Well the poster you're replying to did use irony correctly. He's pointing out how ironic it is that the parent is complaining about dupes when he has an exact duplicate of a sentence found in the post directly above his. Good luck with you're heaven.;)
No, although I wish the thing would have burned down. The first time I passed through there I was so disappointed that the World's Largest Thermometer was a stick with lights on it. I wanted an actual thermometer. I've hated Baker ever since.
I went to high school with these kids, so I'll let em know. I just got back from LA and was passing through Baker and Vegas. The temperature in Baker was 116F and when I stopped in Vegas it was 118F. The ice in my drink melted about 45 seconds after I left IN-N-OUT. I'm glad to be back in Utah where it's only 100F. Of course, we still have Orrin Hatch to deal with...:)
Now I know the pictures in TFA are of a developer's kit, but I'm hoping the hardware for the release models looks a hell of a lot better than that.
It's a good thing apple has an entire year before they actually ship a finished product. This is just a thrown together system to help out developers. The final product will look nothing like it.
Why would Microsoft make it incompatible? They don't make their own hardware and couldn't care less what hardware people are running Windows on so long as they purchased a legal copy.
We've used that RDF to create a search application...
Steve Jobs is the only one using any RDF to get applications made. Has he finally gotten a distortion field so big that others think they have them? hmmmm....
I've tried that. The problem is that half the applications won't even let you install as a limited user and usually if you install it as an admin you have to run it as an admin. Windows is a complete joke when trying to run as a limited user, especially for those who have limited computer knowledge. Try explaining to dear old mom how to change the install directory to a seperate folder for each person. OS X lets you be secure running as an admin and root is not the default account as administrator is with windows.
I wasn't calling you stupid, I was calling your logic stupid. You seem to imply that he doesn't give movies bad reviews, which is not the case. You are saying that he doesn't have the courage to say this movie sucks. My point is that he doesn't have to, because he obviously liked it. You are bashing him because he won't harshly rate a movie that A) You haven't seen and B) He quite possibly could have enjoyed. It seems to me if he liked a movie then writing a positive review of it is the definition of "courage of conviction." You want him to say this movie sucks or that some other movie he liked sucked, which is your opinion. Not his. Get it?
While I do agree that the thumbs up/thumbs down thing is not the same as when Siskel was there, I think it's a huge error to say he "doesn't have the balls" to write that the movie is crap. Could it be possible, just maybe, that he liked the movie? Ebert is not a critic who bends his opinion to the public will and he's given bad reviews to what I consider to be good movies, and vice-versa. Saying that he is afraid to write what *you* think he should or what someone else wrote is just stupid. You're not him and the author you linked to are not him and I think it is possible that his opinion might differ from the other author.
If you actually read any of Ebert's stuff, you would know that he says to ignore his star ratings. Ebert isn't a great film critic because he always gets it right or only likes what are unanimously considered good movies, but because he writes his opinion and explains why he arrived at his conclusion. No one is going to agree with a film critic all the time because opinions vary from one person to another. However, if you read his reviews, whether you agree with him or not, you can still see the value in them.
AMEN! How can the editors expect us to be interested in the story if they won't give us enough information? I understand keeping it brief so that we can read more if we choose to, but we need something to wet our tastebuds.
I consistently get around 4 hours on my 12" PowerBook with monitor dimmed to slightly less than half. I do turn bluetooth off, but I leave the airport on and I rarely get less than 4 hours unless I'm doing something pretty intensive, in which case I'm usually plugged in.
I wonder if this falls under the protection of the service provider. It seems to me that they shouldn't be able to charge the user for a vulnerability on their part, but what companies should do and what they actually do are very different things.
I think among college age students Apple is gaining a large portion of the market share. At my university I see about a 1-1 ratio of Apple laptops to Windows laptops. You're right about the small percentage of desktops, but I would imagine that Apple is getting into the college arena with hopes of swaying young people to stick with Apple in the future.

The story should contain another link to the guy's site so we could slashdot the asshole. http://www.rentamark.com/

I made that same joke in December... it didn't take, though.
Dude, have you seen the pictures? It's EXACTLY like a Mac Mini. It's not just small.

But you'll forfeit that right soon after getting your first Mac. :)

So, because you post all the time and you always get modded down, are you going to get banned soon?
Most likely he meant qualms.
Yeah, I guess you're right. He probably meant to be a prick, I just saw a possibly funny interpretation of it. Oh well.
I thought it was kinda funny. I'm pretty sure that was his intention in which case, people need to lighten up.
Ever heard of a company called Pixar?
Wouldn't this be better suited in the Hardware section? I fail to see how this is Apple other than Microsoft saying not to buy an iPod.

Points out his discusses? WTF Timothy?! This is worse than the dupes the editors usually put up. At least those have links.
