1.) iTunes is free. 2.) WordPerfect has its own format, which I'm sure it uses by default. 3.) Why does it matter whether it can even understand.doc files?
You apparently didn't even read my reply. I am not arguing the benefits of a Dell vs. a Mac. I have not even hinted at that. If you cannot grasp that, please stop advocating Macs, because you are a very bad example of the rest of us.
Or you can pay for Windows and the software that runs on it. That will bring up the cost of that $450US system.
I am addressing this quote from the original poster. You can buy all-inclusive systems from Dell for under $450 that include an OS and other bundled software. Windows will not bring up the cost of that $450 box. Whether it's got the "Mac experience" or not is not what I'm talking about. I didn't even mention it once!
OK, great. None of what you said changes the fact that a $299 Dell box comes with useful software and an OS, which is what I was trying to prove in the first place.
You're taking that whole sentence out of context. The additional functionality or ease of development or use provided by Java bears a cost, which may or may not be acceptable to the end users.
Slashdot Mirror
On American keyboards, # is shift-3, which is pound on UK keyboards (right?)
just a completely random observation
as in it supports foreign keys in a non-suck manner?
the chicken ranch is only 2 hours away AND you get a complimentary limo!
Did you really have to make that joke MORE obvious?
MIT students have access to higher quality chemistry supplies anf facilities to synthesize their preferred extracurricular activity accelerators.
and you ignored the fact that he's using an operator to compare two string literals?
i'm not a genius
You got that right.
so there's no need for patronizing
Well, that's all you're going to get, because you continue to argue points that we agree on while completely ignoring what I said in the first place.
it made sense to assume replies would also be referring to that
Not when I have TWICE quoted the exact section I was talking about! TWICE! Are you that dense?
And to add the same suite of applications included with the Mac would bring the cost well over $450.
Well over? Unlikely.
I'd call you right, but I don't write advertising copy.
OK, genius.
.doc files?

Hey, that's what they call it!
He's not objecting, just observing. It's sad when every comment on Slashdot is perceived as an attack against its parent.

My point was that Windows and some productivity software is probably included in that $450.
Please tell me you're taking this class so that you are more aware of the techniques being used against you. PLEASE

Dell sells $299 all-inclusive systems with Windows and WordPerfect included. Try again.
That's a bargain to be a beta tester compared to what RealNetworks used to charge!
But demographics aside, why would an ad pop up during the actual content of the show? That's just absurd!
Bugs found during testing aren't that absurd.
They will only continue to make money as long as product placement is considered effective.
Fortunately, product placement IS effective.
Yes, but not every user installs the same JRE. Last time I installed OpenOffice I had to get my own.
Yes, but Java has some peculiar encumbrances in that it requires installation of additional components that are up to the user.

You can freely download .NET compilers from MSDN, and there is the open-source Mono. I don't see the difference.
Now there's Medical Investigations...If you can work some of the elements that make these shows popular into a sci-fi show.
So, predictable stories, overacting, and high production values with a trendy look and beautiful people? Same as usual.
