Yeah, the Mac only got PCI what...12 years ago? (PowerMac 9500 was the first PCI Mac.) Prior to that, they had NuBus which was basically the same thing, but it lost out to the PCI standard.
Apple was the vendor that really caused USB to take off...8 or 9 years ago.
And let's lump Intel in there with protected memory.
It's OK for people who are comfortable adding their own memory - and for those who aren't they get soaked by Apple's super-high prices on pre-loaded RAM. There are probably a lot of people in the middle running with too little memory because they don't know better and wouldn't know how to install the RAM if they did know the cheap places to buy it from and knew about the benefit they would get.
The GPP is right that Apple should just buy the cheap memory and load up all their systems. It would make the average person see the full speed of the Mac and it would make life easier for everyone. (Probably including Apple.)
Thanks for letting me know - I had not been keeping up with all the Treo rumor sites.
I'm pretty surprised about this given that I remember something about Palm Source being sold last. I don't remember the details, but it sure sounded like the Palm OS was dead.
If they come out with the 700p, I'll probably buy one.
1. Murder. Does it really seem reasonable to allow a state to define murder? Should a state be allowed to say that killing poor people for sport is ok?
Clearly, it would improve society if killing poor people for sport were allowed.
2. Obscenity. Does it really seem ok for a state to be allowed to allow child pornography?
Yes, as soon as we are able to show the producs based on this could be highly profitable.
4. Theft. Same argument as murder. Weaker if you're only going to consider non violent thefts.
Theft is when a poor person steals from a store. When a store steals from a poor person, that is OK.
5. Rape. Same argument as murder.
Clearly, the women who incite men to rape them should be punished.
6. Slavery. Should a state be allowed to make it's own decision about slavery?
Yes. Also, I'm waiting for the compensation my family is owed for the property the government deprived us of when our slaves were freed.
Spam ought to be illegal, period. Porn should not be on signs visible in public areas.
A store on the outskirts of town with a small sign saying "adult books" should be avoided by those not wishing to see porn. Especially when it has a warning sign on the door saying not to enter if you are offended by porn.
They should immediately put you in jail. You are the one that issued the http request for the obscene material and brought it into the community. Not the guy in New York City who posted the material that was perfectly acceptable in New York to his website.
It sounds like she made an informed decision and has a reasonable case as to why she made this decision. She should be held up as a model for heads of state and captains of industry to follow.
Why would I want to hire someone who can't even complete a college degree?
Were they too stupid to get admitted to college - or just too lazy to finish?
Seriously, I don't even waste my time interviewing people who don't have a degree. In the past I have worked with a couple of guys without a degree. The problem is they have very little investment in the field. You train them, they decide to go do something else. Or they are completely unprofessional in the way they act - again because they have no investment in a career.
If that is happening, then obviously HR is working counter to the best interests of the company.
I am glad to work for a company that does not have HR.

One of the most useful things I have created for using MacOS X is an AppleScript that opens a new terminal window located at the path of whatever Finder window is at the front. Then, I just add the script to the "Scripts" folder (after activating the AppleScripts menu item. Then, I have an easy way to get from the finder to the terminal (picking my AppleScript off the menu bar) and from the terminal to the finder (using "open").
The source for my AppleScript is:
tell application "Finder"
set x to target of front window as text
set y to POSIX path of x end tell
tell application "Terminal"
do script "cd \"" & y & "\""
activate end tell
To activate the AppleScript menu, you go to/Applications/AppleScript/, then open "AppleScript Utility" and check "Show Script Menu in menu bar" and uncheck "Show Library Scripts" then choose "Open Scripts Folder" and drag the applescript above into that location and it will be in the Scripts menu.
I figure if you are the kind of person to think using "open." is useful, you'll probably like this idea.

I could certainly imagine using this on a laptop especially. What if you could make a laptop with this as the main drive and a iPod sized hard drive as a secondary drive that you put "media" (movies, music, etc.) on?

I use MacOS X. I'm not a big fan of using rm with wildcards. To make sure I know what I'm throwing away, I just type "open." select the files, Command-Delete to throw them in the trash. Then, I can check what is in the trash and hit Command-Shift Delete to empty the trash. It seems to me that it is safer than using "rm *" or even rm "foo*.h". Then, I just hit Command-Tab to get back to terminal. It is actually quite fast.
Let me clue you in. Real developers first pick what they are trying to build, and then pick a development environment that is best for building what they are trying to build. Windows is the best platform to use for development if you want to build an application to run on Windows. MacOS X is the best development environment to use if you want to build an application to run on MacOS X.
I have developed commercially for: Newton (on MacOS), MacOS (on MacOS), Windows (on Windows), Palm (on MacOS), and MacOS X (on MacOS X).
I'd say the biggest problem with Ubuntu is that I read slashdot every single day and this is the first time I've ever come across the term "Ubuntu". I had to read the article to find out that it is Linux + Gnome. I figured Ubuntu was some linux distribution I hadn't heard of before. I do know what Linux and Gnome are. And I have installed Linux (Red Hat) before, but I pretty much only use MacOS X.
My point is that Apple's and Microsoft's marketing efforts aren't nothing. They matter. You can't just come up with some new weird term like "Ubuntu" and then wonder why the general public isn't switching to it in droves.
Or strip the DRM off the files. You can do that with iTunes simply by burning the music to a CD and then ripping the CD. Or you can use PlayFair (Hymm).
Yeah, its a good thing the internet came along and rid the world of corrupt politicians. You can tell this is the case by the current US and Australian governments.
That's why you should immediately file a sexual harassment claim against any/all lesbians you encounter. That way, you can say their claim is just to retaliate against your claim.

The Treo 700 is a Windows CE based device. The 650 will be the last Palm OS based Treo.
I own a Treo 600 and I really like it, but I too do not want a Windows CE based device, so the 600 will probably be my last Treo.
I think you mean ASCII graphics.
