When I'm camping, I'll go through a period of intense withdrawal. I'll be thinking to myself, "I need to get on the internet", I'm thinking "internet" in lowercase letters.
It's become ubicquitus.
So I assume 640KB of RAM is good enough for you, as well?
I do video editing, and I have 5 HDs totalling 580GB and it's still not enough. Bigger drives means having fewer drives, means lower noise, means lower power consumption, means higher MTBF.
That's right, put a bright yellow placard with big black letters on top of an open laptop's keyboard that says "Steal Me!". A thief would think twice about stealing it since he might feel it's a joke being played on him.
I LOVE TNG... best of the series. I didn't like DS9 at all, more like DS90210. Voyager was pretty good, it's currently in syndication so I'm catching up on it while never having seen the original air dates.
What made TNG great was a strong cast, and really great storylines that were molded by Gene himself, as he tried to make the series more than a string of adventures, but tried to infuse a certain amount of humanity. Hence very interesting characters like Worff, Data, and of course, Picard. My favorite TNG episode of all time, and this touches on the whole humanity issue, was the one where Picard was knocked out by an alien probe, and he spends his entire life on some planet whose star was about to go supernova. In that episode, he got the chance to live a normal life with a wife and a family (something made nearly impossible as SF Captain). He got to experience living an entire lifetime, although in reality he was only knocked out for a couple minutes. In the process, it's almost like he lived two lifetimes. That was an amazing episode.. that was light on action, but on so much more interesting levels. Very engaging.
In Voyager, we got interesting characters in Seven of Nine, the Medical Hologram in search of autonomy and acceptance, and one undervalued character, and that was Kim. Their struggles to find a way home gave the series heart, which can't be said for the anemic DS9.
So where does Enterprise fit in all of these? Well, let me say that the characters in Enterprise are flat and uninteresting. There is no sense of humor for the characters; T'Pol needs to get laid badly. The rest are unimaginative and uninspired with lame back stories. Im sorry but if the future is occupied by these type of boring people, I'm staying right here in the present. The show needs the sort of bravado you saw in The New Hope, but it's looking more like The Phantom Menace. Too stiff and serious for it's own good.
Why go after the spammers (ie. the bulk emailing services). It's like shooting the messenger; instead, go after the advertisers of such spam emails, since their whereabouts are easier to track down than anonymous spammers.
"iTunes does nothing to deter "heavy" pirates because they go to the store and buy the CD and then make copies."
Not all songs listed on iTunes are available in stores or even on CD, for example iTunes/AOL Sessions or Exclusive tracks.
"iTunes is meant to deter casual piracy."
How does allowing unlimited CD burns not apply here? Seems with casual piracy, you can make as many copies as you want. What Apple does is to limit CD burns to no more than 10 CDs per playlist, so the profiteering pirate cannot make more than 10 CDs each time without having to rearrange the playlist.
Think it through, junior.
At least Apple's version of DRM would go virtually unnoticed by casual listeners of music. iTunes DRM was designed to deter heavy pirates, but in all fairness, their DRM scheme is the best of the bunch. There are several ways to circumvent iTunes DRM, but at least DVD Jon's implementation just means it's less of a hassle for the said casual user.
Why do some of you hijack mention of SCO in your pathetic attempts to MOD UP on FUNNY POINTS? It's gay so please stop. Thanks.
a LITTLE yellow birdy just told me!
Here it is folks for the 20th Anniversary!
in no particular order
1. NEW lineup of Cinema Displays sporting thinner aluminum bezels at 0.5" as opposed to the 2" bezels on current LCDs. Thinner and lighter with heat dissipation through the aluminum chassis
2. Dual G5 Xserves - no duh, seen that one coming.
3. SPEED bumped all-dual G5 towers with a modified form factor, to allow for 2 optical drives and 4 internal HDs.
4. 60GB Ipod with @home features, also including CD-quality line-in recording, larger, brighter displays using OLED technology. Steve will also introduce a slim-down $149 iPod.
5. Single processor G5 models for the entire iMac lineup, with new form factor allowing for a modular design of base and display.
6. Speed-bumped iBooks and PowerBooks.
7. one more thing.. that'll remain a secret. the little birdy told me not to tell anyone so I have to keep this one a secret.

Let's just hope this new fangled intestine-storage doo-hickey doesn't give off methane gas.
I went to Malaysia to get laid for cheap.
Is it just me when I say "Is it just me?"
go stick an apple in your butt you fucking wank.
oh good god, please fuck me up the ass!

Someone should run over his laptop.
If that's the case, I think you got a bigger problem.
Booble will rock your world, beeotch... wait, I mean Google will rock your world, bitch!
THG was one of the first sites to break open the original 5GB iPod to see what was inside. You ignorant clod!
What is the point of these types of reviews? Everyone knows the Dell DJ is a piece of shit. It's like comparing... ah fuck it I wouldn't know.
Who gives a flying crap about OGG. It's always like Linux users to root for the underdog. In this case however, OGG means shit in the "real" world.

Hmmm. I got an idea! They should diversify their business to include battered pancakes! That should make them profitable. Everyone eats right?!!?
If I only knew about this at camp, I coulda impressed the girls and gotten myself laid. DAMN!
