not completely sure why everyone's so fasinated by apple @/., but this is a pretty good site for those interested http://www.apple-history.com/ anyway I feel this is like history repeating itself sort of...maybe jobs is hoping for even more money;-)

its probably part of Google's world domination plan.
"Don't be evil" seems like it is aimed at the moral vote...
canadiates in last presidential election should have picked up on this.
well anyway I just wanted to say something about our future...
dual cpu and gpu... I'm betting the same people who bought SLI configs are going to buy dual core... the problem with dual core vs. SLI is that people can buy one video card now and one later... which is not the case with dual core
anyway I wonder if this all started people buying two of the same ram modules for more bandwidth performance
better have a big wallet...looks like a lot of geeks will be window shopping...
the low-end Opteron 865 chip will cost $1,514 USD
dual-core Opteron 870 will run $2,149, with the Opteron 875 priced at $2,649

I personally used maxthon, because there were a lot of things that firefox had in extensions that maxthon had bundled in (so that it was just a matter of turning the feature on under the options)...
To give firefox some credit...it's a lot more clean
the fact that maxthon is used over IE...makes it very compatible...it also has many extensions just like firefox, but lots of the stuff has been integrated and runs very smooth
I also liked so minor features...like highlighting text and dropping to open all the highlighted links. I felt it was easier for me to operate the way things were setup
forumthe community is pretty fast and requests often get a good quick reply a lot of the stuff is run by Tara, who's extremely responsive

have totally lost thier sense of priorities?
1.) patenting every permutation of a 4 bar would be very expensive simply because there are so many patents to file.
2.) lawyers are the main issue...you can't outgun the riaa...
3.) artists would *gasp* play the same junk of people before them. the record companies have rights to those people. Imagine if the music industry sold an image instead of good music, how horrible and scary! (by the way Britney Spears Announces She's Pregnant)

It doesn't matter if RIAA killed a person, they would probably go to court and make up something like "they had strong intentions to pirate and they wouldn't buy our product"
seems like tv is trying to issues from real-life and then making them "work" in a tv fashion. I mean they call it reality tv, but it is always done in a tv fashion... the CSI's and law and order are just like issues on the news only they get that perfect resolve by tv standards...it makes everyone feel good.
anyway most stuff on the tv stinks...seinfeld is good and saturday morning cartoons are awful...
the cartoons have losted it and they are so repetetive and uncreative...its no wonder why we're starting to borrow anime from japan...sigh... the "NEW" TMNT, transformers, and sonic are not up to par with the old versions...its a really sad and boring lineup that's living off the old stuff
I remember seeing the new disney channel movie was being shown 3 times in a row STRAIGHT!
well there's this crazy team of black hats called microsoft or M$ and they make very contagious viruses (aka features) and they release them in waves (i.e. windows ME, windows 98)...
anyway linux is being used to protect everything from M$'s contagious diease. It's like sun block for skin cancer. It's there but not everyone uses it.
Are you sure it isn't being made by Oompa-Loompas?(the foreign race of people who are happy to work for basically nothing in a closed-off factory far from inspectors)
the arm vs. core... anyway it's my favorite game ever especially after downloading a few thousand new units and installing a 5000 unit patch and few races and mods here or there. from 1996 and still actively modded
here's the story
"Long ago, the galaxy had known peace. Paradise was ruled with the hand of science, and the hand was that of the galactic governing body known as the Core. Ironically, it was the Core's ultimate victory, the victory over death itself, that brought about the downfall of its paradise and started the war that would decimate a million worlds. The immortality process, known as "patterning," involved the electronic duplication of brain matrices, allowing the transfer of consciousness into durable machines. Effectively it meant immortality, and the Core decreed the process mandatory for all citizens in order to ensure their safety. However, there were many citizens unwilling to toss aside their bodies so casually, many indeed who regarded patterning as an atrocity. They fled to the outer edges of the galaxy, forming a resistance movement that became known as the Arm. War began, though it was never officially declared by either side. The Arm developed high-powered combat suits for its armies, while the Core transferred the minds of its soldiers directly into similarly deadly machines. The Core duplicated its finest warriors thousands of times over. The Arm countered with a massive cloning program. The war raged on for more than 4,000 years, consuming the resources of an entire galaxy and leaving it a scorched wasteland. Both sides lay in ruins. Their civilizations had long since vanished, their once vast military complexes were smashed. Their armies were reduced to a few scattered remnants that continued to battle on ravaged worlds. Their hatred fueled by millennia of conflict, they would fight to the death. For each, the only acceptable outcome was the complete and utter annihilation of the other."
you have to understand the people, bestbuy caters to...suckers...
the bestbuy people are JUST salesmen...they are a bunch of liars, if it wasn't for real pc people...these idoits would be making up words.
How bad are they?
no one and i mean no one from bestbuy knows what they're doing...after talking to those idoits, I EVEN feel confident. never expect rebates and pricematch; those concepts are theoretical, it's kind of like I can win the lottery, but will I? maybe but most likely not
unethical practices
Best Buy wants to take away freedom of speech and they don't respect thier customers at all article
and best buy for being so racist

"Earlier this year, Mr. Anderson apologized in writing to students at a Washington, D.C., school after employees at one store barred a group of black students while admitting a group of white students."
why i manage with my pc
for windows problems
I normally don't have problems with my pc simply because I love playing with apps and I have downloaded literally thousands of apps...so I can find a fixes for lots of windows problems or I can just go to some forum and ask at slashdot. but if things go really bad I can be brainless and but a knoppix cd in my cd drive. It gives me a sense of satisfaction to get the most out of my aging pc. I actually am very through looking for good software, so my pc has ran smoothly for years
for hardware problems
I know many hardware and vendor review sites so I can always snag something that won't fail me
a glimpse into the future
Microsoft has changed the constitutions of the world to ban linux and every other competitor
Microsoft's notable acquisitions include Google, the US justice department, and the EU commision...and just about everything else in the universe

they'll look better if they get game studios to "commit" to thier console and thus we may never see what some developers really had to offer the pc.
Nintendo hasn't really done this, and they've been pegged for making a lot of "first-party" games and lacking good third-party games.

why did Microsoft release these tips so late? this would have helped before Apple released thier product...
view and print pdfs this software seems a lot faster to me don't know about compatibility http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
but i think there is piracy because people have pcs connected to the internet;
they don't think too much about other stuff, but actually just about getting the tunes...
oh yeah and free is an attractive price
