...will the patch be released to deal with this issue? And then the follow up patch that introduces three other bugs? And then the patch to patch the sub bugs? And then the patch that actually fixes what the first patch was supposed to fix, followed by more awkward class nerfing.

True. I should've been clear about that distinction. WWDC always leads to announcements for products that 'ship four to six weeks out.' Steve has a knack for making us wait for the newest and shiniest.
Introduction of the Core 2 Duo to the iNtel Mac lineup;
Conroe will be featured in the iMac and the new PowerMac; Quad capability may or may not be present...
Merom will be featured in the MacMini, the MacBook, and the MacBook Pro [evidence of meromac]
Woodcrest MAY be present in the next revision of the XServe and XServe RAID
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Point releases are traditionally announced at WWDC.
Point releases usually accompany upgrades.
Conroe, Merom, and Woodcrest bring x86_64 (EM64T) support, 10.5 should take advantage of it fully.
A bigger shift to the iMac line.
A shift to the iPod nano line (they've been killing off stock by giving the freaking things away with new Mac purchases).
Something less useless than the iPod Hi-Fi.
Everything else is gravy. Don't count on an iPhone, Apple's not ready for that market. I think Motorola may be on hand to announce a sister to the ROKR and SLVR, something akin to the RAZR with a better capacity. And it will synch with iTunes via Bluetooth. We may also see a Bluetooth-enabled iPod. Stock TV Tuner support for the Mac Mini would also be expected, as would SLi/Crossfire for the MacPro.
Most mail servers use a RAID configuration to store data. I've successfully recovered data from single hard disks that had indeed caught fire, but never have I attempted (or read documentation on) recovering data that's been striped/mirrored across eight disks.
Criminal records in the US can also be queried by schools (private [?] higher education). Doing so almost prevented my entrance to college, until some bright spot pointed out that I was never actually convicted of any crime.
To expand on that, one of my high school friends was picked up for computer crime, and he dropped my name. The FBI then frequented my house and kitchen table (for me or the coffee, I'm not sure) more than once following that incident. They never could prove anything, nor did they have anything on me. Conversation always started with 'What's a computer?'
To extend that, since when was playing with two other children, building a tree fort, anti-social? That seems to promote teamwork and cooperation if you ask me, which most certainly require social interaction.
Yes, I am. Though you do have a point. In the case of an FPS, give me a keyboard and a mouse any day of the week. Same goes for World of Warcraft, though I'm considering remapping just to see how it does.
My hangup was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I found the keyboard to be awkward, and unwieldy. The necessary keys were too far away from my fingers to affect their functions quickly enough (or, perhaps as my old piano teacher - Mrs. Mellenger used to say - 'Stupid Fingers!'). I'm sure that the fact that my development in GTA being done with a console controller has a lot to do with it.
Enter the 360 controller. I've found it to be MUCH more usable. By leaps and effing bounds. Oblivion, as well, as it suffered the same problem as GTA3; unwieldy. Call of Duty 2, and Rainbow Six both still get the Keyboard and Mouse treatment - I feel that reaction times are critical, and I can pop off a triple-tap a lot faster with the mouse than I can with a joystick; the movement is just more intuitive.
Hey, if you've got evidence to the contrary, then by all means. I'm more than interested to know which manufactuers you've gotten to play nice together.
So far, Biostar's nForce chipset series (their 6100 series) doesn't seem to like ATi cards made by MSI.
Instead of spending 600$ on a new console and maybe two games, I dropped half that on a new video card and an Xbox360 controller for my PC. Now I can play the same exact (decent) games, with the same exact controls, on a machine that doesn't overheat. Best decision ever.
The wired 360 controller is just another USB HID device; as soon as I plugged it in, XP was like 'Hey! You've got a controller. Let me check windowsupdate for the driver! Hey! Even better! It's an Xbox360 controller! Here's the driver. Dot dot dot. Enjoy!' And off I went.
Please tell me that the machines that had 'lost Windows installs' were lab machines that are properly maintained. Please tell me that the school did not ask you to do this type of homework on your own student workstation.
Had it been my school, my professors, I would've told them to go piss up a rope in that case.
Yeah, but Intel's bread and butter isn't there ass-stompingly good integrated graphics chipsets. Intel's drive for GPUs is providing a low-cost alternative for manufactuers who just want to put a pretty picture on the screen, while also giving them the ability to own pretty much the whole board.
That being said, ever seen what happens when you try to run an ATi card on an nForce chipset? Yeah, it sounds like a bad idea from the get-go, but I've seen people try it.
Oh, you mean this? Yeah, we heard. It bothers me. I've always run AMD + nVidia; yeah, it's a slight bit of fanboyism, but it's nice to know that I can jump between linux and Windows without a great deal of hassle on a single box. Can't really say that about ATi, I've never had anything but trouble with their graphics units and Linux support - but that's a long dead argument.
Hardcore AMD fan right here. Been using their chips for years. Intel's new stock does interest me, and I do plan on paying out some hard earned cash to them for a device that has an 'Intel Inside', but when it comes down to building a machine myself, for myself or someone else, it's going to be run by an AMD engine, unless Intel can really, really wow me.
AMD always seems to edge out superior performance, and last just a little bit longer than it's Intel bretheren. Plus, the 64-bit support was there when I could afford it, and wanted to play with it.

I was hoping for +1 Funny. I expected -1, Troll. I don't get it.
Well, that explains everything...
Boobs are a myth. They don't actually exist.

I think they may need some time to scrape the gunk out of the tubes, first.

I do believe I would have to put down the psychotropic drugs at that point.

If you had to commit ritual sacrifice of several religious zealots in order to pay for your Terraserver, then you may have spent too much on it.
Maybe they don't have a problem following instructions.

Just putting it out there.
What the hell else would gamers buy the systems for? Show and freaking tell?

And fail. Spectacularly.

Thank you for being open minded. I really appreciate that.
Have a blessed day.
