From scratch is making your own PC board, or wire-wrapping the thing.
And with these surface-mount custom glue chips, it's just not possible anymore.
It was possible to build Apple's last good computer model, the Apple ][, from scratch--the original versions had nothing but off-the-shelf TTL ICs in it. I've seen several from-scratch Apple ][s built by people from the Former Soviet Union where real Apple ][s weren't available, but Chinese TTL ICs were.
If you wanted to marry *me*, all you'd have to get me would be a new DLP projector, or a digital oscilloscope, or whatever. And you'd have fun playing with it, too!
Just remember, in the dark all warm moist holes feel alike.
For example, they failed to mention that the "Kennedy / Lincoln" coincidences were collected as a JOKE by Martin Gardner for his Dr. Matrix character to show how you can find coincidences anywhere.
It seems that the author of the article--what do women know about math anyway--didn't bother to research primary sources of her stories.
you'd probably thaw out the interesting people like Walt Disney
Unfortunately, Walt's not frozen.
The folks at Disney get a big kick out of this rumor, though. When I completed my week long employee orientation at The Walt Disney Company, the HR rep joked to us: "OK, everyone, it's time for us to kiss Walt's frozen head!"
And, for the 100 Years of Magic event in Walt Disney World (which continues 'til this fall! Better get there soon!), at every planning meeting we'd joke about selling frozen Waltsicles!

Be glad they let you use P-P at all!
- Do 1 hour volunteer work a day
- Practice the violin/piano/guitar 1 hour a day
- Read to their kids 1 hour a day
- Read a book 1 hour a day
As it is, they probably each spend 4-5 hours a day chatting with perverts, pedophiles, and pirates on IRC.Why not release the music score to the reviewer and let them review it from that?
Of course, modern pop songs probably read like the crap they are.

Right now I have two 240 GB drives and I need MORE TIVO.
Many mac zealots say "windows is really dos + a loader which is really cpm" etc, as they foam at the mouth.
But Mac os9 still has LARGE CHUNKS of the original Mac OS running in it, as 68K emulated code.
urrrrrrrrrrrggggggmmmmmm (drool) !!
If INTEL is the better source of CPUs, Apple should use them. That doesn't mean they'll be building PCs.
Intel never did anything to hurt the industry. They keep coming out with faster/better/cheaper chips each year.
How can /. endorse it? It would be like plugging Internet Explorer DHTML games, wouldn't it?
I think that any responible company would get this software to protect themselves from the Patrick Naughtons of this world.
Too bad I can't post in ALL CAPS! THAT WAY the DEAF PEOPLE can HEAR ME!
I'm going to mod you down because you're a karma whore.

Both are fat.
Both have a body odor problem.
Both made a few bucks in the computer business for a while and are now broke.

They are so full of anti-microsoft VENOM that they can't think clearly.

I can configure a system with NO OPERATING SYSTEM.
I hope the people at DELL sue /. for slander! Maybe even criminal charges: "Dude, you're getting a CELL!"
I think the not-so-smart editors of /. were fooled by a hoax "letter" that some foaming-at-the-mouth Macintosh zealot made up.
Good editors check their sources. Bad editors get a boner over every unsubstantianed news source and print it with out question.
I should start getting my computer info from the Weekly World News. It would be more accurate.
If they weren't there, I'd be tempted to break the law. It reminds me to act responsibly.

Then he stormed home and wrote that paper.

When I'm out in Silicon Valley (I'm bi-costal!) I have to pay about $3.00 for the same meal--and the BAGEL QUALITY SUCKS!
I thought I'd get a "score +10 -- FUNNY" on this! Don't you /. people have any sense of humor?
Don't worry that your TiVo will break 4 years from now for any reason other than the bearings on the HD failing.
