that keeps MacOS X from booting on it?
Besides, Apple already does a pretty good job of limiting what computers an OS can run on. For example, if you buy a computer and then try to use its disks to install an OS on a different model of Mac, you usually get an error message. Whereas with an OS disk that was bought separately, it will install on all supported machines.
Can't Apple just have its installer check to make sure you are on their hardware before installing?
I'm not saying it will be impossible to fool, but most people won't bother since it won't run on standard x86 hardware anyway. If there were someone out there creating specific "mac clones", I would think Apple would just sue them.
Will go back to having proprietary ROMs in the computer?

Go to iTunes Music Store and buy it.

When I buy any technology product, the most important question I ask is, "How will my buying this hurt Microsoft?"
I also wonder how to maximize my buying power in a way so as to hurt Microsoft as much as I possibly can.
I always thought Dvorak was a Microsoft shill.

I have a picture disk of "The Cramps" All Women are Bad.
Why are you shopping Wal-Mart if you don't want to get treated like shit?
What about colored vinyl? How about picture disks?
I have some of both which are pretty awesome to look at.
Or sheet music...
When I wanted a Car with a CD player, the brand new car I bought didn't even have it available as a factory option.
This time around I wanted iPod connectivity, but my new car came standard with a 6 disk changer in the glove box.

It's better to regret the things you have done than the things you haven't.
And by the way, if you see your Mom this weekend, would you be sure to tell her...

a Umax Mac may have been cheaper, but certainly was not better than a genuine Apple, by a long shot).
Or in the case of Power Computing, the clones were better (and less money) than genuine Apple hardware and made Apple look bad by comparison.
