Blame it on poor English. "You can get one" means the one aforementioned.
"You can get similar ones here and here" or "you can get other micro-helicopters here and here", and we could have discussed about the topic for a change...
What's wrong with showing their contact information to everybody?
For instance, I would benefit those rich guys so much by offering some business opportunity in Nigeria I'm into.
Ah, praise the lord for those helping guys, always wanting to inform you about the latest and greatest offers, and refusing to accept anything in exchange...
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 Celsius.
Confronted with the same problem, the Russians used a pencil.
Things like that are what make me feel so happy and patriotic when I pay my taxes.
Yeah I know you can't include them all (vary even from country to country) but that was a good start. DSL go as high as 24Mbps in Korea and 12Mbps in Japan right now. AFAIK 8Mbps is quite common in Japan and 2Mbs in low-end ADSL.
The most important ones missing are LMDS (great, check http://www.wcai.com/lmds.htm) and Satellite. Residential networked building blocks work great and cheap in Sweden.
BTW : WiFi networks enter the broadband range too.
HAM radio is quite slow (about 4000bps in my experience, but that depends on antenna, location, etc) . Anyway it's been here for a while.
See, it's not Apple - it's PowerPC damn it!. Apple is not PowerPC and PowerPC is not Apple.
BTW who needs Apple clones so the Apple world becomes in just a parallel x86 world? I don't really see the need. Apple is based on control: control comes at a price, but provides guarantees to those willing to pay for it. You buy an Apple and you know the quality of the what you're getting (overall, hardware and software)- even if you're not an enthusiast.
What I did expect is an Apple story with the penguin icon. The other day it was the B.Gates icon (that post on Virtual PC).
Yeah I guess piracy isn't a concern when you're giving away your stuff (code, soft) and making profit from somewhere else (maintenance, counseling, certification).
But keep in mind that sometimes it just doesn't work any better (or implies "higher ethics"). When I know a company is releasing underdocumented or buggy code on purpose just to keep gauging from me ("deluxe docs", counselling...) there's a thin line you sometimes don't know where it exactly is.
... what's even worse is when they steal from you both ways (seen any macromedia packaged doc?)...
Now seriously, I've been thinking in buying a Mac to port software to MacOS... I wish they had some more market share so my decission would be a bit safer.
Incorporating a resonance chamber consisting of both primary and secondary mirrors separated by a chamber length of 50 cm, the TIS-1 will provide a beam of 10.6 micrometer wavelength laser light for a duration of 0.35 seconds with a net energy output to target of approximately 1.9 kW.
The TIS-1 is capable of delivering up to 170 bursts per minute on fully automatic mode, or one burst per trigger release for precision sniping. Effective range of the TIS-1 is dependent upon dispersion of the 1.3 mm diameter laser beam over distance and is estimated at excess of 1500 meters.
A net energy output to target of approximately 1.9 kW sounds quite lethal to me.
Sorry if my post offended someone, but I just had no time and I really was interested in the topic.
And what did I get? a -1 Troll... geez
BTW I'm very interested in porting my applications to Mac too. Trolltech and Metrowerks seem to have very nice solutions, but they're just too expensive (if my company bought it, it would be fine, but my bosses seem to think "there's nothing but windows and IE"). Anytime I mention cross-platform compatibility or even cross-browser compatibility I'm looked at like I was trying to levitate.
Maybe you know of any other solution...
Using Python+C+wxWindows/Tk looks promising but I heard wxWindows for Mac (Mach-o) is still a bit buggy. Tkinter is a bit cumbersome...
Hopefully, they will bring some of the good stuff back someday.
I just wish they realized 3D isn't always the answer. I wish they don't screw the mechanics of Rygar by making it 3D. Metroid Prime is fine but has little to do with the original. That's just fine, better that a 3D rip-off of the original.
Thank God we still have mame and the different emulators for the 8/16bits...
Dreamcast was developed from the Naomi technology available in arcades in the first place.
This is the reversed process. And add the fact that the hardware in the XBOX isn't new or revolutionary at all. Is basically Intel x86 + nVidia + hardware locks + a now-crappy HD + a huge ugly case. Anyway I love some of the games;)

What must be real easy is recycling!!
Nice idea. I can't wait to get my "origame case of the week"!!

No it isn't. Yet another guy thinking something is newer and better because it bloats more graphics by default.
Moderators have to be on crack. Everybody knows Mosaic was the first HTTP-HTML browser.
Wouldn't slashdot be great if people didn't pull things off their ass so often?? Oh well
If this thing is as slow as IBM's microdrive, $100 for a slow 1.5GB CF is nothing spectacular against $200 for a fast 1GB CF.
May have a niche, but save your pyrotechnics for another occasion.
...and I thought Al Gore invented all that stuff.
You never know.

I hate buzzwords. What's worse than a buzzword? a buzzword in French.
Geez
You mean since 95th reboot?
This thing will be 145000 yen (that's US$1,212)
Expect some $1,500 in the USA
Maybe to find Apple's market share.
Now seriously, I've been thinking in buying a Mac to port software to MacOS... I wish they had some more market share so my decission would be a bit safer.

If someone in the world really read all that bloat please post the gist here ;)
I see a very nice chance for Mac and Linux to become more attractive.
If wine outperformed native winbloze that would kill it... but maybe that's overoptimistic.

Puzzles dead? huh... try again.
Hmm I guess 333Mhz will be cheaper when 400Mhz comes out.
Not everybody goes for the latest and greatest stuff all the time...
Huh? they're talking about bus speed. Intel is about to reach 200Mhz quad-pumped (800Mhz) and AMD is about to reach 200Mhz double-pumped (400Mhz).
If you don't know what you're talking about prevent yourself from posting.

No download available. "Only via our store" and 98 bucks. Somebody mod up the guys at YOPER they're really funny.
