I used to demo it regularly running GL teapot and about 6 movies, 12 mp3's, and another mp3 running backwards, and a couple little game/demo apps going. Dual p333 system.
Most of us uber BeOS geeks had dual CPU systems because BeOS took advantage of them so well. The entire OS was geared towards multimedia and user responsiveness. Even with all those things going on, when you clicked on a menu button, the menu would pop right up. No delay, even with all those other apps going. If you don't believe it, just find a copy of the free personal edition R5 demo.

I think you missed the highlighted part
completely unmarked
If the cat5 is ever unplugged from the mug (maybe after a few beers) you have an unmarked cat5 with some voltage that you might accidently plug into some other device, like your computer or laptop. Then the magic blue smoke appears....
The checks are entirely different. The banks are checking to make sure there is no fraud going on with someone else signing your name attempting to steal your money. They wouldn't care at all if you signed it totally differently as 'mickey mouse' as long as they knew YOU were the one doing the writing.
A union. Great.
Then we can be paid and promoted not for our skill, but for our seniority. What every geek dreams of.
We can make more money, which we can then turn over in union dues.
We can be out of work for unknown streaches of time when other union members get pissed off and decide to strike.
Tempting,... but, ah..... NO THANKS!
The Aqua interface is *the* significant chunk. Without it, you might as well just install FreeBSD or OpenBSD.
The reason OSX is cool is that it finally puts a nice GUI on a *nix. Without the GUI, it's just another *nix and we already have plenty that run fine on cheap x86 hardware, thank you very much.
As opposed to Mac OS up thru and including 9.x where the whole system would freeze for whatever amount of time you had the mouse button clicked....
It's all relative. And remember the discussion is about desktops. You may no like NTs stability, but it's desktop was much easier to use for 99.99% of folks than most *nix's of the time.
The poster was talking about those that the U.S. governmnet sent into war. You know, the same government that runs NASA. The Iraqi government may or may not have a dissimilar cuttoff point for acceptable risk.
Did you see that lava lamp computer case?
Like most computer geeks computers aren't hot enough already. Add 2 40-watt and one 30-watt light bulb to it....
I think overclocking is pretty much out of the question with that puppy;)

Customer safety be damned?????
Uhhh, HELLO!. They are banning them FOR customer safety. You know, so the plane doesn't crash, etc. That's kinda more important than playing solitare at 30,000 feet, don't ya think?
How's getting your email contributing to your safety?
Hmm, I need to go home and install a few inactive trojans (blocked by my firewall of course.
"But your honor. I didn't download all those illegal MP3's. It must have been that trojan installed on my computer!"

Wow, you can listen to 8 gigs of MP3's in one day at work? That must be a whale of a bit-rate you rip them in.
Well, for example. Liberia and Myanmar (Burma).

Wow, your just the role model we should all be taking life and career advice from then.
