$1000 isn't much money. I spend that much on a set of tires, or a new musical instrument or something. I spent much, much more than that on my source of livelihood, my UNIX workstation.
For those of us without your income, $1000 can be quite a bit of money. It's all well and good that you can afford to spend thousands on tires and instruments, and even more on a piece of equipment that you need for work. This is a home productivity and entertainment system.
You, on the other hand, don't expect much more than 150fps until you drop another $1000 upgrading your machine next year.
While I do enjoy playing games, I can't see any reason why I'd spend another grand next year. My current $1000 machine has lasted me 3 years, and I'll probably sell it for a few hundred (as pieces).
You're right. Apple can't touch that market, and nor do they want to. Have fun shooting 'em up.
I was challenging the grandparent posts assertion that the "Apple Tax" didn't exist for "comparable specs."
And FWIW, I will have fun shotting 'em up, with the variety of games on my PC:p
If you don't like the Apple tax, don't pay it (although it doesn't really exist for comparable specs)
I'm going to put a big sign on my head that says "CONVINCE ME". I'm in the market for a new computer, and I dont want to spend more than $1000. Here's what I'm currently looking at: Shuttle SN45G $278.00 AMD XP2600+ Barton $97.00 Crucial 2x512MB PC3200 $176.68 Maxtor 160GB 7200RPM 8MB $134.00 Lite-On 48x24x48x16 $50.99 Sapphire Radeon 9800 128MB $166.00 Total cost, including tax and shipping: $972.63 plus a few hours of my time (which is near worthless)
Apple can't touch the market that I'm in. What, a 800Mhz eMac with 384MB RAM and a CDROM drive and very limited upgrade options? Ha. Lets price something competitve from the G4 line... oops, its over $2000. And a G5? Even more money.
I can't find anything that Apple can throw at me thats price competitve. CONVINCE ME otherwise.
Go into display properties and tell windows you have a higher dpi monitor, and it will scale all the fonts accordingly. Or lie and set it to even higher dpi than you really have to get even bigger fonts.

The FAA says in FAR/AIM, that we must follow the FCC, and what they say about electronics in the airplane. The FCC says dont use them. This is of course VFR operaions. IFR operations says that the PIC (pilot in command) can say what can be used and not used in the airplane.
The PIC makes the determination in both VFR and IFR. Reread part 91:)
Flight levels below 18000 also alternate altitudes. Even thousands for westbound IFR trafffic, even thousands plus 500 ft for westbount VFR traffic, odd thousands for eastbound IFR traffic, and odd thousands plus 500 for eastbount VFR traffic. But above 18000, you dont have to worry about the pesky VFR traffic. Additionally, once you get up really high (~32000, maybe 36000), they start seprating by 2000 or 3000 ft.
I was on a 2 mile final for San Luis Obispo airport in Cessna 172 and my pax phone went off, causing a lot of static on the radios (just ringing, he didnt actually answer) and causing the magnetic compass to oscilate a bit.
You know, every time I bitch about my clients unavoidably ending up with multiple Windows licenses for their PCs, some knucklehead posts about how Dell will (for corporate customers) happily install a customer-provided Ghost image or provide naked PCs sans license and OS if you prove the machines are already covered by a preexisting volume license.
Except multipliers are based off the true FSB and not the effective bandwidth FSB (only bandwidth changes with DDR and QDR, latency remains the same). So a 1.8Ghz part on 450 DDR FSB would be a 4x multiplier, and on 225 QDR FSB it would be 8x. Still better than Intels 20+ multipliers on some of their chips...
It will _STILL_ be cheaper then putting 2gig of RAM unto a pile of boxes, AND faster. single-channel ultra-320 can hit you with up to 40 megaBYTES per second, all on a measly 5ms initial seek. (Remember, ALL the drives seek in parallel) Putting drives on the second channel can whollup you with 80MB/second. You're talking around $1500 for the card, of course. But have you priced out a 1U server with 2gig ram lately?
Surely you mean 320MB/sec on one channel, as SCSI is rated in MB/sec and not Mb/sec (like IEEE1394 and USB are). IDE is also rated in MB/sec.

Yea. At the schools I've gone to, the prof gives you negative 100 points.
-20 on a 100 point assignment? In both high school and college, the policy has been -100 for cheating on a 100 point assigment.
Could you inform us of the other 2 cripling OSX updates/patches?

You are wrong. Take the derivative to see why.
x=t^2 thus x'=2t, which satisfies your x'=kx format, but t^2 is clearly not exponential.
Do you have any benchmarks to back up this incredible 10x statement?
Actually its 5.6MB L2 and 512MB L3.
G5/MacOS is higher price/performance than Xeon/Win32 by about 25%. Numbers available here.
3000-.2*3000=2400+99=$2499, not $2300.
That would be RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minima), and it is used on the more busy jet routes.

The A321 and A340-312 are two very different jets. I, however, don't know them well enough to tell them apart from that photo. A321, Seating 166-220 and the A340-300 family, of which I believe the A340-312 is a model.
PowerBooks are still competitive without the chip
Yea! When OSX segfaults, you can use them as seesaws! Gotta love the case design that gets so hot it warps!
That was a bit trollish, but I know Tobin IRL, and he'll laugh at it.
Tobin, you're on crack. The 970 at 1.2Ghz is only 19W, and the lower voltage version (~1.2V) will be 13W.

Looks like you missed the bold part...
The Beech Starship has a forward canard and no elevator (or empennage, for that matter).
Except multipliers are based off the true FSB and not the effective bandwidth FSB (only bandwidth changes with DDR and QDR, latency remains the same). So a 1.8Ghz part on 450 DDR FSB would be a 4x multiplier, and on 225 QDR FSB it would be 8x. Still better than Intels 20+ multipliers on some of their chips...
