I have the iMac G5 before yours. I wish I could add Front Row capability to it. Even with the impressive new Intel specs, it isn't enough for me to rop another $2k on a new machine. However, I'd love to have Front Row...

Both TFA and the/. post are slanted towards law enforcement agencies. There is nothing about the service or warning that shouldn't apply to everyone.
Depending on how paranoid you are, this information could be interesting. Worried about a partner cheating? Worried about your partner finding out? Worried your boss will find out you have frequent calls to your Cylon agent (or is she just in your head?) (Okay, the last one was a joke.)
But I wanted to make sure it was clear, this applies to everyone. Not just police.
I don't understand how Family Guy was re-lauched when Futurama wasn't. While I enjoy Family Guy, I think Futurama is an overall better show. The humor is more developed, the artwork is cleaner, and the concept is fun. Family Guy just feels like a dumber Homer Simpson combined with acid flashbacks. Which I do find funny, but not mroe than Futurama. Granted, I'd like to see Bender and Stewie in a cameo scene. From each show, they are my favorite (if not the best) characters.
I'm guessing that you were just making up a figure, but you picked a rather large one.
Consumer electronics has a failure rate between 3-5% (once in customer hands.)
You are comparing two completely different industries. The complexity of a computer system (in this case a video game system) is far higher than plastic injected into a mold. My apologizes for simplifying a plastic dashboard to that extreme.
Once an electronics product ships out the door, 1 transistor out of the millions inside the various chips can cause the entire system to fail. One solder ball out of the thousands can come loose during shipping and cause the entire system to fail. So no, 5% is not too large. It is industry standard for consumer electronics.
Interviewer: What was the first piece of 360 game software that you played that made you say: "Yes, that's it, that's what we were trying to accomplish"? J. Allard: Uh - well, in a way it hasn't happened yet, I would say.
Interesting. The most successful console launch ever, hasn't even impressed the guy who architected it.
Later on: These early games? They cut a lot of corners... but don't worry after knocking his own launch twice, But I still think it's the best launch line-up of any console ever. Of course he does!
I'd like to add (not necessarily reply), make it comfortable to try before you buy. What I hate about demo stands at most stores is that playing any of the games usually requires me to stand around. I play for about 30 seconds before walking away (and not buying anything.)
This is a known "feature." The article was even updated after people e-mailed them. Both the article and the MANUAL tell how to change the default privacy settings.
Okay the question is, what do you want to do with them? Are you using them for something sensor based? Then go with Zigbee. Are you interested in two intelligent devices sharing data, go with Bluetooth. Ask yourself what your application is and what technologies works best for it.
Honestly, there's no point to more than 2Ghz on a laptop..especially with a P4 or latest AMD chips. Way too hot, and way too much power usage.
Perhaps in your use-model there is no point, but not in mine. For example, I spent over 50% of my time with customers. When I'm in the office, it wouldn't make sense for me to use a different computer. So if I need to run a simulation, offline (from our equipment) protocol decoder, or copy a file (XP jab *grin*) I want my 2GHz. I don't mind only having full power available when I'm on AC.
So just because you don't see a need for something, doesn't mean there isn't one.
The voltage rails are not the problem, it's the current sourcing. USB will only source 500mA of current per port. Most 3.5in drives draw almost that much on the 5V rail for electronics. This is before the 1A need on the 12V rail, for motors.
I would not expect this to change. You have to download a binary recompiled for the PowerPC architecture that will use the data files from the original x86 disc.
The purpose of iTunes is to organize your music. It is not just a "player." If someone uses Apple's iTunes it is because they want to organize their music collection.
In your statement you make it sound like iTunes is a Microsoft product. Is that what you are implying or that Apple tries to organize information more than Microsoft? In which case, that makes no sense either. When did anything about Apple enter in this thread?

Good thing you didn't buy one of those Macs which aren't upgradable!
I heard if you want a faster CPU, you have to buy a new board, memory, video card/chip, and maybe even hard drives!
Just imagine, if you wanted to upgrade your video card! You'd have to get a new board, memory, video card/chip, and maybe even hard drives.
Oh wait. That's the problem you're having.
My favorite argument about Macs (especially iMac styles) are that they are not upgradable. Upgradability is a myth.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

How many laptops keep the PC-Card slot powered when the laptop is off?

Huh? What the fuck are you talking about in your post? Your post makes almost no sense. The only acrynomn you are missing is WTF.
There is no question to why your submission hasn't been accepted.
You meant the original PoP for Apple II, right?
SNES version came 3 years later.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the site being based on "MediaWiki".
Bleh. /me adds "PhoenixK7" to the list of people who should hit "preview" first.
Because it is from the company that provides Modem and :an ports.
.... let's not have 100 childish "what a surprise from Microsoft!" comments.

iTunes can minimize to the tray. I'm pretty sure the windows version also has a mini-mode.
I use it on a Mac.
