Once fueled by Canadian ingenuity (and an old german rocket design), Canada's entry in the space race is now powered by faded dreams, bankruptcy, and lucky number seven!
That's right, we're powered by the online casino goldenpalace.com. One particularly enthusiastic Canadian space race supporter jumped off a diving board at the Olympics wearing a pink tutu to draw further support for the program. If only we could get goldenpalace.com to support our olympic athletes. 12 medals total. blech.
It's too bad the British don't exert such rigorous standards over their press and government.
ie. What sexed-up war? I mean, no-one has DISPROVEN the claim that Iraqis were capable of launching chemical weapons against the UK within an hour's notice...
This, my friends, is a parody of a genuine Troll. The joke is on you, you didn't get it. Good on you, AC. The only thing more annoying than a real troll are those who respond to one.
Ahh, of course, because this tactic worked so well for the Napster users and other file-sharers being sued now...
"The fact that no one ever reads them will make a good case for them being invalid..." If this were the case, all that would be required for the overturning of a law is mass law-breaking. Not an especially well thought out legal perspective IMHO, and would hardly the kind of society I would like to live in.
Oh, but then, I'm in Canada.
The more aggressive U.S. posture has little to do with the guy in the White House. It is a result of 9/11. Democrat or Republican, after an event like 9/11, the war will be taken to the enemy, and their support infrastructure, and fought on someone else's territory.
And the war will be taken to the polls, and to Wall Street, and to your civil liberties, to your government coffers...you will be made mindless and blind by your success in toppling a government that never attacked you, and was never a serious threat. And you will do this to hide the scope of the problem that faces you. And your ignorance to this situation will cause your democracy to suffer.
What good is education and health care if extremists can come in and unravel it all?
What good is living if we are doomed to die? What good is saving money if we bill collectors and the taxman is going to take it? What good is marriage if your spouse can leave you?
Why is it that the people who troll a mac thread are the laziest trolls to be found? I mean, this is a nice attempt at an update to an old troll post, but essentially the content is the same. This guy and the guy with the obsession with posting the pedophile-macuser stuff have absolutely zero creativity, imagination, or drive. Really, with SCO and the Dept. of Homeland Security out there spreading some serious, quality FUD, and this guy still thinks he can hang with this cut and paste job? FUD has never been more competitive than it is now: I give this troll two thumbs down.
Yeah, yeah. Add 120GB hard drive, firewire, firewire 800, optical audio in and out, a fricking Pioneer DVRA05, PCI-X slots, AGP 8x, dual-head video card (dvi, dvi), and a full movie editing and dvd-authoring solution...and adobe's albulm software (to match iPhoto). Oh, and also try to stick 8GB of RAM in the Dell. And to be fair, also put XP Professional on the machine.
For crying out loud, if you can't afford a Mac, keep it to yourself and buy a Dell. And don't give me any more of this "in this economy" B.S.. People are still buying brand new gas-guzzling SUV's "in this economy."
Certain NASA labs use a large amount of Apple hardware, and I'm sure the machine is a demo unit. We may get a demo here at the UofA ECE dept, too. ie. the machine wasn't purchased.
really, do you think NASA's in on some conspiracy to hype Apple hardware? Good grief. I couldn't imagine any business, but a benchmarking business, approving an order for a bunch of new hardware solely for the purpose of conducting some mythical-the-truth-is-out-there, guaranteed, unbiased benchmark. There's nothing interesting about the choice of processors. It's what was lying around when the demo came in, fool.
Plus, add cooling system with self-regulating fans that automatically adjust to accommodate the temperature of each specific region they cool, and make sure you keep the db level as low as the new G5. Oh, and don't forget to add firewire 400 ports, firewire 800 ports, USB 2.0, optical audio in and out, analog audio in and out, dual-head support (dvi for both to be fair). And tell me how much luck you have putting each of those Xeons on their own 1000mhz bus.
Interesting complaint. I never noticed this myself, so I hit cmd-n about ten times in Safari to try to replicate the problem you experienced. Good news: I found a fix/work-around.
All you have to do is pay attention to the windows and notice which one is covering the others. The window in front, is in front of all the others. It even casts a shadow on the windows below it!
Because, the story is about a Live CD for Gentoo, and specifically designed for Apple Hardware, dumb-ass. Add to that the fact that the CD came into existence in response to a post in the Apple section a week or more ago. And no, the Apple people don't mind having linux talk in their section, barring having to put up with stupid comments like yours.
I love being called an idiot by a person who can't spell simple words correctly, or construct a grammatically simple sentence, or even a logical argument.
Strange thing is, if he's correct, then he ought to be sitting in front of an iMac right now...
The WTC was actually designed to withstand a hit by a jumbo-jet, just not by the kind that brought it down. You see, that plane had yet to be conceived. I can assure you, if the same plane hit the Empire State building the results there would also be catastrophic.
Most Americans don't think that just because someone is a foreigner that they are a terrorist, up to no good, or are a drag on the economy. Certainly, they have some fear of people of middle-Eastern descent, but you can't really begrudge them that, due to the current state of things. It isn't to say that we should be afraid, but if you get bitten by your neighbor's dog, you're bound to be a bit wary of your neighbor and dogs in general for a while, especially if you see them regularly going after each-other's throats.
How ironic that you use a dog attack as an analogy in order to speak in defense of racist practices that underscore American ignorance about cultures that lie outside of the black/white cultural dichotomy. If Apu on the Simpsons were a Cotton-Picker lazing about in a cotton-patch, would you still find the show funny? Take a look at how many episodes of SNL use 'brownface' to achieve comedy. This, of course, is just the media side of things...meanwhile, the US government has asked all people of middle-eastern descent (and since when does India support Al-qaeda?) to voluntarily 'register' themselves with INS. Many, including one former Canadian (now a US citizen) I saw interviewed, are detained without charge and subjected to interrogation until they have satisfied their captors that they are not terrorists in waiting, or alternatively, are simply deported back to their country of birth without a hearing or access to legal representation (this happened to a Canadian Citizen on business trip to the US; his family has not heard from him since he was detained at a US airport; US officials deported the man to Syria and will not expand on the case). Until the American government realizes that civil human rights are just that--rights--and are not revocable, you have a greater problem than simply not being "globally conscious"; you're not even "nationally conscious" so long as you treat your own citizens as barely-tolerated guests from a region of the world bent on the destruction of "The West".
Hey, if it's going to be newer, more expensive, with very little increase in speed, what's the point?
Uhh, besides that, I'd be willing to bet most manufacturers will just say "screw it", and give their cards the full speed anyhow, standard be-dammed.
I predict apple will be the first to say "screw it", given how many laptops they've now sold with "Airport Extreme" (aka 802.11g) cards. Then again, we mac users have been buying products that are "more expensive, with very little increase in speed" for a long time now.:)

