I just bought a Macbook, my opinion of OS X was formed from running it on "hackintoshes". I found that #3 is correct, but they don't try very hard. For example I had tiger running on a 2.4 celeron acer something or other from work and a homebuilt 3500 Athlon64. I did have trouble with drivers and had to fuss around finding nics and sound cards that worked and I never did get 3d acceleration, however if you purpose built a machine with known working hardware (see the hackintosh wiki) you wouldn't have these problems. I never tried getting software updates.
You seriously mean that there are guys with masters that can't say that you just incremented the value that was on top of the stack and returned? I'm really asking, because if that's the case, I'm going to next ask if your company is still hiring? (you said you'd just sat in in an interview). I have a BS in CS from 2002, and have just been laid off my current job. I'm currently in Canada, though I will relocate
Since finishing school, I've only been able to get low paying fixing PC type jobs because every time I get an interview it's some PHB asking stupid questions about mail merges and the like in Word and no CS questions. ("Quick, without peeking, draw the boxes and indicate which buttons you press when adding a new mail account in outlook 2002 assuming you are looking at a bare desktop." was the worst).
In addition to CS, I'm also an active HAM and have built several things including a variable power supply that would power your atmel IC board. Additionally, I am taking a correspondence electronics tech course in my spare time to supplement the 2 electronics classes I took with my degree.
I know, you're probably not currently hiring, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
Many newer Dell desktops use BTX, in fact we have a dimension 5150 in the shop now that does. But then only intel uses it and it never seemed to catch on with the homebrewing crowd, so it doesn't surprise me that you didn't run across it when you built your pc.
In the pictures it's 30.5 * 24.4 cm, that doesn't seem that small. I had a mini-itx board that was 17*17 cm. Didn't have as many expansion slots though.
I never said a private company was better (I don't have one, I'm from Canada), I'm just saying that trusting the government to be more altruistic than them is not a good idea.
Can you linuxheads ever go 5 minutes without calling something FUD? Sheesh, all I did was ask how well it worked, I didn't say it wouldn't. Are you that thin-skinned that you need to perceive everything as an insult?
black macbook (std build): $1649
# 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
# 1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM
# 160GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
# SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
# intel gma 950
So for slightly less money, you get a machine with a slightly inferior graphics card, but arguably better software (I guess a moot point if you're going with linux). Anyways, my point is that for some configs, the price isn't that different between dell and apple at least.

Well, I for one have been thinking about getting into anatomy as a hobby...

I'm a genXer and I've only done coke once, you insensitive clod!
Don't you mean a brute force solution?
usb->serial converters never work.

It works great, I've done it many times without problem.

So you are saying that tv shows should be 72h/3 = 24 hours? Personally I can't stand watching for more than 2 hours at a stretch.
I never said a private company was better (I don't have one, I'm from Canada), I'm just saying that trusting the government to be more altruistic than them is not a good idea.
Yeah I'm sure the government is totally clean and uses all tax money altruistically for us citizens.
You were talking about this guy being a prick and then you say things like that. Perhaps it does take one to know one after all.

I believe that pocket is for a watch not change/lipstick.

Really? Most people go the other way around. What laptop/linux combo are you using and how well does it work?
I never made any such statement. Do you have me confused with a grandparent poster?
Yes, I disagree. I think you used 1 too many question marks, as I don't understand what your question really is.
read what the politically incorrect guide to islam says about dhimmis. they were basically a servant class.
Don't you mean a rib?
Fix it once, support it the rest of its life. Shouldn't you be able to visit a friend without doing something for them?
If you do it, you should post a write up about it and compare it to the microwolf.
If you're buying blank media at all, you might as well use p2p cause our government charges us for it.
Well now that depends. I just checked the dell and apple websites and here is what I found: (canadian $)
dell xps 1330: $1729

# 1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM
# 160GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
# SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
# intel gma 3100
