OK, so I love my Mac, but why on earth would you try to use a Mac in a PC environment where you develop apps specifically for PCs? I would love to use a Mac at work, but I need SAS 8.2, so that's not an option. Macs are great, but maybe a PC would be best for PC-oriented tasks?
I love the drawer in Mac's Mail program. It keeps all of my folders and email accounts right at my fingertips. Since I leave it open all the time, I don't have the issue with it popping out the side of the screen, though.
What if manufacturers start reporting their drive sizes in binary? Then that 120 GB hard drive is approximately 1110000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000 bytes (base two). i.e. 1.11 * 10^36 bytes i.e. 1.11 GmB. (Gummibytes, not SI approved, see Metric prefixes)
That's the exact same story. It came through Reuters.

Yet, as of this moment, I haven't heard about a single case of writers and book artists complaining about the copying of their work on the internet.
You forgot about Stephen King's little foray into the electronic publishing world. He gave it up because people would pay the $SMALLAMOUNT for each chapter.
You're still allowed to burn your tracks to CD for personal use, right? So just do that before you leave. I like having copies of my mp3s on CD anyway, just in case I have any computer problems.
I didn't mean it costs $44 to make a record, that's ridiculous. What I meant was that for a mere $40 you can try one more outlet for your music. It would only take $44 in revenue from that source for it to pay for itself.
You'd only need to do $44 in sales to recoup your investment. Of course that assumes that you really get to keep 91% of revenue. What about Apple's cut, if you get on iTunes? Does that come out of their 9%?
I'll add praise for my Netgear MR314. No problems with it at all. Occasionally I had problems getting a connection with my Netgear MA401 PCMCIA card in my Compaq Presario laptop (I would have to eject the card and reinsert it), but now that I have a Mac G4, I haven't had any problem connecting, and I even have better signal strength than before. Long story short, my Netgear wireless router is great, the Netgear laptop card not so much.
You forgot to divide by the number of people. You're exactly right in your second sentence. Companies count man-hours, so you would contribute 8 accident free hours for every shift you worked.
they've still got a lot of work to do. $0.05 per share isn't much profit. That being said, I think things might be going in the right direction this time. Apple has always innovated, but the problem has been mass appeal. With things like the iPod and iTunes music store, it's easier to get people hooked with a small purchase and then reel them in to a new computer that works better with the iPod that the PC they have now.
So does this require a complaining copyright holder to press charges? Or is it going to be up to the accused to search out the copyright holder to prove his innocence (guilty until proven innocent)?
At NC State University, all doctoral dissertations are now required to be submitted electronically in pdf form. The best way I know to do this is with TeX and then convert the dvi files to pdf.

Nope. the first derivative of 2VD^2 is 4VD with respect to D or 2D^2 with respect to V.
I'm a bigger geek than you.

Not to nitpick, but 8 choose 4 = 70, plenty for all but large lecture classes.

24 isn't a sufficient sample size to calculate this bias. Go back and analyze all recipients since the award started and I'll take you more seriously.
Not the Foxnews story, it's different. It came through AP. The CNN and Yahoo stories are the same.

Even if you sing it in Tagalog?
So then I guess now you really can't build a better mousetrap.
Seriously though. This would seem to put a damper on a lot of innovation/improvements on existing products.
Are you sure that it's not SCO that's calling you?

That's it! To bankrupt Microsoft, we all need to go out and buy as many Xboxes as we can. Why didn't I think of this before?
No, that would be next door in the bizarro galaxy.

Amen to that.

This goes for statisticians as well.
