The difference between Tracfone and Virgin is that Virgin's home network is Sprint, and if you're not in range of a Sprint tower it won't work (or so I'm told).
There's this amazing thing called "roaming" which allows Virgin phones to use other networks (at no extra charge).
Through in a 30" Cinema Display and a Mac Mini and you have an all-Apple digital hub
A minor wrinkle being that a mini can't drive the 30" display. For that you need the Radeon 9650 which is only available in the PowerMac tower.
A 23" display would be good to go, though!
This is probably counting both employees in a Sun office and those dialing in from home. In the office, I'd guess 99% are using Solaris. At home, it's more heterogeneous.
What I'd be curious to see is if there is more Mac or Linux use at Sun homes than the population at large.
Slashdot Mirror
From what I've heard, Apple is letting the publisher set the price. They're not fixing anything.
every mac since the iMac debuted has shipped with firewire ports on it
Wrong. The original iMacs just had 2 USB ports. Firewire didn't appear until the iMac DV/SE.

The Apple update service is annoying as well. Why a separate service?
Because that's the way it's done on Mac OS X -- the system handles checking for updates, not individual apps.
The US switched to clean diesel this last October. We will be seeing more European diesels in the US in the next couple years.
they will be driven to pirate downloads as a matter of survival
Because we all need HD movies to survive.
The only difference is that Nintendo managed their launch a lot better with greater supply, lower price tag, and a wider variety of cool games.
Wow, is that all? This Sony bashing is indeed unjustified.
It was lost in about 100 AD when the Church started killing those who didn't agree with the viewpoints of those in power
Wow, quite an accomplishment given that "the Church" didn't have any power in 100 AD. It wasn't even legalized until 313 AD.
There is better footage at the local Fox station.

Java Desktop is *not* Linux. It runs on Solaris (x86 & Sparc) as well.

The idea may be BS, but it's true. On consumer CD copiers you cannot use standard data CD-Rs. You have to buy special marked-up versions.
