yes, they do, but you misread the parents post. he said "without" a combo drive. you are correct in what the combo refers too. the superdrive refers to dvd+/-rw/cdrw
Although, I look forward to the speedy checkout RFID would provide, I'd hate to see grocery clerks and baggers out of jobs. These jobs keep lots of people off the streets and with some money in their pockets, to feed their family or buy beer on weekends. The job market in the U.S. is down to begin with and will only get worse. We need a national system where drivers aren't allowed to pump their own gas, and perhaps aren't allowed to bag their own groceries. Let some starving man do that!
No, Debian GNU/Linux. It's perfectly fine for the name of the entire distribution to be called 'Debian.' It's not perfectly fine to call Linux just Linux when refering to the Linux kernel being bundled with a distribution of software. If you are refering to the 'Linux kernel' by itself it is ok, to refer to it as Linux.
Firefox on linux is bigger really only because it staticly links gtk2 and font support so that it can look the same on all of the distributions. If you compile it yourself (i.e. you like to do that) then it's still small and relies on the shared library versions of gtk2 and font stuff and therefore you get the same size stuff. If that made any sense let me know.
well, yeah... they can spend less money making the cds. if it takes 10 minutes to make 50 cds normally, it might take 5 minutes to make 50 cds now. however, none of these will sell, so they're really just loosing money all over.
well, the majority of people use laptops for surfing the web at coffee shops, and typing up word documents that i know of. it all depends of course on what you need. i was being sarcastic but semi serious.
Obviously there are multiple ways to create a system like this. However, with the crazy amount of buses that MTA provides and the remote subway locations, it would be nearly impossible to make sure all of these places have access to the network to check balances. The fact is, they would be stupid to do it that way since it could mean crazy revenue losses if a) main database server goes down
b) network service goes down, or maybe even ATM service or whatever
That's also not to say, that there isn't some sort of communication going on at the end of the day. Consider a turnstile issuing randomly generated 'tokens' SecurID style, which get written back. And at the end of the day, all the tokens given out are sent back to some main system for validation. Invalid tokens get sent back, and therefore "flagged" for the next day. Who knows.

But screenshots of the next version of a piece of software do absolutely nothing if it looks exactly the same!

"apparently it's more important to fight for oil"
Of course it is, people don't think about the other things (like you said).
good idea. patched.
incredible! If I wasn't extremely happy with my existing Happy Hacking I'd definatly go for one of those!
IBM model M keyboards are like tanks though. Sure, they'll last but they don't provide a small enough footprint.

and for those not using windows and winzip?
Oh and by the way, doesn't look like two G5s could fit in that either.
Have you seen the new iMacs? It really doesn't look like a G5 would fit in there and apparently it does.
Don't blame Bush. Blame how you voted in the last election (or didn't vote).
I didn't have to vote, my state didn't vote for Bush. It was Florida's fault.
i would if i had mod points, I used to love C&C.
turning on my computer this morning, i was looking at my webcam (which is phillips based) thinking of the interesting stuff i might do with it.
programmable, simple...
void changecolor(int rgb) {
int err;
int fd = open("/dev/case", O+RDWR);
if (fd >= 0) {
err = ioctl(fd, CASE_RGB_VALUE, &rgb);
}
}
good point... i never even thought of that....
