freedom or ability to obtain or make use of? he can pick up a phone and dial as well as anyone. He can make as full use of it as anyone - he speaks, sound is transmitted to the other end, the person on the other end speaks, sound comes out on his end. While he's not able to make direct use of the sound, he could feasibly use a voice recognization software, and tie it in that way, removing the third party (obviously, this would not be a partiuclarly simple applicaiton, but it is feasible). The point is, yes, he gets everything anyone else gets out of the phone system, he has access to it (and yes, it means what he thinks it means) his disability prevents him from getting full use out of it. Access != Use.
The whole 46" round trip thing sounds very bizare to me. I mean, with hot keys you can switch apps rapidly, and then switch windows in that app. Why go all the way across the screen to get the window anyway? you can click anywhere in it to focus.
The fink always seems to give me problems, unfortunately. My "installing the gimp"debacle really turned me off to it -- but thats probably because i'm relatively/very knew to linux/gnu stuff (I decided no to try installing KDE, my prefered GUI, after my problems with the fink)
No. the dual 2gHz g5 uses a 1gHz FSB. the next level down gives you a 900mHz FSB, and the lowend (hahahaha) g5 has an 800 mHz FSB. just for clarification.
I'm going to at least give dual booting my g5 a chance. i really liked yellowdog on my ibook, and sometimes aqua irritates me, and i want to use KDE. In the end, i'll probably go back to just OS X, but hey, why not try it?
I would imagine that the price of pressing CDs would require one of two things: A shitload of machines with good turnover speeds or B) A magic fairy godmother. Pressing CDs is expensive. you need a glass master, blah blah blah. it doesn't make sense unless you're making 500 or more copies- if you want to sell the CDs at anything resembling a reasonable price. Due to the relatively high speed that new versions come out, you would have be insane to invest the $1500+ that it would cost to get the 500 copies (usual minimum for glass mastered CDs) of, say, Mandrake 10.0 . When 10.1 comes out, you'll either be selling an older product (assuming that these people don't have broadband, and this don't want to spend a few hours updating) or you'll be stuck with 400 copies of Mandrake 10.0 that didn't sell (this is, of course, assuming that you don't own several machines and people actually buy all of it) -- you'd be out $1200. With CD-R's, its a low overhead, and you can't keep up with demand, instead of praying that you can sell 500 copies.
oh. and its cheaper.

www.reason.com . No, i'm not a corporate shill. just pointing out another news source.::rolls around in ill gotten gains::. mauahahahaha
um... stop using outlook express? i try to hammer that point into every windows user that bitches about adware (not you. in general). only about 10% are wililing to switch to something else, like thunderbird
when i hear/read audiophile, i generally think of the high end crazies. while i'm an audio nerd, i've been to too many heavy metal shows to hear the differance between a 2 dollar extension cord and a hundred dollar extension cord. So, yeah, i was being overly broad. i mean, i have a 400 dollar turntable and expensive monoblock amps running up to nice speaker towers, but i'm playing a punk record i got for a quarter at the salvation army.::shrug:: i stopped putting money into audio and started pissing it away on computer hardware.
I've nver seen Reason on a newstand (i subscribe to it myself), but I know continental airlines usually has it in their big boxes of magazines in newark airport. i'm cursious as to what that cover will be.
I spent 3 hours and dozens of stops to finally find a working nintendo (one of the neo-top loading ones) just so i could play two games - ninja gaiden 9the original, not the crappy sequals) and bubble bobble. the latter is, by all rights, a crappy game, but i love it anyway. the former is, in my opinion, one of the best side scrollers on nintendo outside of megaman.
I find it hilarious that a lot of audiophiles go all crazy for speaker cable and patchbay cable quality - i've met people who refuse to use those "low quality" expensive monster cables, that "dirty up the sound", and pay hundred of dollars for extension cords. Nevermind that they have dirty evil copper in their wall, and the recording studios almost always use cables that would make the audiophile squeel in terror.
and tubes... For large sound reproduction (poweramps blasting out 4 full stacks for a concert, say) you don'y want to deal with tube, and its not a particular benefit over solid state. but for small amplication, and music amping, its amaing. i was working in a repair shop, and wefound a late '70s fender bassman tube amphead. we sold it to a salesmen at the shop for 60 bucks after he fired it up and startted playing speed metal. i nearly needed new pants.
Dude - Crystal Quest. My solution for getting around at ease in middle school to play crystal quest was to discover that my teacher wrote the password on a postit attatched to her monitor, but... crystal quest, yeah. I also dug hypercard based games (Cosmic Osmo and the Manhole come to mind), and spent waaaaay to long making annoying hypercard games my self.
I had... 1 logic board replacement, 1 screen/hinge replacement, 1 replacement of the sleep sensor, or whatever its caused. my friend had 5 logic boards fail him. 5. after the fifth, they upgraded him to a new g4 ibook with the slot loader (since the model of g3 ibook we both hav has had notorious logic board problems). I've never had a personal problem with apple tech support - but i tend to go to the genius bar, in the store, where its easier to elicit a response (although the wait is often no better than on the phone).
Out of curiousity, what kind of campus? on varied (i.e. not liberal arts or engineering schools) i tend to see a smattering of technology, although mostly windows, engineering schools mostly windows/ *nix / Solaris, and liberal arts schools being a tossup.
comparing a game from 1988 with one as modern (losely used, of course) is like comparing a fetus to a supermodel (in 2 decades, is hall be compaing the supermodel to a sexbot cyborg assassin, don't worry)

I use Mac On Linux inside of OS X, because its (in its uncompleteted form) much better and faster than Classic Mode.

naw. i'm really not affiliated with reason, or a corporate shill (although i wouldn't mind). so i have neither bills nor bills. boo/yay, respectively.

two or three CPU manufactueres.... Motorola, IBM, AMD, Intel...
And, oddly enough, you're more likely to be slapped for the former than the latter.

My italian neighbor learned english from "I love Lucy". no joke.
If you can afford true audiophine equipement, your entire city can be climate controlled.

You've obviously never held you hand behind a dual g5.
Well, you get an overall warranty from them, no hardware conflicts, fully supported hardware....
