Are you honestly claiming that you can live anywhere in the US for $504 per month? Granted, last time I've been to the states was 8 years ago - but I highly doubt it has become that much cheaper to live there.
I know I'd like my applications to work faster and carry less crap than they do currently.
Do you also want to pay 10 times more for it and have less features (because it takes more programmer time to write it)? how about have to wait much longer and pay much more for upgrades (software is less maintainable when it is optimized for execution speed and not for readability and clarity)
the USSR did not fell because of a lack of money(think of corruption first and revival of national movments of some of the now formerly soviet republics), and even if it would have - $20 mil. per flight is not that significat to a country the size of the former Soviet Union
I was forced to upgrade from a Pentium 120MHz because Winamp was sucking 70% of the CPU while playing music. IM and web surfing was slow and the music kept pausing.
I assume you weren't running NT4 on that machine?
Probably more to do with Windows 9x's poor multitasking ability - this might happen with a P4 too, it if runs Windows 98.
I'm pretty sure I didn't have any problems playing mp3's on a Pentium 100 while browsing the web or doing other such light tasks under Red Hat 5.2 - and I assume you wouldn't have had such a problem with NT4 either.
well, being that the liquidator's equivalent of vulture shit is the stuff they spend their (earned from liquidation) money on, allegorically, there actually _isn't_ a difference.
Microsoft absorbs good ideas from multiple places... Here they are considering powerpc concepts!
As I have said many time... Microsoft is very borg-like! I use and enjoy Microsoft everyday... but their ability to "borrow" technology and ideas is slightly disturbing.
You, dear sir, are a troll. IBM is a chip manufacturer, and the fact that Apple buys their CPUs does not render all their other costumer (especially not those that are just potential costumer) as copy-cats or idea thieves.
you face the immediate problem of whether or not to provide DVI connectors, or what size monitor you want to support.
today even entry level vid cards (e.g. radeon 9200) have both DVI and analog connectors, and they can operate at resolutions high enough to 'support' all popular sizes of screens (and many unpopular ones as well)
Most Mac buyers are not switchers
It may very well be because apple has no atractive low/mid-range solution - and said healess box might be it.
A lot of monitors people have lying around to use with a headless box are pretty poor quality
other then the fact that they tend to brake up pretty quickly (2-3 years, which is less of an issue because their so cheap)
todays cheap monitors are of rather high quality (image quality, that is). I can honestly say i can barly tell the diffrence in image qulity between low end monitors and high end monitors these days... how many people use a lot more then ~1024x768 on 17" or ~1280x10?? on 19" anyway?
probebly 5% or less.
something like a modern version of the IIgs - try to see how modern you can make a computer that's still shares the apple][ spirit (can run the same code natively, have a 6502-like CPU, etc.). and then mass produce it an sell it in an affordable price.:-)~
Why the helll does an email client weight 7-11 MB? I really don't see what kind of functionality it has that requires it to be more then a few 100's of kilos big (not to say 10's of kilos).
or just use the OSS alternative

Or will Java developers have to swallow hard and submit to the whims of the dark overlord?
or they (we?) can just use the far better alternative for OO platform ind. development: Python. It's open source, it's vastly extendable, simple to use... Python has it's quirks, but IMO it's better then JAVA in just about every aspect.
check out www.python.org, and while your at it check out www.pygame.org aswell for a really nice multimedia layer for python (maybe it's just an interface to SDL or something, I'm not sure how it works, but it does a really good job)

I remember hearing exactly the same thing when vista came out.
You don't need legacy ports? Then don't use them!
I must agree with the parent - I've found it quite easy to find a job as a programmer, and so have many of my friends.
and spaces before them still ,makes my eyes bleed.
There is exactly one space after a dot or a comma - and none before it!
i.e.:
"right reasons , I do not" -->"right reasons, I do not"
$3* 40h/week *4.2 weeks/month = $504/month.

The Middle East and India are both in Asia (ok the Middle East streaches partially into north Africa, but the bulk is in Asia)
You grow up, that's why

TV shows and movies - I filled up 3 hdd (80GB + 60GB + 14GB) real quick, even with burning older stuff to DVDs.
Can never get enough space if you like video.
There is also a Doom RogueLike: http://http//chaos.magma-net.pl/doom/
I am intrigued. More information, please.

i do.
With Cricket, you don't have to. Looking silly is a built-in feature.

"Gamal" is translated in Hebrew as "Camel". Wonder what that means... Perl ref?
'Super computer' is a relative term. In 1970's (or even later) terms, most of us already have a 'personal supercomputer'

yes, it'll run it under MacOnLinux
