The original Macintosh was a work of art. Both the hardware and firmware/software were optimized as well as possible. Read the interview, it's quite interesting.
I have a collection of most 68000 compact macs and play with them every now and then, they're quite fascinating little machines. I can feel the amount of bloat between every release. System 1.0 boots in 2-3 seconds from a floppy! (System 7 takes about a minute from a hard disk on the same hardware). Some of the difference is of course due to the few features but mostly it's the difference between compiled C and hand-tuned ASM.

In Europe, the Toyota 2.4 litre Diesel engine (usually found in Hiaces and Hiluxes) is famous for its reliability and durability. It's commonly used to power boats long after the car body has detoriated.
I also do full-time coding, but I have a lot more windows and palettes open than you do (60-200). My dual screen configuration resolutions are 1440x900 and 2304x1728. More is always more productive, I wish I had room for more displays.

If this place you describe is filled with dead religious fanatics, I'd rather go anywhere else, dead or alive. On the other hand, if those texts aren't supposed to be taken literally, I think the whole heaven/hell dilemma is about:
a) If you live a good life, people will have good memories about you when you pass away (heaven). b) If you live a bad life, people will have bad memories about you and make stories about you to scare children (hell). c) If nobody knows you and you wont ever make anything significant, nobody will miss you (limbo).
In cases a and b, you'll be given an "eternal life" if you are good or bad enough.
For example: a) Jesus from Nasareth was surely a great prototype hippie and a good person so people made a famous tale about him. He got an "eternal life" in heaven. b) Lord Dracula probably a very cruel man. People made many famous tales about him. He got an "eternal life" in hell. c) (You) got the idea?

Compressed air, maybe? You should know that vacuuming hardware is a very bad idea. Static electricity kills semiconductors, such as integrated network chips!
To change colors in safari, just make a custom stylesheet and select it as the default stylesheet. Allows changing much more atuff than just default backgrounds.

Most adult Joe Users won't even notice the difference in other terms than stability and customizability. Believe me, I have done a Linux installation on almost every windows luser who comes to me and complains that their computer (windows) is broken and needs some repairing. : ) They won't complain as long as they have a DE (usually KDE or Gnome), some card games, a web browser (Mozilla Firebird) and email app (kmail).. And of course OpenOffice and some image viewers so they can open up email attachments. Make sure to not give them the root passwd (and make sure you remember it). Also make sure to install the/home partition on a separate partiton, because the distro needs to be replaced or upgraded sometime in the future. Usual things to worry about: DEVICE DRIVERS! (Win lusers usually buy the cheapest and most incompatible hardware available).
There's plenty of sunlight even in the winther. Snow won't melt easily because it reflects the light. Try spreading ashes or other dark material on the snow and much of it will melt.
Just to nitpick, OS'es since 7.1Pro are able to mount FAT floppies as long as you have a HD floppy drive. Before 7.1Pro, you had to use the Apple File Exchange application or some third party utility.
Sorry, this is not what fat binaries are for. Fat binary was a ugly quick&dirty hack that ruined the beautiful, clean design of resource forks. A better way would have been to use for example "PPCD" resources for PPC machine code and "CODE" for existing 68k binary code. The NeXT approach of MacOSX is however much more scalable. It works really well in OpenStep bundles.
That's probably because his father toyed with bots when he was a kid. If he built and programmed C3PO, he should know something about droid protocols too. There are people in the real world that understand the meaning of the meaningless beeps and clicks of morse code.
Actually, Pathways into Darkness was the first Bungie game. It was released in early nineties, in Wolfenstein 3D era. The Marathon series kicked ass in gameplay compared to Doom. IMHO the Marathon levels kicks Quake ass too.

Not really, I have had some 240V kicks and just got an uncanny buzzing feeling.
Human conductivity is quite low.
The chunk was probably just some dust in the air floating around.
Ruby comes standard with MacOS X

The native version is postponed to the 2.0 release.
It will be released in late 2005 or early 2006.
Because people are driving more efficient vehicles now than then.

Hey, Amiga has GenLock! That's why it's still used in video business.
The toughest challenge for computers is to learn how english sounds are spelled. Lots of exceptions and few rules.
