Better yet, think again about whether we really have a clue when it comes to mother nature. Hell, we can't even prevent acne, what makes us think we can micro manage an entire planet.
Hasn't anyone learned from history?

Hmm... Well... The biggest producers of CO2 on this planet are, well, just about everything that's alive and isn't a plant. So I suppose the grand solution would have to include total and complete annihilation.
Crazy, I know...

When you get Tiger, just select upgrade. It will update from whatever version of Mac OS X that you have straight to 10.4 keeping all your favorite settings and whatnot. All your existing applications will still be there and work just fine.
If you do the Archive and Install option. Just drag the apps you want to keep back in to the main Applications folder and use them like normal.
Better yet, create an Applications folder in your user directory and cut out the middle man. Safest of all, you should have two partitions on your system. One for Mac OS and the other for Users. This would allow you to totally reformat the system partition and reinstall without losing all your personal stuff.
Easy to do...:)

And lest we forget, Apple spends $400,000,000 a year on R&D. Am I willing to help fund that? You bet. Besides it's only $99 on Amazon [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002G71T0 ] if you pre-order.
That makes even less sense. The tracking number that I was given shows that something was shipped to Indiana and arrived (in two days) on 1/31/03.
I just got off the phone with Apple and they're telling me I'm going to have to WAIT another one or TWO days!! Which begs the question: "What did I pay the EXTRA $20 for?!" I PAID for 2-day shipping, they're offering me only 3 or 4 day shipping.
So I asked for a refund!! On the $20 that is...:P
Funny way to run a business...:(

I ordered my Powerbook 12" on 1/20/03. I just received notice via email yesterday that it has finally shipped. However, the tracking number (623557444700) shows some other thing that had already been delivered on 1/31/03 in Indiana! I live in Cali, so imagine my surprise!!
I called 1-800-MY-APPLE and plead my case. They said that ALL powerbooks that were shipped on 2/11/03 were notified with the wrong fedex numbers. Anyone else getting this? Is it just me? Gulp...
Hope it shows up Thursday!! I paid the $20 bucks for the 2-day shipping...
The only reason it has external video at all is so that you can give presentations with it (another good use of a truly portable machine), and towards that purpose, it has RCA- and S- video out. Even presentations made with the sexy new Keynote are not going to benefit from DVI.
This is directly from Apple's web site, bottom left, of the 12" Powerbook page. It CLEARLY indicates that the external is NOT just for presentations... Well, I'll let you read it:
The new 12-inch PowerBook G4 comes with built-in support for VGA, S-Video and composite video signals. And since VGA video output supports dual display mode and video mirroring, you can extend your work area and mirror your projects to an external display or projector ? perfect for presentations and for sharing your ideas. You can also display your multimedia projects on a big-screen TV, thanks to S-Video output capability: Simply connect your TV to the video output port via the included Apple video adapter, and you?re on television.

On a machine with an external monitor, where the monitor is situated above the internal monitor, and the menu bar is on the internal monitor, a Java window can not be dragged to sit above the menu bar line!!!
Holy crap!!!! Didn't they test this?!?!?!!??
I think that, in no way, should the towers-of-doom be rebuilt. In this, what can be termed, the internet-age, there really is no reason for so many people who are critical to the economic operation of our country (indeed the world), to all be placed, 25,000 at a time, in such highly targetable death-traps.
It has become abundantly clear to me that, the concept of the World Trade Center should be built, but that each of the cogs in this, a large and complex wheel, should be placed in many remote and disparate locations around the US.
Because we have the technology, there is no reason that we should ever again provide our enemies with such easily assailable targets.
Two things. First an observation, then a question, both related.
At the risk of saying what may be completely obvious, I think that, in light of this recent, deliberate and vicious attack on the WTC, it is abundantly clear that placing such critical financial workers and systems in such an easily targetable location, was less than completely prudent. I would hope that when all of this is rebuilt, and it will be, that, because we live in what can easily be called, the internet age, all of these data centers, workers and support staff will be properly placed in many disparate locations around the country. From my vantage point, it would seem that 50,000 people don't necessarily need to be so tightly packed together in such a death-trap.
Question: How are our critical financial data systems surviving this attack and how soon might we see a restoration of economic mechanisms? I welcome all speculations.
Thanks,
Andrew

Same sensationalistic garbage. This is exactly the kind of one-sided journalism I'm tired of reading.
It's interesting to note, having the dubious distinction of being the first listed on this restraining order application, the activity to my web site has taken a sharp increase. More people have downloaded the program from my server today than in the last 30 days! I suppose I have the law firm to thank for that. "Thanks!"
...of time and money! They should invest in what are emerging technologies. Provide funding for Blackdown to get Java 2 ported to Linux (it doesn't quite work, yet). Andrew
Clearly, since it has become a story item on/., that the kid has whined to enough people about the situation. A measure of a man is how he gets things done, not how he whines about it.
I too had similar problems when I was a kid, I learned way around the system. I lied about my age, whatever it took to get where I needed to be.

Ever since I started using spamcop.net my SPAM has dropped dramatically and I'm finally getting a proactive response from postmasters and the like.
Now, with that said, I believe that the domain registration info should be as public as property title is. Which, if I'm not mistaken, is just such the case now.
What has the court ordered that will be any different. I get SPAM all the time from my domain registration (especially when I make recent changes).
Bring 'em on! Like the other guy said "Spin the Pig..."
I feel strongly on both! Not only do I own a gun and exercise my right to protect my life, loved ones and property, but I also exercise my right to free speech and speak out when things are wrong!
We need to take steps to stop these rediculous politicians that are constantly trying to eat away at our constitutional rights. This country (USA) is great not because of what the government has done for us, but rather, for what we've been enabled to do for ourselves!
