I'm not sure what the resolution would be in ppi, but the actual screen resolution for the C-series is 640x480. Really high-res for a PDA. I don't think I've ver seen an LCD with pixels that small.
Actually, it's the Declaration of Independance that says that people get their rights from a Creator. The DoI, while a very important document, has no bearing on US law. The Constitution, which pretty much defines US law, makes no mention of a creator or of any other higher power.
That "Mac on Linux" thing looks pretty cool. Am I right in assuming that it's basically the PPC equivalent of Wine? If so, how's its compatibility? I know I've never been able to get a useful app of any type to run in a usable fashion in Wine (even the ones rated at four stars on the WineHQ application list) so I'm a bit wary about this sort of thing.
Why get an iBook, then? Linux also runs on x86-based systems, and that's where most of the development is focused. Sure, most of the more widely-used programs are easily ported to the PPC, but you're still limiting yourself. Really, are there any advantages to running Linux on a PPC compared to an equivalently-priced x86 system?
Processor installations are somewhat beyond the scope of what amateur computer techs are typically called to do. TFA specifically stated that the author only had to handle a hardware issue once.
Somehow I get the feeling that the people admining WOPR weren't about to call some guy whose ad they saw on a postcard in a newsagent's window when things go wrong.
Also, the worst thing an incompetant PC tech can do is reduce your computer to a state that requires a format and re-install to fix. The only things that could possibly be damaged permanently are your data files, and even they can almost always be recovered simply by putting your HD into another, working computer.
Auto mechanics, on the other hand, actually have to do work on a real, physical machine. They can't undo their mistakes just by sticking in a recovery disc. Plus, cars cost a hell of a lot more money than home PCs do, and, in some situations, can put your life and the lives of others in danger when things go wrong.
Fixing cars and fixing computers are completely different things, and should be treated differently.
Brannon Braga was split into two seperate people? Was there some sort of transporter accident? Is one good (but without any decision-making ability) and the other evil?
The Romulan War took place roughly 100 years before the TOS episode "Balance of Terror", which I think was set in 2266 (although the time-period of TOS wasn't actually stated onscreen until the movies and spin-offs started.) That would put it in Enterprise's general timeframe.
The original poster was fairly vague as to what kind of "stuff" we would be hosting. It's likely that he/she wasn't referring to the copyrighted materials themselves, but rather to the tools used to convert copy-protected materials from one format to another.
Actually, Scrabble dates back even further than that. It was introduced to the ancient inhabitants of Earth 2 million years ago. Unfortunately, it didn't take, and the Earth was taken over by a group of telephone-sanitizers from space.
However, even if you stretch out the timescale, that doesn't solve the problem of the order of events portrayed in Genesis 1 being impossible (day and night before the creation of the sun, etc.)

How would you describe what red looks like to someone who is sighted?

How long did it take them to respond the first time? We've had pop-up blocking for quite a while, you know.
We have rights because we want them badly enough to fight for them, either with ink, words or bullets. Nothing more, nothing less.

I think we get enough people complaining about dupes as it is.
Fine, then. They can prepend an ad to the file when they download it to the server.
The PC God cannot be appeased by poetry. He requires human sacrifices.
Or pr0n.
They need to name 10.5 "Kzinti".
Then why not just append the ad to the beginning of the file?

Of course, then everyone would try to read the article at once and cause Slashdot's servers to burst into flames...

There's no such thing.
There is no spoon.

You can parody anything. That's explicitly covered by fair use.
Three, in this case.
