    There most certainly is a SuperDrive option for the iBook. Any of the 14" models can be ordered with a SuperDrive for $200 more. Check www.apple.com/store for details.

    No, but Apple sells a "family pack" which is a 5 license version for $199. A single use version is $129. They don't use registration numbers either.

    Yah, OS X uses parts of FreeBSD. The kernal is the mach microkernal though, different than BSD. But the majority of the "guts" are 'BSD.

    1. Go to jail 2. ??? 3. Profit! Pretty much sums it up. He's an entertainer, not a visionary. Now Woz is the opposite, who is a visionary, but also became an entertainer. ---- Poopies!

  10. Re:Not bad! on Google's Early Hardware · · Score: 0

    That does sound big. I didn't even know Google was around in '97. I certainly didn't hear about them until at least '00 I'd guess. Did they get their hardware setup before their search engine and web site was complete?

  11. Re:Long overdue FCC! on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 0

    Absolutely. Why can't people express their opinion without swearing? It's the quick n' easy, lame-o way to me. And if you need to be around swearing that bad, check out teh Intraweb.

  12. Re:Small ISP on Canadian Record Industry Presses ISPs in Court · · Score: 0

    Crap. Well, at least I used to "feel" safe. I suppose you're right. Of course, the chances of the CRIA going after an ISP this small seems pretty slim to me, but if they did, I'm sure they wouldn't put up much of a fight.

  13. Small ISP on Canadian Record Industry Presses ISPs in Court · · Score: 0

    This is one of the few times I'm happy to be with a small ISP. The service is crummy (I'm technically out of range) but the price is right for uncapped speed (3 Mbit) @ $40 mo. Plus I feel pretty safe from this legal battle (not that I've anything to hide that is).

    There's no way I'm going to pay a company so I can buy pay a company some more (for gas.) I'm one of those bitter people who doesn't like places like Price Club/Costco. This is about as ridiculous as buying clothes that promote other companies. You're paying them so you can advertise for them! Surely the people who pay for this watch will want one that matches their Nike ball cap, Gap slacks, Old Navy tshirt and Adidas shoes. Don't forget their Tommy boxers, hopefully they're not covered by their pants so they hang out and show the name. :/

    And they will get my business when/if I ever buy a PC. I'd think Intel would love for people to OC their chips to the point of destruction and then buy another one.

  18. Re:Question for Apple owners on Updated Power Macs at Apple.com · · Score: 1

    I've had my iMac since 1999 and I still love it. It has trouble with some of the modern games because of it's weak video card (Rage 128). I've though about upgrading, but my iMac still does 95% of what I need it for.
