If it's stuff they really don't want stolen, why not buy a safe for his car? Better yet, give him a company truck/van with secure storage.
If they have 365,000 patients (customers) then they can surely afford to protect their information.
I think hunting should also be banned, because little kids may get a hold of guns or knives and decide that Chief Wiggam looks a lot like a doe.
On that note, sex should also be banned, because impressionable kids who find out that one has a hole and the other has a pole may do it, permanently scarring themselves...
But would Jobs really expect to trick MS into the losing battle of creating their own MP3 player? Of course not! He's secretly hinting that they...erm... buy the other companies making them! That would sound a little bit more like the MS I know and love. Mark my words... if your favorite MP3 player is one other than the iPod, and MS buys the company, I told you so!
Nice flaming, but I just did an impromptu experiment, just to be fair. FF 1.5, Opera 8.5, all extensions off. Initially, Firefox 21MB RAM and Opera was 17MB RAM, both opening to a tab with Google. I opened multiple tabs in each, same websites, alternating. Some flash (miniclip) some java (gmail) and some plain ol HTML. Throughout, memory usage was no more than 5MB apart, although I did notice Firefox using more CPU, most likely because I've increased maximum connections. As for the load times, side by side they're nearly identical, each pulling ahead in a few instances.
Viral marketing probably does play its part, but I doubt that Firefox is "crap" and Opera is "much better."
Most PC-internal DVD players allow you to change regions 5 times by default. External ones, as in for a TV... well, there are ways. Try searching for "region free" and your model number.
Oh, and if a Mr. Valenti or Mr. Cheney call, you don't know me.
Um...DUH!
Haven't you ever seen a horror movie?
What percentage of casualties in those movies happen in broad daylight?
Movies and video games ARE like real life, after all.

DVD burners can now do DVD+R and DVD-R in one, and are finally getting down in price.
And now we have the next turn around, with Blu-ray and HD-DVD. So place your bets, gentlemen. Will one die, as in Betamax? Or will they eventually be combined in a single machine? (Is that possible?)

Aside from the repeat story and population inflation in Europe, look at the data being collected. There's quite a difference between the government seeing WHAT you talked about and the government seeing WHO and WHEN and HOW LONG you talked.
If they're going to make a power grab, I'd rather they see who and when, rather than what, I'm saying. But as it is, I'm in the USA, Land of the Free(TM). My government probably has these powers...they just don't outline them so neatly.
Well, who knows how high it can go? It would've been nice to get in on the IPO. Remember, GOOG is a very young stock. Those amazing highs are often countered by amazing lows later on. -The 1920s, the ROARING '20s, were followed by....worldwide depression. -The 1990s tech bubble, pop!
Also, Google makes most (all?) their money from advertising, not a product sold, which is a tad shaky in itself. What if enough people use Firefox and AdBlock, and block all of their ads?
As for me, I think I'll wait a while before investing in ANY tech company. Heck, something else big and great may come along and Google may go the way of Altavista, for all we know.;)
That's usually what it causes, the fan choking and dying, or just slowing down to the point that it's ineffective. Dust bunnies also hurt airflow a bit, and they're a bit like putting thermal insulation in the one place you do NOT want thermal insulation.
Another thing, you don't want a case dusty when removing/replacing components. Ever try to reseat RAM with dust bunnies floating into the slots?
I'm not familiar with every problem dust causes, but I have worked on many computers that looked like the lint-catcher on a dryer. After vacuuming, many of them magically worked just fine.

Bravo, Firefox.
We've always known that fire-breathing monster > 800 lb. gorilla. It just takes some time for the Old World to realize it.
2GB per chip.
It IS possible for the notebook to have more than one of these chips in it...
Why, again, do we care about the cesspool that is MySpace?
Wouldn't the world actually be a BETTER place if all the users revolted, and the site shut down altogether?

And how do these prices relate to similar services?
