The minimum charge to fix a powerbook not under warranty is about 275 bucks. Now relate that one time you have to get something fixed to the total cost of your warranty for 3 years.
CS is the only freggin field that gets anything done.
How about the entire computing field, like Information Science, Network and Computer Engineering, Graphic Design, Web Design, Web Development, etc etc...
In my opinion CS is 2 or 3 years of coding. But you see the problem with CS is that it inherently does not have an intent or application of its use. That has to be created from the authors mind. You see Information Science you apply theknowledge of scripting, networking, server software etc.. so solve problems, or provide solutions, it has an inherent purpose. Unfortunately CS does not.
No more IE for Mac? SO WHAT! Internet Exploder sucked anyway. Safari and Firefox pwn IE.
Secondly there is a perfect replacement for Office for Mac. ITS CALLED iWORK 05. Jesus you dumbasses, you call yourself Mac users and dont even know the products. The only product that Apple needs is a spreadsheet application similar to Excel. Maybe this is why they tried to trademark some word last year that implicated spreadsheets (I cant rememeber what word it was). I never use database applications like MS Access so that one I dont even care enough about to address.
I have never heard of someone buying MS Office due to needing MS Access either...
So please stop panicing and making predicitons that arent needed./rant
1. AFCERTS BLOW ASS, and they wouldnt even be needed if we didnt use Winblows
2. Paper MCSE's... just for emphasis. Or poor decisions made by these civilian paper cert holder...like decisions NOT to hook up a fiber trunk in the NCC, but rather use that money to build a freggin snack bar. Yea real bright idea there guys. Only in the Air Force.
3. I am a 2E251, basically a Network Admin/Infrastructure technician in a fixed and deployed environment. I see stupid shit all the time, everyone does it, military and civilian, the only difference is the pencil whipping that certifies the false level of training, or intensity thereof in military personnel. Some are very good at their job, most often those are the people in another career field doing someone elses job.
4. Why are all of our cops now help desk techs... honestly people we do have the wrong people in the wrong places...
5. Finally RANKS DOES NOT CORRELATE TO KNOWLEDGE for the 5467568673245365889th time./rant
I know people think Gates is a genius in some circles but does it take a rocket scientist to throw a brick through a glass window in the middle of a riot?
ANYTHING is easier to use than linux. Good job Gates, way to make a revolutionizing prediction, or as I would rather think about it - way to state the obvious there jackass.
mod points pls?
"Some people are like slinkies. They are really good for nothing, but still bring a smile to your face when pushed down a flight of stairs.
The learning curve is still to steep, especially for children in developing countries who are unedcated, and honestly challenged form the start to learn the basics of elementary education. Linux is generally something that is picked up in college, as an alternative OS that students learn in Computer Science or Information Science cirricula. Trying to introduce this to a child is not only simply stupid, it is setting those children up for failure as well.
Yes I have a Red Hat account, I love my RHEL AS4 box, but I like the standardization of a *nix OS like OS X better. Mac has the smallest learning curve than any OS on the market. There is a reason Mac dominates the early education market, kids need to learn how to use applications that help them learn. Kids dont need to learn how to use the operating system to help them learn how to use an application that helps them learn (if that makes any sense).
What applications are out for Linux that would even help a child learn in the first place?
Open source is good, but simply to granular for a child to be learning when there are basic grammar, language, and arithmatic that needs to be learned first.
Apple is the company that wrote MS word for Microsoft when they first started out. Wonder why a M$ product has been around so long...its becasue Apple laid out the foundation.

The one guy at the company that M$ bought that made IE for Mac has chosen to retire.

You should learn more about Air Force OSI. Who do you think invented hard drive recovery?

I second this post USAF SSgt 2E251
But Apple doesnt have this problem...
own the damn Internet BIATCHES
"more consistent, predictable, and easier to manage than Linux.
Yes but I never can figure out just when Linux will blue screen...

100% overrated my fucking balls. MS antispyware? The two shouldnt even be allowed in the same sentence.
Shouldnt discussion take place before promotion? Somewhere between lies design, and inginuity.
Intel has 13 fabricatoin facilities worldwide. AMD has less than laf that. That is why AMD has inventory issues.

APPLE JUST PWNED YOU!
they will probably release it as an application sometime soon, with the remote being bluetooth.
