Apple, Cray, SGI, Sun, and IBM have joined forces to create the ultimate computing machine. It has a variable dpi LCD monitor with resolutions up to 3840x2160, flawless voice and handwriting recognition. It can replace entire datacenters; play full screen movies and 3D video games at 80fps; playback and record 96 simultaneous tracks of 192kHz, 64-bit audio, including DSP plugins; and hold up to a terabyte of RAM and 30 terabytes of disk. It can fit in your pocket, and it runs quiet and cool.
What's the first question asked at the introductory press release?
"Can it run Windows programs?"

Of course the GPL would have prevented all this but that's another topic.
relying on a business model that is about 20 years old, I have no sympathy for them.
Capitalism is older than 20 years, I assure you, as is the business of selling music recordings. There are many business models older than that which are also successful.
American car companies are doing research with hydrogen vehicles. GM and Ford both have experimental Hydrogen ICEs and/or fuel cells.
BMW got a hydrogen-powered race car up to 186 MPH. Not really where the issue is, since hydrogen ICEs aren't all that different from gasoline engines, last I checked.
I often find that an extra 15 minutes spent searching will save me a lot of money in parking. Depends on how much that 15 minutes (of aggravation) is worth to you. If I'm with 3 or 4 other people then it isn't worth it to me.
You can park on the street most places in New York. You just have to remember which day is street sweeping day. Most people who live in Manhattan park their cars in Brooklyn.

Actually, Intel CPUs contain patchable microcode ROMs. You can see the option to enable it when you configure a Linux kernel.
It's enough for me.

How's that, exactly?
Um, that's the definition of a niche market, buddy.
"balance" refers to opposing loud idiots, NOT informative, reasoned debate.

I wonder if it still works. (I can almost figure out what it means.)
Yes, that would be musical recording bit I mentioned.

MS requires that non-MS software sets bit 29 on all custom error codes, giving absurd decimal interpetations of these codes.
is that twenty thousand by ten thousand, or 20 with 5 significant digits by 10 with 5 significant digits.
Oh noes, you made me a foe!
I see a +1 funny. I write that off to someone who didn't finish reading the comment once he got the joke.

Work on your delivery. That would have been funny if only you had stopped after third sentence.
I say this because we already have a way of using hydrogen as fuel. We just don't
Hydrogen ICEs currently have too little range. There is also no efficient way to produce hydrogen (yet).

Grab a MusicBrainz tagger while you're at it.

And the best thing about European trains (on the mainland at least)
There are SMOKING cars. 20% of every train is mandated by French law to be SMOKING.
I can probably spend about $15000
You could trick out a PowerBook and a battery operated Xserve RAID for that much cash.

Look at the 3rd definition. Read other translations and commentary and cross-references. This is a parable and you have missed the point.
OK:
1.) It's "Hear, hear!"
