From what I know about Adobe (well, photoshop at least), its written as a mac App then ported over to windows. So optimizations aside, the speed differences would probably be to the brute force that x86 has going for it right now.
Many soldiers in Vietnam were there because they were drafted, and didn't have much of a choice.
And that makes it ok to spit on them and blame them for what they went over there to do? Those in the military deserve our respect simply because they are there (willingly or unwillingly). Say what you want about the people that sent them there, or why they're there but not about the people going in to do it.

1. Maybe, but there's more than one way to the middle east.
2. There is no way in hell that Turkey would let that happen. The resolution that they will be voting on today (3/20) has provisions that the Turkish army will follow the US army into northern Iraq and keep the Kurds from doing anything but sit there
3. How about South Korea and Japan, they're closer to China and we've already got lots of troops there.
4. Ok, Pakistan is already one of the US's biggest allies in the region and they're not going to do anything to piss us off (less we don't give them the aid we've promised)
5. Yeah, probably. I personally don't think that they've planned that far ahead, but its extremely possible that they have.
6. I doubt if Saddam would bother attacking Israel. He'd be more concerned with making as many American casualties as possible
7. Isn't that already apparant?
8. Since the USSR fell has there really been any obsticals to world domination?
9. I don't think that building stuff for the war will really help the economy, but the certanity surrounding what will happen certainly will.
10. Enron and all that is already over. Turns out that it was just limited to a few scumbags that wanted to take advantage of the system.
11. maybe, but I think that the word is finally getting out that Patriot and Son of Patriot and CAPPS II are bad things.
Bush is doing what he (and the rest of the administration for that matter) feel is the best course of action to protect America from another 9/11. Bush selected his cabinet because he knows that he doesn't know much about International relations. that's a good thing. whether or not you agree with their politics is another.

America never had a Churchill. We had a FDR but never a Churchill.
Nope, here in DC the Metrorail has pretty much the same thing. They call it smartrip and you have an account with them that you put money into and then your trips are deducted from that. They're pretty money (for lack of a better term;) especially in that since they only cost 5 bucks I've been able to get them replaced twice and saved myself 30 compared to the normal cards they use.
Because VPC emulates x86 on PPC, there are a couple of PPC emulators for windows, but the most recent OS they can run is like System 7.6 (maybe 8.1, I'm not sure). They're also ass slow. There's also much more of a market for windows apps on a Mac than Mac apps on windows.
Sony was the first major game console maker I can think of that allowed reverse compatibility with its previous products.
Nope, Sega had an adapter that would let you play old Master System games on the Genesis. Granted it cost an extra 40 bucks I think, but it works pretty well.
I don't think that is a good idea. I think the fact that users can read ahead of time and then they can prepare their posts. This might make better prepared comments.
Since when is this a bad thing? I don't know about you but most of the posts around here are pretty pointless or just plain wrong. I've personally got my prefs set at +3 just to weed out the silly stuff. I think anything that would contribute to the discussion would be a good thing (tm). Of course, the real downside to that would be the trolls subscribing so they would be guaranteed first post status, but then again the Mods would hopefully catch all that stuff.
No, Put Away was made for back when Macs didn't ship with Hard Drives. ejecting left a ghost image of the disk on the desktop, then you could insert another disk and drag your files over, the mac would then prompt you to insert the other disk to make the copy. Put away ejected the disk and removed the icon from the desktop.
Well fair use isn't outlawed by the DMCA, it just outlaws breaking encryption and other forms of protection to do anything that might have fair use umm uses. If you bought a book and wanted a back up copy and sat and wrote the whole thing down yourself with a pen, the DMCA couldn't touch you unless they want to call literacy a copyright circumvention device.
Then create your own special intrest. complaining that your money can't do anything is one thing, but supporting or creating organizations that have the same position as you is a very different one. Do some research find those special intrests that do ally with you, don't sit and complain that you can't do anything when tons of information and paths exist out there just waiting to be taken.
The only other thing I wonder is how 7200RPM ide drives benchmark against my 10kRPM FCAL disks.
Well, your 10K disks would probably smoke these since they're only 7200 and on ATA/100. however, how much would 2.5 terrabytes cost in those 10K SCSI drives? That's what's incredible about this I think. for just over 10K you can get that much storage.
And yes there are DB-9 serial ports on tehre. they're on the Xserve servers as well. The X-line is apple's better than their previous half-assed attempts at making a real mac server(which previously were just desktop macs with extra ethernet ports).
Rupert Murdoch owns News Corp of which Fox (the network with the Simpsons) is a part. News Corp also owns many newspapers, the Fox News Channel, and lots of sports stuff. Just a heads up Hemos.
I'm sure he'd be happy to rent/sell you movies, but I think his main thing is that if you're buying blank VHS tapes, you're obviously going to use them to copy movies. So the MPAA should get 3 bucks each time you buy blanks just in case.
yes DVDs here are labled with the macrovision and all that junk, but CDs (as in music) are not. Not to mention that CDs with the copy protection on them won't necessarily play in CD-ROM drives or car CD players. That's the problem this bill is attempting to solve. If I buy a CD, I expect it to play in my computer(because I don't own a stereo), like all the others I've bought before, these copy protected ones won't, and they should be labeled as such.
So they're evil because they're a company that sells stuff? Or they're evil because they're enforcing a licence that the developers agreed to go by? Would Linus be evil if someone was violating the GPL using linux and he sued?
I'll still bet money the GF FX will be the dominant card come final release.
Well maybe, but I doubt if ATI will sit still. The 9700 is a damn fine card and they've still got like 3 months to cook up a 9900 or something to combat the GFFX. They're normally just leapfrogging each other, but I think nVidia dropped the ball when they GF FX didn't ship in november like it was supposed to. ATI's last 2 generations of products (8500 & 9700) have been pretty damn good, and they've gotten into the 6 month dev groove that nVidia used to have (before the GFFX) Well, competition is good, and I'm on a iBook anyway, so I can just drool.:(
Why shouldn't they enforce them? 11 year olds cant' get into R-rated movies without a parent or someone else, why should they be able to buy GTA:VC? Its rather pointless to say that ratings are a tool for parents when the kids can bypass their parents and buy the game anyway. Most places won't take back games if they're opened and you think the kids are going to plainly show their parents everything? If getting carded (and getting carded is a pretty lose term, I guess I look over 17) the 2 times a year I buy a game that warrants it, will shut up all the people that think video games will make me a killer, then I'm all for it.
no, because they'd make more money selling iMacs to those 5A% of the PC market. I'll say it again, Apple is a hardware company. the software only exists to fuel the hardware sales. This is why none of the OS X only apps will ever be ported.
Well, by your definition all art is pointless. Why take the time to paint the Mona Lisa? We all know what women look like (in theory) and especially when they are smiling (again, in theory). Why should Leonardo have taken the time to paint it?
Well that and one can look at the current line up, and judge pretty well if a product line is up for a re-fresh. Then you just have to wait for the next MacWorld or Seybold or something and then you can order the next big thing. Besides, Joe Schmoe that buys an iMac G4 isn't going to be rummaging about the rumor sites before he buys, its only going to affect the hard core Mac Addicts and they should know the cycle anyway.

I'd imagine that getting it cheap isn't the point. Although I suppose that it would be cheaper to get good beer for less money by making it yourself. I have a friend that makes his own and its not bad, at least as good as "good" domestic (US). As for the places to make it for you, they're called microbreweries and are a god-send for those of us that just like beer.

probably since the AIM (Apple, IBM, Motorola) alliance was created way back in 1991. Apple decided a long time ago that IBM wasn't the enemy.
