Apple are likely to continue supporting the G5 for at least three years at this point. And when they stop will the current G5 boxes suddenly stop being usable for XBox 360 developement?
No, I shouldn't think so.
Even after all that - chances are that IBM will start shipping developement workstations with PPC 970FX chips in them.
Personal I'd rank the doctors in order as:
Peter Davison,
Tom Baker,
Christopher Eccleston,
Colin Baker,
Patrick Troutan,
Paul McGan,
William Hartnell,
John Pertwee,
Sylvester McCoy,
For a combination of acting and scripts. For pure acting McCoy and McGan would be higher, but they were crippled by attrocious scripts.
If the car runs on ordinary petrol then 100% of its energy input comes from fossil fuels - for electricity production in Japan a significant amount comes from other sources (mostly nuclear). Add to this the fact that a large power-station has certain economies of scale allowing it to burn more efficiently than a car's internal combustion engine and it becomes aparant that this is very likely to produce some improvement - though perhaps not as large a one as might initialy be assumed.
I wouldn't say that large numbers of people will never change to something else. I would be absolutely shocked if microsoft still dominate the market in 2100 in the way they did in 2000 (i wouldn't be suprised if they still exist, but I wouldn't be suprised if they don't either).
It's the nature of things that the status quo always changes, given long enough. But I do agree that the modern so-called MS-Killers aren't anything of the kind.
(I'm a long-term Linux user thinking of switching to a mac soon - and my non-technical friends have mostly been converted oover to Linux or MacOS at this point - but I don't think it's likely to happen to everyone anytime soon)
Agreed, very irritating the way that people assume that Computer == PC == Windows. Seeing software labeled as available for "PC" is particularly irritating, since I'm running a PC, but without windows it's an entirely different platform.
It's a nifty technology which allows a chip to be written to as well as read from, but remain persistant in the manner of a ROM. Very few so-called ROMs these days are actualy read-only -- you just write to them occasionaly, and read from them often.
Since when do you need to weed your way through the entire emerge manpage in order to install software?
My (pretty much non-technical) girlfriend managed to pick up the idea of:
emerge -s keyword
to search for what she wants and
emerge -p name
to see what it would install, then
emerge name
to install it. What's more she can easily cope with:
emerge -uDN world
to update all the packages on the system. Simple - no weeding through a (very easy to understand) manpage required.
A section of the brain which is clearly overdeveloped amongst the English and underdeveloped amongst Americans.
I mean it's not like ever second thing I say is sarcastic.
I think you are confusing Sweden with Norway, which is generaly considered a bad move. Like confusing America and Canada, or New-Zealand and Australia.
That's actualy not the case. As a part of customs and excise rather than the inland revenue the TV licensing people do have limited freedom to "board" private property.
Familiarity is an issue, I always open firefox when on the computer of one of my friends who primarily uses Opera.
One of his housmates always opens IE;-/

The implementation they're talking about has some flaws in it, but the concept of a compulsary ID card seems very reasonable to me.
No, I shouldn't think so.

Don't know about the US, but in the Uk educational use fo copyright material is protected by law.

I think there's a much simpler explanation of why he's so attached to Rose ...

Computers are sentient - you mean sapient.
I think you mean Sapient. It so irritates me when people mix those two up - bloody startrek.

Or like, say, a peace prize settup by the man who invented dynamite ...

I would have expected the MPAA to be one of the most frequent users of a bittorrent search service.

does windows have en equivalent? I think not.
Surely it would only be libertarianism if you horded it in your basement next to your massive collection of guns?

It means anything created by artifice, ie. human labour and skill.

MOST EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE IS PC BASED.
And if we were advocating a change of hardware that might be relevant.
If you said that most educational software (which I have never actualy seen used in a school) is Windows based you might have a point.
emerge sync; emerge -u world;etc-update.
wouldn't emerge -uN world be better?
