Was Gandhi and his followers considered terrorists? Remember, the sites are listed as ailises of existing terrorist organizations. THe site itself is not listed as a terrorist org.
Actualy I was suggesting they would go Win2k to Win ME to one version of XP and I calculated the minimum and maximum price paths. Even if you factor ME out of the equation, and just go from 2k to XP (a reasonable upgrade path) it was still more expensive.
Apparently you've never wanted to play your music on any non-apple product without first expanding your files to 12x their original size, and then possibly having to re-compress them to another format
When I want to do that, I copy the file over to my windows computer, change the name from.m4p to.m4a, and QT for windows glady plays the file.
Or I could likewise use a program like Audio Hijack and take the digital sound from my computer and rencode it as m4a
I also imagine you've never had to deal with losing a hard disk full of all those precious songs and having to redownload and re-license them for your new machine because you can't just copy them over.
As opposed to say, having to repurchase all of your CDs if your house burns down? I thought we were all past the point where we never made backups of our systems.
Certainly though, you've drunk Apple's cool-aid with respect to AAC having acceptable sound quality, despite strong evidence that it's only *marginally* better than MP3 at low bit rates (which ITMS files are).
Heh, just an amusing factoid for you. Up untill I think a little before the debut of the P4, Intel's marketing division used almost exclusively macintosh computers. Does that count?
But yeah, i see your point, I just think the death of WinPPC had more to do with no mac users wanting Windows rather than Moto not marketing the chip well.
A note on the PPC Windows. IIRC at the time this was a availible, the primary consumer of the PPC chips were Apple users, so it wasnt' so much that motorola let it die so much as there was no demand.
I realize that, but don't you think that as the film degrades from repeated showings that these spots are going to become very noticeable and detract from the movie going experience? Why should I pay $10 to see a movie if there's going to be splotches all over it?
"Let's see how we can piss off and ailienate our customers some more. Oh I know, let's give them even less of a reason to buy, view or care about movies. That'll teach em."
Yeah, it's a real shame that companies like yellow dog linux and mkLinux, and LinuxPPC don't make OSes for the mac.
And it's even sadder that only Apple makes macintosh hardware. Cause I would sure love to be able to buy third party hardware like the stuff mentioned at www.dealmac.com
Hmm, one of the posters up above reported they had crashing problems in the last update when the processor was running at or close to 100%. Any apps that are chewing up a lot of CPU time? (run "top" in the terminal)

sure it does. If the dock is not ready to recieve them, they would have spent their time sitting off the coast waiting anyways. And even if it was ready to recieve them, they still aren't off duty until the day they were scheduled to be.
Any actual links to evidence on that? The carrier was comming in, it had not yet arrived, so there would be no going back. As for the difference in costs as opposed to riding marine one in. Probably negligable.
Well, to start with, the delay was really no delay at all given that the carrier was ahead of schedule and most likely would have just spent the extra day off the coast.
Second, given the nature of the plane, the only place the president coul dhave been was in the cockpit.

Relevant to DRM because....?
Because 97% of power supplies don't come in the long and squat form that fits nicely in the top of a G4 tower.
No, no pre release, but you do get a copy of the OS every time they release an update.
And amazingly enough it's still cheaper than running and upgrading windows:

http://simplest-shop.com/Macintosh--1-229660-so
Let's see
X.1 Sept 28, 2001
X.2 Aug 23, 2002
That puts 11 months between those two releases
And assuming the earliest release of X.3 in sept, that would be 13 months from the last release. And 16 months in december.
By contrast:
Windows 2000 , Feb 17 2000
Windows ME released Sept 14 2000
That would be 7 months
Windows XP Oct 25 2001
That would be 13 months
And lets compare prices:
Mac OS X $130 always (full version)
Windows 2000 $320
Windows ME $110 (upgrade) or $210 (full)
XP Home $100 (upgrade) $200 (full)
XP Pro $200 (upgrade) $300 (full)
So from OS X.0 to X.3
March 2001 to (assumed) Sept 2003 (31 Months)
You've spent $390
From Windows 2000 to Windows XP (19 Months)
Feb 2000 to Oct 2001
You spend at minimum $530 and at most $830
Still cheaper than buying and upgrading windows:

Hmm, as a student, one would think you would be getting it for free. Oh well, I guess not everyone signed up for a developer account.
Can you imagine Intel using AMD PC's?
Heh, just an amusing factoid for you. Up untill I think a little before the debut of the P4, Intel's marketing division used almost exclusively macintosh computers. Does that count?
But yeah, i see your point, I just think the death of WinPPC had more to do with no mac users wanting Windows rather than Moto not marketing the chip well.

And if I want a windows box I am limited to one OS vendor. And if I want a RedHat box I am limited to one OS vendor.
So the only advantage is hardware choice, but that's only for the base system. And even there, I've said it before, how much of a choice do you have?
Intel or AMD
Soundblaster or Soundblaster
NVIDIA or ATI
I realize that, but don't you think that as the film degrades from repeated showings that these spots are going to become very noticeable and detract from the movie going experience? Why should I pay $10 to see a movie if there's going to be splotches all over it?

go for it. seriously, I'm sure it would come out cheaper, but let's find out how much.
While you wont find GTA (and why buy it for the PC when my PS2 will do just as nicely?) you can find plenty of mac games:

Hmm, one of the posters up above reported they had crashing problems in the last update when the processor was running at or close to 100%. Any apps that are chewing up a lot of CPU time? (run "top" in the terminal)
No problems here, have you tried booting from another disk and repairing permissions that way?
hmmm, let's see. I've used P2P apps to:
*Remotely administer files on a computer
*Access files on my PC while at class
*Back up data
*Aquire legal distributions of applications
*Aquire legal distributions of media
*Aquire quick information about a song or artist
*Communicate and (legaly) share files between friends and co-workers
seems like legitimate uses to me.
What would you call the area of a plane in which the pilots and crew are located?
Source?
sure it does. If the dock is not ready to recieve them, they would have spent their time sitting off the coast waiting anyways. And even if it was ready to recieve them, they still aren't off duty until the day they were scheduled to be.
Any actual links to evidence on that? The carrier was comming in, it had not yet arrived, so there would be no going back. As for the difference in costs as opposed to riding marine one in. Probably negligable.
Well, to start with, the delay was really no delay at all given that the carrier was ahead of schedule and most likely would have just spent the extra day off the coast.
Second, given the nature of the plane, the only place the president coul dhave been was in the cockpit.
