Apple said that their OS X will not run on any x86 but only Apple hardware. Unless you want to hack this thing against whatever DRM or BIOS they install, you only got limited non-Mac choices of OS.
I wouldn't worry so much about it. This will be at least 2 years in the transition, and Apple is pushing the "Universal Binaries" that will run on either (I imagine its a FAT binary).
Upgrading shouldn't be a worry for people. Mac users on the forums already talked about how they're buying a new G5 next week. As part of the transition, Apple will sell PPCs for about 2 more years, and support them for years to come. All existing apps run on the current G5, and all developers will code for the G5 and Intel at least until Apple stops making G5's in 2 years.
If you remember, 68k Macs didn't go extinct for years. Apple released MacOS updates years after they axed the 68k line, and you could still find a couple of 68k applications up until OS X. I think some apps like iCab even run on 68k today. Lowendmac.com still has lots of advice for running 68k Macs, even installing mklinux on them.
Don't believe that rumor. And don't use it as an excuse to give up. Seriously, try 10.4, it's got some amazing under-the-hood improvements, like a much more refined kernel and XCode2.
Can you tell me how OS X kernel extensions are somehow inferior to having to recompile a linux kernel for driver updates?
Wanna have a throwdown and you try to tell me that/etc/rc shell scripts are better than XML-based launchd (like SMF in Solaris 10)?
Does linux have fine-grained locking in its kernel? Does linux have or support Access Control Lists? How does Linux file-type; MIME or filename extensions, with their weaknesses? OS X Tiger supports both, along with Classic type and creator codes, and the new Uniform Type Identifiers.
Videoconferencing between a Mac to Mac that "just works" has been possible with iChat for some time now. iChat even works with AIM videoconferencing, so Mac users can chat to Windows AOL users.
Only one, but arguably the most important. The Socratic method is an integral part of law school, and the Socratic method applied to philosophy is a must for any philosophy or political thought class. Poli-Sci goes into it at the beginning, considering it a vital base to which many later ideas and philosophies derived.
Socrates' method of undoing absolutes in the minds of the students is a piece of Western thought.
Socrates, one of the philosophers that Western thought is supposedly based on, ranked democracy as the second worst form of government, feeling that the people were far too easily swayed and ignorant and bribable, eventually leading the way for a dictatorship to emerge. He liked oligarchys more, and a plutocracy the most.
With the cold fingers, I thought the Hawthorne effect would have applied here. That's when worker productivity increases when you change a variable and point it out. Raising or lowering the temperature should increase productivity if they notice it.
Yeah, I got my own two fingers to do the job just as fine.
There is a limit at some point, they can't prevent me from bruising another passenger, nor can they handcuff any karate experts for the flight, and they're probably not going to let me in the cockpit if I put a passenger in a headlock.
Thought about it, but since the US is being so aggressive internationally, invading countries and threatening others, and extending its copyright laws to other countries, we don't seem very safe. I guess the best option is to stay here and vote such idiocy out, because people in other countries can't.
If I had two lighters, I could light one and then blow out an airline window.
Just because you have cigarettes with a lighter doesn't mean much. I could buy some cigarettes and stow them conspicuously to make you think I smoked, just so I could bring two lighters with me.
Oh, and smoking leads to a painful, cancerous death.
Who says they're in favor of removing all security? Isn't the security we have to go through enough? Has there been a hijacking since the TSA beefed up security?
I would never allow this to work. I don't think most people will either. Most women aren't going to consent to this. It's against my religion for strangers to see me nude, that goes for both men and women. I'd rather a pat-down (and avoid the groin) than a scan under clothes.
You don't find this X-Rated? You must have been desensitized then. Plenty of non-Americans will find this appalling.
Ice is a myth. There was an episode of Mythbusters where they tried to make ice bullets, but they were just too brittle. They couldn't even load them into a gun before they cracked into pieces.
There was this old joke "I saw a guy on the street who hadn't had a bite for days. So I bit him." This.sig is merely a humorous retelling of it, with a twist.
Cheney getting off the hook is evidence AGAINST a just God? What are you, impatient? Respite is the key word, my friend. For anyone, they are given all the time in the world, if they want, they just pile themselves in deeper, and when Judgement Day comes and the paradise and hellfire are visible in front of us, it will be too late to change course.

pusher robots eh? Say, does your house have stairs?

Then again, it would run Darwin.
iPod and Palm syncing too!
hear hear. I can even publish it to web, and sync it to my other Macs and Palm, and let others subscribe to it in their iCals.

Go read John Siracusa's review and analysis of Tiger.
As a man in an orange Bandicoot suit once said, "Booya, Grandma! Booya!"
How could they get it to bounce? What was its purpose?

Just a thought.
Missiles WILL be brought down by high-powered lasers, they haven't really succeeded yet, and not when its cloudy and raining, and other factors.
My fingernails are pretty sharp, if I file them properly beforehand...

of course. I say we all sue them. What if the radiation makes me sterile?

I think it's funny. The punch-line is so unexpected, which is why I find it amusing.

AFAIK, not all the iPods have the processing power to decode Ogg.

America no longer makes TVs. The last American company, Zenith, was bought out decades ago by some Korean firm I think.
