Seriously, when they made the announcement, we were like, are they kidding? They talked about how they could handle it. Lines opened at 10 am, at10:00:12, you couldn't access the site. I think they said they had sold about 400 tickets before the server exploded? Wow. First world series Colorado has ever seen. Thanks for making us look like assholes.
And I speak for most americans when I say-
There are two groups of people in America. The people who live here, and the mega corporations who run it.
Please don't lump the two together,

Wait, wasn't sony buying apple? No wait. Disney was buying apple. No, crap. Pixar is buying disney. No that's not it. Microsoft bought apple back in '95! No, that's not right.
I agree with you. Direct comparisons are difficult. One reason is my lack of knowledge of Dell models and what they encompass. I basically looked for the first Core Duo model I could find.
And then you can add the small stuff. iLife, iSight, etc. And then the inherent values: no viruses, malware, (yet:)) dual booting windows and so forth. I don't think a direct mac to pc comparison will ever be rock solid. There's too many other variables.
And I agree about the discounts dell offers. They are usually pretty decent.
Just built me a Dell online and matched up the specs as closely as possible. Here's what I made:
Latitude D620:
Intel® Core(TM) Duo T2400 (1.83GHz) 667Mhz Dual Core
Operating Systems:
Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition, SP2, with media
LCDs:
14.1 inch Wide Screen WXGA LCD Panel
Graphics:
Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Memory:
512MB, DDR2-533 SDRAM, 1 DIMM
Hard Drives:
60GB Hard Drive, 9.5MM, 5400RPM
Optical Drive - Modular:
24X CD-RW/DVD w/ Cyberlink PowerDVD(TM)
Wireless LAN (802.11):
Dell Wireless(TM) 1390 802.11g Mini Card
Bluetooth:
Dell Wireless® 350 Bluetooth Module
I assume that a "mini card" with regards to wireless is a plug in thing? I'm pretty sure it would say internal if it was built in, but some one who knows more about Dell can correct me.
Total Price: $1466.00 or 1216.00 after instant rebate.
where the 13 have been charged with computer trespass, an offense state law defines as altering computer data, programs or software without permission.
Isn't that the very definition of spyware/adware/malware? How come than we nail these kids, yet let big corporations go right on ahead?

Not to be a jerk, but why is Jack Thompson/teh US Government responsible for raising your kids? Shouldn't you be doing that?

I'm so confused.

That one is cheaper. 1208, and 908 after rebate.
But then the addition of iSight, iLife, Windows XP Home rather than professional, widescreen, etc. comes into play.
I think this finally shows that apple laptops can be very competetive price wise.

They prevent the spread of windows viruses to their windows using friends and coworkers.
Macs way be immune to windows viruses, but they can still pass them along.
Yeah. Have you ever used WMP for the mac?
Is that where all the good free porn is?
Not all, but why limit your porn choices?
Ahh. Just saw that. Rock on.
Now I have to actually pay for the ability to watch crappy windows media?
It's a good thing I never click on any ads then.
95% either in favour of the change, or too lazy or self-involved
You spelled "favor" wrong.
No way. They're probably in tears right now.

Depends on wether slashdotters just read the headline, or take time to read the article. I'm thinking it's not the latter.
Ultimately, he concluded, parents, not government or industry, must be the gatekeepers of what comes in the home.
Why should parents raise their kids when the government is happy to do it?

Just like it doesn't matter what car you drive, or what golf club you want to use.
Yes it does. It changes how many chicks I get and how far I whack my balls.
Fuck, I used all of my mod points on a dupe story a little while ago.
