Are you sure the 110W you quote isn't the number of Watts the power brick is rated, instead of its actual use? If you Google for power consumption "mac mini" "power meter" then you'll find much lower values, which - while varying for the various types of mini and use - are much, much lower that the value of 110 W you report.

Bert Who'd believe in Yagolah if a religious book contained a verifiable fact that could not be known by men at the time (say, "Saturn has a moon like the earth, of the same size", the "backside of the moon doesn't have seas", "every human comes from a thread of life, built up of 4 buidling blocks, the thread having two helix-shaped intertwined strands".
I think a few simple measures are required to improve the current situation: - All computers having a hard disk of over 40 GB must be sold with (at least) 2 partitions. This allows users to install another OS. - MS must be forbidden to charge a different price for the license if a manufacturer puts Linux on the other partition - Any term in a license forbidding a user to run his OS in a virtual machine is void - A user may use an OEM license on another machine (if the earlier machine is dead/doesn't run the OS anymore). Any term in a license forbidding that is void.
It is a feature. In fact, it was the most requested feature by work-shy workers and got implemented because of this heavy demand. Bosses are happy too, because it shows that the software they paid for actually is working (as in, doing something).
Bert Whose company is Windows-less, and doesn't have these problems.
They can create a dot (circular area) with a diameter of 2 nm. That is the area an enzyme dangling from a linker (tether) can reach. It is not that they can create anything other than a dot, not that they can put purposively 2 dots at a distance of 2 nm from each other, or that they can add material (such as a metal capable of functioning as a conductor) on the surface. Really nice experiment, but don't buy shares unless you're a long-term investor.
For example, Apple pushed writeable DVDs, by making sure that people not only had burners in their computers (Macs), but also that DVDs were affordable. Apple could have chosen to increase mobile marketshare by making a cool phone with cool third party apps. If they'd negotiated great dataplans, everyone would buy the iPhone whatever the price.
I've a company, 100% Mac. But I'm planning ahead. Some applications developed for my company were web-apps on purpose. I can switch to Linux, and I'm sure to follow the OpenMoko developments when it comes to chosing the company phones.
The mac mini doesn't support 23". 30" screens are even hugher.
BTW, it is quite unfortunate that they don't support 30". Would be a perfect machine for secretaries/office personel in a paper-less office. For my company, I bought my secretary a Powerbook Pro in order to let her work with a 30", because a 4-core PowerMac Pro for typing is ridiculous (buying her the laptop was sllighly less ridiculous and less expensive).
"Unfortunately what is obvious to you isn't obvious to everyone. Evolution just goes against many if not most people's intuition"
Well, that goes for a lot fo things. I live in the Netherlands, and if I look out of the window, I'd not immediately come up with the idea that the earth is round. With some investigation it is possible to find out that it is. With some more investigation you can find out that this holds true for any observation technique you throw at it (up to and including pictures from satellites). Now, the chasm is that the people who observe and investigate see evolution and lots of evidence for it, and those that base themselves on their particular religious book do not.
I've not too much of a problem with people having a religion. The problem is there are a bit too many people who let other people suffer from their beliefs (by flying planes into buildings, discriminate gays, etc.). And yes, that's where in my opinion freedom of religion ends.
I've been pondering on that too. But if a person doesn't buy (left alone click), the value of a page view diminishes (the advertiser will certainly monitor the result on investment). Yet the bandwidth costs are certain to go up.
Bert Who is wondering why there isn't an "governmental approval" system for porn-sites. If you see the logo, the pictures on that site are OK. The logo could make mention of the minimum age (because the situation is muddied because in some countries the minimum age for pictures is different than that in others). Watch a porn site without logo at your own risk. People running porn sites can attract visitors who want to enjoy porn without a bad conscience.
Because phones are much closer to each other than telecom towers, and the energy to transmit goes up quadratically with the distance, I think there is no issue of the batteries dying in a blink. However, when you're on the road (driving), you may not be in touch with enough other phones, and the connection may suck.
I buy my stuff legally, and I don't want to see those warnings at all. I recently bought a DVD forcing me to watch a movie about how bad IP stealing is. I BOUGHT the fing movie. It has almost brought me to the point to go after a program to rip the actual content from the DVD, so I can watch the DVD as I like (skipping back to a particular scene, going to the exact start of the movie, it is all made soooo hard).

Yes, and for that reason a DRMed work shouldn't benefit from copyright, because it is never intended to go into the public domain (or steps have been taken to ensure that it may end up in the public domain), even after that ridiculous lenght of time so that your kids will never see a song by the Beatles in the public domain.

How does it compare to Mac OS X 10.5 server? At least a feature-wise comparison should be possible. Hope they follow up on the article.
