I did this to mine also but for different reason mainly security.
Reason I say security is that I don't really trust people with my stuff. So when people ask me if they can use my AlBook I ask them if they can touch-type or use Dvorak, since responding yes to either question is a sign that the lights are on and that they can get around my rearranging of the keys or know enough about a keyboard that they learned Dvorak on their own. If they can't respond yes to either question then tough luck but I can't do anything about their inability to type.
I know it sounds a bit harsh especially if some hot girl wants to use it, but then again I'd like someone on my level, a girl that knows how to type.
Hell, I was waiting to see the official specs for this same reason. You wouldn't really need to hook up a monitor to it after the initial installation if you can just login into the thing.
Although to make it last for a good decade or so they should have made the ethernet gigabit.
Plus, it's great for those of us who want to run a server at home but have no closet to put a box in.
If you think you have it tough with having one network harrass you and try to push their ideals upon you, think about us right-wingers having to put up with the left-wing crap being shoved down our throats from all around. In case you wonder who would be the Left-Wing equivalent of Fox News these guys would be it.
For the record, I don't fall under the stereotypical demographics of a Republican, nor do I completely agree with Bush or Faux News, and yes, I am aware this can be modded flaimbait but willing to risk karma in order to prove that no, you are not special. We are surrounded by ideals just waiting to be shoved down our throats.
Oh, and there are other ways to get your news. The internet is a wonderful resource and in my opinion, there's nothing like getting news fresh off the wire before it gets distorted by the mainstream.
No, It means that you, the re-seller, gets a five percent cut out of every song you sell.
In other words, Apple is allowing webmasters to have links on their websites that when a visitor clicks on it, iTunes will open up to the album page ready for the visitor to buy it.
Say for example,
"Hey peeps, I was listening to this one album the other day, and it was really nice. if you want to buy it so you can share my amazement, click here"
All an affiliate would be doing would be reffering more would-be customers to the iTMS.
I was hoping that one day I'd buy the Belikin FM reciever, so I could listen to the news every nowandthen...then one of my friends told me that Apple forced them to halt developement on it.
I'll agree with tarun in the fact that MS Word is the one piece of software that is any good. I mean, sure you can't make plain text files but thats what TextPad and NotePad (or TextEdit on a mac) are for.
I mean, come on..what happened to wanting to keep standard formats on a variety of programs?
Oh, and in regards to Clippy, Word is based on a GUI. Clippy is part of Word. Unless you disable his intrusive-ness through the GUI-based Word, you're stuck with his clueless-ness because he isn't a standalone process! (kinda glad for that, imagine how much more RAM he'd eat up!)
I was just waiting to save up enough money to buy an Airport Base and thanks to this little thingy, I can use those extra hundred bucks for getting a wireless PCI card for my WinBox...
A decent WinBox and a brand-spankin' new PowerBook working in harmony thanks to an iPod
Well, it just so happens that one of my friends goes to the California Institute of the Arts where there's a professor by the name of Eddo Stern who has been doing this since the early 90's...he then cofounded C-Level in 2001.
(oh, and here's the link to the page with the date of his latest lecture at CalArts, just search for his name...)
if the storage for games increase, that means we're gonna have to deal with crappier games that only focus on the aesthetics instead of whats important! I don't want another "Barbie's Day Off" going rampant through the streets and getting five stars just because Barbie is more life-like.
The aircraft, which has not been flown in years, is stored in California.
So how can we, the interested, know if this plane can actually fly before actually purchasing such a thing...cuz I fer one like to know if what I'm buying is windup being a $9 million ornament due to government restrictions or due to its inability to fly.
It's amaizing the things people do these days for attention
if NASA is only bitching about not being able to finance the repairs, then why not lease it to another country?
With some "creative legalties" we can have the leasing country fix it for us and return it good as new...
But how many countries'll fall fall for that one?..
Heck, I don't think all of Disney's properties combined are worth that chunk of cash...
Reminds me of a comment I once heard,
"If Al-Quaida bombs California Adventures, They'll probably give them a medal"

Funny, I always took it for granted that bees would be the ones that killed everything that the meteor/dust/blackout/blizzard didn't kill.
I remember a skit back around '99 (or '98) that were reporting the events and public reaction to the meteor (or was it the sun being blacked out?).
At the end they said "After these comercials, stay tuned for Blizzard '99. Followed by 'Artic Bee Swarm '99".
Can anyone other than me remeber this?
Well, if you're so bent on having your precious right-click (well, option-click really) and don't mind using the track pad, check these guys out.

And yes, I do use the option-click... I've set the upper-right hand corner to be it.

If you want a working portable version of FireBird, just extract it to the key
The trick is getting it from someone who has a copy of it.
Works rather well, IMO.
You pose a good point.
I was hoping that one day I'd buy the Belikin FM reciever, so I could listen to the news every nowandthen...then one of my friends told me that Apple forced them to halt developement on it.
I'd really like to know why though.
Simple. Vi, vim, emacs, pico and the like AREN'T PRE-INSTALLED ON THE WINDOWS SYSTEMS like in the *nix boxes.
Hell, I ain't gonna go out of my way and install any of them... even though I do like vim very, very much.
NotePad is already there. Just sitting there. Waiting to be used.
I'll agree with tarun in the fact that MS Word is the one piece of software that is any good. I mean, sure you can't make plain text files but thats what TextPad and NotePad (or TextEdit on a mac) are for.

Best. Wallpaper. Ever!
Since they cancelled the annual show
Let them put up a distro!
I mean, even Mattel has one for Barbie, so why not Victoria Secret?

I can just imagine it...
A new job for Regis Philbin
I, for one, welcome our Googlerian Overlords
They send Bruce Willis to find the source of the sound...
Which happens to be a gateway to another dimension...
With an asteroid the size of Texas headed from the otherside to earth...
SAVE US MR. WILLIS!!!
You've saved the earth over a dozen times now, what's one more?
cue sentimental music
the American car companies....
I mean, why the hell is there a Chevy Suburban and a GMC Suburban?
Oh, and let us not forget about the Denali, the Cadillac Escalade and other SUVs the have the same base as the Suburban.
(I maybe wrong as to the base of the Escalade and the Suburban..)
There already was a Microsoft Bob...
and it was deamed creepy
