You're missing the point. For the people that care, the context menu is there, but because of the standard one button mouse, designers are forced to not hide functionality in the right click.
You've got to be kidding me. The AV thing is nice, but for straight IM it sucks. I cringe whenever I see people using iChat on a Mac. Check out Adium X.
I just bought a 2001FP, but when I entered the shipping address, I bungled the ZIP code. No biggie, it probably would have gotten here anyway (close enough), but I just wanted to be sure with over $800 on the line.
So I call Customer service to change the address. After sitting on hold for about 20 minutes (and every minute or so, they basically said "Hang up and email us!!!!11!"). So I finally get to talk to someone and I ask to change the address. He says he can't right now because the system is down. I'm like "You're Dell! If your system is down so bad that you can't change a shipping address, you're losing millions of dollars right now." He's like, "We're experiencing a heavy call volume, call back in 10 minutes."
So I ask to speak to the manager. He puts me on hold for about 5 minutes, comes back and says, "My manager is busy with other customers, he can be with you in 10-15 minutes." But then didn't ask if that was ok. He told me to call back in 30-60 minutes. I was like, "Uh, didn't you just tell me 10? And what difference would it make, are you expecting the call volume to decrease?" He kept dodging my questions telling me to call back. So I did, about an hour later.
"Hi, thank you for calling Dell, our call center hours are...." The bastard told me to call back after they had closed for the night! At that point, I almost hoped the package got shipped incorrectly. It would have been a fun phone call, to say the least.
Because of that fiasco, I'll never buy from Dell again.

Isn't that not really a problem, since root isn't, by default, enabled?
There's nothing fundamentally wrong with bundling. It because wrong, however, when you leverage your monoply to gain another monoply in another area.
Microsoft bundles IE with the dominant Windows -> most people use it because it is bundled -> the "features" of IE become a standard that Microsoft controls -> competition is put a further disadvantage. Also, it gives Microsoft leverage in other areas, cf Passport.

Yea, I'm sure Bush had major role in this decision.
Because most people don't know it exists.

I'm running a java applet right now. No problems.
That doesn't work on slashdot, fyi
They were until the PowerMacs came out with enough power to displace the DSP.

Except that adium is totally customizable, everything from the colors on the buddy list on up. They even have themes now to apply a style right away.
Never used IRC, so I don't care about it.
And you can change the ducks too. My icon is the Kid-A bear.
My school banned them too.
Then again, every square inch of dorm space is saturated with a school-owned wireless signal.
CDs... ever hear of them?
Here.
Uh, how would that work, exactly? Where's the 2nd screen? Where's the stylus write on?
Actually, a good CS program will teach you how to think. Programing is secondary.
There's a difference. Apple doesn't have a monopoly position.
Repeat after me: "iTunes is not just a music store."
Good, I knew you could do it.
The future of computing sees 4 surviving standards, ranked in order of marketshare.
1. Windows on x86 (including both Intel and AMD)
2. Linux on x86
3. Linux on PowerPC
4. MacOS (FreeBSD) on PowerPC
Nice troll. What in the hell makes you think that Linux on PowerPC will surpase OS X? Are you talking about servers or desktops?
The case-sensitivity may have changed with an update, or I modified something; my system creates 2 files with touch a; touch A
That created hell when a Dell documentation CD capitialized all file names, but the links in the HTML files used lowercase.
Dell hires idiots, of this I am sure.

The changes to licensing only effect new music purchased through iTMS. Old songs continue to have old licensing terms enforced.
You don't need a 30" display to use the 6800. You do need a 6800 to use the 30" display.
I'll be getting the 6800 with my G5 later this fall.
Perhaps because of what 2 of the "A"s in "MPAA/RIAA" stand for?
I think Zelda still takes the cake. Link to the Past? Ocarina?

Actually, the rumor is that Tiger will only be available on DVD.
