I love my Mac, I have a Mac Mini, and it suits me well. They are nice little machines. Actually, the shift to *nix was what got me. I knew if I had probs, I could fix them the old-fashioned way. Not always an option, but usually. (I even caught myself asking myself "What the hell did I expect?" after doing a 'man stepmania')
Not quite, I'd probably be considered a Mac Nerd. You never hear from us because we (Well, I) hate most Mac users. I love OSX, but I'm tired of everyone who has an orgasm every time they see a Macintosh. Computer = a tool. Computer != a religion. It's usually not important enough to talk about. I don't know what it is about the less common operating systems, but they seem to attract the asses. (Free/Open/DietBSD etc. seem to be immune to this, not sure why.)
Or that it didn't occur on the forum. Why should I prove it? This argument isn't important anyway. Assume I'm lying, that's what you want to do anyway. Wasn't trying to light a wild-fire here.
Thank you, but it doesn't matter much, I've moved on. As the problem involved a network issue, apt-get was not an option. I tried to search the page but with little to no luck. This was some time ago, by the way.
I remember asking for the source for the kernel included wit Ubuntu, I was flamed into oblivion for not just accepting kernel.org. I said Ubuntu wasn't being compliant, and that I didn't want the vanilla kernel, I wanted the EXACT kernel included. I was told to fuck off. (This was by an admin, or mod, or whatever, I don't remember). Needless to say, I no longer am worried about getting it, or anything to do with Ubuntu.
Extremist != annoying people. Michael Moore, Stallman, Anne Coulter, etc. ar all people that cannot be used to fairly criticize a group. I'm speaking from experience, and this isn't a scientific journal or anything, I don't have to provide proof, it's an opinion. Anyway, it's no longer worth debating this.
Most of those who aren't like that are like me, and don't associate themselves with the crowd. I never said all, so I don't see why you feel the need to jump on the defensive personally. I do find it ironic that one of the most laid back, pragmatic people in the Linux crowd is Linus himself. By the way, I don't count Stallman in the group. You can't blame a whole group for the loud extremists.
I had friend who used this. He tried to save it as HTML and it blocked it. The he tried saving it as plain-text and his compute locked up. He finally tried to save as a PDF, and clippy jumped out and stabbed him in the face. Wait, no, none of that happened. (I even made up the "I had a friend who used this" part.)
Why license your stuff anyway? Who is going to have such a large volume of people trying to reproduce their material that getting emailed requests would be too burdensome? And in cases where it is, you might as well just do it manually, as it's obviously worth it to you. I only see this bloating documents unnecessarily with license text from the F/OSS crowd. I'm all for Open Source, and I think it's noble. I've used Linux, and I use it (Knoppix/DSL) often for fixing simple issues easily (fdisk, cfdisk, etc.) when the Windows way to do it would be a pain. I use OSX, and I love it. The truth is though, if you use Linux/OSX, I probably won't like you. Most of the F/OSS crowd is an angry, belligerent, and or annoying bunch, and I think that's holding them back. Imagine how many people would just be annoyed by the license text at the bottom of every document from that hairy guy from IT.

Until all those freeipod sons of bitches start using google ads and only have to pay when someone (dumbass) actually bites, heh. I've seen all kinds though.... (Hell, I got a "foe" on slashdot because of the freeipods thing. I added "Want a free ipod?" in my signature, and linked it to my journal where I basically said steal one an leave everyone else alone. Apparently [slashdot.org] doesn't give anyone a hint...)
I'm not arguing the obvious. Yes, native code is going to be faster, assuming same code quality. They will not be more than two orders of magnitude difference. If the difference is a factor of 200, chances are something is wrong. That's hardly "The nature of the beast".
The more expensive model was in much higher demand because of this. Desperate people who wanted to pay for the higher spec system had to settle for the cheaper one.
Maybe you sucked at writing C. I can't imagine that huge of a difference in performance unless you really just did something wrong. That could include choosing a bad thing to benchmark (Maybe something that triggered a compiler bug?).
Endless chain? The chain kinda ended, actually.... GBA Micro won't play GBC and lower. Likewise with DS. I predict anything after DS won't play GBA. DS compatibility is suspect also, unless the next step just uses the same (Basic) form factor cartridge. (Maybe have some little thing on the side that's just to prevent it from being inserted into a DS).
My theory is that because this comment was so high up there, it influenced tagging. That was my intent at least;-). I can personally debunk (With no proof whatsoever) the perl script theory. At least not from the OP (me). I was shocked to see the tag there, actually, haha. I didn't think it would ever get tagged enough to make it to the top.
If you don't believe that I'm the OP, don't bother replying. Nobody cares.
Incoming calls are always free (Though if you want to get them from land lines, you need to pay for a phone number). The people calling you have to pay long distance if the number you chose is long distance to them, but you can select a number with no regard to where you physically reside. If you are travelling from the USA to Chile, for example, it would be a good idea to get a USA number so your friends back home could make a local (Or at least domestic) call, which would be free for both of you.
One of Skype's biggest perks is cheap international calling. Submitter sucks, should have put that in the summary. It's in the fucking article's title, fps.

How about you compare it to other computers, rather than just other things.
If my elected officials start saying X is cheap compared to the space shuttle, war in Iraq, etc. I'll shoot them.
I am a Mac user. They are not cheap. This one is not cheap. (Incidentally, mine was cheaper.)
Still wasn't cheap.
Dell is cheap.
I dunno, I've never run into them. To be fair though, I don't read the BSD section. Most BSD issues are of little interest to me.
oops, last minute "HTML is gonna fuck up < >".

You need to brush up on your spelling skills. I cant decide if I should bait this so someone can correct me.... Gotta keep it going.

No, just the factor of 200 can't possibly be attributed to only one factor.

Good phone cards to Asia that beat Skype are hard to find. And Skype is way easier.

You are correct. I was thinking of the S-DD1. I've been out of the loop for a long, long time.
