Sorta, but the previous poster had a major point to.
Greenpeace was already once taken to task on this issue, to the effect that real scientists and computer industry officials flat out said Greenpeace was making shit up about a lot of what Apple was doing, and that they where using Apple only because
1) Many of Greenpeaces own members are Apple users.
2) They are high profile
And even in Jobs own letter, while being very tame, takes them to task for their supposed evidence as well, by pointing out many of the Companies they considered good at environmental concerns where doing LESS than Apple was.
So you really have to wonder, are Greenpeace out to make the world actually better? Or have they grown so big as to be a perpetual money machine for its own officials, which need to keep themselves in the news to continue to make more money.
Remember the Environmental industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, just the same as the NRA, or PETA, or any other concerns groups.
I have heard of RTFA, but jesus RTFS... The courts ruled that it was all "broadcast radio" If they had ruled differently THEN your statement would apply but since the Judge in this case actually had a brain, we don't have to worry about that now.
I think the point I'm trying to make about XP/Vista is that when you press the delete key, the OS assumes that you are actually trying to delete a file (quite sensibly) and respond to you accordingly.
Except for all those times your not in Windows and you shove off stuff to the trash trying to do something else that the OS or other programs require the del key for that in other OSs dont have that issue. Yet another example of how poorly designed Windows is but how dumbed down computer users now are because of it.
- is technically the most superior i.e. highest capacity per layer
As of now, though its been suggested for ages that HD-DVD could go just as large in the future.
- has the widest support from companies including vital content creation ones like Adobe and Apple
Also true, but many are supporting it for the DRM and not because of its technical superiority
- has an open source platform underpinning it i.e. Sun Java
I'll give you that, but so does HD-DVD too.
- has the support of Sony who clearly is more Linux friendly than Microsoft
Thats true as well, but what does Microsoft have to do with any of this other than having a stake in HD-DVDs acceptance. HD-DVD is developed by Toshiba.
No same thing here. I am the only trained Mac tech for about 750 machines while we have about 5 trained PC techs for 1400-1600.
I have never worked in a environment where the mac techs outweighed PC techs, even in schools where there where twice as many Macs to PCs. Part has to do I think with the fact that PC techs are a dime a dozen and Mac techs are very hard to fine (often your training Mac users up to becoming Mac Techs themselves rather than hiring out for a person who was already a Mac Tech) Likewise from a management standpoint Macs have always been easier to manage, since they where designed from as far back as OS 6 to be remotely managed. The only thing hard I have encountered is managing machines using Active Directory, to make it easier on a PC network, which you can do, but takes some setting up.
As to the monetary issue, parents are responsible for the financial debts of their minor children with few exceptions.
Actually one very big one. Copyright, where in the parents have no legal requirement to pay. All that has to be done is the copies destroyed and thats it. The RIAA redefined that one due to "digital rights" though.
Sorry your wrong. Based ON SCREEN (which is the ONLY canon source) it conflicts both ways, with it either being for collection for storage of the matter portion of the M/AM engine, OR for the impulse engine. It wavers between episodes though toward the end of TNG on it pretty much was retrod back into it being the former.
Tech manuals are NOT CANON. Some where not even written by the people involved such as the original Starfleet Technical Manual which was the FIRST to spell it out.
Look at it this way. The game industry itself relies on these numbers. Do you think that would be the case if the industry knew that the world's largest retailer was not reflected in the report?
The game industry it's self does NOT use these numbers. It never has. Game REPORTERS use them, but thats because its cheap to get their hands on, unlike the industries REAL numbers list.
Yes he is the same guy, but the sorta part comes from the Ramjet concept being part of the Warp Drive nacelles in Star Trek, but not the actual power source of them but part of it.
In the Star Trek concept, the forward part of a Bussard Ramjet is used to collect interstellar hydrogen which is then used as the matter portion of the anti-matter propulsion system (ie the actual Warp Drive reactor) The thing being its concept has been changed so much from the original series to Enterprise that its hard to pin down if this really is the matter portion of the reaction, or if this is now used as part of a supplemental system and the hydrogen is stored elsewhere for use in the impulse drive or for emergency power.
The other big kicker was the fact that between production of TOS and TMP it was found that there just wasnt enough hydrogen out there to actually make such a concept able (ramjet OR bussard collector) That was part of the reason Andrew Probert started to change the forward nacelle around on the Refit Enterprise to de-accentuate the whole collector portion. The Excelsior got rid of it entirely (though odds are this was more due to the stupidity of the ILM modelmakers in concepts related to Trek, which had a lot of real life science basis thanks to Genes work with NASA scientist). Then it reappeared on the E-D (which funny enough was also designed by Probert.) and the concept was retrod back into the concept.
Funny all my meat and veggies come from NJ, since thats where our state gets all their food from. The only thing the Midwest farms is corn, most of which is exported or possessed into the very foods many scientists are linking to obesity. I also eat a lot of fish which if Im not mistaken other than a few rivers around there you guys dont have much of, nor a industry for.
