Actually, it would probably done like hospitals are done. Even if you say that you can not pay, they still are required to treat you to the best of thier abilities, regardless. I can't imagine this being any different.
This of how many FX/ 9800's it will sell. I am waiting to buy a new computer until that comes out.
If students are wasting time building robots....

We need some enterprising company to make a cheap, programmable, and durable robot. Imagine if we had a blank slate that could be written to easily. What if it could run linux? It should be open source, if at all possible, and documented to facilitate easy development. They could become quite pervasive if made simple and cheaply enough.
I like to see companies piggybacking new technologies onto existing infrastructure. That guy who was trying to cover the nation will fail because he has to set up nationwide infrastructure, whereas Verizon has a space in most cities.
In addition, payphones are probably already laid out through the city to provide optimal reception (payphones have to occur at certain places and every so often). Also, not having to rent out new space in Manhattan is worth its weight in gold. The cabling is already in place, they just need to add a $30 piece of hardware to the top, and they'll probably use a large antenna to ensure a decent line of sight. The only thing left is to make them tamper-proof (fortress router anyone?).
It means a shared disk for memory and storage. Think a 40 gig partition for RAM(leave all programs running all the time), and then the rest for storage(a lot of porn).
It is sad to see that you look at a technology and only see what could be wrong about it. Every piece of knowledge has the power to be used for good or evil, not just this. Fo example, knowing how to blow up a building might help a potential criminal pull off the technical aspect of blowing it up, but the police officers investigating use the knowledge of how to build a bomb to seek out the places where he got his materials, and in general, where to start thier investigation. In fact, the final exam for a high-level government bomb-squad school, is to build a bomb, detonate it, and then investigate each other. I saw this on the Discovery channel a while back, so I can't remember what school it was though (Maybe ATF?).
This would be a really good app for someone to make, given how well OS X integrates with.Mac. Someone could hook up XServes, and distribute the disk space evenly amongusers. Over a corporate lan, this would work seamlessly. Especialy, if you could have people with priveleges patch things, like adding important dates to the calendar, a unified database for sales rep, etc. Apple really should consider this.
Quadras work really well, especially for hypercard. It is stupid for them to upgrade to a low-end system and be running flash all over the place though.
I had a Quadra 660Av Mac. It lasted from 1994, until I had a flood in my basement earlier this winter. That was the best computer I ever owned. I did all my papers for school on it because MS Word 7 > MS Office XP, and I had a laserwriter. Now that that is dead, I have to buy a new Mac, cause they last forever.
Think of a Sony Clie with A 1 gig memory stick,which is just about to come out. The $800 model can record MPEG-4 Movies with sound. How is the MPAA fight that? The tools of piracy will get harder and harder to detect, and then one day, we will just be able to scan the experience from our brains into MyLifeBits. At thatt point, our brains will be circumvention technologies, and the government will force us to kill ourselves. Imagine, you go to see a movie, and then you get a cease and desist letter for having watched it!!!
You seriously think that the US govt would allow powerful encryption to be built into all computers without having unfettered access for itself?
*slaps previous post, he/she wakes up*
The US govt would never let a oil supply be so big that it itself could attack a sovereign nation for it. Same for OS's and encryption.
What are you talking about? New mice and keyboards are not here. They have not been seen within 300 miles of here. That's assuming that they even exist, which they do not!!
I like Mac OS X. I hate how it is a stable and well-organized OS though. Maybe M$ is finally making the perfect OS: The one you will never own! It will own you and your computer! It will require you to prove to Microsoft that you are allowed to install software on your computer! Watch what happens when you put in a DVD or try to play an Mp3! MS will surely make Longhorn a DRM circus.
Thats a good point. That might be a good ground to challenge the laws based on anti-trust rulings. Remember when the courts ruled that the telephone companies could not dictate what phones you could use, because it was anti-trust or something.
Try to fake having illegal Mp3's on a box that I buy that has never ever had illegal stuff on it( I will have to buy a new cpu for this!), then wait.... When the RIAA comes, I will keep my log files running, and then afterwards, I will log into the internet fraud complaint center, and give them my log files. Then I will be yelled at for proving the stupidity and greed of a group of corporations. At that point, I will begin to walk into houses to see if they have any of my stuff.
I think I heard somewhere that 120 degrees is the point where aluminum gets pliable, and after a while, picking it up after running it for a while can cause some slight bends. I haven't heard about the 17 incher having problems, but that is probably due to the huge amount of surface area on it.
Summary:The 12in is so small and powerful, that this pushes the aluminum to the edge. If anyone has any metallurgy experience, please shed some light on this.
Not even 9mm. An Ak-47 uses 7.62x39mm ammo, which would tear through the iBook like tissue paper. Let's just say that an iBook could withstand some serious abuse. The most ballistic protection it can afford is from a bb gun that has only been pumped five times.
In the Declaration of Independence, it says that the only purpose of a legitimate government is to protect the rights of its people. Therefore, the U.S. government is not being "legitimate" right now. Serioulsly though, the biggest terrorists are the ones trying to take are personal liberties away because of some vague threat, some idea of dissent. "To criticize your country is to give a hearty handshake and pat on the back" said one guy whose name I can't remember, but it sure is true.
Obviously they aren't very upgradeable. That's what happens when you put laptop guts in a small, cute, and ever-so huggable computer. That's why the iMac has a GeForce 2go gpu.
You are right sir. Thier EULA precludes you from using your computer in the way you want (May not be used as webserver or fileserver). So, installing apache is an EULA breach. Installing KaZaa is a breach. M$'s EULA should definitely be illegal.
If thier lawsuit destroys the economy, do you all want to get in on a class action lawsuit for suing the RIAA and thier investors. We'll all be rich, rich as Saudis!
The RIAA will glady accept the installment of Jack Valenti as absolute dictator in lieu of cash. Just imagine: Shity music being forced you by an oppressive govt. which then charges you for listening.

You are right, emergency taxation usually hurts revenue.

I'm sure the RIAA wants to get even with 95% of people who run Windoze and think the DMCA is an excercise gym.
Even hackers need to eat and drink bawls!!!
