There are plenty of PCs before Macbook Air that didn't have CD drives, IBM 560, X21, X41, Toshiba Portege 3110ct...these are just the ones that I have owned. How ignorant are you?
It is not "artificially inflated", that would imply that price should be set by the cost of an item. It is not, prices main controlling factor is demand. This is they way economics works, this is the way capitalism works, and this is the way the world works.
If you don't think it is worth that much, don't buy it, nothing changes. If everybody doesn't think it is worth that much, then the price will come down.
Carbon dating won't work on anything that has been created since we started testing Nuclear Weapons around the world. I thought everybody knew that, at least everybody who knew what Carbon dating was.
Lots of athletes try to cheat to win, including US, UK and Australian. In fact, the US has the 2nd most disqualified athletes for cheating, next to Bulgaria. It is idiotic to single the Chinese out as cheaters.
These are probably not the same as the Magpies talked about in this story. These are European magpies, which are a completely different family of birds. The European version are a lot smaller.
Simple then, simply ban common sense fields. I think we see the world going this way at a great pace. Probably why it has not happened to anyone I know.
This probably has more to do with the money generated from flights, more than the safety of passengers. There is a huge industry built up on getting people flying as much as possible, and if people don't feel safe doing this, then this industry loses out big time.
OK, fair enough. Maybe you have never installed anything on your Mac to change the way it works, maybe you have everything set at default... I can believe that.
or in the experience of any other Mac user I know.
Bullshit, unless you don't know any other Mac users? I find it hard to believe that you would know what they have installed, and how they have changed their own machines.
The Vendors have had to work around Microsoft, who they have worked with so much in the past, to give customers something that they want, instant on Operating Systems. Windows should be able to do this by now, but it can't, because Microsoft can't or doesn't think it important. The hardware vendors have created their own OS based on Linux which does this.
This isn't the only difference. There are better quality parts out there, and Apple use them. Not every company is a HP or Dell, using the cheapest parts they can get.
Why? Is there some sort of statutory limit on the stupid things people have said in the past? Republicans would sure love that. Is that how your world works?
That is like saying, how can a car with 4 wheels, have a red roof.
The value of a company (its market cap) is how much the market thinks the company is worth. It is not the value of adding sales+profit+cash. It takes into account things like future earnings, potential, people...
Why do you believe this? There is lots of evidence for global warming. Does it make you feel uncomfortable that you might need to change your lifestyle if it turns out to be true?
In fact, it would seem that you are the religious one, refusing to accept any evidence against your "beliefs".

Hand in your own geek card.

Why is there a minimum age to begin with?
So is any age acceptable to you? What about 12? 10 years old? How about 6?
And remember, each of these sports requires many years of training before you can compete at even the most rudimentary level.
Because AMD and Intel both have licensing agreements with each other, and the latest x86 chips use AMD as well as Intel technology.

Magpies don't really kick people, sure they dive bomb you, but there little tiny legs wouldn't hurt too much.
Trying to relate all stories back to Horse porn may work for your friends, but would just disturb mine.
Yes, Japan is just one big company, why don't they get their house in order.
What an idiotic statement.

Not if you do it right. Find someone in college/schools, approach them to sell the cards for you, and split the difference.
You clearly have not sold drugs before?
Yes, you are an idiot.
Not in my experience,

This is the exact type of behavior MS was convicted of a decade ago.
Yeah, and because of the penalties levied on them at the time, we can be assured that they will never try this again.
Wow, your an idiot.

Is it really that complicated for you?
3rd, not anymore.
Sorry about that (not really), Australia.
But it is great to see Britain doing so well, I guess they are getting ready for their own Olympics (that £500 million would have helped as well).
Agree, this system is a joke. I guess it only effects the small number of foreign nationals, but still bloody annoying.
This isn't the only difference. There are better quality parts out there, and Apple use them. Not every company is a HP or Dell, using the cheapest parts they can get.
I guess we should get rid of the Police force, since it hasn't stopped murders. Or we should stop Hospitals because they haven't stopped death.
We can only hope that one day you and the people who voted you up realise how stupid a statement that truly is.
So is it better to have a game pirated by someone, or ignored by that person?

Global Warming: Religion, disguised as science.
Why do you believe this? There is lots of evidence for global warming. Does it make you feel uncomfortable that you might need to change your lifestyle if it turns out to be true?
