Seems a bit counter productive to pit Linux against Apple. These communities are far more similar, especially now, than they are different. It's best to stay united and keep technologies as compatible as possible.
Case in point: I installed Mandrake on a PC. I connected the PC to a printer which we found incompatible with Mac OS X. Once I set up the printer using CUPS on Mandrake, ZeroConf (i.e. Rendezvous) automatically shared the printer on the network, effectively making it compatible with OS X!
This kind of compatibility strengthens both sides, and validates each. Each operating system going it alone will not take either out of niche status.
Some of the best humor I've heard in recent years has come out of these discussions. These SCO forums today have made me laugh harder than the recent Robin Williams tour. That guy who's browsing at -2 Funny probably isn't living too well.
In any case, this is a historic moment, and SCO's gonna be smacked like a bloated mosquito. Too bad you're going to miss it when it happens.
Enter an agreement with the major pattern publishers to sell patterns for 50Â a pop, offer them in an iPhoto/iTunes-like browsing program, sell a translucent, USB-connected sewing machine, profit!
I use the Podium Coolpad, and it works great. I actually carry it around in my computer bag, and it's ready-to-use anytime. My Mom loves the one I got her too.
You can make the Podium Coolpad slimmer with the little "Lego" standoffs it comes with. But, depending on how much space you have in your laptop bag, you might want to opt for the traveller.
And while you could use a slim book to accomplish the same thing, it'll heat up the laptop tremendously, possibly damaging it in the process.
Apple did something very similar to this when they adapted their Applescript scripting language into an actual programming language for OS X.
I'd learned some Basic around 10 years ago and I was quite intimidated when I found that the only programming languages usable for Mac OS X were Java and Objective-C. Then Apple came out with AppleScript Studio, which finally enabled me to write real programs with a GUI interface.
I'm now coming back around to learn C and Objective-C, but it's AppleScript Studio that got me over the hump.
That polycarbonate translucent plastic would do a pretty damn good job serving as a helmet. The stuff's darned near impossible to break, and is used to make bulletproof glass.
Yeah, good ole American dollars paying for good ole American scientists.
Forget the fact that Americans are rapidly becoming the laughingstock of the international scientific community, especially in exploration. Our scientists are caught up in the more profitable biotech industry and computer science.
We'd be better off giving the money to Japan, or Russia, or China, and letting them take over these projects.
I'm surprised nobody's made a Pacman map for Quake 3 yet. It should be pretty easy.
A while back I made a Marathon 1 & 2 map of the original Pacman maze. For any Marathon fans out there, you can download it at the Marathon Hyperarchive. Look for "Pacmap".
Hmmm... Maybe this is a good excuse to learn Qed...
The decisions of many companies during the boom was, at best, misguided.
Companies are finding that the glut of IT spending left them with high-end equipment that was far too much, too soon. Now that the equipment is implemented and used, there's little reason to buy new equipment, less reason to train others on the use of said equipment, and less problems trying to shake down equipment. Therefore, a large IT staff is wasteful.
The only way to justify IT spending in the near term is either massive growth from selling new product, or switching to a more cost-efficient platform. That's it.
This does bring up an interesting point. Businesses insisting on royalties for everything under the sun are building up taxation without representation.
And force-feeding thought through control of the media is somewhat akin to forcing Americans to house soldiers. Same kind of violation.
Since violent FPS's and realistic war simulations are out of the question, how about console games?
This does split up the party a bit, but bringing a 4-player console and a party game can be pretty fun. And emulators can be all kinds of fun, all you need is a CD full of ROMs and a few gamepads.
This does bring up another point... Can't PC developers make a good FPS that doesn't involve committing gruesome acts?

There is one. It's called AppleScript Studio. It's a scripting language, but it's better than VBScript, and easier to teach.

Yeah, it's not like I'm really eager to see Arnie's butt again...
Okay... She's got the cleavage dress, now where's the cleavage?

Despite this setback, Microsoft stock climbed +12 3/16 in trading Friday.
Sorry, honey! I used the yeast instead of the Tide again!

Purchases should also have been better thought out insomuch as price/performance. Reduced market share is far better than financial ruin.
Don't worry. One day, Cartoon Network, too, shall suck. Such is the fate of all cable networks.

I like the attitude of "Kick 'em when they're down", but they're not even close to being "down" yet.
