On point 3, you can replace the GUI for OS X fairly easily. For a while, I had replaced the original finder with 3DOSX And by replace I mean I moved the finder app out of the system library and replaced it with 3DOSX so that was all that ran. There are also plenty of sites that can tell you how to run KDE or Gnome or any number of other GUIs by default in OS X
How will that bite them? Honestly. How will keeping something up their sleve bite them. They have plenty of developers who have access to what they need, plenty more who love to try and hack things together without even knowing exactly how it works, and plenty of internal developers working as well. The OSS comunity will continue to develop OSS software, and so long as Apple continues to make a system that OSS software will run on, it's not like they'll run out of software anytime soo. So Apple gets to pick and choose developers to develop the best of the best apps, and everyone else gets to develop everything else. I really don't see a point of failure.
I think the difference here is that when Apple did the iPod, it was teh first large capacity high transfer rate MP3 player that could fit in your pocket.
With the PDA market on teh other hand, between cellphones and mini-laptops, there really isn't any where to go. Just about every possible combination is availible for a portable sub laptop sized device. The only way I see Apple releasing a PDA type device is if it's a mini g4 powerbook in the size of an iPod or something like that. It would really have to be that much of a feat for Apple to break in.
Actualy thete's a very good chance the security hole would have been found because according to the tech document, the hole wasn't found by MS, it was found by one of the guys at @stake.
Lived just outside of Schenectady in NY. An area where the average property value was about 400k. A very affluent suburban area. The value on our house was 65k when I left. It was a very simple home, and the fact is we got along just fine. When I do a search for home arround where I live now (in the Raleigh area of NC, 200k homes are much larger than what I grew up in, though certainly not huge. And if I plug in 60k homes, not only do I find homes that are about the same as the one I grew up in, but they've also got more amenities than mine did.
all it takes though is a good worm sent to another user's undecured computer. And chances are, by the time anyone catches on to where it came from, the transaction logs are long gone too.
See the problem is people view a 200k home as being a non luxury. I grew up in what ammounts to a 60k home. 3 bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, dinnning room, living room. And you know what, that's a perfectly fine house for a family of 4. A 200k home may not be luxurious, but it's certainly not a modest home either. A 70k combined income is a perfectly livable income with basic luxuries (including a cell phone, cable, broadband and 2 cars).
Anyone can attain a comfortable lifestyle, but it's a matter of prioritizing, which is what people have forgotten how to do.
If you're 4 person family is living regularly on a 45k income, you shouldn't be living in a 200k home. Furthermore, if you wind up having to take a 20k a year job, and that's your only income, maybe it's time to consider having your wife work some too? Some times you have to make sacrifices like that.
I never said 20k is enough for a 4 person family. But it should be plenty for a single person, or really even two people.
If you lost your 45k job and had to accept a 20k job, it's time to cancel the cable, and the broadband internet. It's time to cancle the cell phone, and cut back on your nights out on the town. It's time to buy hamburger helper instead of sirloin steak. It's time to stop spending money on $6 starbuck 5 times a day. You'd be suprised at how little money you can live on.
WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG. This is where the problem is, people think they need this shit and they pay for it when they can't afford it. You dont NEED a cell phone, so if you can't afford it get rid of it. You don't NEED cable. You don't NEED a new computer. You don't NEED to take a vacation once a year. You don't NEED a new car. You don't NEED broadband internet. You don't NEED a new TV.
All of this shit is extras that you shouldn't be buying when you don't have the money for it. Why is it that people think that when their income is no longer 80k a year, they have to maintain their 80k a year lifestyle? It doesn't work that way.
What people are pissed at is that if I don't want to sit through the extra hours of orcs I don't have to, I can buy the theatrical release. YOU CAN"T BUY THE THEATRICAL RELEASE OF STARWARS ANYMORE except second hand.
I would believe it's enough because it's been enough for my family. It's called not living beyond your means. It means you don't buy a new car every 3 years. It means your computer doesn't get updated every 6 months. It means you coook your own food instead of eating out every night. It means sandwiches for lunch, and not drinking $6 cups of starbucks 5 times a day. $45k is quite a livable wage, but you need to prioritize.
Except you missed the part where he said many people, not many families. Your average family has 2 parents and 2.5 kids right? If both parants make about $45k a year, that's $90k a year total, which believe it or not, is quite a livable income for a family of 4.
Nope, because if you look at the context menu for an item in the Finder, you will see more than 3 context options. Very simply put, back and forward are not actions you perform on the page you are clicking on.

well, not a 486, though I probably should since I have a bunch of old ones, but I did do that to an LC-3. Damned if those fuckers weren't durable.
Does having been in teh red these past few years make them beleaguered yet?

I think Apple would like to disagree with you on that point:
OS X.3 can address 64 bits
Well, most of us bought 10.1 for $20 shipped or went to our local store and got the free upgrade disc.

Of course, i could be wrong.
It shoudl be a 4200 RPM, that's what Apple usualy puts in teh powerbooks unless you order it otherwise.

That assumes your security camera is of a good enough resolution and angle to get what you're doing.
There is, but sadly we've created a society where both parents in most cases must work. Now we have to deal with that reality.

Well then the evidence should be presented as Exhibit A the original and Exhibit B the enhanced according to our scientists.
Is there any software out there that accurately depicts strings or horns? Those always sound like crap if they aren't the real things

I think what he was saying was that weather it's through the shareholders or the customers, all the taxes on businesses get passed on to individuals.

Well, I suppose if you're using lynx for all your web browsing needs, chances are, you know how to program already.
