A lot of people are not even held back by applications, but by the company not letting them buy a laptop which can't conceivably be used to do their job (which the company naturally assumes can only be done on Windows.) Whether such a person even ends up booting into Windows is irrelevant once the hardware is acquired (I know in my case, I haven't yet. Though I have been eyeing off Bootcamp as a convenient way to dual boot into Linux.)
Of course, a much better kind of insurance for not liking OSX would be the ability to try it on normal hardware before you have to shell a couple thousand for a new machine.
Or perhaps they changed something between the PowerBook and the MacBook Pro? The keyboard I use at work is a fairly ordinary generic thing, but the Logitech at home comes out the same way, always with the keys in the same order they're on on the Mac.
That's nothing. What about Caps Lock? We don't program in ALL-UPPERCASE BASIC or COBOL anymore. Word processors have styles which can allcap text, and if you're writing web sites, CSS does that part. What's the point of having that key now?
Good luck finding a doctor who will let you call them by phone, let alone one you can contact via email. Australian doctors are extremely backwards in this regard, all in the name of "privacy."
Realistically, service plans usually make phones cost about a thousand bucks. That being said, the prices do fall rather fast. And certainly from eBay, you can often find phones at 1/3 of their real price only a year after they were brand new.
I don't see anything wrong with buying items with real money. The real problem is the guy playing 24 hours a day who is earning money due to their character's high level.
The former is just a guy who might not have the time to spend levelling up all day like your average MMO game addict, and wants some way to level out the game. The latter is a guy with no life who should get a damn job.
It's true. The current Paint is so good because you can hand edit things like icons and sprites in it. Anyone who actually needs a "better" graphics program is already using something more advanced.
I wonder if it's still "Internet mail" if it doesn't go over the Internet. Food for thought, anyway. Those FBI agents probably send "notes" instead of emails.
Sure, so-called "security" measures such as blocking attachments cost money, but things like that remove value from the service, making it much less qualified to be called "email."
Even saying something first-hand is legally binding. If an agreement was made, an agreement was made. That being said, real estate agents are generally idiots. We had one in particular which, wait for it, demanded everything in writing, sent by snail mail. Fax was apparently not good enough, they wanted the original ink.
Besides, many of the smaller ISPs simply don't have the resources to manage a content filter... here has to be some reward for implementing such a thing.

Until I can run all of the applications I use on the same OS I'm not switching.
See you in the year 3003, when software developers may finally have a clue how to write portable code.

These are at least labelled on the MacBook Pro, which is what the poster above was talking about, or at least I thought.

Nope. Alt on a Windows keyboard triggers Command on OSX. Been there, done that, whinged about it already.

"Why do users refuse to adopt collaboration software?"
No idea... why don't you ask Wikipedia?
Indeed. $10,000 seems a bit much, even if it's for shitty Dells.

Also, piracy can only be linked to cheating if all "non-pirate-able" games have no cheaters. Yet you see droves of bots in Ragnarok Online. Go figure.

Or to rephrase your argument, it's perfectly fine to say something that's clearly wrong just because another dozen idiots got it wrong first.
Funny, you never see people mark that up on stories and comments.
Additionally, to serve an Asian market, many have had additional Asian subtitles added and then were recompressed, causing quality to diminish.
Are you sure we're talking about DVD still? With the DVD I know, subtitles are stored completely separately from the video.
That, and the cost of burners and blanks.
That must be a different sidebar though, because this one is apparently "exclusive."
It's true. The current Paint is so good because you can hand edit things like icons and sprites in it. Anyone who actually needs a "better" graphics program is already using something more advanced.
Not until 2007 it won't be...
That's okay, because nobody uses video.

Exactly. You'd make much more money that way.
