It's true - My wife and I have been married 3 or so years, and since I bring my laptop in the bedroom to work until we fall asleep, we never have sex. Well, I say never, maybe 2-3 times per year.
Not that she's bad looking either - she's a fitness trainer with ~15% body fat. I just have too much to do. But it does promote insomnia as well - been taking pills to sleep for about 2 years now.
I am absoLUTEly with you there, brother. Seeing that first nurse andriod in the tunnel... (shiver). And the voices of the Many - really outstanding. I still have that game loaded (with all the new textures from SHTUP), and play it over sometimes just for the ambiance.
It's truly one of the best games I've ever played.
This will delay the release or accelerate it? I would think that releasing the code is their way of "washing their hands of it." I could be totally off by that assumption, though. Perhaps they just want some outside development help.

Um, no. 802.11n has significantly greater range (as a spec, at least). Plus, if this company is claiming to have developed it, I don't think they will just give it up for free. 802.11n is a public standard.
You are absoLUTEly right, Slime-dogg. Unfortunately, politics has become such that both parties will get in the way of any progress on any subject if the other party would get credit for it.
Bipartisanism is dead.
Further, Congress thinks the public is stupid and will blissfully go along with anything they say, and forget anything they say that's terribly wrong. They also know that they have created a system in which THEY have all the power and THEY will not give it up, ever.
Never mind that both Democrats and Republicans are lead by the extremists on both sides, because it's the extremists that can raise the most cash and make the most noise. The common man is ignored.
Representation is dead.
Even though it's nearly impossible to break into this elite club, I do believe it's time for a third party. There have been so many attempts, but that's only the tip of the iceberg - the fact that the Green Party or the Libertarians have ANY traction at all is an indication that the general public is tired of the bullshit. Most of us do NOT think as the far left, or the far right, but we're all fairly fiscally conservative when it comes to spending taxpayer money.
So that, my friends, is the platform that the new party will go by. Whatever form it may take, despite the strong measures that Dems and the GOP will take to prevent it, it will happen.
How fast or how slow, depends mainly on you, me, and everyone else. If we sit there and care about ourselves more than the country, then nothing will happen.
I apologize for being an ass - honestly, I'm in a very bad mood today, for reasons I won't get into. I'm just tired of people asking questions that I have to answer over and over, it seems. Curse of the technorati, I suppose.
The Yonah architecture is the next generation of the Pentium-M - the mobile chip first designed by their Israel design team. It's small, faster at lower clock speeds, and uses less power than the Pentium 4 chips, which you are referring to.
This is a dual-core 2Ghz Yonah which I daresay will blow the doors off of a 3Ghz P4 Prescott, and run much cooler, which is necessary in a case that thin (the iMac case) when coolers are space-limited.
Did you post anonymously because you knew that was just a stupid question, or are you just now figuring this out?
Well, if you think about it, Apple HAD to come out with Intel models earlier than expected. The cat was out of the bag at the WWDC last year, so I'm sure their desktop and laptop sales started declining that day as users put the "now-obsolete" PowerPC unit purchases on hold.
It's good that they are using the Yonah architecture. I just hope they get the FSB speeds up - that's the true bottleneck on these new chips.
Based on their entire ad campaign, which is "promenently displayed" on their website and their ads, I'd say that breasts are entirely ON-topic.
A poor-taste, stereotypical ad, no doubt, but look at their target market. Gen-X, mostly male, web-savvy enough to have their own domain, etc. How do you sell to this segment? Sex, of course.
I've been dreaming of this possibility for a few years now: imagine if the U.S. government replaced every light in every federal facility with LED equivalents.
We'd save BILLIONS every year in electricity and replacement costs. I wonder what they'd do with the money? Give it back to the taxpayers, or spend it on a new park in West Virginia?;-)
I mean, cmon, how much work do you HONESTLY have to do except keep the phone line open and record the itsy bitsy data stream. What could be costing $4 mil?
I'd be happy to sit there and take care of that for the bargain basement price of $500,000 a year. Give me a million and I'll tack on a couple of buxom helpers to pick up your laundry for you or something.
What a bargain.;-)

How can this be Offtopic? This IS the topic, or one of them anyway.
I hope some Mac Fan Moderator hasn't modded this Offtopic just because they disagree with this person's opinion. Surely you can be objective?
Well, when I mentioned a peltier in the first example, I was referring to the extreme temperature differences the are inherent in space (near Earth orbit at least). NASA has documented that the difference between being in the sunlight and in the shade can be 200-259 degrees (maybe more).
You merely put the "cold side" of any device that needs heat dissapation in the shade of the sun. I would think a peltier of any quality would generate a great deal of electricity using this model, but I am not sure if it would be comparable to high-power solar or other methods.

I guess I should rethink that practice.
You'd think cards developed to the same spec would have equal performance. Is that really not the case with SD or others? Interesting article.

So, no. ;-)
Wish I could do that with my "real" PC - save alot of power that way. Hard to see the screen though. ;-)

I wonder if you have to assemble the pages into an entire book before you read it. ;-)
I think I'll hold out for 7.1. ;-)
Who needs yucky girls anyway. Cooties! ;-)
I can think of a whole lot of far-more-entertaining ways to get brain cancer, so I'm not really excited about this. ;-)
Um, they already make Microsoft Office for Mac OS X, arguably a competing operating system with more users than Linux.
Unless your definition of "competing operating system" is somehow different from mine.
So, that's why.
Anyone checked out Copernic Desktop Search? It really works better than the GDS format, for searchign local files and content.
If only Copernic could create something similar that interfaced with CDS. Oh well.

Anyone know when?
Mirror for SimpleKDE, anyone?
Just get an 8-port serial ARA raid card like the 3wave 9500S series and 8 Hitachi 7K500 drives.
;-)
7 drives in the array, one for parity - boom, 3.5 terabytes and safety too.
Of course, if you don't have $4,000 for that setup, then 2-3 external hard disks would be plenty of redundancy.
I will be buying the 7k500s when they ship, though.
