Indeed. He ran on no more nation building and smaller government. The first budget he proposed was 12% bigger than Clinton's last. This was before September 11th.
The nation building thing is personal to me, as I served in the Balkans under Clinton.
When I tell people that there isn't a nickle worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans these are the examples I cite. They don't govern differently, they just campaign differently.
If they were the same they'd be the same. Fair enough. Neither of them got where they are by employing nice business tactics. Granted.
The difference, in my eyes, is that Apple makes products that are generally a delight to use, whereas Microsoft makes products that generally make me want to gouge out my own eyes to alleviate the pain.
Seriously, the only nice thing I can say about Outlook is that it isn't Lotus Notes.
Well that's just terrific for you. Doesn't help me get off of coal, does it? And if we're talking about Canada, coal is still your second largest source of power.
The fact is, "environmentalists" in my country have made it practically impossible to use anything but coal and wind on a large scale. Hydro hurts the little fishies, you see. Nuclear is baaaaaaad! So the status quo is maintained. As far as I can tell new wind installs aren't even keeping pace with increases in consumption.
My point, since you seem to still not get it, is that simply offloading pollution out of the cities is selfish and short-sighted. This has always been my complaint with the electric car, and this device, while it may be a useful step toward a better system, is just a re-shuffle of the deck in the short term.
I was just hoping to prompt people to think past the outlet a little bit. Guess I failed.

10BASE2 is A.K.A. "thinnet" or "cheapernet". Uses Ts at terminals. 10BASE5 was "thicknet" and used "vampire taps" and AUI, which looks just like a P.C. joystick port. (If you remember what a joystick port looks like.)
I agree. Only responsible, elite government agents should be allowed to carry guns. They're the only ones professional enough, that I know of, to carry them.
This cable is not intended to carry Ethernet. It's made for Denon's proprietary low-voltage differential LPCM interconnect. More like S/PDIF than Ethernet. Not everything with an RJ-45 is Ethernet.
Having said that, I can't imagine this is any better than any other cable that meets their spec for this interconnect.
Which of those things requires "a lot of OpenGL power"?
As I said elsewhere in this thread, I have every reason to believe that the current Mac Mini can decode 1080p AVC in software. This seems to be the most demanding task within the scope of the question.

I just sent his campaign a message asking if he's changed his position. If you email me at the address above I'll forward you any reply I receive.

Whoops, a computer can easily solve your Math problem.

Anger powered car.
Approaching $2/gal four years ago. Amazing.
-Peter
Great! I'll install hydroelectric at my house today!
Oh, that's right, I don't get to choose where my municipal power comes from. It's coal or nothing where I live.
-Peter
Which, in effect, gives us a coal-fired car. Terrific.

I want to die quietly, in my sleep, like my Grandfather. Not screaming in terror, like his passengers.

Brilliant!
Could even do a crossover sample from the Blambot dude!
