I'm sorry but there's noght especially insightful about "That sucks".
I wonder if this has anything to do with Apple choosing Intel. It seems that AMD are very jittery lately, just as everyone who's in the know is touting their chips as superior. I mean, who's using whose x64 implementation? What are they so worried about?
As with music and movies, pirated software does not necessarily imply a loss to the market. I may buy some very cheap pirated software, say a knock off version of Cubase, in a Russian shop for a couple of rubles, but that doesn't necessarily mean if the knock-off hadn't been available, I would have bought the full-priced item.

On the other hand it makes little sense to have a team of highly creative, highly paid engineers bug-fixing, if you have thousands of lower-paid code monkeys willing to do it for less and let the creative guys work on "the next big thing".
If you're referring to the clock speeds mentioned, vs the clock speeds of Intel or AMD chips in 2002 (which has, oh, nothing to do with the OS), then I suggest you do some reading as to the actual comparative performance, especially in the graphics processing areas where macs are traditionally strong.
I'm not a fanboy, but I've never liked the way chips are advertised by clock-speed, it's quite misleading.
Though if you had a gigabit ethernet kitted out in your place of employment, chances are you're at the professional end of the scale, and more interested in the PowerMacG5 than the iMac, no? It seems silly to be kitting these out with Gb cards when most of these will just be used for home surfing.
I read a very interesting article on the possible outcomes of a semantic web, and a google "trust rank" actually appeared in it.
If "Google trusts fooPage" becomes a standard, recognised triplet, I see no reason why this won't be extended to "Google trusts userX", which becomes "ebay trusts userX" etc.
It's very possible they're looking to the future, and have more in mind than "there's probably no pr0n on this page"...
>>I wonder what penalty is incurred by the packet inspection overhead? I betthings run better with a plain-jane nat router and NO filters or rules to slow things down..
Consistantly, and to any server, or is that is worst case scenario with a poor server? TFA's worst ping times were about 110, which isn't great, but 300 is going to make you cannonfodder. I'd be angered to the point of murderous rage if I spent a bundle of bills on this kind of server, and got that kind of performance.
Maybe if you'd RTFA, you'd have noticed that it provides both automatic and configurable packet prioritization, meaning you ping to the server remains pretty much constant whether or not others on your WAN are uploading, downloading, or both.
You know the British secret service use color coded bikini's for terror alert levels. Black-Special Bikini has got to be the coolest alert level around:)
Precisely. When some demonstrators in England were sued by McDonalds for defamation for claiming that thier animal-raising practices were cruel, and the food was unhealthy, among other things, they didn't win - even after 7 years, and 16 million dollars legal feels, against two self-represented defendants. It was not conclusively proved that their animal practices were not cruel, and that their food was healthy.

If it's for pure aesthetics, wouldn't a replica do? After all, as you said, its value is symbolic - commemorating it with a symbol doesn't seem inappropriate.
We had some very good project management classes in college. During one, the lecturer asked us to give answers to a pop-quiz, but we could give the answer as a range, for example, for "How long is the Danube" you could guess "1000-1500km" with no limits.
Even with the benefit of fixing our estimates as we liked, the entire class did very poorly. The morals of the story were
a) people are over optimistic in the accuracy of thier predictions
b) even, in our case, when we could have given zero-to-infinity ranges, we tied ourselves to restrictively narrow frames.
I thought it was fascinating, it's one of the few classes I remember vividly.
Well, no. You see, a lending institution is going to want collateral on a loan, and "My kid is really bright, he'll have a great job in no time" is not going to cut it.

Oussamas? I'm not sure, are they a kind of pie?

You might consider one of these and PuTTY-S60. I can ssh into my home computer just fine with a 6630 :)
That would be around the time you could get a bash terminal on apple machines...

I'll give you a clue - you can stick your hand into an oven at 100 degrees very safely, but you can't stick your hand into a pot of boiling water :)
Additionally, they [sony] are making a hell of a lot more money from their film and entertainments branch than from their consumer electronics.

That is an inarguably good point, sir.

Those are especially hard to break out of. If you're not careful they devolve down to

"you can easily use its loopholes for things like infinite CD burning" or, say, bypassing the DRM encoding?
