I recently purchased a 1520 lol.
You have to remember that the interior dimensions need to allow for a healthy amount of foam around everything. With a power brick and any other goodies, the size is just right.

Doom Movie Update

Carmack needs to pull the plug on this movie before it ruins the Doom brand. No hell, no mars, no space marines, but they're including a character "Pinky" ?!?
This movie has the chance to be something. Let's not turn it into another Army of Darkness...
A valid argument. I was looking at it purely from the sense that we view Newton as a scientist only. Surely people can have many talents and have knowledge of many fields.
Every person has their own thoughts on various topics. I wonder if it would "cheapen" our view of Newton by releasing these documents, or would we just discount them due to their age?
This isn't a communist arena, it's a competition. You play to succeed and win. Don't kick the guy who's doing well, take the initiative on your own and go to a different server.
Sorry to say I'm one of those people who is typically scoring "30-3" on a server where others are no where close. And I don't cheat!
You play something long enough, then you get good at it. You play the same maps long enough, you start knowing all the little tricks, and where people *always* go. People are creatures of habit, and thus my shooting is made easier;)
Find a cool game and stick with it. I've played a lot (SOF, RTCW, Unreal, etc.) of online FPS' but CS seems to be the most fun, and the matches cycle quickly enough that you can get plenty of play time in.
For practice on the downtime work with bots or host your own LAN parties.
There are places where digital simply can not go. For instance, high radiation places, such as on military planes (think nuke-proof) or even parts of spacecraft.....film is a crucial medium for photography.
I think Kodak sees the consumer going the way of digital, and that makes sense.
Patents with crazy licensing fees, etc. make the individual go their own route...make their invention. If the giant is charging 200,000 for FAT fees, then make your own file system (which is what many companies will do, and Microsoft will be forced to support it). I think once Microsoft sees how difficult it is to support all these systems that crucial vendors create, they'll start offering it free....that's just what works best.
In the case of your friend, or "that guy" with the chemical/food/drug patent. If the drug is so crucial (ie cancer cure, etc.) that it would effect profits, then those companies would buy it up.
quite the opposite...you're looking at it the wrong way.
patents are put in place to help the little guy succeed amongst big corporations like this. if Linus held the patent on FAT, and decided to exercise his legal rights, would you be so critical then?
oh yeah, and our economy is doing great...thanks in part, to a system that allows for such success of the individual.

Contrary to faithful/. reader's belief, not every poster actually reads the news article they are posting about.
It costs money, and is only in the UK. I would imagine considerably more time to get something like this here. And even if a company launched it (without some group getting wind of it), it could easily be recalled by the FCC (if they so desired).
This topic isn't talked much about, but I wonder (statistically) who would be calling the shots on doing operations like these. The higher ups? The board?

In other words... (and I'm getting a little OT) They know their software will work regardless of what Mac hardware it runs on. Joe-Random-People could care less about the hardware...they are used to their software.

Valid points about being a hardware company. But in making that point you underscore the second point about Linux.
Hardware and software are two different things.
People know OSX/Win9x/etc and don't want hassles of having to find some coder's page for drivers for something to make it work under Linux. They find a box that says "Windows" or "Mac" compatible and they know they atleast have some chance of getting it to work. They buy a clone Apple and they know it will support most Mac software.

Seriously, it's alcohol, it's a bottle, and it says Star Wars. People look to buy collectables they can relate to.
You realize that every fan and non-fan in the world just *has* to buy at least one bottle of this.

Could it be that the suits he always wore were simply "efficiency" in his eyes? Maybe he's more geek than you think.

Sure would help if the poster was a bit more descriptive for us not in the know.

I would argue the opposite in most cases:

I thought it was a great article. You can read inbetween the lines a bit and see the humor in many of his comments.
He's a CEO, not a governor in-the-running. I think his answers were suprisingly candid...and made for a good over read.

A quick search for "Password" doesn't yield any "promising" hacking results. It's too common a word.
