"An initial diagnostics call, for example, could run $99. Cleanup jobs usually run one to two hours, and some franchisees say they charge between $149 and $165 for one hour and $265 to $275 for two hours."
Which is what leads to people spend 300 or 400 bucks on an entirely new machine...
I signed up for Blockbuster Online only to discover that A) I don't rent enough for it to be a good deal...
Don't forget that you get the two free instore game/video rental coupons a month. When you consider that games rent for $6.99 each, think of it as paying for the game rentals and getting the month of video rentals (12-15 a month) for free...
No worries. It's just that someone mentions that you can't get OS X by itself, or that Apple doesn't sell "just the OS" in every one of these OS X/x86 articles that/. has posted every day for the past two weeks. The point (which you correctly made) still stands that the boxed version will be useless to anyone who doesn't have an Apple machine (PPC or x86 when they arrive).
For the millionth time: Apple will not sell OS X separately, and OS X will not run on non-Apple hardware.
And for the millionth time, Apple does sell OS X separately. It's just that, as you say, it does you no good unless you have Apple hardware to run it on...
Admittedly, I haven't read much on terraforming another planet/body, but something that's always gets stuck in my mind is the issue of timescales. What sort of timescales are we talking about when we talk of terraforming Mars? And once we have terraformed it how long do we wait to make sure the environment has stabilized?
Well, for starters, they'd end up losing a lot of the cool little hardware tricks that make a Mac a Mac. FireWire disk mode is the one that comes to mind right away...
If this goes on much longer it will be a simple matter to apply the "T" label to anyone for any reason at all under the strictest secrecy possible and they won't even have to tell you about it until it's too late.
I believe that's the whole point of this supposed "war on terra."
Correct me if I'm wrong (which I very well may be), but wasn't Microsofts big selling point to developers the fact that the original Xbox used DirectX, so development would be easy?
One of the unique things about the V500 is its scroll panel, and this is the very first mouse to actually use this concept.
Kensington's been making a mouse with a touch panel in place of a scroll wheel for well over 2 years now. Admittedly it only does the up/down thing (no side to side action). Either way, 70 bucks is still way too much for a mouse of any kind as far as I'm concerned...

Outfoxed is my masters thesis project about trust.
I'll show you what I know about trust by not installing your spyware extension!
Kidding aside, sounds like an interesting project. Even though I won't be taking part, I wish you the best of luck with it...
Cool! Then we'll all be able to communicate with Ponch and John...
I'm on a college campus, so if I walk down the street, I can see almost dozens of seperate wireless networks
Does one of those happen to be called "linksys"?

This will probably kill the development of Linux on PPC...
I'll send a memo to IBM to tell them to cancel their plans.

Does it come as a surprise to you that people that have access to routers can sniff your packets?

The article says people asked to become moderators but Yahoo never responded.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd be a little wary of someone who asked to be a mod in a "young girls for older guys" chatroom...
Of course, Slashdot moderation being what it is, the parent will probably end up with a +5 moderation, and then what do you do?
That's an easy one. You take his advice and ignore what he told you to do...

I don't know what you're talking about. I tried it on my iPod and it sounded as good as anything else I've recorded in my studio apartment...
Ummmm, 2800?
Lewer? That must be some Mon Calamari word with which I am not familiar...
Anyone know what the backdoor is? And no pictures of goatse please!
The point remains that you're stating as fact something of which you clearly and admittedly know nothing about? Way to go!

I'm looking forward to having to explain why I have a CD labeled "Manlyca" laying around...
Great, just what we need -- more mice...
You can ctrl-left click a link for the same effect. Not as handy, but it's an option...
My first machine was a whopping 60MHz. And 2grand for it did hurt...
