The Hip-e has a 1.5Ghz Pentium-M, which is probably almost as fast as the 1.6Ghz G5 you qouted. Note that the Hip-e comes with a non-SATA 120GB HD.
Overall, the iMac is a much better deal, and has a better OS and is not ugly as all git-out to boot.

Very informative. I'm even more wary about this company than I was before(not that I'd ever consider buying an overpriced hunk of crap like the Hip-e.)
If you're thinking Boeing, think again. They manufacture planes, they are not an airline. What were you thinking, anyway? AFIAK, there are several airlines based in and around Seattle and plenty more with offices here. Alaska airlines, Horizon airlines, Northwest....
Read comment #10546354 above you. Blacksmiths have not been replaced by machines. They are the ones using the machines, and they aren't called blacksmiths anymore. Lathes and jigsaws and welding torches, etc. don't just work by themselves, you know.
You just got finished explaining how benificial it was to your life to shut off your television, and now you are saying that you would subject your children to the mind-numbing glow of the "boob tube"?
Sure could. I hope you weren't planning on getting anything done with your computer. Never mind the fact that you still need to run another OS to run the emulator from.
I use Windows too, and I also use Gaim. I understand your frustration with memory usage, window management, and widgets that don't do what they should.
I'd like to point out that this is not the fault of the developers of Gaim. Gaim was developed for Linux using the GTK toolkit. The only port of this toolkit available for Windows, GTK+, is buggy as all get-out and responsible for all that odd behavior. AFAIK GTK+ is not open source, so there's not much to be done(someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
Still, I appreciate Gaim's functionality(and hate AOL's software) enough to put up with GTK+ quirks, which seem to become more tolerable with each new release(but maybe that's just because I'm getting used to them.)
Mac OS X isn't really an alternative for someone running Windows. It runs on a whole different architecture, which means you need to run out and buy an Apple computer, as opposed to just buying/downloading a Linux/BSD distro and installing it on your x86 machine.
That constant humming would be the cooling fans...HD
s don't exactly hum, they click. I've found that lots of modern hard drives are no more noisy than the noise of an optical drive in a DVD player or the spindles in a VCR.
Whilst the grammar and formatting muddy the appearance of this post a bit, the message comes through loud and clear. This is one thing that's actually worth modding up, if I had the points.
So often we go on about losing our rights, but what do we do to utilize the ones we have? We are growing complacent. We may get a little frightened when we see a stick, but the rest of the time we are content to sit around munching our carrots, blind to what is going on around us.
Indymedia.org is my homepage, and I am very concerned about this sudden seizure. Just who are these agencies, I wonder, who requested the seizure, and why? These are the things we should be asking, instead of silly jokes and bickering.
On a side note, I'd like to point out that most of the stories and articles on Indymedia are submitted by independent reporters and researchers, and are more or less posted immediately. They just publish the stories, not create them.
I used to play one at a local bowling alley for cheap(by that time the machine was old and neglected)....I thought that was the coolest thing ever, even if the actual games left a little something to be desired. I always wanted something like that for my home. Did see one at a liquidation sale, but I didn't happen to have $900 on me. Ah, well.

Not quite. See, archive.org actually hosts all their own material.
Damn, I wish I still had my mod points. I know the frustration of watching people laboriously execute commands with a mouse that would have taken a quarter of the time with a keyboard.
Still, I use a mouse, and have no disdain for it. Each device has it's strengths and weaknesses. If I want to open a console, I don't navigate through menus, I hit Ctrl-F12. But I wouldn't dream of using only a keyboard to navigate through all the myraid links and menus of the web.

Erm, maybe because, on average, we're not Polish?

I wouldn't exactly call the design of the Hip-e "eye candy." More like "eye rotten meat."

For Shame.
But is there a jet-pack plug-in?
Wouldn't that be ablimpinated?
(Sorry.)
It's a satire. Believe me, it's making fun of the the arrogant "cowboy" attitude I think you're referring to.
Wait, yes it is...most of the mods are as clueless as you.
I did it and I got a free iPod!

Wow...
I was just going to look for information on Quantum Computing and I thought that I might as well refresh Slashdot too...
