I'm in verizon country and I have MCI for local phone service instead. I also have DSL through MCI. Both have been excellent despite Verizon being responsible for the line.
Think of education like hemp rope. Some will use it for good and useful purposes, some will hang themselves with it, but the majority will do nothing with it except maybe try to smoke it and get high off of it.
Now, to be fair, some of us put our high school years to good use AND got high!
Moore is against things, rather than for things. That's the main problem I have with him. He's a bomb thrower, not a provider of solutions.
Instead, he should have made a movie about what a wonderful president Kerry will make? Moore has been there when people in positions of power have strayed far from doing what is good for society. Sometimes people in power need to be told to stop doing something, just like a little kid doing something naughty needs to be told, "No, thats bad." Moore prefers to stay outside of politics - I think we can all relate to not wanting to get our hands dirty there. To stay true to one's self seems near impossible when you're a politician. Also, Moore does have his goals - vote bush out. Hell, if Kerry would be as bad as bush, i would expect to hear Moore speaking out against him as well.
If you look into the facts, Moore stays much closer to them than Limbaugh does. Moore states that F9/11 is an op/ed piece, but he'll also defend every fact he states in that movie. Limbaugh on the other hand, is someone who speak out for family values while getting three divorces himself. Someone who claims to tell the truth despite having an elaborate drug addiction.

Apple Delays New iMac

Have you looked at the eMac screen? Flat, bright, and sharp are three good descriptions for it. Its a top of the line CRT.
If it was reliable I'd buy one tomorrow, but are they yet?
Congratulations proud soon-to-be ipod owner! Yes, they are reliable. Its the most reliable portable electronics device that I've owned. Yes, I'm sure you've heard horror stories about ipod problems but they're actually quite rare - dare you to find a product that doesn't have horror stories. Even the battery issue is overblown. You can pick up higher capacity replacement batteries that even ship with a tool to open the ipod. Its really not that much worse than installing RAM.
I have heard much anecdotal evidence about couples in their 20s where the woman has to basically act like pornstar in the bedroom in order to interest the guy at all because he's become so desensitized to sex by all the pr0n he's been seeing since he was 16.
I just don't believe it. Men aren't horny anymore unless there's midgets fucking cement mixers? Now, maybe the women are getting some ideas from porn, but to say that it was necessary to keep these men interested in sex is a bit ridiculous.
that makes sense if you never plan to send anyone into space, but a lot of us kind of like that idea. and something that complex isn't something you do all at once.
of course they love the liberation! nothing is more invigorating than a power vacuum! do you assist the liberating forces confident in their abilities, or do you play it more moderate, afraid that a tribal force may reclaim land and not be so friendly to those assisting liberators? (guess which one is the correct answer!)
I don't want to go back to the color chemicals ever again.
When were you doing this? Its been at least 15 years since anyone serious about color work touched chemicals. You feed your prints through a machine that processes the paper for you. With color printing, there's no reason to vary anything in the chemical treatment of the paper unless you enjoy frustration.
you know what sucks? someone putting up a commercial hotspot near your home or office. nyc is so dense to begin with, and now we have networks penetrating each other's walls. verizon is putting WiFi spots around the city - but only their own customers can use them. the 802.11b/g frequency range is limited - a couple people in one area setting up their own wifi networks quickly causes problems. luckily, i've only run into this at work, otherwise verizon would be having trouble keeping aluminum foil off a nearby hotspot.

I'm a US resident but I sold macs for a bit in the UK.
Prices are the same if you don't include tax.
Apple can't reduce its prices by 20% to account for your 20% sales tax. (or whatever the rate may be)
Then again, currency fluctations may also account for some difference. But if you're outside of the US, that should be helping you.

Why is the word "Architect" used to describe someone with an advanced proficiency with RedHat?
Do you build structures out of RedHat?
Is your certification revoked if any of your projects crash ever?

Whatever happened to my decentralized net with no single point of failure?

i doubt its horribly slow, and i can guess which one has better battery life.

you get significantly reduced range and increased noise.
Holyshit, at this rate I will have 1 new input per year. Why can't we wait a couple years and all agree on 1 super format.
Yeah, then they'll come out with double sided bluetooth and the upgrade cycle will start again!
