If you want to do anything in the Graphic Design field, you gotta support the Macs, designers first choice.
Not always, normally it comes down to what sort of computer the COMPANY buys the artists to use.
Speaking from personal experience: Now that the top "big" graphics packages are supported on both x86 and Mac, the extra trouble of supporting two platforms is seen my many as not worth the pay-off.
Personally, I'd like to see the artists use whatever they feel comfortable with. Unfortunately that is not always the case.
What users are failing to realize is that you have NO RIGHTS on the Internet. If companies want to block all user agents from their sites except for MSIE 6.x on Windows XP, there isn't a thing you can do about it.
When the shoe is on the other foot, does it still fit?
Wanna bet?
Your scenario would last for about 2 days, before someone hacked Mozilla so that it appeared to be IE6.
Oh, and OS X packs a lot of bundled stuff (like the X11 server) that could be broken out. The only reason they aren't is that OS X is only distributed on CD. If it was distributed over the 'net, you can bet it would be down to 2 core CDs. Besides, OS X still has a lot more useful stuff than Fedora.
Mac OSX _is_ distributed over the 'net.
Try eMule.
You could be right, however an EMP would generally only destroy sensitive electronic equipment.
Power supplies are (at this point in time) more robust than the components soldered to our motherboards.
Who knows what 50 more years of computer development will bring.
It's all speculation of course. But I do not think it is unwise to look at capabilities for dealing with enemies that don't 'exist' yet.
While that is true, in 50 years, as you said, computer technology may no longer (and probably will not) be based around minute electrical signals. By then we could be using optical technology or chemical technology, thereby rendering these weapons obsolete.
Libranet also costs money. So I guess its a trade-off: the money you will pay to download the Libranet ISO images VS the time it will take to learn the ins and outs of installing Debian.
Basically, comptuers are getting too fast. Untill someone comes up with the next absolutly killer app that requires tons of horsepower, I think that we'll see computer sales and replacements stay low (except for CAD, video editing, and other horsepower intensive stuff).
"In the last six months, we've probably tracked about $1.5 million," Inspector Thommeny told reporters in Sydney.
So basically, that is all they've actually got him for.
He is supposed to have homes in London, a couple in Sydney, and one in country NSW.
They will never be able to unravel it all, unless he outright fesses up.

Dude, when are you in that big a hurry and NOT on the way to a fire already?
When I'm GETTING AWAY from a fire!
What "argument"?
It was a joke, you humourless fuckwit.
But I just checked, and Mac OSX ISO images are available on eMule.

I'd rather feel guilty than broke.

Your answer here is more enjoyable than the film! That pretty much sums up this dreadful state of affairs.
I think I might burn my DVD of Reloaded and pretend that the two sequels never happened,
Yeah dude, burn a copy for me too.

Maybe we'll start seeing actors eating a LOT of tomatoes in TV and movies.

Don't worry, Longhorn is in the pipeline. Honest!
What a naive little punk you are. People buy stock to make money, not to "show support". You have NO CLUE how the world works.
Then maybe "showing support", by protecting them from a hostile take-over will change
the world in some small way.

Send me AUD$50 and I'll hit him for you...
honest!
I wonder what sort of panic would ensue if someone were to do a similar broadcast now?
If you broadcast it on FoxNews, I'm sure you'd catch quite a few people.
As an Australian, I watch FoxNews for the comedy value.
O'Reilly is much, much funnier than Letterman these days.
Then isn't it about time for some payback?
I am sick of living on a planet so full of peaace lovers.
Researchers at Saint Louis University have engineered a strain of mouse-pox virus which kills 100% of animals it infects
Keep testing, mother nature will come up with an animal that is resistant.
Does it include any quality control systems for manufacturing?
Let's just call ourselves "developers" or something be done with it. It sure would help with the marketing of OSS.
"Developers, developers, developers, developers!"
Dude, I DON'T think so.
The caffeine molecule, a substance that permeates hacker culture.
It even symbolises some of the humour that hackers are known for.

That, and go on to receive government grants and get paid to study equally worthless "research" like how fast ketchup flows.

Napoleon was a short-arse.
He seemed to do OK for himself.
As an RBC customer, this makes me sad. I think I might complain.
Closing your accounts would be the loudest complaint you could make.
