They're extremely aggrivating for people on 12" laptops with a 1024x768 resolution. They take up way too much space, leaving nothing for the browser window.
I'll give you the first two points, but not the third. Technical issues, have you even looked at a 17" PowerBook? That's only 1" thick and they seem to have handled it pretty well.
Also, the logic board issue was caused by a faulty wire sheathing from the company that apple bought them from shorting out the board, not really Apple's fault.
That's not 10.3.5, that's actually CHUD tools. I don't know why that's part of it, it's kind of useless besides making your computer really slow by disabling the L2 cache.
Freaked me out the first time I installed CHUD, I wondered where the hell this control panel had come from.
12" 1.33Ghz PowerBook owners, rejoice!

Apple Releases 10.3.5
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
Maybe I'm just insane, but 10.3.5 has finally fixed the problem where the third or fourth 3D app launched would have seriously negative performance. It also nudges up the 3D performance in general, instead of getting 70FPS in BZFlag I now get 85.
Potential energy. It's the difference between putting a rock on top of a table, and dropping a refridgerator out of a plane. With all that energy stored in there, it tends to, well, explode violently. There's only so much energy you can pack in to a small space.
Actually, there's a rule built in that ovverides the Junk filter, go into Preferences -> Rules and you'll se a special Apple rule. Remove it if you wish, but next time look before you yell at apple for making a "loophole". You can just delete it.
"Taxes" were $6.66
Why, everyone knows, that's just the satan tax. The telecom providers have to pay it after they sold their souls to make picture phones popular.
I did the same thing, only even more low-tech. We'd take a styrofoam cup covered in tin foil, charge it with static electricity from a van de graf generator, and toss it to the person.
The trick was not to touch the metal and keep it in another non-covered cup.
Not only does it already have standard PC hardware, letting Linux coders use their previous experience, but it's got some other special things that are also perfect.
It has HD TV-Out (Or RCA cables), and a DVD-ROM drive. A spacious 250GB HD can be installed to save everything under the sun, and after all that, you can still play games on it and not have to worry about viruses and worms, and most importantly, cheaters, playing online. It's cheaper than any hardware of that class should be. Cheap cheap cheap! That's why this is so popular.
Plus, you get the added bonus that you got to do something that Microsoft doesn't want, all while MS makes a loss on the XBox.
I think it's also to save on bandwidth costs. Browsers can cache the CSS page, and then just get the content. With likely thousands of people downloading music from them, they'll probably want to save every single kilobyte that they can.

I could've sworn that delorean was only a 2 door gull wing.

Howabout you upgrade the Graphics to an FX 5200, and the HD to 80GB, or 160GB.
What's stopping someone from booting into safe mode and deleting the driver, or possibly even using Knoppix? If nothing, then this is worthless.
Please point me to the Linux version of StarCraft. Oh wait, damn editors are messing with my head.
Anyways, is this GCC 3.5 or not?

I'm 17 and I thought it was amusing. Pwned?
Good simpsons quote though.
You could download the Combo updater, which will work on any copy of Panther to bring it to 10.3.5.

You rock apple.

I'll forgive Nintendo for shying away from online games if they port Super Smash Bros. to the DS.
Looking at the key layout, there ought to be a bunch of SNES ports for this thing. It's probably more powerful than it.
XABY 4 LyFe baby!
Other other caution: Hitting reload may cause the site to go down faster. Imagine that. Medic!
Could I interest you in an old G4 cube I've got lying around? No one seems to want to buy it.
My DSL went down on Monday, I called them the same day, and they said "We'll call you between 4 and 8PM tomorrow"
No call. Great service guys. Can't wait to see what it'll be like without 80% of their workforce.

Next time, look before you bash.

I wonder if tasers are ever going to become controlled devices.
NASA: "The 360 ate our paper tape"
So, I shouldn't bring my cube?

The assumption is that there _will_ be.
