I think he looks "cool"; mainly I think he simply looks better than the PC who looks uptite
Here's my problem, though. Like a high school bully, Apple has decided to make themselves cool and popular by picking on nerds. Especially ugly nerds. For the same reason it worked in high school, it works in advertising. That doesn't mean I have to like it.
Everybody bashes the religious folks, but at least they seem to be able to tell the difference between a stem cell and an embryo. Hint: Only one is a potential human being.
Use the flares! I discovered this during the second play-through. They littered the area with flares, which I originally thought was just to provide light while your battery recharges. But if you use the gravity gun to launch the flares at zombies, the flare will start them on fire. If you're lucky, they will then start each other on fire. The flare falls to the ground after it starts the zombie on fire, so you can even use until it burns out.
You do have to instruct people to use ABS differently, though. The old method of pumping the brakes in a low-traction stop is counterproductive with ABS, which requires steady, firm pressure in the same situation.
Notepad on the other hand... has it even learned to do syntax highlighting yet?
Ahhh, Notepad. So small, so simple. But truly, if you want a really useful notepad (that's also GPL), try Notepad++. I've made it a standard part of every Windows install.
Having RTFA, it appears that the "new" GUI is exactly the same, except you can set it to auto-hide, like you can with the system task bar. Why this is front-page news is a mystery to me.
NEWS ALERT! BETA SOFTWARE MAKES MINOR INTERFACE CHANGE! FILM AT 11!
It would probably be more economical to manufacture the H2 in bulk at the power station, then pipe it to end users in exactly the same way we do with natural gas. The end user can then use it in a fuel cell for electricity, home heating, or hot water, or burn it for cooking gas, or put it in their fuel-cell or combustion-engine car.
The canadian government does not sudsidize the COST of drugs. The drugs ACTUALLY cost less and still make profit sold at 1/3 the price.
That's true - in fact, it's the American citizen who is subsidizing the cost of your drugs. The American market covers the costs of research, development, testing, and marketing, and the Canadian government price controls the drugs just enough that the companies make marginally more selling it there than it costs them to manufacture. But if we weren't paying the much higher prices here, there wouldn't be sufficient profit margin to make the all the pre-manufacturing costs and R&D a sound investment, and the drugs probably have come on the market much later or maybe never.
I'm saying who will build and who will buy the more expensive 64-bit Vista MCEs?
My understanding is that there will be no price difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same SKU. So if you have a 64-bit processor, you would get the 64-bit version. There would no longer be any real reason to put a 32-bit OS on a machine with a 64-bit processor.
Ensure that no one else files the same patent for five years, and only then issue the patent.
How would this work? The patent applications are public documents. Your scheme would allow anybody to disqualify any patent by looking at an application and submitting another application for the exact same thing, thus getting both of them thrown out.
So just set deny execute permissions for iexplore.exe for whoever you don't want to be able to run it. Sheesh, this isn't rocket science. This claim that you cannot prevent it from being run is just bogus.
The details are right there in the patent claim. You cannot "simplify" it into a few words without losing the details. Not a single word in that patent claim is extraneous. It's like "simplifying" a patent for a microchip to "arranging silicon in a certain way" and saying, "what, so I can't build sandcastles now?"
Well you can't remove the libraries, they are core dependencies for scads of other software. But does uninstalling Safari uninstall all the Safari libraries?
You can guess the letters one at a time (i.e. "is the first letter 'a'?").
Your coworker has to guess the letters two at time (i.e. "is the phrase 'aa'?")
Generally speaking, who wins?
To make this analogy work, the answer to the first person would have to be "MAYBE" every time they asked, because there's no intrinsic way to know when you've guessed the key to unencrypt pseudorandom ciphertext - it looks just like all the other pseudorandom data that invalid keys would generate.

You can still start it by several other methods.

Right, well, that was a decade ago. I'm talking about since the consent decree.
Just so you are aware, every Vista SKU will be available in 32 and 64 bit.
You Mac fanboys really are clueless, aren't you? But go ahead, keep trolling away...

He does not support any form of Stem Cell research regaurdless of the method
You are either a liar or severely ignorant. See, e.g., Bush's support of umbilical-cord stem cell research.
Well you can't remove the libraries, they are core dependencies for scads of other software. But does uninstalling Safari uninstall all the Safari libraries?
Microsoft DOES have a DRM that only they use
Just curious - what are you referring to here?
It's been discussed, but I've never seen anybody substantiate this claim.
On the other hand, you CANNOT get rid of Internet Explorer.
Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs --> Add/Remove Windows Components. Uncheck "Internet Explorer."

The wisecracks stop when I can buy a laptop without an OS.
Well golly gee! If you visited slashdot, you would know this already.
No, worse: Chairs.
I just agree with the comments that it's probably a more inefficient way to handle it than others.
What, in your opinion, would be more efficient? I actually have thought about it, and it seems like a reasonably good idea.
