Apple attaches a price to all of its repairs. If a genius tech tells you the superdrive needs to be replaced and its 400.00 for example, if the machine is covered under applecare, applecare is charged 400 bucks, not you. Some people misunderstand apples repair process, but they have to keep track of how much repairs cost them.They just charge them to the users specific applecare account... which doesnt cost the user anything - other than buying applecare.
I have been in 6 years and am about to re-up for another 4. The problem I see with military personnel in the IT sector is a double edged sword. They only know an inch of the technology thats out there, but they know it a mile deep. On the converse, technology today in the IT sctor is an extremely hollistic approach. That being said it is more beinificial to know technology a mile wide, and an inch deep. From that point people will learn what they need to know as deep as they need to know it, pending on their job functionality and technology shifts the company itself takes. Military personnel simply have the blinders on, especially since the only OS that is used is Windows for client and server (in 95% of cases).
However I also have one more thing left to say. I have noticed this among Active Duty personnel, as well as Fortune 500 recruiters. It is a systematic trend that military members simply dont know how to think. They know how to perform, but have to be told what to do. This alone is detrimental to the nature of business.
I am a former emloyee of Best Buy. All of their sales and technical support ("Geek Squad") actually are andated to complete online Comuter based Training. Needless to say... it is written at a 3rd graders level, extremely misleading, and technically inapt. They are not taught technical knowledge, they are taught sale methodologies, and how it impacts their department. With this in mind they can ensure themselves theri bonuses for the quarter.
I was working loss prevention at the time. I mentioned to sales managers and operations managers that the techs needed to wear ESD straps at any time when opening equipment, especially equipment that isnt covered under warranty by Best Buy, or owned by Best Buy. I encouraged this becasue it is industry standard to do so, and yes in fact, it looks good to the consumer that techs take proper precautions when installing components. This is a confidence boost to the consumer and raises the reputation level of the techs. Of course they didnt pay any attention to me and called me an idiot... Sigh... Yea of course techs were fired as a constant amount of machined kept coming back in from damage done to them whlie BBY worked on them. Yea, not a smart idea to install components with the power cable still plugged in. Needless to say Ive been in computer maintenance / network admin for the USAF for 6 years adn currently work for Cisco Systems. I quit the job after they asked me to com in at 5 am on a saturday to train the techs, but denied me the opportunity to work as a tech. Losers.
0xFE has an excellent tutorial on Mach-O, which is the file format used by OS X executable files and libraries. It goes into great detail about how Mach-O works, and explains what OS X actually does when it loads and runs an application. Subtopics include Universal Binaries, The Dynamic Linker, Using otool, and other goodies.
GREAT! Lets tell every wanna-be 1337 h4x0r how to screw with excecutables in OS X only to clog messageboards for help when they screw it up.
On the other hand I guess it does ensure job security for those of us WITH brains.
They were marketing the computer type ie. PowerMac, iMac, Powerbook, therein lies different system hardware configurations which are more than capable of running aforementioned software. It is the CUSOMERS discretion to add more memory.
Try understanding how computers work before flaming them.
I had a professor at UNC Chapel Hill tell me he didn't want any laptops in his class, but then the University REQUIRES all Freshman and incoming students to have a laptop. Bottom line was it was his classroom, and his Department Head backed the professor up. Perhaps the University and its Departments thereof need to be on the same page.
Also, Professors of all people should know different students learn in different ways. In particular I'd be happy at UNC with a 'Professor' who isn't a Graduate Student/TA, and one who can natively speak English. Spare me the cultural diversity rebuttal.
It is scientifically proven if not much more than common sense that people can type faster than they can write. In fact most can type without looking at the screen as much as looking down at the paper. So maybe, just MAYBE the Professor at the aforementioned University should think more critically.
Im pretty sure that people who order services like these make enough money to afford them. A mentality like yours reflects similar to those who buy 70k dollar cars and live in an apartment.
Time Warner and Cisco are partners. Time Warner purchases Cisco equipment to provide VoIP and broadband services. Now lets add in a set top cable box. It is not unfeasable that Cisco will develop a way to utilize its virtual private storage solution in to this equation. What does this mean? Cisco becomes a service like TiVo. In fact take this to the service provider level instead of the home user level. Virtual Private Storage provisioned out to ever customer Time Warner has. Can you imagine 200+ channels of on demand video streams over IP to your TV through the cable box? Every single channel Time Warner provides stored on cisco storage clusters to provide consumers with prerecorded (or live) video 24 hours a day! It is actually a TiVo killer unless you want to record, but I dont think Cisco will leave that capability out of its set top boxes when this solution is offered.
Now add home surveilance in to the equation. Not only will your cable be provided on demand via IP video streams, 24 hour a day surveilance is now available. A home security system for your house provided by Cisco Systems, fully integratable to be accessed by your cable set top boxes so you can be weary of intruders before they know you are aware of them. Not only that, the slightest storage capability of these set top boxes can record the video and archive it on a storage solution offered by Cisco Systems, and remember, all provided through Time Warner Cable service.
For those that say Cisco is incapable of speaking to the home user market on the home user level, I have one word for you. Linksys.
You f'in retard. If I am at home why the freggin hell would I use my iPod as a video player. Why dont I just use my PVR/DVR or my DVD player?
Spare me the lecture on RCA connections. Things have changed since the 90's.
Also spare me the sales pitch on the iPod. I work for Apple, and have had an iPod for over a year.
If I want to watch a DVD at a friends house then Ill take the damn DVD over there. I dont regularly plan to spend enough time at a friends house to watch more than one movie.
I am currently a network admin for the USAF. Please remember that this has nothing to do with politics. This has everything to do with government employees using government computers.
If what they are doing is not required for the mission then they do not need to be doing it on a limited bandwidth out of Iraq.
Furthermore it is a COMSEC issue when military personnel currently stationed in a hot zone to discuss their duties on messageboards.
It has been a long standing policy since I have been in that government computers are not for PERSONAL use.
I dont hear people complaining State side that webmail, gmail, yahoo mail, and hotmail access are blocked from on base/government computers. I know ACC blocks them.
So what is the big deal? It looks like someone is running their mouth without knowing what they are talking about.

