The day that shareholders are personally liable for illegal acts committed by the corporations they support, is the day that a harsher penalties (I don't support capital punishment period) for hackers will get my support.
Anything that cares what the client is using to access the web server does not qualify for "web services" in my book.
If they can't offer their service to those in some manner that ignores the chosen platform of the user, they need a new web department, since the one they have seems to have difficulty understanding the core concepts behind their chosen profession.
the US market needs to get with the times regarding this gen's broadband before worrying about things to come.
What if I told you guys south of the 49th that personal Internet access in canada is almost exclusively broadband - either cable or adsl?
What if I told you that most common folk up here don't even know you can use a phone to access the net?
I looked over the mac mini when it came out, and sat there wondering who the hell would be using the included modem... but then I remembered that in the US, a lot of people would.
You'd have to empty the mag to bring down a deer with a 9mm. Don't be stupid.
As a former soldier, you're going to have a very tough time convincing me that a pistol designed and sold to kill humans has a purpose for anything but. Sure, I can use my ferrari to move my computer, but it's purpose is another matter altogether.
that's the sound of my point flying by your head...
To explain: Mandating "locations" for content is a slipperly slope towards tight regulations on all internet content.
Perhaps the next thing to be mandated will be anti-republican opinion (example) - which will be convieniently blocked by ISP's that support the party. Removing the audience from the source (even if by the audience's "choice") is the same as silencing the source. It's censorship by practice if not by definition.
Internet restrictions are censorship because of the way said restrictions can be controlled. See China's internet poilices for details.
the.xxx domain is a good idea, your suggestions of making wacko laws to enforce it are not.
I was under the assumtion that mac ram was diffrent from standard PC ram, but a quick goolgle search turned up that as long as the ram is a 72 pin simm, it should be ok.
I would assume from this that the HDD is a standard laptop drive as well.
Only issue then is with the video, which is soldered onto the motherboard and that pesky warranty, which is probably null and void should you upgrade it yourself.
For 500 buck though, I think it may be time to pick one up!

WHY the hell are we, as consumers, always getting raped by these stupid freaking companies?
Becuase you keep buying their product?
Democracy dead in yet another country.
Somebody really needs to get working on that martian colony soon.

What's fair is fair.
has the time, effort, skill or desire to learn a full suite of command line tools.
Unless you can fix your fridge and car, and put up your own drywall, please get off your high horse and STFU.
kthx.

it doesn't "start faster", it starts up half way when you turn the computer on.
Shaw is using coaxial cable, which is still only at about 50% capacity, so I wouldn't expect them to invest in fiber anytime soon...
Telus on the other hand, may consider it.
you can get dsl and cable in nunavut:

there's the treo you know.
It does pretty much what you're looking for.
it's called sarcasm.
Number 1: right or wrong, this is how they have chosen to do business.
Laws are sopposed to provide guidlines for right and wrong, so it actually does matter.
Number 2: Company A decides its best not to do business in the EU because they won't have the same protection from competitors as they do at home.
Company A then needs to evaluate their desicsion to "go global", because they are now excluding themsleves from a market larger than the US.
was somewhere in texas.
Instead of rushing out and buying one of these things, just wait a few months and listen to what people have to say about it.
It's not rocket science folks.
What's with some of you people?
Isn't New Line part of the group that is crying about how p2p is killing their business? How it's all illegal?
Now they won't pay their director what they stipulated because they firgure it's "piggish"?
Honestly, their high powered lawyers signed the fucking contract, now fucking honour it. Simple as that.
Who ever heard of people who made billions calling someone who made millions greedy anyway?
office produces with it's "save as html" function is, it most certainly is not HTML.
That is the most retarded strech I've ever heard.

involve a 9mm semi-automatic.

Seriously, this is why we have ads.

the
the benefit of that is what exactly?
.org site are you going to censor and fine me as well?
If I tell you to fuck off on this
Look around the world - most of the public (govt) enterprises have not succeeded.
Well, you don't have to look all the way around the world - Here's some stuff from Canada:
Hydro (Electricity) - cheapest rates in world
Car Insurance - (BC third cheapest in NA)
Heath Care - Cheaper per person than US, better coverage of population (problems notwithstanding)
Education - post secondary tuition Much Cheaper than US -> take it a step further, college in most euro countries is effectivley "free"
Day Care - Province of Quebec offers universal day care for $7 a day
There are pros and cons with both styles, but to say that gov't run programs have failed is ludicrous.
If you need a flying car to get to the jetpack gas station, hertz is renting them for $59 a day.
Seems you learn somethign everyday here...

it would be more cost effective just to buy another mini altogether.
