Yes, it works well, it's fast, and all hardware is supported. Installation is done with a retail Leopard disk, so it's a lot cleaner than most hackintoshes, and it's safely updateable.
Newsflash: The US doesn't have them. Nor do all passports have RFID (the new one I received last week doesn't). Don't believe all the media hype, it exists to scare you and get page clicks.
i personally believe that it is a good investment even if the car costs 50k.
Then by all means, invest your money if you think it's worth doing. Using tax money for this is immoral, not to mention unconstitutional.

People said the same thing about investing money in a network of interconnected computers so expensive that only the military could afford it. Look at what a failure that was.
We've already seen Intel's first X25-M solid-state drive blow the doors of the competition, and now there's a new X25-E Extreme model that's even faster. This latest drive reads at 250MB/s, writes at 170MB/s
Yet, 5 articles down the Slashdot homepage, options depending:
Samsung said it's now mass producing a 256GB solid state disk that it says has sequential read/write rates of 220MB/sec and 200/MBsec, respectively.
I'm pretty sure the improved write speeds is the part that people are interested in with SSDs these days.
No, analog television is already being phased out and replaced with equally free digital television. They're squabbling over what to do with the leftover frequency space.
Looks like they changed it during they beta to require glibc 2.4-based Linux distributions (RHEL 4, CentOS 4, Debian 4 are out) for stack-smashing protection.
MMOs require a significant time investment, and most people don't play more than one at a time. To grow a healthy population and to attract people away from other games, you need to offer something novel. Taking yet another Sci-Fi property (that's already been done to death) and throwing it into an MMO is a sure-fire way to fail.
Seconded. I see the same, as well as the GP. Also in the Boston area (and working for a startup currently entertaining multiple $100+ mil sale offers). The tech economy certainly seems to be holding its own during this downturn.
Hopefully the problem with IT is due to the immaturity of the industry and that things will improve in time.
Unfortunately, many of us have been thinking that since the early 80s. It seems the industry is doomed to remain perpetually young/immature, which is both good and bad.
The internet has become a powerful tool for terrorism recruitment. What was once conducted at secret training camps in Afghanistan is now available to anyone, anywhere because of the web.
Chatrooms are potent recruitment tools, but counterterrorism officials have found terrorist-sponsored videos are also key parts of al-Qaeda's propaganda machine.
There have been online terror-training videos ranging from how to slit a victim's throat and how to make suicide vests to how to make explosives from homemade ingredients and how to stalk people and ambush them, said Bruce Hoffman, a counterterrorism expert and professor at Georgetown University.
Of course, you are correct. But we're going to hear a lot more about how "the few are making it slow for the many" because the telecoms and ISPs are looking for a big price increase.
You're basing that assumption on what? Comcast, for instance, has not raised their prices one penny for Internet access in the past 6 years. It was $42.95 in 2002, and it's $42.95 in 2008, yet speeds have improved by a factor of 16.
You don't have to pay sales tax in your state on goods purchased in another state. The whole problem with internet companies is deciding what "state" they are in.
You most certainly do. Feel free to call up your state revenue office (assuming you live in a state that collects sales tax, some do not) and ask them how they feel about good purchased in another state.
I was getting games and movies on release day from Buy.com circa 2000, and I'm pretty sure I've run into it a few times since then. Is anyone going to fall for Amazon's "service?"

A not-insignificant chunk is running OS X, as well.

Sure, like CUPS. Apple-owned and completely unmaintained or compilable. Right.
What failures? It's a fantastic game and there is an enormous online community. There are always people available to play with.

All you've done is raise inflation and lesson the value of a dollar by $25K-$100K per person. Welcome to $100 milk.
Will it blend?

Full decentralized, search capabilities, with many people able to share pieces of the same file... I think we already have something like that.
News flash: Centralisation is a strength of BitTorrent.

Walmart should have offered to strip any files and then stop using DRM.
Ummm, they are. It's even stated in this (and previous) articles. And the above summary.

Opera is Norwegian.
But TiVo runs (and contributes to) Linux. And these were defensive patents. That makes them okay, right?

Chances are good the price you pay for your Internet access is largely irrelevant.

Which one is the law enforcement officer?
Oh, right. Not entrapment.
On the Comcast Network Management page, they note that:
Currently, the median monthly data usage by our residential customers is approximately 2 - 3 GB.
That puts the cap in a little more perspective, not that the 2+ TB/mo users will think it's reasonable.
