Paid medical benefits would cause a tax increase to the general population, increase the number of freely available jobs at the same time (especially medically trained), leaving a great deal of people in better health and ready for the job market.
There, fixed that for you.
Why do public institutes like the LoC get influenced by companies? I don't mind getting influenced by a major company, especially when large sums are shoved my way. Yet if I'm a representative for the public, or something public, or have people expecting me to do the right things instead of only the monetary attractive and interesting: hell, how many ways to describe 'bribe'?
==investigating enzymes that live in undersea volcanic areas
You keep using that word, I do not think it... etc, etc.
Well, then at least be so kind to correct him, pedantic fuck: "enzymes don't 'live', they exist/are found/are produced in undersea volcanic areas." Don't correct if you're not willing to teach.
Confirmed, from way back when I worked as an ACSE. It's not an stunning shock, it's more like an electrostatic "pat" on the fingers. You can even hear the small "tick!" when it happens. Definitely the lack of a third prong. Too bad, the TiBooks rock.
With the Mac's market share closing in on double digits, perhaps it's not surprising to see the platform targeted with crapware as PCs have been for years.
With the former Windows users using the Mac more and more, it's not surprising to see the platform vulnerable to crapware as PC's have been for years.
Yeah, and we should bill Macromedia for their cpu-intensive (and thus power-hungry) plugins. Electricity isn't free.
And I should bill Betty Crocker because the cost of their cake mix doesn't take into account the electricity that my oven will use.
And Peter Jackson, since his movies were so long that they required 20% more electricity to watch. That money comes from somewhere, folks.
Before purchase of above items you could've expected the extra costs. Common sense. Before purchase of an Adobe product few people would've expected that Adobe would be Quietly Monitoring their Software Use in such an obscure way. Yeah?
Hm, they could've booted from dvd, switched the password to 'welcome', and told you they did that when returning the repaired machine. Luckily the didn't erase your drive (yes it happens).
Disclaimer: I am Dutch;) First off, I don't think it has anything to do with religion, people just like to watch people and gossip about it, especially in small communities. You almost don't see this behaviour in the cities and in small towns it's reducing, I think (I live in a city myself). You can also look at this in an other perspective: Maybe the open curtains say: we have nothing to hide, look at us? Or maybe people just like to watch birds. And I don't what you are trying to say about the "doe normaal"-saying: when someone wants to kick someone's ass: that's not conforming to "morally & socially" approved behaviour, is it wrong to say "please act normal" in that situation? Or when someone is shouting through the streets? Or when someone says he likes to have sex with dead chickens?
Disclaimer: I'm Dutch, live in Amsterdam and have lived half my life in one of the most Christian towns in the Netherlands. And yes: it's a religious thing. It's all about the gossip in the churches, the habits of the neighbours and The Others (i.e. the evil non-religious). Now I live in Amsterdam, and about once a week someone is found dead in a park, or in a canal. Hardly any religion, hardly any social control. Social control does not imply religion involved, but it surely helps. "Please act normal" should not be mistaken with "please do not do things that will make other gossip about you."
By the way, some cultures do not mind having intercourse with animals;)
There are 12 networks visible in my neighbourhood, several using channels that are equal with my wireless network, and severely stronger. The only place for me to use my own network reliably is when I'm within 15 feet of my base-station. I tried to organise them, channelwise, but within a month everything was back to "normal": looks like they as per default reset their routers every fortnight. What am I to do?
I don't move them, I put them in the trash, thén move them to another partition. If something goes wrong, it's still there, if everything's going to plan, it's already in the trash.
Stupid, but works for me. Sinds '96:)
I've seen it run on a 1Ghz G4. Some of the new features are a little chuggy (spaces, stationary in mail, etc), but it works fine overall. I'm planning to install it on an 800Mhz G4 iBook, I think it'll run fine.
I guess that leaves the most eMacs within range. Educative institutions probably sigh with relief (then again: their ram would've to be upped, if not already). Worst thing is: leaving Classic behind. Somehow OS9 is difficult to part from...
How about: "Geek sets record by breaking the law and endangering innocent men, women, and children in selfish quest to do something pointless"
Seriously, this doesn't push any boundaries of technology or vehicle science. It tests two things: being able to stay awake, and being able to break laws and get away with it. Here they are tearing across the country in a car filled with distracting devices, sleep deprivation, fatigue, driving at unsafe speeds near vehicles filled with normal people trying to get to work or school.
Firstly may I thank you for the correct use of the word "geek", instead of the inapproprate "nerd". Secondly may I add that this whole "quest" is about plain abuse of technology and as immature as reckless and selfish. May his gadgets explode in his face and earn him the Darwin-award he deserves, as soon as possible.

Easy tiger, you'll find /. a prettier place when smiling.

Rare? Diamonds are rare, yet I see them daily.
Are you saying the same class of exploit that is used to infect Windows users every day is not significant on OSX?
One uses an exploit to potentially cause an infection. If it doesn't spread, well, that doesn't really say much about the exploit.
But I am really interested in the outcome of the contest, especially what they will consider as a 'default' install and 'default' configuration.
Huh? You're on /. as well?! Then... who's watching the children!?
One trains animals, one teaches people. One trains Office, one teaches text processing.

I do all my backups over Firewire. A firm protocol for when reliability is essential. No FireWire? No deal.

Funny you mention music, Welle Erball http://www.welle-erdball.info/still uses a portable Commodore at their concerts. Good music, by the by.
+1, Insightful. No modpoints here to dispense.
Just like a book is divided in chapters, a ga... 'book', yes. A BOOK. Like comics but then for people that can't read pictures.

Is it true they dropped ppc support? I just cleaned out my G4 for this :(

Suppose:
1 mail = 10 kB
100 mails = 1 mB
100.000 mails = 1 gB
Not thát massive...
Flatfee accounts should only be possible for "good behaviour" customers, the notorious zombie-owners should pay per gB.
Just a suggestion.
