    actually karmaloop seems to have done a lot better. maybe because their site is navigable and they don't piss all their money away on remodeling apartments.

    usually making the solution to a difficult problem into a simple, easy-to-use application is a lot more difficult than making a mess of a simple problem.

    it seems that you prefer rewarding the latter monetarily and not the former.

    boo.com made their own clothing and sold it at ridiculously high prices.

    Well, I meant more like 5-10 years in the future. This is what I'm thinking.

    -Your case has a motherboard, which has a processor, RAM, FireWire 400 and 800, USB2, LAN (maybe), and video. Maybe a boot drive as well. The board costs about the same as a new video board does now, dependent on chipset quality.
    -audio interfaces, hard disks, optical storage, and any other peripherals connect by FireWire or USB or some other yet-undeveloped bus
    -all you external thingies are stackable

    As long as you can boot off your external storage, you're all set.

    what happens is that the market for motherboards with built-in video increases.

  14. Ironically OT on Israel's Finance Ministry To Distribute OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    It is you who did not not understand what the poster meant.

    There are those who wish for an end to the Israel-Palestine conflict who also believe that the current policy of the Israeli government is folly.

    I'm sure there are, in fact, those of Jewish descent or faith who believe this.

    Criticism of a government is nowhere close to hatred of a nation. These two are too often directly linked.

    "OMG! And Windows 98 didn't support fast user switching!"

    Your analogy limps. Did most other operating systems support fast user switching in 1998? No, and especially not Windows' biggest competition on the desktop.

    On the contrary, PostgreSQL has had decent foreign key and transaction and subquery support since 1999.

    MySQL STILL doesn't support subqueries in a production version. Foreign keys are only supported by one table type. It doesn't support views. I could go on, but if you really want to see the differences, look at mysql's crash-me comparison chart. The differences that aren't cosmetic, even talking the last MySQL alpha, are pretty annoying.

    there are foreign key constraints, but only on certain table types, and only in certain versions, and only on certain column types.

    on mysql 3.x, the table types that support foreign key constraints don't support transactions, and vice versa.
