    think about the bandwidth?

    I don't think bluetooth would be appropriate, I doubt it could support the volume of data required.
    you'd have to drop the refresh rate to something hideously slow.

    by some folks reading of the bill of rights, as part of the intent of the founders, was to enable the people to overthrow their government, if it no longer represents the people-- then yes, you could argue everyone in the us should be entitled access to the entire range of armaments available to the USA government

    and a second thought.. Have you ever heard of Patrick Henry? March 23, 1775 -- kinda sounds like the last half of your post, with a different emphasis....

    um,I did RTFA

    Is the complaint that (1) folks will not be able to dual boot microsoft and apple os on the same hardware? if so, boo fucking hoo, that wasn't the case before, why should it be now? just because apple is using intel chips? if consumer demand for a system that can dual boot both os's is strong enough, I think it falls to the minority manufacturer (apple) to try and snag the 'dual' buisness by providing an architecture that is compatible (ya know, kinda like when compaq overtook ibm by making the then next gen 386's without ibm).

    or is the complaint (2) that windows OS users can't use EFI? then my response (which it was tailored too) is wait, it will be supported later. ~ yes, only with new hardware.. 64bit hardware should be minimum spec for vista machines anway, new os, it's the best time to launch into 64bit..

    If I could have my druthers, 32bit cpu's wouldn't be supported under vista-- it would make for a clean break.....

    if apple wants the increased marketshare that dual booting capable machines can make, they should make it possible, either by dropping efi requirements, or adding 64bit cpus... but apple has said NO, and microsoft has said NO, neither side seems to want the capability in the marketplace.

    Apple, beacuse they want you to use their hardware, and not put their OS on other peoples hardware
    Microsoft, because they want you to use their software, and not have the experience of the other software.

    who is more in the way of progress? I'd say it's balanced..

    I set the properties of the 'large mail' folder to be show TOTAL number of items, not UNREAD items.

    this really keeps my OST file small....

    I also have folders where advertising I may want goes

    I prune it a lot more often than when it's just greyed out... but I also ignore it when I'm too busy to look.

  20. suspending to flash on Linux Support for Hybrid Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    how about 'boot state' recorder to flash.. as in, unless you install software or add hardware, your system memory at bootstate can be written to a flashchip the same size as your ram, and you can boot, or reboot, as fast as you can re-dump the chip into ram.

    add new hardware? fine, as soon as yer system is booted for real, save it to the bootchip.
