People are used to gasoline though. They have been programmed to not worry about it.
Hydrogen on the other hand is not something your average person has much knowledge of. So, being unknown, it's deathly scary.
That PC thing is a smart move. Even if they only pick up a marginal amount of people who don't have PCs now, they might buy a whole new PC later on when they get hooked on the INTARWEB!
I've been thinking and hearing about OGR for the 4 years since we started the project, and still have no idea what it is. I just let the math geeks understand, and I'll go on being blissfully ignorant.
Have you any experience on if you can take an image from a G5 and use it on a G4?
I've been toying with the idea of using BootCD to make some headless systems that boot from CD to take part in a distributed computing project. Take advantage of spare CPU cycles as the systems pass through my hands.
Here is my vision.
Insert DVD
Boot Mac
Without user input, boot up and start application.
Profit!
Optimaly, I'd have one DVD image for every mac. I have Powerbooks, G5s and G4s to deal with, so having one image that would work on all of them would be ideal. having 3 or more images might be annoying.
Politics are not important every 4 years. Politics is happenening every single day. There is generaly something a normal citizen can do every single day of their lives to help out the greater good, or help themselves with politics.
I say it stays.
Anyone who reads their web logs knows that there are all sorts of interesting people who are reading your blogs and sites.
My personal site gets all sorts of.mil traffic.
I just built a FreeBSD test machine this last week after months of not having any local machines not running WinXP. Installed WindowMaker not but 2 days ago.
It'll take me months to build up motivation to upgrade!
Yay for slacking!
You gave up on WindowMaker because there was nothing happening? Was there anything wrong with it, or was stale version numbers enough to get you to switch to a more exciting and version creeping window manager?:)

yeah, that pisses me off. Ignorant bastards.
Too them it is worse. The unknown is scary!

Good luck to all those NullSoft developers and staff.

yup, I'm the same dude. :)
Figured I ask both places and see what sort of answers I got.
- Insert DVD
- Boot Mac

But when I had one, I could have sworn it was browsable.
I like to ask people to step outside if they want to smoke, especially on the plane.
ooo, spiffy.
I thought most people had directory browsing and "drag and drop" down pretty well.
Guess not.
That show would be so boring, even the actors would fall asleep on the set!
What's worse, that he has a strong decision, or that he's more informed on the issue than most americans voting?

Vote early! Vote Often!
I read "Multiplayer" instead of "multilayer" and was very confused for a bit.
It's too damn early in the morning.
What? My blueprints aren't cool enough? Sad. . . . .
exactly!

I want will.travel. So I can IRC from have.mac.wil.travel !!!
I am sure you can build a $100 machine. But I think the big point will be, how long will it remain usefull? Not too long, I'm guessing.
More targets = more people taking aim.
If there are millions of Firefox users, the script kiddies and exploiters of the world will just change targets to this new popular browser.
Firefox will never be as bad as IE, but I'm sure most people would be surprised how bad it can get.
