"Face it: sex is the driving force behind our species, so its no surprise that almost all of our cultural structures seem to largely depend on it somehow."
Amazingly, 99.9% of Slashdot community will have no dependancy upon it, whatsoever.
...and I threw it in the trash upon receiving it. I paid $120+ for my T68i, which syncs perfectly with my PowerBook's iCal and Address Book. The "free" phone doesn't have Bluetooth and feels insanely cheap compared to the T68i.
I'll keep using my T68i, and when they cut my service off, I'll demand a refund for my original phone. Then I'll take my business elsewhere.
AT&T shouldn't be forcing their customers to "upgrade" to anything. I smell a class-action lawsuit coming.
"First of all, this should very much be an example of the terrors, not of nuclear power per se, but of nuclear war. With a war-happy president, this is all the more scary."
If you're interested in that sort of thing, you shouldn't be looking at Chernobyl as an example, you should be fact-finding Nagasaki and Hiroshima. _Those_ are examples of nuclear devastation during wartime; Chernobyl was the result of an nuclear accident involving a power plant reactor meltdown. Quite a different situation.
"Of course, it had to happen. Within two weeks or so of almost every Apple purchase I've made over the past 11 years, Apple has announced a much better unit for less money."
Apple will let you "trade in" any purchases you made, if a newer model is released. I can't remember if it's for 14 days or more that the coverage applies to. I believe it's 14 days though.
Just call the Apple store if a new model is released, like tomorrow, and they can hook you up. I did just that when I purchased my 17" Studio Display (price dropped $200 3 or 4 days after my purchase, and I got my money back).
"The linked page says this so-called license applies only to commercial use."
I was this CLOSE to putting that license on my credit card too! Oh well. I guess I'll just spend my excess incoming on those poor, poor political prisoners in Nigeria.
I hear they have nearly 30 million in cash that they are unable to convert...

I own 4 of `em, and I certainly don't consider myself "rich" by any stretch of the imagination. I use my machines to make money on the side and I use the tools that will make me more productive. It might cost me more initially, but if I can complete a job faster, with the least amount of hassle, then the machines have paid for themselves.
God Dammit, how many times does it need to be said? As far as the hardware debate, yes, Macs are more expensive. Yes, the retail cost of a new Mac is more than your average clone, or build-it-yourself project, and this is not where Apple is positioned.
I purchased a Mac because I was sick and tired of "tinkering" with my computer, constantly tweaking settings, ensuring everything worked properly. I set my PowerBook up 4 months ago, and guess what... It just works. Apple can NOT provide that same advantage using cobbled-together x86 components thrown together and hope the end user experience "just works" for the average consumer.
You may be suprised to receive this email since you do not know me. I am the son of the late president of Democratic Republic Of
Zaire, President Mobutu Sese Seko, and I have an enormous penis. I presume you are aware there is a financial dispute between my family ( THE MOBUTU ) and the present penis-enlargement spammers. This is based on what they believe as bad and corrupt information on my late father's part. May his soul (and penis) rest in perfect peace. You might have heard how a lot of my father's considerable "bulk" has been frozen in Switzerland and North America.
Following the above named reasons, I am soliciting for your humble and confidential assistance to take custody of THIRTY MILLION Viagra pills, and open your gateway for me in the areas of business so I can spam half of humanity.
"According to the article, the Xserve G5s will reduce power consumption, heat production and decrease the system size by a factor of three."
It may seem like a waste to upgrade a system only four months old, but the reduced power consumption will save some dollars in the long term. By ditching the towers, they also save a boatload of space...
Where they can use some some of that extra money to purchase more nodes...
To put in all that extra space...
How many more nodes would it take to surpass number 2 on the list? Or possibly give number 1 a run for its money?

Put on some ultra-cool sunglasses like James Earl Jones wears and let your fingers do the walking.
+5 Informative - You've been canned.
That reminds me of a story... Some guy tracked down a stolen iMac using Applescript and Timbucktu.
It's actually an interesting read to see how this guy traced an iMac stolen from his sister's home.

I subscribe by same that motto also.
Of course, I usually mention in my interviews that getting layed off / being fired really hurts.
But, so does buckshot.
Haven't been laid off yet... 17 years of steady employment and counting!

Where am I? I thought this was Slashdot? Is this the internet?
How do I get back to AOL?
That would be F-16 Fighting Falcon. Of course, this is Slashdot and it wouldn't surprise me if they mistakenly called it an F-16 Elbow.
Dude, this is Slashdot.
