having been at the karma cap for nearly six months i can assure you that i'm not a troll. now, there are 1000s of slashdot readers that don't care about every article that is posted. some stories are of interest to some people, other stories are not. if you are an uninterested party, ignore it.
try reading the article instead of just the summary. those different colored words will take you there. they're called "hyperlinks" and take you to other places on the "internet"
3. Apple was-- and is-- a hardware company, not a software company.
This statement is posted quite often, but I have to (somewhat) disagree. Apple is not just a hardware company. Apple is a COMPUTER company. They make the whole shebang, the hardware, the OS, and a lot of the best software for the platform. Very few other companies can say that. (Sun, IBM, HP, perhaps... with various Unices in ONLY the server market)
I am glad that Apple doesn't port to x86. As a long time windows/linux user, I can say that I was surprised at how much I love my Mac systems. OS X, how I love thee./3
I used the IE that came with OS X for a few months (seemed like years since it's so damned slow) then i started using mozilla which was ok except it didn't scroll for shit (resolved in latest version) then i moved on to chimera which i absolutely loved (even though the v. i have still can't download) but now... i say my rosary to OmniWeb. It (almost) makes my iBook have orgasms. Definatly my first choice for a while.
i'll be damned if i'm going to pay for it, though.
there was a strange background noise the whole time though... sounded something like "turn that damn thing off" but i didn't pay any attention to it. must have been my imagination...
maybe i just missed it, since it is a rather lengthy description, but i didn't see anything that mentioned actually GOING to the ISS. it just talks about training and simulators and the like. i sure as hell wouldn't pay $20M to fly on a plane that *feels* like 0-g
with my current financial situation, it looks like i'll be going to the space station pretty soon. if i save every penny i can (post bills et al) i can buy a ticket in about 200,000 months.
my mother was sure her dog would say "i love you" and the cat will say "what?" if you ask it a question. surprisingly, she doesn't have a history of crack addiction.
I've had my iBook(500) running almost continuously since I bought it last September. The ONLY time I have rebooted was to install the 10.1 update. The damn thing is like a rock. Eight months without even a hint of a problem. I wish I could say that about my XP and SuSE 7.2 boxen.
A molten core would allow for continuous Geothermal energy (methinks) which would be more useful than solar, since any given location on the moon is only facing the sun for half of each month.
amazing. a first post by submitter. anyway, i know it's off topic, but i was just curious what books you might recommend to learn cocoa and carbon. i'm getting tired of windows programming.

think differently, or think different (and get an iBook)?
yes, two batteries last longer than one. good deduction, sherlock.
uh... doesn't north attract south? so there would be a LOT of friction in your "invention"
300 DVDs?
I guess there isn't a Blockbuster in your neighborhood, eh?

"Do not take if you are pregnant, or could become pregnant"
seems like that's a common warning these days, should work just as well for thalidomide.
does Hawkeye still do the SA shows?
I didn't say that I don't pay for software. I said I won't pay for my browser... it IS offered as a free download.
/. experience? :-P
Besides, I was pretty drunk when I posted that. And since when is tact part of the

Well, the people ARE called Humans, and they DO speak English, so maybe when the Empire fell, some of them came to Earth to start a new life.
they must not have had the common "leaking hyperdrive" problem, though if they made it this far.
I hope that HoloConference is before December 22...
I'm sure nobody will believe this, but...
I had sex while watching Voyager once.

What happens if they get a little breeze of tachyons and get hurled into Cardassian space?
thanks, both to you and the subsequent replies.

there was a quotation inside the post, at the end there aren't two double-quotes, there's a single quote and a double quote.
