Apple doesn't get along with the Joneses. Actually, that is putting it politely. They flat out hate eachother. Ever since that unfortunate incident back in aught 1... It's been downhill ever since.
Or at least consider sending them to a private school where such devices can't (or are less likely to be) be eventually required by law.
Actually I would wager the Private schools are more likely to use things like this, since they have fewer laws *restricting* their use and more money to buy the equipment. Like uniforms and such - they probably *already* have cameras... Just a theory, as the only thing know about private schools is that I can't afford to send my kids to one *AND* pay taxes...

computational power/required energy to run (very important in submarines, i assume)
Because god only knows you have to watch power consumption when you're sitting on a nuclear power plant.;)
I know - this probably has no technical merit - but it is worth noting I would imagine, that nuclear power is abundant and hot - so the power/heat specs of the PC are probably null and void...
No kidding. I don't even like driving 10k.;) Going outside puts me in the top 5% of/. readers I think...
Actually though, to stay on-topic, my iPod works great while skiing... But then ski gear and bulky coats and junk aren't light, so what's a few more ounces?
In the end though, I prefer to listen to the snow and the wind and the slopes - when I am skiing. My iPod is to drown out the crap I am exposed to at *work*. My desk can hold the weight of the iPod, as long as I keep the Mt.Dew cans down to a minimum...
No, I know you are pro GC. I was making the point for the *other* readers.;) We're on the same side... To make the GC sell they need to do *more* marketing, plain and simple. Make it seem "cool" to have a GC... Right?
retailers have stopped carrying GC consoles because sales are so bad.
Not selling them sure helps sales....
Why do retailers do this? Just reduce your inventory a bit - but it's not like they are made of cottage cheese - they won't spoil.
What if a kick butt game comes out and sales jump - but they don't sell them anymore... Hmmm. Now 1/2 the retailers carry them, so obviously sales will suffer.
They need to get more mature games on the system and kick the kiddy image
What do you want for a mature game? With our group we age 30 - 40 and our favorite games are on the GC. Games like Super Monkey Ball 2 are as mature as you get. Or Pikmin, maybe too mature.
Are you looking for "shock value" maturity? How about Soul Caliber, Lord of the Rings, Eternal Darkness - or just look at games with a "mature" rating - Blood Omen 2, Blood Rayne, Celebrity Death Match, Dead to Rights, Die Hard: Vendetta, Ghost Recon, Hitman 2, Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter. - The list goes on.
How about sports games? With Hockey, X Games, Baseball, Soccer, Golf, Tennis, Volleyball, Football, Basketball, and more - all with multiple titles.
Do you need quality? Zelda, Metroid, Ikaruga...
Nostalgia? Sonic classics, Namco classics...
Fighting, racing - lots of adult genre titles... Puzzle, multi-player party games... Plenty for "mature" audiences, and I didn't even scratch the surface.
People have ALWAYS said Nintendo didn't have mature games, ever since they edited the first Mortal Kombat for the SNES. So they made a mistake - they have plenty of "mature" titles now... More than I even have time to play.
I disagree. I like the GC controller much better than te XBox controller. THe PS2 controller is fine though... I do muss my N64 controller config though...
Photoshop has performed well on Red Hat, Brooks said. Saving files is faster on Linux than on Mac OS machines also running Photoshop, he said.
Photoshop being faster at something (or at least the perception thereof) when using a set of third party libraries in Linux, as opposed to in OSX is not a good thing.
Sure the G5 will help.;) But it shouldn't be needed if Adobe was coding right (IMHO).
Also, some people forget that a lot of technology actually comes out of this research and development. Sure they may only make one computer every 3 years, but they *Do* learn things that can be applied all over the place... Or so the brochure from my congressman read...
It's at lease as good as "Scientists now know the earth is the center of the Universe" and "Scientists now know the earth is flat, and held up by 4 huge Elephants standing on tortoises." Kind of like the Theodoric of York: Medieval Barber from Saturday Night Live:
"Why, just a few years ago we would have thought your child's condition to be caused by demonic possesion. But thanks to modern medical science we now know that it is caused by a toad or small dwarf living in the boy's stomach."

If you weren't in the running:
Out of the remaining cantidates who would you vote for?
1) You can do this with all the Mozilla flavors. Set "limit lifetime of cookies to current session" in the Privacy-Cookies section of the preferences. I go one step futher and limit cookies to originating sites only. ;)
2) You can add this to Safari for Free via PithHelmet.
3) I don't know about this one because I don't use it.
For those interested, a link to PithHelmet.

Why can't things be modded past 5. ;) I knew my military earmarked tax dollars would *someday* go to an appropriate use.
People WILL pay to get solid, limited-bias, ad-free information all in one place.
There is no such thing.
I wouldn't pay for news or editorials. That crap is everywhere for free.
I *might* pay for a hobby related archive, or something like that. Heck, I would love to see some original BYTE magazines...
But Newsweek and other garbage? I can get the same info from 1000 sources, and they will always have *some* free ones.
You can get some more perspective on the whole case and series of events - if interested in information - from the Portland Tribune.
Another great breakdown here and here.
Exactly. Case and point? The West Memphis Three. Free the WM3!

After 12 years of supporting myself, and a family - I am more than eager to return to mom's basement. It wasn't such a bad place after all...

Just like the Sega Saturn...

Can't fit my big-screen in a Pinto, and it would be tough for me to drive a "fleet".
