thanks for taking my comment seriously. it is a pity to have this topic at all. Stephen Jay Gould once attended a conference in rome, and was in the same hotel/conference center as a group of Catholic scientists attending a Vatican's conference. One of the scientists=priest approached him to ask about details about this "creationist" movement in the U.S., he had heard about. SJG answered: "don't worry; that is a purely American thing." (my quote etc. from memory)
Unfortunately, there are too many "news" about it nowadays, apparently more than at the time of this incident ('80s?).
why is this in the "science", and not in the "politics" section? at least with the toxoplasma story http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/02/1 2/0738233 , there was a double mark that made sense (sci-fi)... though it was more for the funnies...
Darwin "theory" articles are not funny; they just make the U.S. look odd.
well, europe is a bit ahead with DVB-H... but this still follows the paradigm of network (in the sense of tv-station) provided programs. this will work out, and very successfully for DVB-H.
but the point is, that apple is not interested in this market. they enable a "new" concept large-scale: user-selected, on-demand media. and i like it, and won't wait for a show/song/news again. and i don't consume too much of it, but i get what i want, when i want, and pay then. well, i personally couldn't care less about real-time news (e.g. sports)...
as happened with the ipod radio remote, apple even may offer old-time interfaces - but mostly will let 3rd parties do that. but they definitely won't build a DVB-H receiver in an ipod.
i am pretty sure that tv support in any form, directly through apple, is as dead as floppies. it just doesn't fit the disdain for some outdated technologies; and tv on computers always has been an add-on (or -in).
to use the content, and make it available in a computer/internet-based wa - that is apple. being a bit early sometimes doesn't pay; but sometimes it pays big...
btw.: i haven't used the tv-thingy for 10 years or so; but i download some shows from itms, and watch podcasts of the german tv news. so maybe i am the customer apple envisions (won't watch video on an i-thingy, though). have bought much more music since itms, also.
all the new 15 and 17in powerbooks have duallink; so works with both apple and dell.
but even with some small difference in price ($100-300 is small as fraction of the total), i definitely would prefer the apple. 30in monster with black plastic frame and dell logo? and with apple, i know about their rather helpful policy if problems appear.
1. imacs can mirror to another display (vga; dvi only with vga=>dvi box) 2. screen spanning doctor http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html enables , well, screen spanning on imacs and ibooks 3. dvd player can be set to disable the other display while playing movies 4. front row patches have been available for a while, so you can run it on most newer macs. a guy even has put a mac mini in his (off all cars) f150, complete with front row etc: http://www.leftlanenews.com/?p=818
i personally use a mac mini without display, controlled via VNC (built into OS X 10.4) and a sanyo plv-z2.
but why call it a theory? theory sounds unproven; which it isn't. you can observe it every day on a small scale, and infere it on much larger ones.
it is not about which millenium you declare as ape => man transition, or what importance cataclysmic events vs. staedy changes have.
and anyway, it is not one "theory" (think "string theory" etc., which does not have experimental evidence but may be in concordance with/may be an explanation of physical phenomena) but just a basic principle of life you see on a daily basis (just get a bad infection and see the antibiotics losing power;-( ).
so, it is not just ipod (which may drive mac sales, though).
btw.: anyone thinking apple is expensive just should have a look at the "sale" section on their site. i just bough an 2GHz/17" widescreen/160GB/512MB/DL DVD-RW for $949. I assume it will be no "refurbished" unit, but just a retail channel clean up...
You haven't seen one of the microsoft advertisements lately, have you? like the child in the sweater, dreaming in amazing windows, or the chef etc. As bad as it gets. They don't care about anything but brand recognition; if you recognize MS by telling hilarious stuff and being completely wacky, that is fine - you accept the mightyness of the money bying all the bad ads. Actually, this is in accordance with the old branding scheme: better stupid ads than none.
this is an intriguing concept. i never understood the temperature in climatized us buildings (hot in winter, freezing in summer); but my gues is that it reflects a kind of transmogrified wild west mentality ("we conquer nature!").
but then there is this correlation between sperm viability and temperature of the gonads... and the high birth rate in the south... wink, wink?
i only checked desperate housewifes; while it is 23x1.99, the whole season sells for 34.95. and the differennce is: i have no tv, but i would like to check out some episodes before buying a season (or going to the library); or just getting one occasionally via itunes. don't care about the video ipod; always have a laptop while traveling. but that soesn't matter; i still may get one, just because it is thinner and has a nice screen.
well, german genius. do i have to remind slashdot of the other great evil german scientist of this century - prof. Krassman? "do you think we sleep in duesseldorf? do you think we take a nap at cologne? we work..." and "if i can inflict some pain, i sleep well at night"
apologies to mel brooks and the muppet crowd for errors...
AFAIK, it remembers bought tracks. probably, itunes checks some meta information on your computer, so that you are warned if you try to buy again (i haven't really tried out to differentiate how this is handled, but i know the warnings...).
> The iPod will get rid of viruses, even on windows!!
to a certain point, all of your prediction-predictions may come up. but nobody would really predict the last prediction, if i may predict so.
a) stupid site programming, so that really nothing but IE6 works or b) stupid testing; other browsers would work just fine, but they don't want to know
this is a 90% solution. fits into the picture, like to be happy that 90% (or whatever number) of the NO populace made it onto dry ground.
apparently, not only the chain of command at the FEMA and above should be fired, but their developers, too.
maybe he should go back to teaching? Kansas would be the place to start; it intends to give time to the teaching of different theories - like (un)intelligent design...

currently 50kg (as read in www.spiegel.de). looks nice, but doesn't really work with hybrids: so either/or.

well, as you said, you didn't RTFA. so no /. heresy, but in accordance with poster guidelines.
btw.: it is not about what is taught (e.g. noodly appendages etc.); but wher (that is, not comp. rel., but biolgy).
... al dente!
maybe not as numerous as dell, but better and better:
v =14

well, you can rip as one track in itunes, and add chapters: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050 81423571277&query=gapless
though i agree, that one should be able to select the play options during import or any time after.

... to AtomChip? That's why Steve Jobs canceled the keynote in Paris!
I want one!
maybe apple using switching the mac main processors from powerpc to some intel breed? though, this is even more unlikely, i think.
maybe he should go back to teaching? Kansas would be the place to start; it intends to give time to the teaching of different theories - like (un)intelligent design ...

may you be touched by his noodly appendage
I think, here we find living proof that "Intelligent Design" is just a really weird idea...
thanks.