Anyone remember the story of his Segway crash? Take a look at http://www.google.com/search?q=Bush+segway&ie=UTF- 8&oe=UTF-8 to jog your memory.
So, I wouldn't call it a wheelchair replacement. Despite the machine's clinical look, a walker still might be a better choice.

Uhhh, don't know about you, but my desk is a mess of cords thanks to my pc's too few USB in the back, and USB in front instead.
See that hole in the arm? Thread all your cords through that and it should keep things neat for you.

The Caldera logo beside the post also looks like a silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head on a red globe. I think I smell another copyright lawsuit.
No good for me. I can never remember where I put my car keys or my wallet. And that's in my real house.

10.2.7 is the OS the G5s will ship with. No, it's not out yet, but neither are the G5s. Get it?

Here's a newsflash for you, nimrod: if yer buying an iBox, yer not buying an iMac. Ergo, you are not an Apple customer.
The real irony is that apple has used G3 IBM chips for a long time. The move to the 970 ain't no thing. BTW, the new enemy is Microsoft--read a paper.
Because, the story is about a Live CD for Gentoo, and specifically designed for Apple Hardware, dumb-ass.

My abacus is more stable than your NT 4 Pentium Pro 200 box. And it does its tasks waay faster. Therefore, my abacus owns your box.