The truth is the midwest doesn't understand how little the east and west coasts really need it, because they have been fooled into believing everything they do is going to the east and west for us to eat. Its not its going to Canada and Mexico and Japan and Europe and everywhere else, the US ISNT eating it. Infact the only things you guys raise that you could say we eat, is pigs in your massive environmentally damaging pig farms. But then all the meat I buy is raised in NJ for that too. Just tastes fresher.
All you managed to point out was that Gore won the most populous states in the nation per square mile while Bush won the ones with small populations with large amounts of landmass being used for farming, which also happen to be the states with high Christian populations, and with extreme conservative streaks. I could take it one step further and point out that Bush lost almost every major city in the country and that Bush's wins where also areas of large Methamphetamine problems. We could go back and forth with these statistics.
So really all you managed to point out is what everyone already knows, the middle of the country is full of hick Christian wackos with no sense of reality since they are so cut off from the culture the west and east provide from foreign influence. And that Bush's brother stole Florida for for him.
ITs not news, but people like to make it new. Just like Ubuntu Apple updates and patches their system constantly compared to Microsoft. But people like to say that means the computer is LESS secure than a windows machine.
The truth is more Apple is willing and able to patch its software in a timely manner, while Microsoft waits for big chunk updates and service packs to do it.
I know your being a smartass, but to solve the problem you also have to prevent it from being easy in the first place.
Whats the point in trying to attack the social reasons why these kids are getting involved in gangs when they are reaping the rewards of it right under your nose. Make it hard for them to engage in the acts and you can then go in and control the reasons. Granted we are just one district and while our gang problem is there its been shrinking thanks to active measures, but we still have the problem of neighboring Citys pushing THEIR gang problems under the rug and having it pour over into our district (more often than not what happened, they would even walk across the boarder into other citys knowing they couldnt be caught there, but would have been caught and sent to prison in our town, which is why the kids in our HS who have been killed have all been killed in Elizabeth and Rahway no where my city
That Apple wasnt delaying to for the iPhone more than they are delaying it for some secret additions to the codebase and the testing involved for it that we will get a hint of come WWDC.
You have never had kids sponsor gang hits using Myspace like we have had in the past huh? Thats the reason why we blocked all of the blog sites, they where using them as a way to pass messages around and incite acts of violence in school that they thought was untraceable since it was on the web.
They blocked us, thanks to some butwipe kids in our district who must have messed with their site, but with no warning our entire district was blocked since they come in on one IP address.
Was only temp, but I still gave them a piece of my mind for not informing us that someone was messing around with their site so we could track down the kid and punish them.
Even then they dont alway catch the kids who bypass the proxy, especially for sites like Myspace which on average dont trip them. Whats really needed is a combination of the two, you have a filter that blocks our weighted phrases and content, but also block specific sites AND the proxy sites as they pop up.
Doing that you can usually buy 1-2 weeks before you have to hunt down the new bypasses again. If this was just one guy, I could see it buying up all his time, as for our staff of 10 it can take a few hours to block things ad track people once we know what is going on. Usually though we get told days or weeks later which at that point its useless to go back through our logs except to tell what area in the district it might have originated from. Sadly our network was not designed with any eye toward management and all the planning being done around getting systems into the schools fast, which has caused a lot of issues as we try to redesign it while its still up.
no they where cartoony for specific problems resulting from the SGI chip used and developers inability to be innovative in light of those problems (Factor 5 is a great example of a developer who DID deal with the problem and made incredible games because of it), but from a completely technical standpoint the SGI chip was 5 years of development ahead of the chip used in the PS1 (and not surprising, since the PS1 was based on Superfancom hardware that was pulled out and replaced with Sony produced stuff when Nintendo pulled out of the Play Station project.)
It was the difficulty to develop for the 64 that caused issues, EXACTLY the same problems that both the 360 and the PS3 now are experiencing, the 360 in the fact that its not a carbon clone of the original because of the architecture change, and the PS3 because the Cell chip it's self is incredibly complicated.

Microsoft no longer owns a part of MSNBC. Its not even known as Microsoft NBC anymore. I think it was last year they severed ties.
I have heard of RTFA, but jesus RTFS... The courts ruled that it was all "broadcast radio" If they had ruled differently THEN your statement would apply but since the Judge in this case actually had a brain, we don't have to worry about that now.
I know you where joking, but I was being serious. The NX-01 bridge set montiors where powered by 6 Apple G4 Cubes with touch sensitive screens.
Well on the NX-01 they used Mac G4 Cubes ;-)
I have never worked in a environment where the mac techs outweighed PC techs, even in schools where there where twice as many Macs to PCs.

The only thing hard I have encountered is managing machines using Active Directory, to make it easier on a PC network, which you can do, but takes some setting up.
You can even set a computer to always netboot too. We used to do that in my fathers school labs for years. At least since the early 90's.
We might hate Microsoft, but we hate Sony more.

Cant be ANY worse than that POS that people actually think will be the next Wicked (Its not and never will be)
