and for good reason. we haven't started construction on a new nuclear energy plant since 3 mile island, thanks to absolute terror being drilled into the american people.
talking about 'standard' key placement is kind of silly - SUN uses one layout, mac uses another, and windows a third. the mac and the windows keyboards are just off on the function keys - which is easily remapped if you want to whine, or easy to pick up if you don't -- i switch during the course of a given day from a standard mac keyboard on a mac (control keys in the right place), a pc keyboard on a mac (too lazy to remap, so the function buttons are switched), a sun keyboard on a ultra1 (not very often, though), and a mac keyboard on a set of windows and linux machines (unremapped). the first minute each time may be slightly slower, but its not like its devorak or anything.
accesible? if you're using the provided one button mouse (and i know very few people who do), you just hold down one key, and you get your context menu. just because you don't understand how to do something doesn't mean its not accesible.
I love abiword - i was running one of the old blue g3's (350 mhz or so) and openoffice, the default word processor in YellowDog was taking 15-20 seconds to open, while abiword would open in 2 or 3, and had all the features needed.
the actor who played dante hicks has played nothing but members of the hicks clan: Dante, Grant, Jim, and Gill (aside from that flick that Steve-Dave wrote and directed - with the clown. then he was a clown. that was pretty cool). Randall has, to my knowledge, never been cast as anyone but randall (doublecheck - he played a gun merchant in dogma)
my cordless phone ( a sony, it hink) keeps a spare battery charging, so you can quickly swap to a fully charged battery. in event of a power outtage, the cordless still works, since its powered by the spare phone battery (for a while, anyway)
for what its worth, i personally agre with most of the ninth circuit decisions - but their decisions tend to be highly contentious and often make it to the supreme court. They are one of the most visible courts in the country, and with the supreme court, and pretty much the only 2 courts that end up regularly in the headlines.
oh, and the amount of land covered by a given court is irrelevant. the population is. and i don't watch tv, and i read the entire courts opinion in every court decision that interests me, primarily the ninth circuit and the supreme court.
the 9th circuit court is a gigantic crapschoot. its the most overturned - their insanely good decisions and their incredibly retarded decisions. from saying that the pledge of alliegance shouldn't be mandatory, the grokster decision, and now this. they've obviously got much better drugs than i do.
ummm... i refuse to buy a mixer (unless its for small prtable work) unless it has sliders for volume control. in fact, the best audio mixers you can buy all use sliders instead of pots (for primary volume control. panning, fx feed, and basic eq are usually pots).
Linux itself incorporates many aspects of other things, but you don't see linux giving back (often) to those sources. Apple is a business, and they are giving back to the community - Rendevous (or whatever its called now), improved konqueror, darwin, blah blah blah.
um. no. this only for calls that pass trhough a regular phone system - i.e. VOIP Bob calls Land Line Sue for a good time. Skype or similar, used computer to computer, does not have to be wiretap friendly - but when it comes down to it, your ISP is probably happy to sell you out if it comes down to it.
Theres at least one i know of - i believe the John Doe was a of jamaican descent or origin, and during the entirity of the trial, sentancing, and now whatever the sentance was (i believe it was immigration charges), he remained a John Doe.
the fact that it has 2 additional IDE channels is incredibly valuable. and the fact that it has 2 SATA channels that can be in a raid of jbod is also quite useful. so that gives me... 6 extra drives. so yeah, its not as good as a card. but it cost 20 bucks more than a more vanilla version of the board, and gave me gigabit ethernet, which i have on every other machine i own. if i could afford it, i'd go for PCI solutions. but i'm a po'tastic college kid.
well, you can synthesize finger and palm prints, so the whole finger-choppy bit isn't necesary. but who doesn't want to keep eyeballs around in jars, eh?
or a lot of mobo's come with RAID (or at least some of the higher end boards). I have a gigabyte board that has 4 channels of IDE RAID and 2 of SATA. SATA works fine, i've had some problems with the IDE, but it turned out to actually be problems with the PSU. plus, gigabit ethernet onboard. all in all, i've been quite happy with the setup.

funny, i use a 2 button and scroll wheel optical mouse of my portable mac.

why would the RIAA complain? wouldn't that be the MPAA?

yeah. the spare handset battery (charged in the base) powers the base in case of a power outtage.

No. they also have to go after the manufactureres and sellers of glass pipes, cuz those goddamn hippies were having too much fun.

i've got an ultra1 creator just lying around. the scsi drive sounds like an emphysimic man in a centrifuge, but other than that, it works great.

I use konfabulator widgets.

Dean also had the... balls? to seal records about himself. woohoo. that smells like moral high ground to me.

I'd actually say it's more similar to the federal government as it exists in 'snow crash'.

I use mac on linux instead of classic mode on OS X, but i've never tried running mac-on-linux over yellowdog to attempt to run OS X apps.
Thats a bad analogy becasue there are federal laws against unsolicited faxes.
