Mod this turd down. I type this on a MBP and the thing is comfortably cool. I get close to 3 hours of battery life on a regular basis. It kicks the crap out of my old PBG4 1.67ghz, app for app, in universal binary, and except for Adobe and Microsoft apps, nothing I run is PowerPC. But what I CAN run, now, is Parallels and Win XP at near native speeds, simultaneously w/ MacOSX.
Go flush yourself, troll, you're stinking up the room.
And at nihaopaul's funeral, the speaker says: "And we all remember, with differing levels of fondness, nihaopaul's omnipresent scowl due to his perpetual state of infuriation and powerlessness, caused by what he called 'the game.'"
I don't know about green monsters and all that, but I do expect Iceland to be one of the richest nations on earth if the hydrogen economy ever heats up. Ample geothermal + ample h2o + planted in between Euorope and N. America? Looks like a recipe for a massive hydrogen production hub. Start building those supertanker facilities!
The notion that government should promote conservative values and stifle everything else is arrogant, ignorant, and in the end inadequate for a pluralist society.
The problem is that rampant liberalism at NPR coupled with tax dollar subsidies is unacceptable in a pluralist society. Wake up and envision a sitaution where NPR was conservative and being supported by your tax dollars.
The only way not to pay for NPR is to quit your job and start panhandling - that's a far cry from deciding to cancel your cable service.
As for leftism at NPR, you don't expect them to completely reveal themselves when Republicans write the checks, do you? That said, Bill Moyers seems to be nearly that stupid.
NPR may not be the best source, but to compare it to Fox News is an insult and simply wrong.
Yeah, it's an insult alright - an insult that our tax dollars prop up the blatantly leftist NPR. You can hate Fox News all day long, but at least you have the luxury of not having to pay for it...
This same person in the same post is arguing about what the coolest things in OSX are and why most people like it, forgetting about the fact that Apple users are a niche population and that most people neither like or even care about OSX
It's not possible for a person to like or dislike something they've never seen or used. To do so would be irrational. The not caring part, however, is due to the same principal. Personally, I've never met a Windows user who wasn't intrigued by OSX upon seeing it in action. The reverse simply isn't true...
More people drink Jim Beam than Van Winkle, but that don't make it right by a long sight. The masses may content themselves with uniform mediocrity, but that doesn't mean I have to...
So, you'll continue thwarting the administration's anti-terrorism activities so long as someone else's family is blown into bloody pulp? What a nutjob.
You are aware that Echelon is entirely OUTSIDE the US right? Same for the NSA, at least until Dubya changed their focus (the entire concept of our discussion here today).
That's incorrect. They get around it by using Canada, the UK, and Australia to intercept US domestic signals intel.
So if I'm talking to someone in Syria...I forfeit my rights as an American for the duration of the call?
If you're talking to a suspected terrorist in Syria, you're damn right you should be monitored. All this silliness above about people worried about the NSA listening to them while they coo-coo to their wives is utter bull. Do they really think the NSA has the time or inclination to listen to that crap?
And where was the outrage at the previous administration when Echelon was outed? Do you think Clinton went to FISA for every. single. call. recorded and flagged by Echelon?
Fact is that international calls have been recorded for a long time, and in these times with OBL threatening, and after 9/11, London, and Madrid, you're damn straight we should be monitoring calls between ANYONE and a suspected terrorist. And I wonder who would be calling for Bush's head if, after a bio attack on NYC, we later learned that it all could have been prevented by a simple telephone call intercept? Wake the hell up.
Well, I guess it's been "too late" for you widows guys for how long now? Why can't you just let us Mac people enjoy our ability to ignore your problems? Threatening impending doom on us every time some pimple faced twat lets a new worm loose on you gets old.
What may eventually happen does not concern me as much as what actually happens now... In the mean time we Mac users will continue to tiptoe through the tulips while ignoring the breathless posts about new gaping holes in MS Windows that arrive on a weekly basis.
afaik, the PPC version of Windows NT never ran on any macs, and it was for use on IBM's servers that has Power PC's at the time. Windows ran on Power PC's just like IBM's old AIX ran on Macs.
Not on a Mac, per se, but it did, IIRC, run on Apple hardware - the Apple Network Server 500/700 (shiner), which shipped with AIX. I had two 500's and they were excellent servers with some really nice Mac-based admin tools. Excellent, that is, until they were orphaned by Apple's decision not to support a Y2K compliant version of AIX... With much reluctance they went in the dumpster a few years back.
Well, it's actually $99 per year, or $8.25 per month. Not too bad considering the type of toolset and OSX integration you get. Considering Apple's market cap nowadays it's highly unlikely the company will be swallowed, so my.mac email addrs are safe, and they don't look cheap on a resume like gmail and hotmail accounts do.
Come on, man. Nobody uses Commodore 64 or Amiga anymore, but that does not mean they didn't have an impact on computing. The insinuation that Jobs has not had an effect on computing is preposterous and worthy of ridicule.
Say what you will about NeXT, but it was a super OS.
Add the cost of your time into the equation, then look in the mirror to see who'll be on hand to support it 24/7. As for reliability issues, why don't you go ahead and build a million PCs for a million different retarded consumers and see how many fail...
Is that your mother I hear? Must be lunch time for you, Johnny!
We non-MS users may be ignorant, but not having to deal with the constant parade of Windows security exploits makes our ignorance extraordinarily blissful...;)
I read it. You say that $9.95 is too much to pay for the current offline PDF edition, and you seem to have an illogical aversion to advertisiments. Methinks whatever the Post offers you, it won't be to your liking. And that's cool, you've got the right to be a bellyacher. But you should realize that you are a bellyacher.
It costs money to publish online and off. Ads offset the cost of publishing. You appear to expect the Post to give you all of your news for free while disallowing them the ability to offset the cost of publishing. How do you expect the Post to pay for reporters, editors, IT, logistics, plant, technical infrastructure, HR, etc., without the means of generating revenue? Get a grip, man.
If cows could only be sold for meat, and the rest which would go to leather, biofuel or other products had to be paid for being disposed of, then meat prices would increase dramatically, and meat consumption would drop.
Then why are organic meat producers having such a hard time keeping up w/ demand when organic meats are so much more expensive than conventional meats? I work for an organic foods company. Our products are much more expensive than conventional (sometimes more than double), yet we have a difficult time keeping our retailers fully supplied regardless of product line. AAMOF, expensive organic foods are the only segment of the food industry seeing appreciable growth...

It's more than enough for me...

With 14 million iPods sold in the last three months, one wonders how many Apple wuld sell if they didn't have an image problem... Pffffftt.
