In 2003 the top four Asian central banks bought $300 billion U.S. debt and were holding $1.5 trillion by end January 2004. Japan leads the pack with $741 billion, then China with $403 billion, followed by Taiwan with $207 billion, and South Korea at $157 billion. These amounts are double what the top four had just two years ago.
Users typically spend a bity of time creating, transferring their music titles to the pod. But what happens at the end of the hard drive life? I wonder what steps a typical user has taken to backup their 40/80 Gb of music?
Backup of the iPod is not an issue. The Mac/PC HD already has all the songs uploaded to the iPod.
The wise probably have a backup (or three) of their HD as well.
al Queda prefers Bush because he "deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom" (good for recruitment), whereas Kerry has "the cunning to embellish blasphemy" (lull them to sleep - bad for recruitment).
The statement said it supported U.S. President George W. Bush in his reelection campaign, and would prefer him to win in November rather than the Democratic candidate John Kerry, as it was not possible to find a leader "more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom."
In comments addressed to Bush, the group said:
"Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilization."
"Because of this we desire you (Bush) to be elected."

Yeah right. Just like our "smart precision" munitions, those "intelligent car bombs" magically killed only the "bad guys". Then, of course, following your impeccable logic, no one by virtue of living in Baghdad, or for that matter all of Iraq, can be innocent. Now would that include the millions who festooned the road with roses when our solders marched in and "liberated" them?

Sorry, sonny boy. I refuse to take credit for your existence on this miserable planet. Perhaps your mommy could help you out with that question?
I realize that skills in reading, comprehension and logic would be too much to expect. So at this point, I'm willing to settle for citizens with even half the intelligence of those "intelligent car bombs" Allawi set off.
You said it baby! Setting off car bombs that kill innocent people in the middle of the market place certainly makes a strong impact on a dictator and his murderous sons who are sitting in their luxurious palaces sipping their martinis. Heck, the blast may even make them spill their martini on their freshly ironed Armani suit. That'll teach 'em to torture and rape the wives and sisters of the hapless citizenry (who are dead 'cos they were dumb enough to go to the market in the first place.)
Oh, and I also remember another set of bombers and rapists in Nicaragua being called the "moral equivalent of our founding fathers". Great thing, this "morally equivalence", isn't it?
BTW, any one know where all these village-idiots come from anyways?
Of course, back in the 90s, Allawi was setting off car bombs in Bhagdad. Those days. it was considered a *good thing* to set off car bombs in downtown Bhagdad. (Allawi was even caught on tape by the British media complaining that he had not been compensated properly by his overlords [MI5? CIA??] for his last bang.) Now the shoe is on the other foot re car bombs.
Allawi, Sadr,...they are all bird of the same feather.
When Saddam bumped off Sadr (Sr.), that was a *really bad thing*. We of couse have the *best of intentions* in trying to blow up Sadr (Jr.)
I cannot see how 3 of the 4 largest markets for the next decade (China, India, and the EU) will ever accept a convicted monopolist from another country dictating how they have to run their IT industry, and hand over control of their PCs to MS.
Now, the US is another story. But even here, this strategy will work only with US corporate IT sheep + rest of the morons who can be frightened/hoodwinked into accepting draconian measures in the name of "enhanced (IT) security".
Frankly, we'll all get what we deserve. In more ways than one.
Apple will likely ship off all remaining inventory of the (3rd gen) iPod to HP, were Carly should be able to sell 'em as the hPod - the model that came before the current iPod.
bullshit what a load of shit, I know nobody who can afford a 25 thousand dollar car let along a G5 with 30 inch cinema. I think ur a mac user whose trying to prove no point at all and justify your spending big money on being no different to anyone else
After about a dozen assaults on the English language, you finally succeeded in murdering it.
As we observe a moment of silence, please try to remember that your native language was the language of Shakespeare and Milton, and even Homer (Simpson, not The Iliad guy) would know the difference between whose and who is.
However, Mac users are grateful for your convincing proof that the conclusion of the study is valid after all.
...some sort of sub-space/zero-point field communication system that could facilitate instant point-to-point communication between two points anywhere in the galaxy
I wouldn't worry about it. If al Queda ever takes out the cellular network, they will have to contend with my teenage daughter. Beleive me, they will be no match for her raging hormones.
Oh boy...such anger...did your mommy take away you secret stash of her unwashed panties or what?
Just to get your calendar straight...unlike Wall Street, it would seem that al Qaeda does not measure their achievements on a quarterly basis. It took them 8 years to mount their 2nd WTC attack, and the absence of an attack on US soil for 3 years means...jackshit.
Duh. and your point is? Think before you post McFly.
I'm afraid the point is well beyond your cogitative powers, sonny. Nevertheless, charming advice from an AC who has demonstrated his ability to think, and comprehend (not!) the discussion re. a dual-use (tv/movie & computer) display.
This child has been left behind. Heck, he's over the horizon. And he doesn't even know it. Sad, sad, truly sad. Looking at the sunny-side, it is good for my profession!
I guess it is unreasonable for me to expect a reasonable level of comprehension from an AC who can't figure out the difference between a 16:9 format movie and a GNOME desktop. I told you once and I'm tellin' ya again: get yer drugs only from an AMA certified personel.
Is that what your gf tells you? Can you do math? When was the last time you saw a shrink? I see the begining of a libido related problem.
When I watch a 16:9 format movie
1) on the Apple display, I see a 1920x1080 picture. That's 2,073,600 pixels.
2) on the Dell display , it would be a 1600x900 picture. That's 1,440,000 pixels.
Apple's offering may not be beautiful in every one's eye, but a comparable Sony's offering lists for $3,000 (that's 50% more than Apple's). Even their "sale price" is 30% higher than Apple's regular price. If you buy a Mac you can get up to $500 off the display price.
So, if you actually crawled out of your parent's basement, gave up your job at MucBurger, got an education, become a professional, started making tons of $$, became an outstanding citizen of the USofA by buying lots of stuff, and learned the fine art of conversing with the morons who troll as ACs on/., you'd find that your Dell is not in the same league as my Apple. Next you'll be mouthing off that your Kea is better than my BMW. (I would have actually gotten a Jag, but my patients expect me to drive a Beemer. Ah well!)
Generally, I don't give professional advice for free (the AMA frowns on that kinda behavior). But for you, kiddo, here it is, gratis: Forget about your mommy. Return her panties at once! Move out. Get a job - a Real Job. Drink some kool-aid: Job's kool-aid. You'll find its a lot better that the Dell Dude's reefers. And remember, get your drugs only from an person certified by the AMA.
What do you mean damn you? Do you realize the problems I've had to face with just one mommy?
Four breasts? Ummm. But real question for/. is how many buttons does this mouse have? If it's only one, the morons here are bound to start bitchin' about a one button mouse.

