i don't think i've ever seen them on sale, so they might not be for the "consumer", per se, but they've been out there.
the argument was about media players. going into the merits of operating systems is clearly beyond the scope.
my point was that winamp is cleaner and less chock-full-o'-crap than itunes--particularly on a windows machine. within that scope, you have several choices on which media players to use: windows media, itunes, winamp, foobar2000, musicmatch jukebox... your retort was to come in from way out in left field and say that macs are better.
no offense, but it certainly read like a fanboi retort to me. it's also precisely why i made the comment about confusing the operating system with the media player.
i have no doubt that itunes on mac os x is a wonderful program. on those machines, it's quite zippy, fast, and there's really no competitor--perhaps audion, but since that's now dead... however, that said, i'm still not quite a fan of it.
when you get to windows, it's awfully bloated, not very responsive, and does add useless services by default--like the ipod service. (incidentally, it loads it as well on a mac, even if you don't have an ipod...) i can only imagine how godawful the thing must perform in linux under wine...
when i use windows, i prefer to keep it as free of bloat as possible: hence, i turn most services off by default (you can do that, you know, with some tips from places such as blackviper's guide). because i eschew bloat, overburdening memspace, and a rather ugly interface, even for windows, i avoid crapware like itunes/windows.
leave it to a machead fanboi to assume certain things about other users and blindly try to convert others to their side by confusing a media player and an operating system.
admittedly, i've never understood the all-in-one idea, seeing as i'd much rather have the modularity of a separate box and monitor.
now, what gets me about this hip-e, and the imac g5, is that people seem to think that the flatpanel all-in-one thing is new, and even better, since apple made it...
which isn't the case, because gateway (a crap company, imho), had a model that was like that a few years back. sure, it was ugly, but... [ gateway profile ]
Also, I have two philosophical reasons for supporting this:
1. Small is beautiful, particularly when it comes to any sort of download. Even on broadband, I would rather get a 4mb patch as opposed to a 8mb patch. Not only that, but a 4mb patch would be a bit more portable. Also, why spend 30 minutes to get a patch which will modify one program that I don't use all that much when a compressed patch that takes 5 minutes will do the trick?
2. Linux is supposed to be "for the people". Open-source and all that. If it's free, for everyone, why not put the money where the rhetoric is, and do this for those even on dialup? Let others be exclusionary. Let open-source be open to everyone.
there's always the run for your frickin' life option, in which you tell her that you have a business trip somewhere, and then spend a weekend hepped up on coca-cola, pop-tarts, and pizza, sitting in front of your computer with your friends, an optical mouse, and a keyboard in a lan party in a cheap hotel room...
make sure that when listening to your subliminal tapes that you wear a foil-covered hat. the foil will reflect dangerous mind-altering radio waves that could potentially destroy any positive gain received from the subliminable messages.
add another application that stops working completely.
network associates' mcafee virusscan enterprise 7 is no longer able to automatically update because the mcafee framework service, although loaded, isn't loaded.
thus far, however, i haven't had a problem with intellipoint 5.
enderle has fallen even further in my esteem (if that were possible--)
while i realize that yes, branding, appearances, and design are important in the marketing of a device, i for one do not want to have something that plays a loud sound as i boot it up, especially in cramped confines like an airplane.
frankly, that laptop seems more style than substance, and it's a sad state of affairs when people pay more attention to style.
then again, it makes sense when imacs are all the rage instead of powermacs, when tina's boob is more talked about than kid rock's poncho, and when enderle is considered in the know.
unrelated to chinese. chinese uses the SVO order like english:
(subj) (verb/action) (object)
i go home
while japanese and korean share the SOV.
the reason why the subject is dropped is that as in japanese, the subject is frequently already understood and denoted in context by a sort of "topic marker":
na-nun chiberu kanda
i'm home going
finnish and hungarian are related in the finno-ugric language group, so share similarities; it's been suggested that korean and japanese also fall into a larger group, ural-altaic, which includes the finno-ugric group. the chinese languages are all in the sino-tibetan group.
1. it's suhbitches. that's the way it's pronounced.
2. people who don't know how to remove spyware after asking friends probably don't know they have it, and so won't call dell.
3. people who do know about spyware will generally know the tools to get rid of it.
4. people who actually are vigilant about their privacy and security will reformat and install their own os on their computer anyway, making this a moot point.
600k skorean troops stare across the dmz, all funded by the skorean government. they spend 4% of their gdp on defense, which totals to several billions in defense...
30k american troops nearby, funded by the american government and who don't have to pay rent on the land they use.
skorea's rich. when you're one of the 15 largest economy in the world...
actually, they do fully fund their own military with close to 4% of their gdp, which is a greater percentage than japan, which only uses 2%. japan is also the second largest spender on defense in the world; korea is not too far behind.
besides, their military is already the 6th largest, and the american troops there are, no offense, no more than a speed bump.
unless you think somehow 30k americans can do more than 600k active duty koreans with over 4million in reserves...
skorea's rich. let them spend their money how they choose.
this 100mbit connection is not for the network backbone.
south korea's network backbone is already in the gigabit range:
http://stat.nic.or.kr/network/m/2002/06.html (flash)
http://isis.nic.or.kr/english/sub03/sub03_index.ht ml
although it's written in korean, the four things you see in the center are the national switches which also connect korea to the world.
this 50-100mbit connection is planned to be the average connection for the home user; average, in a country where the basic connection is around 2mbit. this does not preclude private companies from offering faster home connections.
it may surprise you, but south korea is a rather modernized first-world nation. there are far too many cellphones, computers, cars, apartments with broadband connections, processed foods, televisions, radios, superhighways, paved roads, the whole country is electrified, has land lines, several airports, a modern banking system...
don't confuse modern south korea with backwards north korea. just because you see that all koreans still farm with bulls instead of tractors, as evidenced by that recent james bond movie, doesn't mean that it's the truth.
although i won't have kids for a long time, i think a tech-savvy parent could set up a home network and funnel all the internet connectivity through one computer which has a firewall and other such things...
they'd have to run it as a server, i think, but they could check the logs to see if any "educational" sites have been accessed.
i run an elementary school network of about 200 computers, all on winxp. because of the entire spyware thing, i've had to lock it down much more than i want--all activex controls are disabled if you're not an administrator. most scripting is also turned off.
it sucks, too, because some of the education websites out there for the kids don't work anymore--
but it's better to have a few not work than to bring down the whole network with broadcast storms.

