Actually, the PowerComputing website was powercc.com, and the company was based, IIRC, in Texax. The site you're providing is NOT the same PowerComputing. Your PowerComputing has, according to their website, only been in the PC market and is based in the UK.
None. The earthquake was approx 80 miles offshore from Crescent City, about 300 miles NW of San Francisco. The Tsunami warning was retracted within an hour of the quake.
It seems most are assuming that Apple will fall back on primarily being a software vendor, however I've only seen a few come to the realization that things might not be that much different than they are now. It is quite feasible that Apple will only allow Mac OS X to run on APPLE-MANUFACTURED computers. If for some reason the OS won't run w/o some proprietary code in hardware, it won't matter whether or not it's an intel chip - it won't run on anything other than what Apple sells. So, isn't that much the same (read: limited) as having it run on a PowerPC chip? Unless Apple allows the OS to run on other manufacturers' machines (which it probably WON'T, at least for a while), Linux will still continue to battle Windows just as it always has.
So what happens when you're listening to your music on your stereo (through your phone's audio player) and don't want the music to be interrupted, but still need to know when somebody is calling you? It might not be so bad if the volume is low, but what about when you have your music turned up pretty loud? Do you want some kind of obnoxious beeping or ringing that the people across the street can hear?
Regardless of who is right or wrong, consider the following double standards: Those who object to Creationist theories (Intelligent Design, other views/hypotheses, etc) being taught in schools are by large are failing to realize one key point - that those on the other side feel exactly the same way as you do. Really - for a family that believes in God and Creationism, how do you think they feel when teachers are telling their children their beliefs are all wrong and are nothing more than myths? You'd be pretty upset also, just in the same way you are upset that something other than macro evolution is/might be taught in a school. My point: why go pointing fingers when you are equally to blame?

Mod -1 flamebait, but what do you expect from a parent like that?;)
In all seriousness, it's just the way politics and big business go. I bet if this were happening right now and Kerry were in office you wouldn't be complaining about the presidency, but look how your views change when "the other party" (TM) is in office.
Actually it is unlikely that people who have been blind since birth (i.e. they were born that way and didn't develop blindness sometime later) would ever be able to see.
Numerous studies in cats have shown that "disabling" one eye during a kitten's developmental stages will pretty much render the eye useless if given the chance see again once the kitten is an adult cat. The whole idea is that if the eyes were not properly functioning during the most important developmental stages right after birth - when the brain is wiring itself to make sense out of the visual world - it will not occur in adulthood.
So I doubt some brain-computer interface will be able to give sight to somebody who has never had it to begin with. This technology will be more useful for those who already have the wiring, but lost their vision since that time.
There are services that you can pay for where the company acts as the domain contact for your domain - to maintain your privacy. I still get emails from my registrar (GoDaddy), I have no problems managing my domains, and I don't have to worry about anyone finding out where I live, nor can my registered contact email address be harvested by various spambots that go through the whois database..
If somebody needed to contact you, they can send it to webmaster@domain.ext or similar - whatever you have posted on your site.
Colorizing film by this method is not much different than what some biomedical and computer science research is very interested in: image segmentation.
Similar to how the video method tracks changes in object size and shape over some temporal resolution, image segmentation tracks shape, size, etc in some spacial resolution.

I choose windows as the most reliable and productive OS out there - it's reliable to crash often, and when I've given up on it because it keeps crashing and comes to a grinding halt from sypware and viruses, I can actually be productive get some real work done ( way from the computer of course)

I typically don't have anything wrong with Fox, but to allow them access to my personal information? I don't think so...
LOL. I love it! That's freakin' halarious!

But does it run Lin... i mean Win... i mean OS Xi?
I know - it's bad. Mod me down.
Sweet! A beowulf cluster of fans!
and more importantly, can I make a beowulf cluster of these on os x?

parent didn't say CPU. Remember - the CPU isn't the only chip in a computer. Things that come immediately to mind - networking hardware.
7) Multiple cores in multiple CPUs ..what next?

Profit!!!!!!!
Actually, you have two sevens, 8) should read: 9) Profit!!!!!!!

What does Sen. Bill Frist have to do with this?

Don't blame me, I voted for Bush!
First, Austrailia != USA
Second, blame the industry (i.e. MPAA et al.) for whining about "lost profits" due to pirated discs.
Third, G'day mate!
What's the deal? Editors running out of material to post? How is this any different than multiply posted "news" items?
... this is good news! The /. editors have finally seen the light! Cheers!
Actually come to think of it
I'll be one of the first to admit - I'm going to be one of those who will install it on April 29.
I'm especially looking forward to Dashboard, Quicktime 7, Mail, and (maybe) spotlight. The other features will also be a welcome bonus.
But we really want to know: does it run Linux?

Just my two cents.
