    I was wanting pictures, PICTURES!!!! Not CGI renderings of plastic tranparent models standing on Mars damnit! I wanted a first hand look at a zero gravity moneyshot or at least a creampie! :)

  2. Re:Big releases on Does Linux Have Game? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not that I disagree, but how do you know Linux has greater marketshare than OSX?

  3. Re:How Bandwith is Important to Free Software. on Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    I had a feeling that this might be the case, not that I disagree however but MS can play the "free" game as well.

  4. How? on Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth · · Score: 2, Insightful


    This all seems to easy, how can MS fail and others succeed while in the same space, nobody would know the difference between a local peice of software or from an ASP?
    People only know through what they are given, if the content providers stay the same and continue to recommend the same, then how can Open Source gain a foothold, even already its free!
    Besides, MS may be slow but they are not stupid, they'll slowly adapt and we might be back at square one again.
    I don't like it when the future is trying to be predicted, there are too many variables.

    Before August 2001, in the spring of 2001. Colin Powell actually dismissed the same organisations that caused the 9/11 incident, funding was cut from various counter intelligence agencies as well.
    On your second point, the opposite was true, the easiest proof of this I can show you is within the first 30 minutes of Moores Fahrenheit 9/11 documentary. The government knew who and how.

    Btw, you are right on the second part.

    How can Clinton follow up on a security warning when he wasn't in office? It falls on Bush this time because he was given the information in August 2001. What is Clinton going to do?

    What if Bush had read those security warnings a month before 9/11, that might of helped?
    You'd be surprised, this was only proved otherwise when an undercover journalist (in the UK) managed to get a job as a simple cleaner and within a week plant a dummy bomb onboard a plane.

    You are right, we don't need better ID, not when the evil terrorists adhere to the current ID system without even trying to circumvent it, what you need is better proof checking.
    Inspecting the passengers, yeah, because it'll only be them, not any of the staff, there're angels.
    Security can't stop everything, it only limits the stupid people, not the determined ones.

    If this... if that.... The government certainly has you singing to their tune with the war on terror. Sigh.
    If terrorists were to attack, do you not think they would of done it by now? They'll certainly do it now, now that safeguards are in place. Besides, didn't the US remove the big terrorist powerhouse that was Iraq?
    Attacking a Supertanker would incur the wrath of other nations and private enterprises, why get them involved now, why give the US real allies which makes your life harder. Also if you had kept up to date on your Michael Moore, you would know the connections between the US government, the oil barons and the Bin Laden family...
    Oh, wait. I can hear a knock at the door. It's the feds, says I've been badmouthing the Commander in Chief.

    I'm only interested in the imac mini for my parents, I'd prefer a G5. If I have latched onto a buzzword then I wasn't aware and I'll be sorry for it, I watched this years WWDC and was under the impression that I needed a 64meg card for those features i'm interested in.

    I didn't mention their names on purpose, sometimes even saying them to some people who has never seen a mac puts a confused look on their face when you think something is as simple iTunes is easy enough to understand. In my experience, its best to just say "mp3 player", because thats about it when it cowes to the whole digital lifestyle.

    Don't get me wrong, I can see it's appeal as well, it's just got to meet joe users expectations. I'd buy one for my dad but I got him a second hand machine off the net instead.

    If thats the case then you are better off with the linux machine. The tone of your first post implied that you were being forced into buying a mac, of course your needs don't suggest this, stay with linux.