it doesn't matter because Samsung's Korean, and LG.Philips is majority owned by the Korean company LG.
wonderful case in point to how assumptions work.

*cough*
my default box uses gentoo
when i use windows, i prefer to keep it as free of bloat as possible: hence, i turn most services off by default (you can do that, you know, with some tips from places such as blackviper's guide). because i eschew bloat, overburdening memspace, and a rather ugly interface, even for windows, i avoid crapware like itunes/windows.
leave it to a machead fanboi to assume certain things about other users and blindly try to convert others to their side by confusing a media player and an operating system.
winamp does the same thing for me, and doesn't take up as much memspace.
oh, and it also has really nice features which itunes doesn't have... like NOT LOADING services i don't need into memory.
its, not it's.
actually, it was my understanding that the graphics of COH are opengl. it's everything else that isn't.
admittedly, i've never understood the all-in-one idea, seeing as i'd much rather have the modularity of a separate box and monitor.

There are plenty of people with dialup remaining.
Also, I have two philosophical reasons for supporting this:

i never much liked linspire anyway, but hasn't it already shown that as a company, it's somewhat lacking in creativity?
wait until the script kiddies get a hold of it... it might be fun.
make sure that when listening to your subliminal tapes that you wear a foil-covered hat. the foil will reflect dangerous mind-altering radio waves that could potentially destroy any positive gain received from the subliminable messages.
the tin foil brigade.

that 96% of the known world doesn't seem to include the 80% of the american people five years ago who thought it was part of africa...
