If you're livin' in a bubble and you haven't got a care
Well, you're gonna be in trouble 'cause we're gonna steal your air
'Cause what you got is what we need and all we do is dirty deeds
We're the Spaceballs! Watch out, 'cause we're the Spaceballs
We're the masters of space
Hey, don't mess around with the Spaceballs.
Uh!
Going cruisin' in a spaceship, we're so good at being bad
We'll destroy your little planet if you ever get us mad
We're mothers of the galaxy
You better scatter when you see
The Spaceballs! Watch out, we're the Spaceballs!
I have nothing wrong with tasteful nudity. Art, books to an extent. But "Cum see Cindy get fucked and then eat a load of cumm!" isn't artwork. It isn't a book. It is a disgusting display of women and men. It's shameful.
Apple motherboards are made by ASUS. So? You can't buy them... same thing with the new Intel boards. They will be customized for Apple only. The current boards? They are custom made to fit the holes in the back of the G5.
I already have one that supersedes that... "Using an electronic device to perform actions"
I also have one that patents, "Respiration involving Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide as well as other gasses deemed 'waste' by the object in question for the purpose of changing the concentration of Oxygen in a stream."
All you people that aren't zombies, start paying up!
My PowerBook has helped me with my schoolwork. I take notes in Word or TextEdit, draw diagrams in OmniGraffle, etc. I have done quite a bit of amazing work off of this machine, including exploring our school's computer network.
Also a great feature is that my PowerBook is always asleep. I can use my laptop more often if I don't have to wait for it to come out of hibernation, etc. Plus the fact that I don't worry about spyware or viruses while some of the other kids in my class bring their laptop to school and then can't use it because it is so messed up with malware.
I also do video work with Final Cut Express and it really makes a difference when the teacher asks for a video project. No "edited in the camera" crap but professionally done video work.
So while this is a bit of a plug for Apple, the iBook and the PowerBook make great companions for 10th grade and up students. I wouldn't recommend any laptop for below 10th grade... it just isn't needed. Even in highschool it isn't always needed. But if you have the right tools then the computer works for you, not against you.
And the fewer games available for OS X are a bit of a plus in terms of distraction.:-)
A 5400rpm drive will be fine. I have one in my PowerBook 12" G4 and have never had any problems. I have done very little live capture but capturing afterwards has always worked great, along with the editing.
iBooks will sleep when their lid is closed as well.
There are some solutions on Google but the best I can offer is just to black out the screen. Turn the brightness (F1 and F2) down (F1) until it hits zero bars. Perfect! Just make sure it doesn't fall asleep on you... or you on it...
Or, from another religious point of view, their own seed of life?
Don't want to start a huge argument over this but please... don't drag religion into this. Unless you are going to make fun of it. Then it is funny and ok to do so.
The other thing to note, is that while some people may be money rich but time poor, there are equally many more others who are time rich but money poor.
And for those who are not money rich and not time rich, what options do we have? OS X is set up in less than 30 minutes. Windows is set up in a few hours. Linux has taken too long to get working and therefore not worth spending more time on it which is unfortunate since I'd like to use it.
Actually all of my hardware was supported with Ubuntu. However, I could not get WINE to work. I was lost. I figured out to add the repository, searched for WINE, checked it and then told it to download and install, etc. I was happy that I didn't have to bother with a CD key, restart, etc through all of this. But then once it said it was done... nothing. How did I start WINE? Configure it? View a ReadMe file?
Under Windows it is a messy pain but you at least can run the program. Under OS X you control where the program is. But under Linux, nothing. I'd love to use Linux as my primary x86 OS but it frustrates me that the support out there is nearly nonexistant. The IRC help channel, Google, Ubuntu itself, none of them were able to help. And when I installed Windows 2000 and it overwrote the MBR... oh well. Firefox was broken anyway. There wasn't any QA work done before it was dumped into the update stream.
If you want to help me, just let me know. I'd love to know that the open source community is helpful towards new members without just saying "RTFM!" because the manual is for a different version and a different subset of something and is worth nothing.
Sorry for the rant, but that's a part of the reason why I believe Linux isn't ready for the desktop.

Did John Titor give you that video card?
So pilots now wear silver underwear while dancing? Fascinating, really.
I agree. We need underwear that is only a few meters apart. To minimize air resistance, yknow?
I'll wait for the dupe.
Steve Jobs makes $1 per year. Everything else is stock options.
...you can't be using dial-up.
There is a difference between art and porn.
You may be smart enough to see what's real and what isn't, but remember... "People are inherently stupid."
Wow! DVDs are going to be over 200 Megabytes!?! I must have missed the dupe story on that one! Just think of all the video that 200MB can hold!
Well, hows that for small? Don't even need a power cable! Booya!
And to eliminate the Slashdot effect jokes now... does their webserver run on one of these?

Can't buy that, can you?

Could someone explain what they are and what they do? I know their lawsuits and claims.. but what is the SCO?
Extraterrestrial hitchhikers. I heard Arthur Dent wanted to see if Earth was still existing on this probability axis.

And Microsoft, for example, even longer.

I'd like to talk to you about your sig but there isn't any other way to contact you but this one. Sorry everybody...
