If John McCain goes totally war-hawk nuts, THEN the last flicker of hope will go out.
Until then, we have Obama, who really does seem promising in terms of actually being a GOOD president and having some real ideas for fixing our broken government, Hillary, who is at least not nuts and orders of magnitude smarter than what we have now, and McCain, who is DEFINITELY smarter than George and highly competent even if he did run hard-right after the 2002 election.
Are not that it's a "perpetual motion machine" but that he may have found a way to make electric motors significantly more efficient. This by itself is an entirely believable claim, and I think worthy of further serious investigation.
What PITA factor? Honestly, where is this meme that laptops are "AN INCREDIBLE PAIN OMG" come from? You put them in a backpack and use them when you need them.
I was fine with my 7 lb beast back in '01 and would be even more fine with something like an EeePC today.
Everything I've heard is that Macbooks are fairly well-built and more damage-resistant than MBPs, because they're made with plastic instead of dent-prone plastic.
Why would anyone develop commercial software (let alone shrinkwraped retail boxes) for Linux, given that nobody is using it on the desktop who would also buy retail software?
Desktop software will come, especially for gaming. It already exists, in fact, for the HL and UT engines. Penny Arcade's new game is going to be tri-platform when released.
So, really... what are you talking about?
And how is it that I get by just fine on my MBP while having purchased precisely *two* pieces of non-game commercial software -- Keynote and VMWare? NeoOffice, MacPorts, OOMMF and a host of other perfectly Mac-compatible free and Free software take care of all my needs.
What this is doing is setting a precedent for allowing the law to destroy commonly-accepted specifications for BACKBONE OPERATIONS on the public internet.
No, "destroy" is not hyperbole. This zone transfer ruling very much IS a slippery slope.
Just talking about election fraud is tired old conspiracy-theory mongering! Election fraud never happens! Bush really did win! When you claim election fraud, the terrorists win! Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor! That does not make sense!
I really hate how having the idea that a group of people ever sat down to do something bad or dishonest together is immediate cause to be branded a lunatic.
I took an AI course in college that included Lisp and found it to be mostly worthless. All of the concepts you'd want to illustrate can be done with fairly well-studied constructs in C.
The department sounds right to me. "Seduction" is an excellent skill to have.
Honestly, though, it sounds like he's in a good place career-wise. If he wanted to go on to grad school, he would definitely want to study data structures and algorithms in greater detail, as that's what a lot of the tougher classes end up revolving around.
A SIXTH of the size? That is DEFINITELY down past the size of ergonomic usefulness. There is only so much size reduction you can have before usability starts to go down the toilet.

It's just unsupported.

will tell Time Machine it can use all volumes visible to it, including network shares. I'm going to try this with sshfs tomorrow.
no child is harmed in the act of possessing or distributing child pornography. The harm is in the *creation* of it.
So we have already legislated the existence of thoughtcrime.

Just calm down.

This is simply not true. Ever heard of these guys?

Can you confirm actual performance improvements?
Vista is dog-fucking-slow on my C2D Conroe 2.66GHz machine w/ 2GB of RAM, 7200RPM SATA HDD and a GF7950 compared to Ubuntu.
my G4/700 eMac runs Xubuntu.
So there? I guess?

Alarmist moms that feed their kids only organic food from keeping their kids away from the doctor and refusing to vaccinate them.
The segment that believes in the thimerosal hype will never really stop believing it.
C and C++ I certainly understand, but Lisp? ADA?? Why? Neither of these are remotely relevant anymore. Fortran is more relevant than those.
Colloquy.
I believe the GameCube has memory protection, so I'd imagine the Wii does.
I hadn't heard of QuantumStep until just now. Thanks for the Google search term :)
What devices are extant that use it?
You're wrong. The iPhone API is a subset of Leopard's.
Problem solved.
How powerful was the device you were using? And did it WORK on the police cars?
I just want to be able to take out the cop car who chases me down at speed traps.
Cop: "HAHA I'M ON UR HIGHWAYZ CLOCKIN UR CARZ!!1 OMG FIVE MILES OVAR!!!"
Me: "lol noob" *MICROWAVE-PWN*
Cop: D: WTF WALLHAX
Why do I not have this problem with my iPhone, or with my old AT&T 8525?
