I think the point is that the installer should have figured out that this was a problem and taken care of it without a clean install--but it didn't. As far as my first computer with a DVD-player installed, it was the Intel I just bought, the DVD player on the older computer was external.
I'm just looking in my original text for where I said Apples is perfect... not finding it...
I think the point is that they know how to write an upgrade in place, but do miss some little things if given enough time to mess up. The OP suggested that this was not the case for MS.
Also, IMHO, if an app crashes, that is the app developers fault, if it manages to take down the OS...that is the OS developers fault.
I have upgraded from Mac OS 9.0, to 9.1, to 9.2, to OS X 10.1, to 10.2, to 10.3, to 10.4. I then bought a new Intel mac computer and did a install on top of the PPC install by first using Apple's migration tool and then the install tool (their selected order). It was only at that time that I had to do a clean install, and the reason is that DVD player was never installed at any point along the way (DVDs weren't really something that computers were expected to play out of the box in 2000 when I bought the first mac). But other than that, everything worked great, I used the computer for several weeks before I tried to play a DVD and discovered the problem. Even then, no format step, it just did a clean install and then moved all my files back into place.
He appeared to be saying that an Apple wouldn't boot without a monitor attached without disabling something, I've never known them to complain about that.
So Microsoft expects hardware manufactures to build new hardware to run their OS. Other OS makers either design the two in concert (most Unix) or design an OS for existing computers (most Linux).
I would actually expect more security problems on both sides! There is both a new server on the client and a new client on the server. Each will take some time to secure and inevitably open up vulnerabilities.
So electricity prices rose 8% last year (look at the numbers in the bottom right for grand means) and if there is just 2% additional inflation, they will call it off, ha! it has also been up by about 10% each year recently, see the table labeled, "Current and Historical Monthly Retail Sales, Revenues and Average Revenue per Kilowatthour by State and by Sector (Form EIA-826)."
However, the linked article suggests that targets will be very easy to meet and that the cost will not change much. This is really great news for conservationist because it means that we can set total pollution targets and meet them at very low cost.
Uh, it is not really that crazy. He has a hack that changes how the site displays and now he is pissed that some other change made in slashcode broke his hack. All of what he describes (except the hacked missing blue and grey bars) works for me with the following steps: (1) use completely vanilla FF.
uh at 36 db according to zdnet, or about whisper level of noise. But the real problem here is that SCSI costs a ton for the interface, nothing like SATA, that is where the cost is.
I agree with you that this is overreaching, but what do you have against copyright? Why would a content creator make content if they can't make money off of it?
it is true that sugar cane is much better to make ethanol with--problem: it doesn't grow with good yields in the US.
Ideally, we could get the grasses that naturally grow in the plains to make ethanol because they are well adapted to the plains (millions of years of genetics work), and grow very efficiently with minimal intervention.
In a completely unregulated framework one could just start a C corp. with nothing in it, give it the reactor, and then mess up everything indiscriminately.
I have read superfund documents where a single person probably earning a typical salary caused far, far more damage than their lifetime salary (like tens of millions). You also have to realize, the legal system is extremely costly, we are better off just keeping things out of it except when they are very important.
your assumption that this was the only method of getting information from the reactor is incorrect. The computer was there to add an additional layer of protection. Perhaps you RTFA which strongly implies this, but it is just false. There would be now way to operate (i.e. turn on or adjust) such a reactor with just a line printer.
Yeah, so that is a great idea until the virus pwns that sector. Oh wait, this is basically what this is. The point is any resource can go to work for the other side.
I have harmony lightwiz lights, and I like them a lot. but I have to admit they go out so rarely that the last time I bought them was probably 3 years ago. I buy them on the internets, so the store is as near to you as it is to me.
I tried to replace them with whatever from the local store and I am definately not switching because of the "warm up" issue that I have with these new lights.

I'd like to see that happen. Seriously, that is even worse than anything I've seen from taco.
Exactly, why do we are about OLPC. Is there any evidence it is not just a waste of resources?
So could you use this with mysqlfs to do backups?

Since when does any Apple do a video port check?

here is a question: if the computer has shell accounts for untrusted users, what admin is using a kb attached to that machine when users can log in?
This process is called "arbitrage" and many many people do make a living doing exactly that.
uh, go to google and type "world of warcraft purchase gold" how different is this?

AT&T has a profit margin of 10%. If you think that is insanely high... I'd rather not be in business with you.

I'm going to need to see the details and conversion factors for how you converted "the amount of electricity used by a 60 watt bulb" to watts.

How is this not just cheap to manufacture sapphire?
