Sure, it's multilingual, but it happens to sound like the most common kids' expression for urine. I'm sure the marketing department can't have overlooked this.
Well, the tax system in Australia already punishes high income users for using the public health care system, so I'd say everyone who gets private health care as a result would have the G-men banging down their doors if this were to happen.
Cable companies in Australia already rendered machines like this (mostly) useless. That is, useless unless you only care about the six channels that aren't encrypted. I can only guess that NZ already suffer from the same problem, but who knows...
Yet, the fact remains that the stick of RAM available in stores is MUCH faster than it's supposed to be, faster in fact, than this speed deficit that everyone's bitching about. People here really need to get some perspective. What's the bigger difference, 471-417 or 417-333?
So what you're basically saying is, someone is using the product outside of the product's operating specifications, and then bitching because some other guy was able to use it *further* outside of the operating specifications.
I still don't see the problem here, except perhaps the problem that overclockers are a little too enthusiastic about saving those extra few dollars.
A DDR-667 chip (or more specifically, a PC2-5300 stick) is supposed to run at at 333 MHz. So one runs at 421 MHz and the other runs at 471 MHz. To me, it looks like both of those sticks are performing way faster than the specification requires.
Isn't this just the price the user pays for being too stingy to pay for a memory stick which is actually rated to run at 400 MHz in the first place?
Yet they claim that they have never been a windows user before (Making me wonder where they have been for the past 10+ years where windows has been the ubiquitous consumer & business software platform.)
Maybe they have been developing for Linux? I know plenty of people who only experienced Windows relatively recently. UNIXes, after all, are heavily taught in universities.
It certainly can work, but Boot Camp gives me a nice interface to repartition which is slightly easier to use than KPartEd (although not much), and it also gives me a nicer bootloader.
I'm not saying they're not allowed to make an income on it. I'm saying that because they make an income on software, clearly they're not a "hardware company."
Exactly. Well, I thought the requirements for OSX were a little steeper than that (my own box was built for approx 400 USD, which is 500 Dell Dollars, and OSX won't run on it because it doesn't support SSE2.) But otherwise, that's exactly the point. Offering OSX to run on normal boxes opens up to 95% of the market (the approximate total number of machines which aren't Apple's own hardware.)

Hey, how did you guess? :-)
/me in the future waves around an existing Windows XP CD from 2006, which apparently still works even though Vista came out. Go figure.
What would be really good though, would be if Microsoft noticed this, and chose to implement HFS+.
Allegedly yes, it does encrypt by default. This has the entire field of computer forensics in a panic. :-)
Or perhaps Nintendo OTZ.

Makes sense too. If you're a kid and you wanna go weeee, but you ain't got drugs yet...
Buy Nintendo.
No, what's ridiculous is that some people around here still think that you can redicule people.

I ssh into localhost using PuTTY. That gives me the best results so far.
Whoops, your motherboard just fried. Too bad you didn't have a redundant motherboard.
But this technology they're talking about here is what will *make* multiple CPUs out-flank the single fast one. Cause, and effect.
For instance, on the rare days when one forgets to pack the laptop.
Fair enough, I'll stop feeding the trolls now.

Windows is not for "these people", either, whoever "these people" are.
The fact remains... Wine is closer to "classic" than any kind of VMware or VirtualPC clone is.
No, not like VirtualPC. More like Wine. Speaking of which, how is Darwine coming along? :-)
Apple isn't in the OS X business, they are in the computer hardware business.
If that were true, imagine how much cheaper the upgrade to Tiger would have been ($0.)
