Apple realy does sell things, and these G5 things to boot. They're making money at it so why should they lower the price? You don't tell high end car makers to lower the price just because you can get a car that drives on all the roads just fine for a fraction of their price, do you?
People are willing to pay for quality and reliability and even the name. So let them.
I'd be willing to buy a new Porche if they'd only lower the price.
Well, then this artificial film can play to an artificial audience in an artificial theater and receive artificial Oscars at an artificial award ceremony.
If they want a real audience I'll gladly pay with artificial money.
Don't let them wake up... they'll just approve more of these inane patents faster! They do less damage when they are a sleep and take 15 years to finally approve a patent.
Is it too late to patent a process for heating one or more large planetary objects by using a large ball of hydrogen that is actively engaging in nuclear fusion to produce heat and light?

My (non) legal argument. They are not the same words therfore no case.
besides, can't the family even get it right about who invented the word?
the vehicles do get better gas mileage than standard automobiles
Um, well that depends on the car. I drive a '97 Chevy Malibu with a 3.1L V6. I get 30 to 33 MPG while on the highway with no problem. Yeah, it beats my in city driving, but I only drive 10 miles to work anyways.
Where do you get your scientific facts - the back of a cereal box? You only provide unproven claims to support your elitist attitude and position. I can provide you with facts and data that prove your wrong, but people like you never care about the truth. You only care about what makes you feel good.
They do not require paving over the oxygen generating plants. Then stay of the damn roads so I can drive to work. Or, maybe I should just drive my Hummer off road all the way to work. Now that's sounds enjoyable!
They do not send thousands to the hospitals every day.
Um, WRONG! According to the American Academy of Family Physicians Bicycle-related injuries account for approximately 900 deaths, 23,000 hospital admissions, 580,000 emergency department visits and more than 1.2 million physician visits per year in the United States Do the Math - 580,000 / 365 = 1589 people per day in the ER because of bicycle related injuries. And only 12% are do to accidents with cars.
Drunk driving isn't an issue. I've ridden drunk - you can't tell me there is no issue with this. Picture this, a drunken guy on bike riding down wrong side of street meets a truck head on. Yep, no problem, for the truck anyway.
They are healthy and enjoyable.
Healthy? See my point above, and I must say I do love getting mud and water sprayed on me and rocks in my face and the rain is just a real pleasure and the f*cking snow and ice are a real blast. Oh, and getting run off the road is real fun too.
I quit riding my bike every day the moment I bought my first car!!!
Former bike to work/college and grocery store guy. The only time you find me on two wheels is on my motorcycle. (And it still sucks to ride in the rain).
If other countries wern't so hostile in the first place there would be no need for us to build such a system. The only waste of money would be to build this if we had no enimies.
Actually no, the nukes are destroyed but not detonated. The nuclear fallout is very minimal and may very well be a few large chunks of radio-active materal.
they could have used the money to tackle the underlying social problems that cause the "bad men" to be mad at us in the first place
So your going to kill all non-Muslims with that money? That's all the diaper heads care about. They got oil drums full of our money. They're still mad at us simply because we live.
Disclaimer: Yes, I know not all Muslims are bad people and want to kill us, just the nut job radicals with their diapers on to tight. So blow it our your a**.
Fine, thats how it should work. I just don't want cops to be able to show up (without cause or warrent) and plug into my car and issue a ticket because they found I went over the speed limit yeasterday. This assumes that the data recorder was expanded to remember a greater amout of data. It could happen. I can see wacko groups (ie.MADD) calling for laws to mandate that the recorder hold a day, week, or months worth of data.
Every should assume their new cars can record their driving habits, but the justice system should be required to get a search warrent to get access to that black box. This means the need to show probable cause that says the need to get access to the box. And just being in an accident is not probable cause. They should need to show evidence that you were in fact in violation of some law and that the black box could provide the proof of that violation.
I am not a lawyer, I just watch people that pretend to be lawyers on TV.
Fact: San Fran = Paris (Smelly and dirty and not like the rest of the country)
Fact: Small town USA = Small town Euro (Quiet ususally friendly and a stable)
Fact: High Taxes = Oppression (Thats why we left the European countries and became Americans in the first place. And many more are still coming to America)
I'll take the USA anyday, lower taxes and more 'I'll do it myself' attitudes.
The USA is NOT PERFECT. It never was, it never will be. All we can hope to do is keep trying till we get it right. To quite trying is to fail.
Hmmm...Maybe IBM should just buy SCO and Novel. This way, no mater which company is determined to have the rights to the IP code in question, IBM will own it all. Problem solved.
One man with lots of money can buy whatever he wants, even if he just wants to destroy it.
I wanna lay suspended about 5 feet off the floor while the BASS is at FULL volume, no treble, no midrange, just BASS. I don't wanna hear a thing, just feel it baby.
This is no different that suing a phone book because it listed a phone number that once dialed cantains a recorded message saying your a 'lying, litigious schmuck'. You can't, or should be allowed to, sue the index of the content. The creator of the content should be the target of your/his complaint.
Some people would sue if they ordered HOT coffee and got burn when they spilled it in there lap claiming they were not warned it was HOT.

QWEST has already been offering DSL seperate from their phone service and did so with out a court order.
I'm not cheering for QWEST, just pointing out the facts.

They should also aquire Apple since Apple has been dying longer than any other company. With the three combined the company would be immortal.

Well, actually it was the high taxes that kept going up combined with no representaion.
Fine, thats how it should work.

Inspect they can (maybe), but can the black box be introduced into a court room with out a warrent? This is upto judges and lawyers.
I saw that on TV too...

I can sure use more memory and a math co-processor. Oh, and a built in spell checker.
I want my brain to be powered by Dual G5's or may some old Dec Aplha cpu's. Yeah !!!
