That's your problem. You only have one. My dad taught me (by example) that if you can't find a tool, it means you don't have enough instances of that tool and you need to buy another one. Once you have thirty or so hammers, you won't have any trouble finding one around the house within 5 minutes or so.
Same goes for socket sets, screw driver sets, drills, etc.
I suspect that "univeral" sounded better to the marketing department than "fat". During the transition to PowerPC, applications built for 68K & PowerPC processors were called "fat".
lipo also refers to "univeral" apps as "fat".
(Don't blame me if you don't know what lipo is...)
Buying alcohol or cigarettes or going into an R rated film for another
I call bullshit here. I have bought alcohol without anyone asking to check my ID ever since I turned about 28 - I'm 34 now. When I did smoke, I was hardly ever carded for cigarettes - even when I was 15. I have *never* been carded for an R rated film and I've been going to see R rated films since I was ten.
I think this is a very insightful post - especially the part about "Don't forget, the rules apply to you, not those in power." It's the truth and its a shame.
Every time I have been to the emergency room, they demanded that we fill out all kinds of insurance forms before they would treat myself or my family member. These were not life or death situations, but my 3 year old daughter had a large chunk of marble fall on her head and she was had to have stitches. We had to fill out forms and wait several hours before they would treat her. We were able to get the bleeding stopped ourselves. If we weren't, I'm sure they would have been faster.
I am also sure that if we had not had insurance we would have been turned away.
Don't get me wrong. I am a vehemoth opponent of Jim Crow laws (that is when a city or state uses government power to restrict freedoms of certain people), and I do not support the types of discrimination enumerated in the various anti-discrimination laws.
I don't see any inconsistancy in your view point. You don't like Jim Crow. You also don't like "Crow Jim".
Also, "Nice Christian Male" discriminates against "Mean Christian Male".
One of the main reasons that people (including myself I must say) bought the PlayStation 2 when it first came out was because of the fact that it could play DVD movies. At the time a DVD player was almost as much as a PS2 ($400.00). It seemed like a good deal to me at the time partially because of this.
Wow. I was totally expected to get modded flamebait, so I am very impressed by the thoughtful response.
I know a lot of muslims in the US who are very glad to be here, don't really follow the teachings of Islam, and tell me that they would be afraid for the life to "be themselves" back in their own country.
I really do believe in personal freedom - even the freedom to be an idiot, but I think Islam is incompatible with freedom and democracy. We'll see. My suspicion is that democracy in Iraq won't take hold because of Islam. I think Iraq will vote into power a non-democratic government similar to Iran.
No, the later newtons were not smaller than the original newtons.
The 110 was actually longer than the 100/OMP. The 120 and 130 were the exact same form factor as the 110.
The Newton 2000/2100 was larger than the 110 (in width). It also had a much bigger screen (2X as big, 4X as deep).
The eMate was the largest Newton of all.
Unless you are comparing the 2000 form factor with the Motorola Marco or something...
Palm had three critical advantages over other PDAs at the time: size, speed, and connectivity.
Size: The Palm fits in a shirt pocket. The Newton doesn't. No other PDA at the time was as small as Palm (I'm not talking about the iPaq or other much later PDAs - I'm talking EO, Newton, General Magic and that group.)
Speed: Not necessarily the hardware speed, but in the responsiveness of the system. Palm felt fast. Newton felt slow - at least until the 2000 came out. Get an OMP or MP 100 and try to scroll through the Notepad - sometimes you are waiting many seconds for the system to scroll.
Connectivity: Palm's Conduit API wasn't perfect, but in the day it was better than anything else out there (again, pre-WinCE). You could write a Palm app and a desktop app and get syncing to work pretty well. Newton, the APIs never got out of alpha stage. There was not a good synchronization solution. The synchronization apps from Apple were OK for loading packages, but that was about it. Dan Rowley's X-Port was the best product in its class and he made use of connectivity APIs that were very flaky, were still in alpha stage, and were not generally available to all developers. Also, they were non-trivial to use for a number of reasons. Dan is an extrodinary engineer and got it to work through sheer will and many, many hours of hardcore hacking.
I think a lot of comments in this thread believe there is a choice between either curing people or making a profit. I think that is a false choice. The fact is that many drug companies charge a price for drugs based on what people can pay. The price they charge in the US is different than the price in India which is different than the price in Africa. It is not immoral for the drug company to charge US customers a price they can afford and then give the same drug to desperately poor people in Africa. Nor is it wrong for the government (either US or UN) to pay for the drug to be given to people who cannot afford it while those who can must pay for the drug.
There are a large number of programs that help people who are in need and can't pay for medication. Some programs charge on a sliding scale so that people who can pay something, but not the full price can still get the drugs they need.
If this thing turns out to be a CURE for AIDS, I believe that the number of people who are allowed to die from AIDS unnecessarily because of their personal economic situation to be quite small. It probably won't be zero because there are always "cracks in the system", but I am also quite sure that the government and drug companies will try hard to come up with programs to assist people in those situations AND still compensate the people who created the drug (and their shareholders.)
OK, but where did the researchers get their funding? I have given and raised money for AIDS research over the years, plus the NIH & WHO have given a lot of money to fund research. I think if you are taking public money to fund research and find a cure, then I think it is OK to make a profit, but not to gouge.
AIDs by nature does not 'kill off those engaged in irresponsible behaviour', because the minute they do, they've usually made the female pregnant and so her kid is likely to be born with AIDs. Is THAT kid irresponsible.
Obviously the kid should have chosen his/her parents more responsibly.
Unlike the transition from 68K to PowerPC, the operating system itself is running native in x86 assembly. When Apple transitioned to PowerPC, they rewrote less than 5% of the OS and added the Mixed Mode Manager and the Code Fragment Manager and then shipped it. The system was quite often running in 68K mode. Over time, they made more of the OS PowerPC native. Thus, Mac users got used to equating an OS update to mean "faster system" while in the Windows world the opposite is true.
This time, the OS is written in a high level language and has been maintained in X86 for years.
I think the one serious problem with this scheme is that they think they can drop support for Classic. I think more people use Classic than they think.
These airplanes you speak of - I wasn't quite clear on what you mean? The airplanes would be on earth somehow supporting the moon mission, or flying around on the moon? You do realize that without an atmosphere, it will be somewhat difficult to fly an airplane on the moon?

