Only problem with that is when you try to do something under Linux and then NOBODY HELPS YOU. I tried to install WINE under Ubuntu. It took a week to learn that I needed to add a repository (which was confusing, seeing as the repository was added but needed some extra checkmarks that nobody bothered to tell me). Then WINE downloaded, great. I like the whole package system where it automagically gets the packages for you. That is a good idea, honestly. Only one problem. I couldn't figure out how to start up WINE! And nobody would help!
So in conclusion, Linux is great for what it is designed to do. But if you begin to stray outside of the bounds of the distro it quickly becomes an exercise in futility. Ever seen a help system for a Linux distro? At least Windows has one, although it is broken. Someone want to get people to switch to Linux? Get a freakin' help system in place so that I don't have to waste time clicking at stuff, getting annoyed, and then decide to give up altogether because it didn't work.
And when you are squeezing someone's heart to keep them alive, can you take time off to pick up the phone?
Thought not.
And before people start to freak out-- yes, my dad did have to squeeze someone's heart to keep them alive. It worked. The man was extremely grateful that my dad did this, because my dad didn't even have to stop in-- he was just seeing if he could help. Did it throw off the schedule for the rest of the day? Yes.
But because it saved one person's life, it was worth it.
The medical profession, the good people, are about saving lives. They don't let anything else get in their way from saving lives, even if it means some other people get unconfortable.
Come sit under the bulls-eye. I bet you will think differently. One or two nukes? Nothing big, really-- until you are the one that watches them coming down at you...
Living in San Diego, I am within 100 miles of Camp Pendelton, Miramar Air Station, Point Loma, and Navy Pier. It is a major target, because there are a lot of nukes around here-- the Point Loma Naval Base is where the 'boomers' come to dock. The nuclear subs that can take out most the world by launching all their missiles? When that North Korean nuke comes down at Point Loma to get rid of those subs, I sure as hell will remember you-- because it is, "only one or two nukes."
Please let me know when we no longer need hard drives, and we no longer need to "boot" our PCs every time we switch them on.
Ever heard of a Mac's sleep mode? My PowerBook has routinely hit a 10, 15, and upwards # of days uptime because of this instant off/instant on sleep mode. It is a great idea, and works really nicely.
I smell a Slashdottin'. That sounds like a nice way to get back the 38.225 seconds of my wasted life on that site...the smell of burning webserver. Zonk, can you help us out with this one?
Then the monthly updates can be set client side however the client wishes to handle it. daily or weekly or monthly. whatever they wish to handle. at the time.
Software Update for OS X. Been doing that since 10.0. And it comes, by default, to check weekly and on the computer's first run.
At most your Classic environment would have problems. Classic is completely separate from OS X proper. You could then reinstall Classic. However, most viruses spread via floppy so the chanced of a floppy being virus-laden with OS X is 0.
Apple's marketshare is over 3%, usually because of the huge number of old Macs still in use. Consider the LC 575s my aunt uses in her classroom. Those count as marketshare, but I doubt they've ever really been counted. In short, marketshare is a marketing term to make you think something that isn't.
The Earth is so bright, it overpowers the stars. If you play with your brightness and exposure, you may be able to see faint outlines of them, however the movie isn't the highest quality movie ever, so it may take a lot of fiddling with your controls. Rest assured however, I have not stolen them all yet.
Apple Confidential. Great book. Gives you much more insight to why things worked out the way they did. I think they have Apple Confidential 2.0 now, but the original was great and the new revision ought to be as well.
I've got my 12" PowerBook
Power adapter
128MB USB flash drive (it was $10!)
4 blank CDs
1 Linux-based CD that can overwrite the SAM files of Windows computers, thus allowing admin access
Earbud headphones that roll into their own case
Small mini-mouse thing
CAT5 cable (not a crossover cable, PowerBook is smart enough not to need it)
Various USB/FireWire/etc. cables depending on what is needed
Oh, and the laptop bag is a 15" bag.. but it was a present. So I can go on vacation for about a week on what I pack in my laptop case. Heavy as hell though....

Should have had a CT scan done within 6 months. If you have an H.H.O. consider yourself lucky you aren't dead yet. Otherwise, the doctor is at fault.

...that's great about the U.S. and all, but what about Israel? What did they ever do to Iran?

However, it could also cut down on the amount of SCAM on eBay.
Funny, the BB staff pretends to tell me about their products but then just pays me to leave so I don't make them look bad.

Don't worry about old viruses...
Somebody shoot parent with a shot of IQ please. We yet may be able to counter the effects of stupidity!
Needed an excuse to downsize... er, happysize the workforce.

Toilet paper is double sided for a reason!
The reason they use older (slower) processors is because of radiation. They don't want bits to get flipped around. Slow and precise is fine.

I thought that they had come up with mice that would regenerate after my slightly acidic sweat ate at them for a few years...:-/

Oh, and ignore the neutrality warning. It's a great and interesting read (at least it was 5 minutes ago :-)
What if we had a Beowulf cluster of these?
We can have the:
Gstring!
G-sized bra!
C'mon guys, run with Google Clothes!
Tell me, how would I learn that little command string to input?
