I noticed on Alias that both the good guys and the bad guys always used the same couple of racks of Dell servers, and that the good guys had Apple laptops. I think it was in the third season that the Apple logo suddenly got covered with a red circle, though.
They both fail the SOOB test, though -- Still Only One Button.
And maybe some day expresscard will be viable, but for now it means that the MacBook can't do EVDO.
I must admit a healthy skepticism about any fossils coming out of China. While it certainly is the case that the Gobi is a treasure trove, even after they've been grinding them up for hundreds of years as "medicine", faking and altering fossils seems to be rampant.
The Macbook *still* only has one mouse button, and offers no pccard slot, only some uselessly speculative expresscard slot. Is this haphazard, or just stupid?
It will not in fact be good for farming. Changes in climate will affect what crops will grow well in existing agricultural areas, and fertile land will be flooded.
As for our aging population, they mostly live in Florida, so they'll drown when the entire state goes underwater.
[i]Most importantly, why would you pay a rediculous [sic] amount of money for a smaller amount of flash storage than a microdrive, if something even better than both these solutions is just around the corner?[/i]
When I bought my 4G CF card, it wasn't substantially more expensive than a 4G microdrive. It still has no moving parts and has weathered a number of jolts. It also still pulls less current.
An overpriced Apple display in an article that talks abot avoiding expensive equipment is hysterical.
I also suspect that the average physican already has a laptop that would serve just as well.
[i] What Linux needs is a speedy lightweight photo viewer with the simplest, most handy photo editing facilities. No need for brushes or active editing, just the standard brightness/contrast/rotate/crop/resize/balance tools that are needed to touch up photos, [/i]
You just described XV. Been out for years and I use it every day.
Those of us in rural and undeveloped areas will continue to have the same problems if/when wimax actually happens.
o) Customer density. Providers will set up service where they have high customer density. I could have DSL here, but Verizon can't be bothered to update the antiquated equipment in the site that serves me. They similarly can't be bothered to put a cell tower near me.
o) Rural and undeveloped areas tend to have trees and hills, that will continue to be problems for wireless last-mile technologies.
Wimax, like EVDO, will largely sell based on "coolness" to customers who already have myriad affordable connectivity options.

I'll buy that. In the past I had to run services on BSDI boxes and some of the hardware the integrator shipped was abysmal. Buslogics 946 SCSI controllers were the spawn of Satan. The difference when I got in a DPT was night and day.

I guess you didn't notice how their stupidity horqued Galileo.
I know someone who worked at Microcult. He stood up in a "warroom" meeting and argued strongly that ME not be released.

You've never twiddled thumbs waiting for OpenOffice to fire up, I'll bet.

Not if you eat sterno.
I've seen them firsthand. Not much else to do in Marfa ;)
Duh. And how exactly is one to know if a sight [sic] is reputable, or even if a SITE is?
You speak authoritatively on people's needs, yet don't undersstand that "raw" is not an acronym?
Dude, if you can't ride a fscking *train* for a few minutes without surfing the net for g04t pr0n, you quite desperately need to acquire a life.
WTF is a "thrashbag"?
Don't forget to add in the cost of setting up an MS-DOS machine to run it on.

From whom did you really transfer at 20 mbit/s? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Then they pulled out of New Kensington and the town died. Guess I don't see that as being benefitted.
Your average rural area doesn't have convenient ten story buildings.
The percentage of people who give a rat's ass about AMD vs. Intel in the marketplce is tiny. Few even know the names or understand the difference.
Or maybe you need turnaround of less than a day.
