    You realize that / can signify or, but it also can mean and? So that could be read as a Kirk AND Spock relationship. Scary.

    My next box will be a Sun SPARC running Solaris next to Sony PS3 for games/entertaintment. Nobody sells me CISC crap in 2006.

    So, you seem not to like CISC, even though modern cisc processors can perform on the level of modern RISC/whatever processors, I'm going to assume its because CISC is technicaly an infierior design meathod. So why are you running solaris, which is a macrokernel, also technicaly inferior?

    You did say they "push" against their exaust though, it just sounded like you were saying that the exaust that comes out of the rocket pushes against the exaust that is floating out in space, which isnt true, but if you werent, then all is good :)

    How the heck did you read growing in to my sentace? I said stoping decline, there is a distinct difference between not going down, and going up. As the other poster said, the goverment need tax payers, and our older non-working non-tax paying populating is quickly rising in perportion to our non tax paying population, if the goverment has all those dependants and no income, what are they supposed to do?

    Ok, you are right on the fact that you can't have both, but really, for most stuff there is little or no wait, and after living in a country without national healthcare for a fiew years, you do start to realize that even with its flaws, it is a good thing.

    No, Rockets don't have to push against anything, they accelerate because of Newton's Third Law of Motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The exaust shooting out of the rocket doesn't have to push against anything, it just has to come out really fast, and the rocket will go in the opposite direction.

    Why? I see that your a AMD fan or looser by the fact that you are an idiot, apple is in no way locked into intel, if even 3rd party crackers with no/little source code can get it running on a athlon, how is apple locked into intel?

    IBM didnt give them a low power laptop chip, yeah, and nobody is claiming that they couldnt make both, because they could, theres just no reason too.

    In fact, it wouldn't really be a G5 if it was running on an opteron would it? Although at the moment, AMD workstation chips are cooler than intel, past experiance shows that intel should take the leed in a while, then amd will take it back, and on and on. It is cheaper/easyer for apple to buy everything from the same place than switch companies every 12 months to gain 12% performance.

    Of course, with a customer base like something we dont know because of a sentance without context, someone doesn't care.

    They gave up a crappy obselete graphics chip that didn't even support hardware 2d on their computers for a chip especialy designed for multimedia which seems to be where there steering the mini market to. It is only the beginning if nobody asks, hey, why is it that we assume a chip is crappy just because it has shared memory and cant run WoW at 1600x1200 at 867fps? Like, who cares if its got hardware mpeg decodeing and actualy does opengl operations around the same speed as the 9200? Hey, Apple, why are you making a computer that everyone asked you for, a small form factor media centre pc?

    I dont see a bright future $VENDOR unless people realize they are buying $PRODUCT from a vendor. Yes, I realize that makes no sense, obviously others dont however.

    Oh, I am a slashdot poster myself.

    Its funny that slashdot is filled with continual microsoft bashers and people that keep bashing sony for a rootkit that only runs on microsoft OSes, I mean, if your gonna bash windows, why are you useing it, and if your not using it, why do you care about a problem that only affects it? Blab on about civil libertys, but a corperation can not take them from you, only the goverment can by making laws like the dmca that make reclaiming your liberties illiegal. I say instead of boycotting sony, boycott the u.s.

    Why exactly will it go bye-bye? In order for firefox to go bye-bye, it would have to loose ALL of its market share, and developer base, something I dont think is gonna happen, even if I dont force it down everyone I knows throat. Thats one of the points of open source as far as I know, that it can never go bye-bye.

    Blackcomb is the server counterpart to Vista.

    umm, not, it's not. Blackcomb/vienna is the version of windows that is comming out after vista,ie: the next version of windows. blackcomb/vienna is it vista as xp is to 2000. since its not a server os (although it will most likely come in one) that kinda shoots down your second question, although i do know lots of people who use server versions of windows on their workstations because they usualy are more stable, and have more features (more allowed smb connections)
