Here is a quick suggestion, before you head to the polls, at least be aware of the correct spelling of the name of the candidate you plan on voting for....
Already two Mac people in my office are fairly jealous, because this is what they thought Sherlock would be- but wasn't.
It's also what Spotlight should be...(next release of OS X, Tiger)
Dude for the last time rape is NOT funny.
Remember this when you're the guy getting raped by 5 mexicans in a prison cell.
Ok, but what about softcore lesbian consentual prison porn? Like when Martha gets her "special" visit from Diane Sawyer....
I'd pay money for that, hell, I'd serve Martha's sentence for it....
Oh god I need help!
Oh no! They aren't going to crack down on my favorite Duraking batteries. Or maybe Dinacell?!
(For those of you unfamiliar with cheap batteries, those are real, and they are all made to look like duracell batteries)

You are right, initially anyway. Anyone who can afford an Oracle license will not drop it, but my bet is that it will be picked up by hobbyists. If it's any good, then it will probably make it into small scale, relatively free standing commercial projects(so as not to disrupt anything that you already have built), if it's still good, then it may get adopted.
Keep in mind, the definition of "good" will vary from group to group. Hobbyists may want something that is interesting to play with, that will allow them to easily to powerful things, whereas commercial users will be more interested in scalability and reliability.
This is how ideas are supposed to evolve, unfortunately the "bandwagon" mentality grips a lot of our culture, and people will just jump on whatever the bandwagon of the day is(.com, outsourcing etc) with little regard to whether or not it is beneficial for their organization.
if this will work or not, but if it does, Apple legal won't be happy. The EULA states that you have to run OS X on Apple branded hardware(probably to kill clones), now I am willing to bet for the time being anyway, Apple will look the other way on non-commerical projects like Pear PC, but they probably won't be very keen on a commericial product that violates the EULA.

I am interested to see how badly babelfish messed up the German. It's supposed to say, "Post in German, someone is more likely to understand your German than your English.
Heh, amazing though that this guy could become president, but at the same time his record would disqualify him from sweeping floors at the Census Bereau
Nope, while not having a record is a requirement for a lot of federal jobs, it's not one for president. Look at Bush, he got arrested for DUI and they still let him be president.
Heh, well from what I understand, the Catholic church also disagrees with the death penalty, which Bush is very zealous over, and the church was against the war in Iraq, which most Catholic Bush supporters I know never really talk about, or are supportive of interestingly enough.
not saying John Kerry is better on any of these issues, but I don't understand how catholics can support Bush in light of this
I say we all deluge CmndrTaco with emails demanding that pudge's rights to post stories in the politics section be revoked till he can at least learn, to, oh I dunno, CHECK SOME FACTS AND STOP SPINNING HIS STORIES!!!!
He posts comments on his own stories, he posts stuff that he just decided needed to be there without anyone submitting them, he admits he uses his mod points in stories he posts comments to, what else do we need?
if you look at the numbers, the jobs that have been added recently have come largely from government and healthcare, there is no way that either of those groups can sustain growing employment for that much longer. Government because there is that wacky thing calld the deficit that W. seems to think is his score on pac-man, just gobble it all up, and healthcare because economies cannot sustain having huge amounts of the GDP eaten up by healthcare.
In many ways things like healthcare and gas prices are exactly like taxes. Both are necessities, but the costs can get carried away. If my healthcare costs increase 40%(taking inflation into account) and my gas prices have a similiar increase, I wind up spending more money for the same amount of stuff. Exactly like taxes. So when Dubya claims that he saved me all this money, I like to point out that I am in fact paying more out of pocket for the same things I was 4 years ago, and my tax cut doesn't even begin to cover it.
Nobody even submitted the article, pudge is abusing his power as an editor to push his political agenda. He frequently posts in the forums as well and mods up people who agree with his views. The other editors may do this as well(go infinite mod points) but at least they are a bit more discreet about it(not posting to the forum). Amazing since ppl on here constantly talk about media bias, but I have seen very few unbiased stories submitted to this section.
problems at Intel, problems at Microsoft. Could it be that some companies just get too big for their own good?
Happened to other comanies, just look at US Steel, in 1918 they represented 3% of the GDP of the US, but they got too big, and eventually competetitors, both at home and abroad ate up most of that.
Heh, well PhD's tend to only take courses their first 2 or so years. After that, they tend to focus soley on research(and possibly teaching, depending on what type of funding you geT)
Here is a question for you pudge, why is an editor, who has unlimited mod points and an obvious agenda to push(look at the bias in the article summary, even the from-the dept. is biased, enough said), is also allowed to post in the forum. I think after this little doozy you need to be banned from being able to post stories to the politics section; you are just showing what a pile of biased bullshit it really is.

Or you could just cut off the power and come back an hour or so later after the ups has run out......
The Dinosaurs did die out because they invented, "Starbucks". It will happen to us too.....

I'm pretty confident it will work with my G5, less so that it will work on my iBook....

Considering some of the analogies made on this site, maybe banning them wouldn't be all that bad of an idea :P

"Sure, he got short term growth that looked great for a little while, but when it crashed, it crashed hard.
Um, no, you are wrong, unless you consider the longest period of economic expansion in the history of the country to be "short term growth that looked great for a little while", wow, by lacking even basic economic knowledge, you sure do make Bush supporters look dumb.
Go back and learn some basic econimics, then we will talk.
