    GM spends a hell of a lot of time and energy making sure their brakes work

    Good analogy... great timing...DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Corp. is recalling 804,000 full-size pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles because of potential brake problems, federal safety regulators said Tuesday.

  3. Re:$50 ibooks... on How Can Tech Help Fight Education Costs? · · Score: 1

    I have no problem with ANYONE using something until it is no longer useful, but this is definitely not the case. Believe me I know about keeping old equipment aro,und because it works, thats why I still have 3 Mac Classic II's hanging around work with Microsoft Works 3.0 on them. I wish I could get rid of them, but hell if they do not do good as lil spreadsheet beasts.

    A quick ebay search (http://search.ebay.com/ibook-600_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZ R8QQfsopZ1) for 600mhz iBooks shows that they should have had no problem selling the machines for at least $150-200. I know that it takes time, money and a little more effort to do this, but for at least three to four times the profit it would have been well worth it in my eyes.

    But again I know how schools are, I have seen it with my own eyes. Quick and dirty answers with not a whole lot of planning for the future.

  4. $50 ibooks... on How Can Tech Help Fight Education Costs? · · Score: 1

    One way is to not 'give' away old equipment. Just imagine if those hillbillies had givin some effort to selling the ibooks. 4X the profit.

    Wow, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of racists that cruise this site. I also like how they are not strong enough to stand up for what they say, if thats what you really think, don't be a vag and post anonymously. Show your true colors... or lack there of.

    "we've just never seen it before now because we've never had cameras looking at the underside of the spacecraft"

    And to me that is the scariest part of the whole situation. Nobody had thought to take a look until 2003's tragedy.

    Well if its their prerogative to make it difficult, it only hurts them. But again, that does not make it right to steal.

  8. Re:Common knowledge. on Challenging Music Downloading Myths · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ya know, this is really startin to piss me off. If you do not like *legally* downloading the music, then buy the damn cd. Just because something is not setup to your liking does not make it ok to steal. Hell I don't like stopping at all those red lights everyday, but I know if I don't stop there will be hell to pay.
    As adults in whatever country we reside, we know that we have a set of rules that we live by. I can only talk for America here, but if there is a rule/regulation / ordinance that is unfair, and you are in the majority, you can change it. No it is not easy, that's the point. Fight for your rights.

    OK, sorry rant is done.

    No thanks, the iPod III will be the best, more suited for businesses right... right???

  11. Re:500 Million and not one sold in Australia on iTunes Sells 500 Millionth Song · · Score: 1

    I know this will get a couple of *good answers*, but what do you recommend that has the same variety and does not make me buy the whole album/tape/cd for one or two songs, and is legal in the US?

    I think the better way to put it is that the Mac's have a better usability lifetime then the average pc.

  15. Re:This is bull on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 1

    Right, but as stated before it was disabled/taken out of the game. Could have been for the specific reasoning of not receiving an AO rating. Fact stands that without changing the game around you cannot get to the objectionable content.
    Now lets all relax and go shoot some people.

    Deepfried what problems are you having with your 6620 and iSync? I know that the 6620 was not supported till 10.4. But yes the 6620 is a killer phone, that is for sure.
