I'm willing to bet a large, large amount of money that you've never even used OSX. If you had, you'd know that it has gotten BETTER with every release.
Just more FUD from the OSS fanboys.
This is incredibly sad. How many converts, exactly, are you hoping to land? This/., after all. I, for one, am still running AIX 4.3 on my home machine.
GUIs make my skin crawl.
Agreed. Storage is the future, with speed a distant second, IMHO. I put a Raptor in my machine with a second drive for multimedia stuff and I didn't notice a huge difference. I'm running an Athlon64 3000+ and a gig of RAM.
However, I understand that there are uses for which a super-speedy drive is a godsend. I just don't think most users need speed over storage.
Good point. I would assume that sales volume would have to be very, very high to receive a Dell-like discount. I don't think Apple qualifies.
Then again, Intel might give them a good discount to keep them onboard. Apple could always re-marry IBM.
Amen. Liberals always looked at this court as "conservative"----it is center-left at best. Look at their recent decision further eroding private property rights.
So, what you're saying is that you couldn't do one because you're an unoriginal troll who can't do anything on his own but can only tear down the work of others.
Please go back to crying and jerking off.
Really? Because he broke into a Pentagon network? That just makes him stupid; if he were really a big hacker, he'd be doing blackhat corporate work.
UFOs! Yeah...whatever.
Well, this isn't cowardly or anonymous: you have no source to back up your assertion other than the drivel written by those who make up claims of "lack of diversity" to keep the donations rolling in.
Environmentalism---the new home of Communism in the western world.
You know that many people who are overly-sensitive "I'm too cool for The Man" atheists? Where do you meet them? Why are they offended by the very mention of God? Do they feel guilty? If not, then why be offended? Why not just live your life?
I'm normally not home on Friday nights, so I have to tape it; I've only watched the first two episodes.
My guess is that they are going to make it look like the Cylons have taken human religion and interpreted it somehow to justify genocide.
BG is dirty, gritty and believable. The religion question concerning the Cylons is interesting because in the original mini-series there were some references to God by the cylon woman which left me scratching my head.
In his book "Blog", Hugh Hewitt mentions that corporations need to have a blog policy clearly stated so there is no grey area with regard to what an employee can and can not say about the company on their personal blog. Of all companies, Google should've been ahead of the curve on this.
It's never a good idea to throw dirt on your employer, but Google now has two problems to deal with: a possibly disgruntled former employee with large readership and a PR blackeye. No good will come of this.
The technical details are a littel to sketchy. Slower processor and memory? Gotcha. But who supplies them? Rear-projection screen. Check. But can you make it thin enough so a child can carry it? And who will do the R&D?
An earlier poster mentioned first-world appeal. Amen. Sell a sexier version in developed nations for, say, $200US and then see where this thing can go in the third world.
Forking is inevitable, especially since there is now large corporate (IBM, Novell, etc.) money involved. Linux is highly flexible and, since it's open source, customization of even the kernal is inevitable.
This is NOT a bad thing IMHO. It will just take some getting used to and require knowledge of the changes.
However, I just don't talk about work. I could write several books about what goes on there, but what would it do for me in the end? If I need therapy because of work, then I should see a shrink, not blab about it to people who don't care anyway.
Stick to politics: it pisses people off AND it's easy to pick sides in a fight.

So, "the boy be roded" is wrong?

Please kill yourself, fucknut.
I would mod you troll (I've got some mod points) but since I'm an American and you're not, you're not worth the dog shit on the bottom of my shoe.
Here's the real question: is it larger than Uranus? If so, we're all in trouble
This is what happens when a near-monopoly is allowed to thrive...it costs everyone.

The Angry Mick? That figures. Go back to your pint...we'll save civilization.

it's all made of cheese...stinky cheese
Same here. It's just jealously from inferior sub-humans. It's beneath us.
IMHO, this could end up being a serious embarrasment to to SCO. Maybe now, they'll crawl away and die.

Thanks...as you can tell, I have a problem with "A" and "E".