Why the fuck did they allow it in the first place?

Practical.
Google would be the biggest plagarist, as millions of web pages are cached already...
The Government doesnt develop anything. They just restrict the companies they contract or buy from not to say anything about their operations.
Whoop-de-doo.
The Governement contracts, it doesnt develop.
These are simply undocumented features!!!

Wouldnt that be the entire microsoft.com domain?
Ever tried to browse their web page... and now they have one for questions?
The web is becoming redundant...
Hasnt this always been a possibility? Isnt there always a possibility for everything?
I bought an AXIO bag (the hybrid model) about 6 months ago. This thing absolutley ROCKS!
Here is the address from the Apple store.

A/C is amps per coulomb. Since an amp is a coulomb per second,

yes yes, I know this but you got to dress it up somehow to make it funny.
When FORCE QUIT doesn't work, 120V A/C to the processor does the trick every time.
You mean 120V AC (stands for Alternating Current, not Alternating per Current) to the Power Supply Unit (not the processor).
Effectually I'm sure the processor wouldn't like that either.

Cisco has many web based configuration utilities. Every GUI from configuring 2900 series switches, to PIX firewalls, to the Cisco Call Managers.
Ask google before posting dumb accusations.
OK let me bring some insight as to what potential is avaiable for Cisco to enter the home market.
h tml?CMP=ILC-001) also brings them in to the home security market.
Time Warner is one of Cisco's biggest customers. Time Warner is also a huge player in the broadband and home cable market.
Cisco's aquisition of Scientific Atlantic brings a Cisco owned product in to the home user cable market.
Cisco's recent agreement to purchase SyPixx Networks Inc (http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2006/corp_030706.
Now let's put the peices together.
Time Warner and Cisco are partners. Time Warner purchases Cisco equipment to provide VoIP and broadband services. Now lets add in a set top cable box. It is not unfeasable that Cisco will develop a way to utilize its virtual private storage solution in to this equation. What does this mean? Cisco becomes a service like TiVo.
