"When the movie (with spider sequence intact) was previewed in San Bernardino, California, in late January 1933, members of the audience screamed and either left the theatre or talked about the grisly sequence throughout the remainder of the film. Said the film's producer, Merian C. Cooper, 'It stopped the picture cold, so the next day back at the studio, I took it out myself.' "

So until Windows intergrates something like fink or includes make/install like OS X (& Linux), there will always be a small slice of users that need.net (or its predecessor) to use free as in beer released software.
Depends:
Airport/Airport Express slots only work with Apple supplied cards.
Any PCMCIA card will work, provided there is a driver.
PCI cards work in G3/G4/G5 Powermacs although the PowerPC architecture must have Mac specific bios for video cards...big-endian vs. little-endian being the problem there.
The Dutch have retained the vestiages of their early modern empire and are the largest investors of capitol in the US (The Far East still holds the most US debt but the Dutch hold the most US assets)
Turning off the port for non-compliance patching XP and/or running AV software.
Technically, I'm in violation of that policy at my school by using a computer without anti-virus software on the university network...but I have an iBook.
I don't think there was a PII 300 with a 100 mhz bus...they were all 66 mhz at a 4.5 multiplier...intel speed bumped the bus and kept the multipliers...so it went like 350, 400, 450 because they were 233, 266, 300 in the original release.
Granted this is all very fuzzy memory from having built computers at the time...
Find me a PC laptop that comes out of the box with firewire, USB 2.0, 4+ hours battery life, small form factor, runs office natively, offers X windows support, intergrates all the GNU tools into the OS, and does it all for less than 1200 bucks out the door...Apple builds the best notebooks, IMO, because they offer the best form factor/battery life/software package out there.
Firefox doesn't like sleep in OSX and slashdot doesn't like firefox...I've had the slow typing thing if I haven't killed it in a few days, if it didn't crash out right, or randomly pop up when using slashdot.
Non-eventful when I voted this morning in Toledo, Ohio and no sign of challegers...Lucas County has a list of voters who have been challenged, so I think maybe it shakes out when you sign in. I think I saw one observer but that's it.
The polling place was busy, so people came out...I usually walk in and get my ballot, today I had to wait 20 minutes.
Don't buy a VW in NA...besides the fact he could have gotten the 115HP 2.0L four offered here and skipped the 150HP 1.8L turbo...getting all those nifty features with more efficent engine (better gas mileage, runs on cheaper fuel)
He had the option to get what you describe and picked the big motor, more power car...
"Only a customer can define the word 'open.' That's my view"
Conclusion:
"Open as in door, is different than open as in source. Unix, linux, Windows - none are open, I'd argue. There is no agreed upon specification, no neutral test to determine validity, and no guarantee made by vendors other than rhetoric."
Apparently, Schwartz wants a gatekeeper to insure that all libaries and ancillary programs are standard between Websphere, BEA, and JES. In short, he's complaining that IBM keeps adding features outside of the TCK/AVK "standard" (apparently defined by Sun), pushing Sun out of the market.
Geesh, here's a novel idea -- innovate! Out-feature IBM, open source the environment and libraries, package support with a linux distribution, and then sell, sell, sell!
Okay, so MS fixes all its ports so they are closed by default and it breaks SQL but ups security...any great shock vendors don't trust customers to apply patches that haven't been tested by the vendor first?
MS isn't going to get hordes of screaming and angry customers, the vendor is. It's a catch-22 and odds are pretty good stuff is going to break because it was easier to do it fast than right.
I downloaded the Ureal Tournament 2003 demo just to see if my 12" iBook (G3 900/384 mb/ATI Moblity Radeon 7500 32mb) would choke...and I was shocked to find it runs quite nicely and looks great.
(not affliated with any of the above companies, just like to game on iBook)
Which makes it even more dispicable Katie T's lawyer called and threatened Katie J.
Helping people, telling your story, etc. is one thing...seeking to generate profit from victim status is another entirely (which seems to be the primary goal of the author here)
I'm all for Apple protecting it's patents and technology it ligitimently owns. Fine, okay, whatever...but if you build a harddrive based player that runs linux and plays open formats (MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV), didja ever stop to think someone could write a kernel that creates an MP3 stream and writes to the RAM buffer that's already in there? It would protect Real's DRM and not break the iPod.
Of course, Real has been woefully vague on how it works, so who knows how legal it actually is...and now Apple is going "They had to take something apart!" since Real decided to show them up.
Well, according to the press release, AT&T will actively pursue VoIP and other emerging technologies for both residential and commerical customers...so it appears to be a switch to a data only company.
It's marketed as a digital life device to allow iTunes to stream over the home stereo (source of criticism). However, it depends on what it's being plugged into...most stereos take RCA. 3.5mm line in is not typically. Apple sells a kit for 39 bucks for those not already equipped.
Of course, I have the RCA -> 3.5mm male bit for hooking my iBook into the stereo plus a 3.5mm headphone extension so i have a 6' or so radius to put the iBook in a safe and accessible location.
I have one somewhere...actually it's a pen/cell phone dectector/black light...it's slow to pick up my GSM phone but CDMA pops the light on in about 3 seconds...
Actually, they are all caps to maintain spacing...i.e. it's easier to hand letter all caps than a mix of upper and lower case so that all letters are the same size.
In theory, every letter and number should occupy the same size rectangle (at a ratio of 1:3, iirc) on a blue print...even if it's hand lettered. However, even CAD drawings don't necessarily follow this rule and I've seen a couple jobs that seem to be detailed on napkins...
I can't even get Bochs to run Win98 acceptably on a G3 900 iBook...it always hangs on boot...
On the other hand, Bochs emulates the x86 so run whatever PC OS you want...the little Linux demo they include works great on my iBook although it's so stripped down, it doesn't do much other than ls and mkdir and stuff like that...
Funny, the living room computer is a PII 300 w/ 256 and it's running XP Pro just fine...not any worse than the PIII 500 at work or the 1.4 gigahertz Pentium IV machines I've used at school...
I'm sure it will croak and shudder under Longhorn but, for now, it just chugs along and does what I need it do...which is surf the web, run Openoffice.org, and act a print server to the iBooks...plus the occansional game of Starcraft...

Apple has an extensive list of freeware/shareware games on their website. Macsoft Games and Aspyr both offer a fairly wide selection of ported games.
