It won't reduce mouse travel time, because it will increase inaccuracy. One of the great things about the menubar is that it's hard to miss what you're trying to click because you cannot go beyond the top of the screen with your cursor. One quick flick of the wrist with cursor acceleration properly configured will get you where you need to be, whereas in non-menubar GUI models it's easy to 'overshoot' and miss the button you intend to click.
There is definitely a need to worry if that becomes the case.
If there are laws on the books for things many people do every day but they're unenforced, what happens when you do something a cop doesn't like? Maybe a cop doesn't like black people and he decided to arrest one for something everyone does. Maybe you said something critical of a government figure, now you'll be jailed for doing something everyone does. The list goes on, and the slope gets steeper.
Making laws against common behaviors and then not enforcing them means that people can be arrested anytime for anything.
What does that prove? That people search for Linux more than they do for OS X? That could simply mean that people are searching for help on their hard-to-use Linux boxes while the OS X users are quiet, using their just-works machines. That proves nothing.
A company spokesman said it's not a big deal because they have no intent to censor criticism.
Oh, well okay then, why didn't they say so? Hell, we should give the government the right to censor too, as long as they _say_ they have no intent to do it...I mean, governments and big corporations never lie to the populace, right? BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN!!! What are you, a child molester?? Think of the kids!!
The hardware people are reasonable, they want their stuff to be able to play everything, and record everything, and they want it to work 100% of the time.
Umm, correct me if I'm wrong (I haven't bought Sony hardware since the decline of bleem! and Lik-Sang), but aren't you forced to transcode your music to Atrac with Sony's software in order to "play" MP3s and other formats on their players? That hardly sounds reasonable to me.

PICS????? plz
Those lists are wrong. Neither list even contains the current generations of iPods.
The hard drive list has hardware discontinued years ago as #17.
What are you talking about? Of course the iPod classic can play video. It has been able to since 2005.
yeah, you know me!
A "time bomb" is a type of malware... all infected machines perform a certain action at a certain time.
Also, how many people would have paid for it if it were in a decent format?
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these... you could fab buildings and cars!
It's against the terms of licensing the OS.
Then when they do #2, OS X doesn't perform well and it becomes infamous for being a piece of shit OS.
Controlled hardware is the way to go for Apple.
Russia spans multiple continents--it's located in both eastern Europe and Asia. It was also in North America until they sold Alaska to the US.

Oh man, if only I had mod points.... X-D
Usenet? What's "usenet"? Shhhhhhh!
Despite thinking that FF6 is a better game, you have to admit FF7 is what gets talked about more, and that is what this is about.

Doesn't matter who made what when. The Beatles put out better music than the Stones did.
You can copy games to the SD card but you can't run the games from the SD card. You also cannot copy the games to a different Wii and run them.