If you can't get good results with that, I doubt if any thing else can help you.

But they got it wrong. Like you did my name.

2. Hook her up to a text-to-voice (Sexy Victoria?) module.
3. Get a 1-888-SEX-TALK number.
4. Profit!!
I need some help. Any one here know how to get a text-to-voice software to moan?
On second thoughts, forget it. What was I thinking? This is /. and no one's likely to have ever heard a moan before.

Q.E.D.
umm....Sorry, but the Senate, at the behest of RIAA, is not going to allow this technology.
Just to get your calendar straight...unlike Wall Street, it would seem that al Qaeda does not measure their achievements on a quarterly basis. It took them 8 years to mount their 2nd WTC attack, and the absence of an attack on US soil for 3 years means...jackshit.

Poor reading and comprehension skillz, aye? Another child left behind, I'm afraid. Pity.
Ahh! You have a foot fetish! That explains a lot.
It, however, doesn't explain how you missed out on the 16:9 format viewable area calculation. You are still smoking that Dell stuff, Dude.
Is that what your gf tells you? Can you do math? When was the last time you saw a shrink? I see the begining of a libido related problem.
When I watch a 16:9 format movie
1) on the Apple display, I see a 1920x1080 picture. That's 2,073,600 pixels.
2) on the Dell display , it would be a 1600x900 picture. That's 1,440,000 pixels.
That comes to 44% more pixels on the Apple display. Hardly comparable. Then of course, if you are pushing Dell, you gotta be smokin' some stuff, dude.
