The country isn't built on blind questioning. Or whining. Or endless nitpicking.
I see what you're saying. But a lot of people don't realize that you can't just say "You're doing it wrong.". Because when you're in leadership you have to do *something*. Give them an alternative that you can prove is better.
I don't see that. I see people throwing out solutions without showing that they put any thought into it. When questioned about the details they freak out about it.
Fighting against the country without a good, thought out reason is being a traitor. A stupid one. d
Because the only people I see waving their hands over something like this are the same people who want to call a mud puddle "Protected Wetlands"
Namely, people who have lost all credibility.
Read the comments this news will bring up. You'll see a lot of hand wringing and sly comments. But no real insight of what this means. No links to successes or failures of operations that used the Patriot Act. Probably no mention that of certain clauses that will sunset at the end of the year.
I would be in shock if someone posted their conversation with the Senator.
And frankly you're not much better. So you see what's going on, you're sickened. Great. Have you divided it into things you can and can't change? Have you prepared yourself for the future you see is coming? What are you *doing*?
I'd bet it's nothing. So when people like you, who are on top of the situation are doing nothing, the uninformed people see that and follow your example.
Run "Top" so that it refreshes every second. (I believe that's default.)
On the Mac Mini, it uses 7% CPU I have a friend who just got a dual 2.0 G5. Had him run Top and I was stunned at how much CPU time it took. I didn't write down the exact number so I'm not going to mention it here.
On any x86 system I've used, Top barely uses any CPU.
Mine gives me a listing of shows, will record straight to the hard drive, at mpeg-2, while I'm watching another channel, it will list the shows with their summaries, and I didn't have to buy an 800$ camcorder to do it.
That's a bad idea. Because then a corporation will go: Will it cost more than 1000$ per problem to deal with this? Yes? Then screw fixing it, it's not worth it.
Yes! That's all I did! That's what it's like to teach to the layman. Get it? It's not technically challengeing, mostly you're providing basic concepts for people to digest. Unless you need them to act on that info, it's extranious.
"On top of that, 340282366920938463 sextillion are 340 undecillion."
(blink) I really, really hope you don't teach anyone anything on your job. When talking about the US national debt, would you say it's 7.7 trillion dollars or 7,782,154 million?
Great, and how will this change "The Layman" idea of ip4 vs. ip6 that I laid out?
I'm pretty good with dealing with large numbers; I can't begin to imagine what a sextillion of anything will look like.
You get points for being technically accurate, but lose the game for actually achieving the objective, which is telling him what it is. 128 bit vs. 32 bit? What's that? How does this affect him? Don't add unnecessary bit of info when you're trying to build up the big picture.
And if you want to get picky about the technical aspect, you should at least get it right, it's three hundred forty undecillion addresses.
"Of course, 18 gig of images is a bit much to ask of iPhoto, regardless of the type of machine you're using."
Why?
Look, one of the Apple mantras is "It just works."
Well, in this case, it doesn't work. And it doesn't matter if there's too much info, or a corrupt photo. The software should have been programed to handle these situations. This is part of the software design and testing.
All computers connected to the internet have a IP number assigned to them, so other computers know how to send info to them. IP4 is four numbers seperated by a dot.
ex: 135.246.123.221
That have us roughly 4 billion numbers. It wasn't enough. So, the new IP6 has SIX numbers.
ex: 221.231.246.135.111.222
Which gives us 275 trillion numbers. Hopefully, this should tide us over for a while.
This is as layman as it gets.

I should have known better than to debate with insane people. My bad.
2) There is no distinction between what machines can be servers and what cannot...
Then why do only the Xserves have ECC RAM?
3) You provide the most piss poor reasons to run linux I have ever heard. OS X can do everything in a server capacity that linux does, as such there is no reason to run linux on the mac
I've done VNC to a Fedora Desktop and a OS/X desktop. Just because OS/X *can* do it, doesn't mean it's any good at it. To sum "You don't have to install linux on a Mac, but there are some things that Linux can do better."
4) Apple is hardly going to care that people want to run linux on their hardware, because you already paid them for their hardware. Repeat after me: "Apple is a HARDWARE company." The fact they make good software doesn't change that.
Oooook. Then why charge 125$ for a *software* upgrade? Seems that they're making a good chunk of change from that. I bought a Mac Mini to try out OS/X. It certainly wasn't for the hardware.
For a hardware company, they sure farm out a lot of their hardware to be created/produced by othe people. It's almost as if they just collect all the parts and build them into a computer, which they sell. Repeat after me, "Apple is a COMPUTER company."
5) Apple isn't consumer friendly? They replace non functional components on the spot in their stores,
The stores going out of business because Apple is no longer cutting them deals?
they perform the os upgrades for you preserving yoru data, and take your expensive toys and provide you new ones when they break or your battery dies, how are they not consumer friendly?
And there we sum it up in one word from your mouth. Toys. Apple computers are shiny expensive toys.

Actually, I think a better question is:
What happens if you write a virus on company time?
Not only do they own the virus, but then they would become liable for any damage that it does.
Hack the OS so it doesn't check for that chip.
Hardware dongles have been out for a long long time.
Wow, I didn't know the Focus was such a great machine that it could easily outperform a BMW.
There's a reason he could buy a G3 for 25$
How is taking Open Office, and making it look good on a Mac, "Making a big difference"?
Unless that's the default behavior on a PC, then doing that isn't a fair comparison.
Having it update every 5 seconds instead of every second also reduces it's footprint.
Run "Top" so that it refreshes every second. (I believe that's default.)

On Windows you just right click on the start bar and choose "Cascade windows". It will put all the apps fully on screen.
I bought a dual tuner card for my PC yesterday for 135$.
Yeah, there are many things you can use on a 1800$ power mac, (Not the 500$ mac mini). But like all things Mac, you are paying a premium price for it.
I'm considering selling my Mac mini now so I can put a down payment on a house. I ended up spending 900$ on the thing just to get it decent.

It's a joke. Time to get your humor chip replaced.
When figuring the simular selling point, make sure to price the hardware "extras" Apple sells you.
I ended up spending 900$ on my Mac Mini just to get it up to somewhat decent specs. I'm currently eyeing the HD upgrade.
What part of "Poor Student" didn't you understand?

Silly me, I've been reading their words and watching their actions.