Not only that, but he is under the delusion that someone who likes cheap-ass hardware is going to pay for an iPod.
``Honey, where's the hammer?''

There is no such rating as "X" anymore. NC-17 replaced "X".
I suspect that "univeral" sounded better to the marketing department than "fat". During the transition to PowerPC, applications built for 68K & PowerPC processors were called "fat".

I had a 5300 cs. It was OK.

I was raised in the Disciples of Christ and my wife is Catholic. We got married in the Catholic Church no problem.
Until there is a solution for this, I see no reason to pay to watch movies in a theater.
Learned BASIC on it, then Forth with fig Forth, then C with Deep Blue C.
Ran a BBS for a while.
I had two Indus GT disk drives.
Front door? For stiches, you are going to be in the emergency room regardless of which "door" you enter.

I am also sure that if we had not had insurance we would have been turned away.
I thought I read (a few days ago) that they were going to start charging for housing ads.

I think the same could happen with Blue Ray.
it doesn't make sense to talk about one's velocity through time.
Sure it does. I am currently traveling at 1 second/second.
Or if you and I both have time machines and we decided to race to 1:00 pm tomorrow it would be always be a tie.
No way, I would win because I would show up at 12:59!
Wow. I was totally expected to get modded flamebait, so I am very impressed by the thoughtful response.

But Islam is a relgion of Peace, remember?
I agree that Islam is actually a satanic religion. I would support a wordwide ban on it.

That's because there is a shortage and Apple is correctly taking a profit on brand new models. In the long run, the GPP is correct.
