I wouldn't assume that most of the cars have summer tires - think most new vehicles come with all weather which are more than capable of handling a few inches of snow. Even ice if you take it easy and don't tailgate.
Google is your friend as is Apple IR. And from Wikipedia "Though the iPod was released in 2001, its price and Mac-only compatibility caused sales to be relatively slow until 2004." iMac was briefly a boon to the bottom line though without combing through the financials I couldn't say what else might have added to botttom line (tax credits, goodwill, who knows what).
is what Steam should have gone with if they insist on doing this venture (which I decidedly think is a solution searching for a problem). FreeBSD is good enough for Playstation and Sony seems to know what they are doing when it comes to consoles and gaming.
Sorry. My example is extreme (and arguably Godwinish and a false dilemma) but it is meant to illustrate my point: it should not just be up to parents to decide what children are taught.
You are too funny - you've just made my point for me! You can't possibly live in a situation where you (or your proxy, the government) did not have control over what I or my neighbor or anyone else does with our kids. Not to mention you clearly do not care for the right of associaiton either.
Are you German? Still suffering from fear of Nazis under the bed? Can't possibly have anyone reading anything written in that era! Bad words! Bad words!
I, unlike you, prefer to live in a country that is truly free and where people are prosecuted for actual crimes and not just thoughts which you, I or someone else may or may not agree with or consider "moral".
why? because it is better that the money be paid to a corporation who at least employees people, pays dividends to shareholders and in general boosts the economy.
what will happen if the govt "saves" the money by going to open office or some other free software? Well I can say with certainty that they will not return the money to the taxpayers. Instead it will fund more bureacracy and more government programs.

Apple was going no where with the iMac. The initial success (as far as the bottom line) faded pretty quickly. What happened in 2004? The iPod started to take off. And in 2008 the iPhone. Were Apple without those two products today it would at best be on life support and at worst be gone, assets and IP sold off in whole or parts.
The quote in question was intended to imply that all the other PC businesses went bust and vanished from the face of the earth. The business that IBM sold continued without interruption as Lenovo - it did not vanish or go bankrupt. And honestly, its comical for anyone at apple to talk about pcs as they have never broken 15% of the market and continue to this day to trend between 5 and 15% of the overall market.
Show me Apple's profits in personal computers please. Prior ot the iPod and later iPhone the company was on death's door because they could not stay afloat selling Mac's.
As to IBM going to Lenovo - Lenovo got assets not just a brand name sticker. And they have continued the primary product - Thinkpad's to this day and added new ones. Is Apple's product line up identical to what it was 10 or 20 years ago?
I do not see the problem with "public" money via vouchers going to schools that teach this subject matter. The parents have decided that they want their kids in these types of schools and either agree with or are willing to accept that creationism is also taught there. The problems the liberals have with vouchers is that it takes the decision making process out of government and union hands. The whole God thing is just a red herring.
a- get up to change the tv channel by turning a dial on the set b- that there were only 7 channels (9 if you count uhf) c- that some tv programs were in black and white d- that tv stations "signed off" the air and there was only static
this is just another example of government run amok - demanding (eventhough absent in the law) actions be peformed by a state certified professional. Want to cut hair? Better be state licensed! Want to do (fill in the blank) better make sure you are certified/licensed/blessed by your local, county, state and federal overlords.
If that is the case then the nannies at AST should simply approve the application as soon as they get it. I recommend that Virgin contact the ski industry to see if they can copy the disclaimer on every ski ticket purchased (in the US).
Back in the day..I bought a used Toshiba drive off Usenet from someone at a college in IL. Not home at moment so can't give the exact model.. mk120 maybe? I ran in a server for well over 10 years before I retired it due to capacity constraints - it was still spinning merrily along. It would be interesting to see these drive failure rates as a function of number of platters as well as density and over time.
DO NOT buy 5 identical drives at the same time from the same place and same manufacturer or face increased risk of more than one dying at (or near) the same time.
Also keep in mind that raid will not protect you from data corruption (or more correctly, it will assure that you retain corrupt data). The happiest event is when a drive flat out dies.
To each his own but X.0 releases in the BSD world are pretty stable things. Sure, wait a couple weeks just to be on the safe side but if there aren't any real horror stories then upgrade - 10.1 will not be around for some time. BSD is not like Linux - even point releases can be a year apart.
there was a time (very long ago) when it may have been justified to give monopolies to the local utility companies. That time is long past and legislation should be passed as necessary at the federal, state and local levels to phase those monopolies out over the next five years. But given that people vote for the same representatives who are bought by lobbying over and over again I don't hold out much hope.
I call bullshit. It is highly unlikely that a) their customers are uniformly distributed in that service area and that b) they actually provide service to the entire area.
The problem is that there *is no competition*. I spend part of the year in a very rural area in the north east with a 100 year old local phone monopoly. I pay $75/mo for 8/1 DSL (I'm forced to pay for a phone line included in that which I do not use). This company has actively fought to keep out larger companies by lobbying any locat, state and federal officials they can. Insult to injury, I can't call into this area from my primary home any more as my VOIP provider will not pay the 6c termination fee this local telco demands.
Rural service is undoubtedly a challenge but lets not cry too many tears for the local telecoms. They are as much a part of the problem as they are a solution.
I'm fairly certain that all the BSD's including OS X use a standardized login.c Though my money would be on there being some system related windows code that has been the same since the 90s.
guess they wish they had another fan? Those same fan boys want people to believe that we should pay a significant premium for "Apple build quality," yet there are more than enough stories like this one that show Apple build quality (and/or design) is not worth a premium over the likes of Lenovo, HP, etc. Of course, those same fanboys who would trash those companies if the failure was in one of their laptops will simply blame AMD and not Apple for this event.
"Problem is, if they do so this year a good number are going to OS X, Ubuntu, Chromebooks, etc. " Complete BS. People moving to OS X? Really? Show me the numbers. OS X (and prior Apple OS) have been stuck in the same share of market for decades. The peak at 15% floor at 5% and generally dick around 8%. As to Chromebooks - the NPD "study" is based on a relatively small sample of US distributors. It is not a sales number in any way. And I would love to see those Ubuntu sales figures.
Outside of business - where the issues have been well documented by others on this page - ordinary end users who are still using XP are doing so because they have no desire to upgrade their hardware. That might mean they love XP, their pc/notebook does what they want or simply they do not have the money for a new one. And anyone still using XP after all this time certainly has some loyalty to Microsoft.
While I did pay a fair amount for these two monitors back in the day, $700 seems a bit rich to do now. My desire is to maintain the same physical screen real-estate but at a 150dpi or higher resolution all in one screen.
Take away all hardware purchased/built prior to 2011. The longevity of hardware purchases is the real culprit. People no longer feel compelled to upgrade their hardware every three years (give or take). Outside of the gaming community and niche video/photo workers, what does the average person do on their pc that one from 2007 can't handle?

yes and that is the same business that existed from day one just with a different owner - it did not go away.
that her daddy and I had to:
a- get up to change the tv channel by turning a dial on the set
b- that there were only 7 channels (9 if you count uhf)
c- that some tv programs were in black and white
d- that tv stations "signed off" the air and there was only static
rotary phones were another issue

But on a more serious note... wtf? get money from Apple much? no android? And web sign on is spacebook or twitter only? Not.
